I was maybe in the minority but I watched the City-Stoke game instead of the CL fixtures. I don't care about the CL anymore, unless Chelsea is playing because the fixtures are so repetitive the last couple of years like PSG-Barca, Bayern-Arsenal etc. And that was an important game for the title race in my view.

I have to say City were not good at all. They had a couple of chances but none of which threatened Grant at all. And applauds to Stoke for the performance. Didn't expect to be so solid defensively after conceding 4 goals last weekend, with 3 in the first half.

I don't get why Pep made so many rotations. I know they played 3 days before that but this weekend they will play in the FA Cup against Boro where they could save some players for the CL fixture with Monaco.

But in the end, it's their problem and good result for us. Let's win our next two games and by the time they play us at The Bridge they may be already out of the title race.

same here, decided to catch glimpses of the city game rather than barca-psg (was going to watch that later but ended up getting spoiled :rant:)

This is the first time this season I feel somewhat confident we have the title in the bag (barring a collapse of unprecedented proportions). It seems pep is more concerned by the CL at this point than the league, none of us will be complaining. However, Spurs are kind of on the up and their GS and GA are similar to ours so I wouldn't celebrate just yet but it's looking good :cig:

Well then lets hope the mighty Lincoln fucks up some North Londoners seasons for them.

From look of ground at least the Lincoln supporters are ore up for it than their oppositions and bringing some atmosphere with them! Seems all their lot are in and rest of ground looks empty.

Would be bloody brilliant!!!!

Good analysis on MNF of Pogba.....If you actually completely disregard the price and focus totally on his performances they have been so poor, and then when you watch him, especially as what was highlighted last night it's completely crazy just how poor the levels he has been playing at barring the odd flashy ball over the top. So factoring the price in now......Fucking insane money, for IMO, a very middle of the road player.

To be fair a number of people expressed that opinion about  his abilities before he rejoined ManU.
