Saw that. Looking forward to what he does there next season.



I've come to the conclusion that Nasri's head mimics a glass of Guiness.

What's wrong with it? His hair is dark on the sides and white on top? First thing I thought of when I saw him go out there.

Would you prefer I say pint like a red coat?

I live in the US, I'm not some UK blowhard.

Referring to a pint of Guinness as a glass is hilarious. It's not about being British ya tard

Lol I mean I didn't know what you were referring to?

I've never called it a pint and don't know a single soul that does.

Granted, I live in DFW so if I'm going dark it's Shiner. Not a fan of Guinness.

For those interested, City advanced to the FA Youth Cup Final today after beating Arsenal 4-3 on aggregate. They face Chelsea in the Final.

Links to the 2 goals they scored today.

Verratti and Pastore out tomorrow. ADM in.

Yaya out for the good guys. Hart was in training today....maybe? Sucks that Nasri can't play (glad we have Nacho!) but at the time it was the right decision.

Gonna need good performances from KDB and Navas tomorrow. It WAS Bournemouth, and they weren't challenged much, but Otamendi and Mangala had a decent outing over the weekend. Better than anything I've seen from them so far this season.

Pulling for a draw but I think we can crawl back from one down. 2+ is tricky.

Navas has actually been above average in Europe this season so I'm not really worried about him or KDB.

I think not having Sterling will hurt most, he's likely been one of our top three performers in the UCL this season. Hopefully the Fernando's can keep things going in the midfield like they have. An in form Fernando has proven deadly over the last couple of years, especially in the UCL.

No Verratti is huge.

This is huge. IMO Sterling has been the best player on the team in CL play. At least KDB is back though. That's the only thing that gives me hope.

Well it wasn't pretty, and I hate Pelle cause he won't sub Aguero off. But those points are huge for top 4, especially if we make semis of CL.

Big three points like Jturn said.

Praying Aguero is okay.

Pellers has said that Aguero is fine and will play Tuesday.

Someone convince me that KDB isn't the 2nd best player on this squad. He changed the game today immediately. He's been back two games and we already look better. That horrible dip in form? That coincided with when he went down. He missed a ton of time and STILL leads the squad in assists. His vision is amazing. Even if we don't score we see WAY more chances when he's on.

That being said, Yaya was good Yaya today. When he feels the pressure he thrives. I wouldn't be surprised if he balls out against PSG.

Nasri, you beautiful, fat, out of shape, horrible haired, smedium shirt wearing, French lesbian. Got the go ahead goal and lost his mind. Wasn't amazing but he busted his arse out there. I really wish he could play against PSG but replacing him with Nacho was the right call.

Fun shite off the pitch:

Nasri says without KDB, healthy Merlin, and himself, we have been predictable.

Can't disagree. For whatever reason *coughPellegrinicough* Sterling's game has changed since he signed. He has become a black, British Navas. Streak down the sides and pass at the first sign of pressure. Couple that with Pellegrini keeping Nacho on the bench and you have even less creativity. Nacho can look lost as hell when he first comes on but I can't think of a match he's played where we didn't look better after he came on.

SURPRISE!!!!!! Yaya's agent flapping his gums again.

This one if tough to digest. His agent is obviously a POS and has been for a while but wowwwwwwwww. "Yaya will return and take Txiki's job"?! He's making Pep's decision much easier. Clearly we're seeing Yaya's last days at the Etihad. Sad times.

Are you sure he isn't the best player on the squad? He seems to have a bigger impact than Aguero.

Maybe Aguero is better but KDB has been the MVP of the team all year.


I wasnt too impressed with Nasri all match, but he had a really strong final 10 min or so. He tracked back and worked hard to keep them in the lead. He definitely looked rusty at the start. The game looked to be moving too fast for his decision making. But it was definitely nice having him back so KDB and Silva could get some time off.

Still cant believe Iheanacho didnt get any time today and that Aguero played nearly the full 90.

If De Bruyne didn't get hurt I honestly think he would have been the player of the year in the league, even with Mahrez being lights out.

Nobody, IMO, can touch an in-form Aguero. Agreed about KDB being MVP though.
