Thank fuck that's over with

[blues2win]

Under pressure at the very end. 15 points clear!!!!

[Dunne's Half-Time Pint]

cant see Newcastle or Benitez parking the bus so it should be a wide open game .:

Not watched much Rafa then?

They aren't capable of parking the bus properly pal .

You'd be better off admitting that you guessed and were wrong. Did we get the all time PL possession record in the end?

[dick dastardley]

I'll take the 3 points, we ain't gonna whitewash teams every game

[branny]

Worst I've seen us this season. Glad we weren't playing Burnley.

[PeterParker]

Last year this would had been 2 points lost.

We really are that good.

[zabbadabbado]

You can see why Guardiola wants Sanchez..We should have been going in at half time 3-0 up game over.Instead we ended up hanging on at the end.I love Aguero but fuck me some of his misses this season have been pretty dreadfulI.

Not at our best but we won.The sign of Champions.

Only gripe tonight is i think even not at our best,we should have paisted these 5,6,- 0 on the chances we created.

[budfox]

That'll do pig, that'll do.

[PrezIke]

Win is a win.

Still can’t be defeated.

15 points clear

Glad to keep reading that you’ve come over to the light side of the force this season mate

Some mard arses on here tonight. Kun did his best, hit the post twice and could have scored but for fine goalkeeping. What right do we have to score 5 ,6 or 7 ?
They have to be earned.
The game was pure dominance, and any other time we would be four up.
Moaning about Kun , what about Kevin and his near misses or shots wide?

Anyway , torn between tin tin and Raheem for motm.

Too many games over Christmas in my opinion,players genuinely look fucked tonight.Thats why you will always get upsets over the Christmas period.It is hard to play to optimal best every 3,4, days.

Saying that,admittedly with no David Silva, and KDB off his game tonight we look like a different outfit.

Seen the light mate.

How's the ref doing? Got it on 5Live with Shearer commentating and even he doesn't seem to get some of the decisions.

6/10. No major decisions against us but missed a stonewall red for a foul on Gundo. And failed to call another obvious foul on Nico, giving them an extra corner. But is calling their persistent fouling on us in the midfield, so not all bad

Cheers BB, I think Shearer was being far too unbiased in the commentary box and that's why I asked. Unlike the live text feed who thought we were lucky to get the win.

Shearer said we thoroughly deserved it and the match stats back that up.

Good win against a dogged side during a difficult period.

We march on.

[dick dastardley]

Hopefully Silva 1 will be back next game, was company injured or was it tactical? We still need one more striker to take the burden off sergand jesus

Kdb Off his game tonight ? are you serious ? he was all over the park. Dominated midfield totally, which is his job.

That wasn't parking the bus that was not competing , like I said Newcastle haven't got the players or quality to park the bus effectively AND we SHOULD have been at least 4 nil up half time , Aguero wasteful yet again !!! Park the bus is 2 banks of 5 , Newcastle adopted 3-4-3 behind the ball yes but NOT PARKING THE BUS !

[CTID Hants]

There is no denying we deserved the win and some of the comments were simply born from frustration.

On to the next game.....

Must have been injured. Can't make a tactical sub after eleven minutes

I agree Aguero tried his best, just couldn’t hit a Barn Door tonight. When he is having one of those nights you might as well sub him because he offers nothing else.

I think Jesus hold up play is much better than Aguero, I think that’s why Guardiola prefers to keep Jesus on instead of Aguero . I agree with Guardiola,i.Love Ageruo but his hold up play is pretty shit. When its one of those nights and you are only 1-0 up possession is key, you just got to see out the game.
