Really?

4-1 , constant attacking and movement, loads of chances , pretty boring ?

When Yaya came on, yes. Love the guy but it just petered out. City not stretching for these records in one game.
They know it’ll come.
But it makes the formalities of seeing out the last 10-15 minutes quite boring.

Easy peasy.

A joy to watch and nobody can doubt our respect for the other clubs fighting to stay in the league.

WWWWWwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy below our best ; but 4-1 away , that's how good we are.
Harry & Sane playing like a couple of drunks. Both need a rest. Foden should have come on. Shaky at the back. Delph & Dinho impressive.

Razzer was brilliant, glad he got the Motm

He had a few touches after he came on in one move but that was it.

Ah, that's good. I missed that.

Pablo went over to applaud the City fans after the match. Class from a legend.

Great appreciation that is. Could see Kompany or Silva or Yaya doing the same as well

Some folk cant wait for us to be shit again going off this latest "Match Thread"

We only played 80% scored 4 , should have been 6 or 7 and a stonewall pen not given . As soon as we threatened to run riot Moyes made a treble substitution to go extra defensive ............... football eh ? CTID

We were attacking non-stop until the end. West Ham didn't have 1 shot in the second half and barely touched the ball in the last 15 minutes. The ball was almost entirely in the final third near the end.

What more do you want? We were 4-1 up away from home and in complete control.

I'm becoming quite fond of Evra, what with his entertaining debut for old red nose, and his brilliant deflected headers.

Creswell has the decency to admit he fouled Sterling and it was a penalty.

I dont think it could ever have been a more obvious penalty .

I think the referee is just plain fucking stupid ...really stupid .

A fuckign TiT even .

What’s worse is the linesman was on that side too.

great win. Would love to see zabba given a role at City once he stops playing at this level, top man.

um, duh? City are a terrible, shit club and im only here to criticize them

You just don't understand mate. Many years following a team makes you the person you are, turning up last minute doesn't give you that understanding of other fans ills.

how long do i have to support them to finally qualify as having supporting them for "many years" and no longer being "last minute"?
please, tell me when ill be able to understand other, better fans than me.

When you respect those around you.

If you've been around 10 years or less you will never understand what it is to be city fan, that's not yours or anyone else's fault of course but to go through all the shit we had to endure back in the 3rd division and everything else before and after kind of makes you different with an unrivalled level of sense of humour and way think in general. You see we were really shit back than and pulled off some amazing stuff when we really shouldn't have, to a level where for me even the infamous premier league winning season doesn't actually come close to being the best moments of the wonderful clubs history

I've always said I'm a bit gutted that my kids won't know what it's like to really support City. If you're a 7 year old lad at school and all your mates support United and United are winning everything but you still choose to support City - you're a supporter, not just a fan of City.

Whooooo, Match of the Day!

My youngest lad was disappointed not to see more goals against Stoke at home (he is 6). I keep telling them how bad we were so they can maybe appreciate what they are seeing now.

One of the more recent examples was Stuart Pearce’s last season as city boss. In particular after the 2nd of Jan 2007. Not sure anyone who didn’t see it can appreciate that.
