Portugese ref tonight João Pinheiro

[Nigels Tackle]

anything less than 7 and i’ll be disappointed

Back to the CL

In what should be a relatively easy group to progress from, it starts off tonight. Let’s kick on as we mean to progress. Put down a marker to show we want to win it again.

Can’t see anything other than a comfortable win to be honest

6-0 Haaland with his first hat trick of the season and Doku, Rodri and Bernardo with the others

Kolorov doing a bit of punditry niiiice

[john@staustell]

Once again I'd challenge anyone to have guessed Pep's selection

Spent 3 weeks in hospital dreaming of permutations to foil any guess

COME ON CITY

[Dubciteh]

Thought we would have rotated a bit more. Also surprised to see Gomez there though.

Pep explained the Gomez thing. As usual none of it made any sense

Does his hat trick v Fulham not count?

I’d like to say I meant in the CL.

But alas, rumbled

[nottsblue]

Buzzer brings out ol big ears

Wonder if any of the current squad wonder whether in 40-50 years they’ll be doing something similar as a legend of the past?

[Nigels Tackle]

standard bit of virtue signalling to kick things off

[nottsblue]

Come on BLUE BOYS

[nottsblue]

Started with good intent. Surely a matter of time before we score

[blues2win]

Phil seeing a lot of the ball. As expected Gomez pushing forward on the left.

[PeterParker]

Foden knows he has a right leg also he can use?

[blues2win]

Good try from Rodri and a good save.

[Nigels Tackle]

good to see gazprom sponsoring red star?!
