Party time at the Etihad today

Yesterday was a good day. Today can be even better

Let’s turn up, put on a show and celebrate another title

5-0 Foden

3 games to go and need 8 goals to hit 100, would be a nice cherry on top.

After the game i would love for the under 18s and EDS be paraded out with their pots and then flank the stage when the lads go up for theirs.

If you asked non City fans how would know we've smashed the top flight at all 3 age competitions???

That would really make people sit up.

In the words of cheesy "it's great to be a blue"

Strongest bench the Prem has ever seen. Maybe the world.

Wow wholesale changes

Would have rather he just rested Rodri and KDB today let the others tear Chelsea a new one. Can see us lose today tbh

[nottsblue]

Maybe they had a session last night and they are a bit worse for wear!

Nonetheless, will still hope to see us do well and get 3 points

1st thought I had when I saw that line up I know I know we are champions but would have liked to finish the season at home in style ,
Come on City prove me wrong

[john@staustell]

I suppose it makes sense after Real. Back to business in the week though - can't have us getting rusty before the finals

[Mase]

Honestly didn’t expect that team! Thought maybe a first team for our final game but who gives a fuck - we’ve won the league

[blues2win]

Phillips had to start. If not now when. Surprised Kevin’s even on the bench. Foden in midfield? Perfectly capable of it. The only thing that matters is ensuring our players are fit and ready for the two Cup finals. I expect we will drop points over the last three matches but there we are.

[Kippax Sean]

Fringe players getting a start I'm happy enough with that. Be nice to get the win today in style but I think it'll be a tight game with that starting 11. A big celebration regardless, as mentioned I hope our feelings are made known regarding the PL charges nonsense. Stick it to them City!

[ruralblue]

He could have perhaps had a stronger line up then made changes at half time. He must see something in gomez. Ortega doesn't worry me and assume Lewis will play the Stones role. Phillips worry me muchly.

Taking a second look there are still goals all over that squad, more than likely no clean sheet but i actually still fancy us for the win. The crowd had better still sing for this team, which i am sure they will.

I reckon Pep has put his card behind the corporate bar for the 1st team and deservedly so.

[nottsblue]

Any word of a guard of honour for the boys?

[Indianablue]

Starting 11 will get rinsed by Chelsea

[dazby]

A chance for the fringe to show their worth. Time for Cole Palmer to get amongst it and show his worth.
