I haven't seen/heard it but it's reported that Pep has said it was a "landmark" result for the Club.

I think you're definitely right about it being our step to the next level..........este absolut minunat, prietenul meu :D

We have just played 2 CL semis against Real (albeit not very well) and we are up with the big boys - if we don't believe it ourselves how can we convince others? Good news is the pundits seem to be getting it.

So yes, good game, well played, next match please.


I think the fact that we came from behind in this one gives it huge significance in terms of our squad mentality in particular.


We did that against Bayern in Germany.

How is this any more of a watershed moment than that?


Bayern had already qualified from the group going into that game, still a fantastic achievement but last night was special.

What made last night significant to me was that the players seemed to know they were playing against 12 men from the moment Sterling was booked. They refused to let the ref influence the result.

Personally the best game I have been in attendance is the 5 - 1. The best I've seen on tv is the 6 - 1 and 'that' moment. Last night in the top 3. We simply outclassed Barca in the first 20 and the whole of the second half.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

I've witnessed so many great moments over the years, will anything ever top Jamie Pollock's own goal though?

Maybe zaba, Silva or Kompany dropping the champions league trophy from the winning balcony?

Good old Jamie, historic moment he will always be remembered for.

the 1-0 v rags in the fa cup semi was bigger/more emotional than the 6-1.

Yes we were 2 of the 32,040 people there. Utterly incredible goal.

Yes, the WBA was pretty special. The second half yesterday was the best I've seen though.

I agree , best City half ever , just think its Barcelona plus ref and they cant take ball over the centar for 10 minute at times.



As good as we were in that second half. I think we would struggle to beat a second half performance that we had against Spurs in the FA cup. 3-0 down at half time and down to 10 men for the 2nd half. That was unbelievable Jeff. Stuff of fairytales

Beat me to it. One of the greatest comebacks in English football, let alone for us

Yes, I watched that game with a dipper. It was fantastic but the noise and the quality of football last night was almost overwhelming. Still buzzing.
