Seriously though, lets take our heads out of our asses........If at the start of the season we were offered a CL spot (not saying that we're guaranteed that) we all would have given a right nut or nipple for that deal.

Let's enjoy where we are and how we're playing but most importantly enjoy the development we've made in the last 2 seasons
Yeah, ok.

Clattenberg is still an arsexxxx though.

Trippier could have a field day here. Walker has gotten a nosebleed on a few occasions.

Need to start getting some balls into the box because we're controlling this but City are so crowding us out every time someone steps inside.

It's nervy for us but the players are doing well.

The commentators are a lot happier with us than either our manager or our fans. They reckon we've been the better team.

We've controlled the midfield, but we can't turn that into a coherent attack and the return of Kompany has made an obvious difference to the composure of City's defence. It doesn't help that we have wasted our only two threatening set pieces with lazy fouls in the box. Kane has been relatively uninvolved and Rose (our best attacking player so far) has looked in vain for players in the box when considering a cross.

By contrast, City have struggled to get a grip, but have looked much more threatening around the penalty box. Silva and Aguero look keen and Yaya Touré (who should have had at least one yellow card) has meant business when making forward runs.

Disgraceful refereeing today. Can't believe one individual have this much power over such a massive game.

Obviously on the take

Not sure about that. He has done the same for both sides, eg. wimmer should have been booked for the tackle on yaya

Totally understand what you are saying, but I don't think we will be so close to winning the league for many years to come. It is a probably a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Kane and son pretty meh, kane especially

Dembele and eriksen a bit too safe

Rose great if only he could cross.

Got a bad feeling about Walker

Nothing much from alli

Pretty even half so far. Clattenberg back up to the executive box to ask the sheikhs if the money has transfered ok

The longer this stays 0-0 the better for us as our superior fitness will come into effect, kompany and silva are just back from injury and toures running for 90 minute days are long gone COYS

if dier gets sent off and toure doesn't / is involved in a goal i will go so mad

every year we seem to get fucked over here, crazy penalties last year and ballotelli moment

I'd take dier off, you can just see a red coming! Not because he's being silly! But just because clattenburg is a monumental ****!

In a way. He's had a lot of the ball, energy, but his passing and crossing is woeful. Like Lennon used to be. No point all that work and whip in a rubbish cross

I wouldn't say his passing is woeful, his build up play and general passing is more than fine, I don't even think his crossing is that bad, he suffers from poor decision making, much like walker, nothing wrong with the delivery, just crosses when he should come inside and comes inside when he should cross. To be fair Davies and Trippier have been culpable of this on many occasions this year also.

Toure should've been sent off already while Dier makes one foul and a booking. Okay, yes it's a booking but the consistency (or lack there of) is pathetic.

Enjoyable in terms of possession, just need to create more chances. I love watching us off the ball working our socks off.

Been impressed with our commitment to winning the ball and we've had some nice touches. Struggling to break them down but we've been the better team by a small sliver I think.

Kane has been quiet. He will get a chance eventually. When he does though he has to score it.

It's definitely a 1-0 either way game. Or 0-0, which wouldn't be a disaster but would be disappointing. And Clattenberg is a twat
