The lovely thing about it is, if we win against Preston, Millwall, Ipswich or Middlesbrough have to win, a draw won't do.

South coast team Worthing up into the National League after securing the title with a win against Ebbsfleet.

Especially considering he's not at full fitness.

Agreed, I thought they'd target and exploit him but he was excellent. His run back to block (what turned out to be offside, but he wasn't to know) that shot in the first half was a superb example of his solid performance today.

Why Huw Edwards, by the way?

Absolutely superb. Lovely weather, excellent voices heard throughout - before, during and after the match. Always consider how attractive the fans are, too. Our fanbase seemed to have a far more handsome and beautiful set of specimens compared to that ugly bunch of northerners. 😇😉

Hopefully not a case of 'after the Lord Mayor's show'. Need to keep momentum and get a win here, ready for the playoffs.

Agreed. Man City the root of it, really. Well, the formation of the Premier League ultimately. The financial imbalance is ridiculous. We're going against a club whose capacity for spending is could be measured alongside countries GDPs, and a club who are facing hundreds of allegations of financial rule abuse.

Hope Arsenal win the league

It's all about moments, mate. Man City could easily say 'we shouldn't have let Azaz turn' or 'Reijnders should've scored his volley easily'.

We'd been defending for our lives for the entire half. I'll let them off for not closing him down once (most of the time we did that brilliantly).

Sorry pal, if you're on the inside of him he will go to the byline but not stop, he'll then cutback and either shoot or whip it across the face of goal. There's no simple solution, really - don't diminish our defensive efforts today by saying we played him wrong, we did our best.

Did we roll out the red carpet for him? It's not a fucking choice mate, he's a brilliant winger. You do your best to stop him.

You absolutely cannot criticise our defending. Ridiculous to even try. Despite that, City are going to have attempts at goal. Of course they bloody are. Peretz saved us a few times. On balance of play, City winning by one goal about right. We made them fucking sweat though. What a moment from Azaz...

Brilliant at winning the ball back and making forward runs and passes. So important to our attacks in those situations. A momentum changer.
