We had joked before game if we won it'd be a mega display as they'd have loads to burn.. Didn't expect to find out at that point.

Well....
... this.
Reassuringly shit but still top 6 for most of it. And they couldn't handle us because we are good.
Hilarious, genuinely. These people have become a parody of themselves. But I guess it suggests how far we've come that we're able to upset United fans on that scale.
I’m not going to watch it but isn’t that the whole point of those videos? People doing OTT characters for clicks.
The thumbnail told me all I needed to know.
‘Onana flappin like a fish bruv’
One Manchester accent in the whole thing, and it was one of the two white men. If they were trying to create a video to reinforce the stereotypical view of Man U fans, they've done a bang up job.
If that Manc accent was Mark Goldbridge, he’s from Nottingham and it’s all an act. His real name is Brett.
Good on him though, as acting the clown for views on YT really does pay. I’ve been doing it on here for fuck all.
Although there's the kudos, as we all respect your art. Cockchops.
I’ve done some sums on possible backpay and I reckon that on a like/views ratio my algorithm says I owe you 50p.
Assume everyone has seen this by now: twitter.com/CityGroundShelf/status/1741755061095546905
Gibbs-White in the huddle clearly says "look at their faces, they don't want to be here", after which the first United player shown is Eriksen looking like he doesn't want to be there.
I'd seen them at but not been sharp and enough to lip-read what he said straight off the start of the clip. Morgan was clearly correct, too, in his observation.
This wasn't correct, by the way. We lost to Spurs at home in the league last season (0-2 as well), so Newcastle put us level and beating United puts us 3 ahead.
Brentford marks the end of the massive opportunity we had to make up ground, from 7 games where we got nothing last season, and into a run where we'll have to be pretty good to keep pace with the 17 from 9 last season, including Arsenal and Liverpool at home.
Then we finish off with 8 games that yielded 4 points, so plenty of chances to improve (most obviously 1 point from Fulham and Wolves at home and Sheff U/Leeds and Burnley/Leicester away).
By the time I'd finished reading that I had began to believe this was more important than the league table.
The league table is all very well but makes no allowance for the relative difficulty of the games played. This isn't the championship where the difference between best and worst isn't that great - the differences between Man City away and Sheffield United at home is massive.
I find this quite an interesting take on trying to normalise the league table as well:
"Baseline" here is win all your home games against the non big 6 teams gives you 39 points, which keeps you up.
Where's our fucking badge stars?
I'm not a fan of the infill either. It should be single colour.
