My original post was light hearted at best cheer up FFS we just got a very, very good and well earned point against City.

Furthermore why did he mention the pitch when he wasn’t directly asked about it?
You know, if he’s not using it as an excuse?

His interviews are usually annoyingly arrogant, as though he’s disgusted by being questioned by a mere mortal. Reminds of myself as a teenager being questioned by the headmaster on something that I was blatantly guilty of and therefore in trouble for. He’s a grown man however and not 13.

If I were a city fan, or even just a football fan as I am, I’d be quite interested to hear his analysis of the game what went wrong etc. Watching Peps interviews they stink of disrespect and I genuinely feel awkward and sorry for the interviewer who of course is just doing his job. I’m still baffled by your compulsion to jump on my again, light hearted, perhaps tongue in cheek remarks and defend your surprising hero here caveated with your bizarre ‘winners’ lecture.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

When you consider that, even after bringing on a couple of subs, our 13 players cost less than Grealish (£95m v £105m). Never mind the other £485m paid for the other 10 that played for City.
What a performance. Mitchell was outstanding, Kouyaté & Vicente equally so. Connor was everywhere, Anderson & Guehi best centre-back pairing I can remember.

Bring on Everton...

They were knocking the ball about throughout the first half and trying to walk the ball into the net whereas in the second they were a little more hurried and it showed. We had 13 heroes out there tonight although some stuck out more than others. The ref was very fair in the first half but the second half it was a different ref.
They had the better players and we had the better team, I have not been more proud of them before (even at Villa park).

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

Absolutely agree although I don’t think it’s a low bar at all a top place finish and at least QF of cup. Far exceeded my gloomy vision at beginning of the season and would be indicative of a promising future and not just another season keeping our head above water!

Good post Qwijibo!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

We could have easily conceded 3 goals, but at the end, we deserved the point. Great performance by our players.
