Just sent this message to my daughter, thought I’d share .....

“With the exception of GTFCs 4-0 demolition of Sheffield Utd to win the 79/80 3rd Division title, I have never witnessed a more impressive performance than City in that first half - wow. When you consider that was against the greatest club side in the world .... what more can I say. City have been superb”.

No way Sheffield United are the greatest club side in the world.

Is the punchline that Sheikh Mansour received a message from you saying, ‘Hello Poppet. Sorry for making you wear those braces but you’ve got to admit, your smile is as crisp as a Kingsley Black free kick. Lots of love. Dad’.

We were pretty good when we beat City 4-1 in the mid Eighties

To add:

Someone posted on the BBC that Luton played Coventry in Div 2 only 5 years ago.  Not sure I remember that.  One of them will be in the PL next season.

Good win for City. It’s amazing what a team you can get for on outlay of just £1.5 billion isn’t it.

I know it’s fun to mock the amounts of cash spends but spending money doesn’t equate to success, Utd have spent more and are bang average, just as a comparison.

Whatever anyone thinks, you’d have to be a hard faced miserable twit to not have enjoyed watching City dominate and dismantle a side that win the European Cup for fun.

They were relentless and the fluidity to their play is something to behold. I genuinely think had we drawn City in the cup they’d have hit double figures.

It’s win win all round really; they win the champions league in June and the one thing Manure fans have been clinging to, that makes them unique disappears right before their eyes or Inter win with a scrappy, archetypal Italian Shithouse performance which will really be fun, seeing a team that drift from excellent to shite over the course of a couple of games…

Tell me how much Real have overspent from all the dodgy deals they’ve done with Spanish and local government like selling their old training ground to fund the first galacticos era.

And funnily enough, Real Madrid’s total debt is €1.5bn (£1.3bn) and that is spiralling out of control as the cost of refurbishing the Bernebeu goes up and up.

Man City & PSG didn’t cause the current financial climate in European football, they are a consequence of it.

Hmmm. I don’t know. Even if City clean up this season it will still be…

United 3-1 City for European Cup/Champions League wins.

United 20-9 City for Top flight League title wins.

United 12-7 City for FA Cup wins.

Obviously City would match the treble that United won in 1998/99, but if we’re honest it’s easier to win that now as there’s virtually no domestic rivals close to them. Man Utd had to overcome a great Arsenal team to win both domestic honours that season.

Anyway, Man Utd are going to win the FA Cup and I have proof.

Look who’s knocked us out of the 3 cups this season. In both the EFL Cup and EFL Trophy we’ve been knocked out by a team who reached the Semi-Final and lost at that stage to the eventual winners of the competition. Therefore the FA Cup will be won by Man Utd who beat Brighton in the Semi-Final.
