Just kidding, there's only 5 games on today including the later kickoff.

City will surely be first, but with Leicester coming from behind I think they'll be ahead of us. And think Sheff U's win over Everton will be ahead of us. That leaves it between our game and the Newcastle vs Brighton. So think we'll be 4th or last.

Watford, I’ve not seen a lack of effort like that. Don’t know who number 29 is but they were not interested at all.

Why’s Shearer talking about Aguero after the Man City game and not Burnley?

What a ridiculous stat the “expected goals” is. City should have had 6!!! They got 8 and should have had 13.

I’m not sure why he was having a go at the Watford players for not running about at 6-0 but City were.

They were 6-0 down you plank. D’ya not think they’re down on their knees whilst the City players will be buzzing.

Silly man.

I would disagree. Even if you are playing 5 a side and you're losing by ten goals you keep trying. Because you've got pride and self respect.

Not really, as a fan you'd expect your team to keep trying, even when getting battered, pride in the shirt etc etc.

I get those points. But to be honest the Watford fans wouldn’t have noticed or been bothered even if they did. They have still been ****** off at the result. They wouldn’t have said a word about them running about for a bit with half an hour to go.

Bit of a random stat there - Everton have never come from behind to win with Silva as manager :shock:

Cahill pretty critical about Everton.

Poor KRBFC will be furious, especially with how well we played.

Stone wall penalty on Barnes. It looked a pen live but I assumed it was an optical illusion as it didn’t even go to VAR.

Garbage refereeing, compounded by non-use of the technology supposed to limit the effect of garbage refereeing.

Garbage.

Was a penalty all day long!

The threads on the fact it’s a MOTD bias are embarrassing though boys & girls!

Hearing that Flores told the Watford team to go out and treat the game as a cup final.....

I read somewhere that Watford tried to bring Ben Stokes to save the game for them.

I was at the City game yesterday. Should have been at least 11 nil. Never seen a better team. Amazing that Watford had taken a point off Arsenal only the week before and City had lost at Norwich. The atmosphere at the Etihad isn’t amazing but the stadium and the experience can’t be knocked.

would have been good if city continued scoring at the rate of five goals every 18 minutes to make it 25-0.
shame on them for easing up on watford.
