Unbelievable performance from city tonight. One of the all time great defensive performances from Dias. Never mind best since Rooney, Foden might be the best young English player in my lifetime. Has to start in the Euros.
He’s the best English player I’ve seen. Probably since Gazza and likely will be better than him as he’s (as far as I know) not on the piss and everything else.

When you say he has to start....the whole England side should be built around him full stop. Likes of Grealish etc aren’t fit to lace his boots. I’m sure there isn’t a single ounce of doubt about him starting every game because who on earth else would play ahead of him?

Yeah he's phenomenal. All the Stockport Iniesta stuff, but then he's somehow got properly quick over the last few years, more like a young Messi at the moment. Ludicrous first touch, at pace, added goals, performances in big games at that age. Hopefully he can stay fit and focused.

(And I'm a big Grealish fan btw, but it's Kane, Foden and one other).

It’s a shame we’ve got Kane and not much else. Oh for the days of a Shearer or Lineker. Ah well.

Throughout his time at Man City I've been a huge admirer of Sergio Aguero, I'd even go so far as to say I defy anyone not to be; however, few things have me shout "chuffed, serves you right you tosser" at the TV quite like seeing a player's dinked penalty kick being collected by a barely troubled keeper 😂

The fact the keeper started to go down, then casually stood up and caught it, made it all the more embarrassing. 😂

It was very funny, though I'm not sure it warranted his later actual statement apologising to his teammates, fans etc :lol:

I think you've got credit in the bank there, Sergio!

About the only thing the keeper didn't do, was spin it on his index finger. Funny as fcuk.

Congratulations to Leicester City on their first FA Cup win. Superb winner from Tielemans and a couple of fantastic saves by Schmeichel. Helped out by VAR, but it’s Chelsea, so I’m a bit meh about that.

Leicester played well. Just had the feel of an upset today although I guess only a minor one given their league positions.

But someone different winning it is always appreciated. And incredibly moving seeing their owners tears’ for his father at the end.

That save from Schmeichel is easily one of the best I’ve seen.

Lovely to see Leicester win it, not a fan of Vardy, but as a club otherwise I like them. Did you see how they celebrated with their owner too? Real affection for him, can’t see that sort of thing happening at certain other clubs I could mention 😬.

How can you not be a fan of Vardy? He’s the literal definition of rags to riches, Roy of the Rovers stuff.

Probably because he turned Arsenal down and scores against them. 😉

I actually respected his loyalty turning us down tbh but he does always score against us and just comes across as a cocky so and so.

I love the little scally.

One of the silver linings of the panny-d has been hearing what is shouted in the pitch. Realising how Sunday league some of it is "box em in" or my favourite, keepers shouting "away" at corners (thanks keeps).

But two highlights: Rob Holding, after giving away a soft free kick to Adama Traore shouting "how's he gone down like that, he's built like a brick shithouse?!" And Jamie Vardy as he got booted up in the air on the half way line in the cup semi shouting "you silly BASTARD"

Arsenal have had some ‘open mic’ vids on fb recently where they’ve trailed a player throughout the match and transcribed what s/he’s said, which have been really interesting, though sadly they leave most of the rude stuff out!

However, my favourite moment that way remains from the end of last season, Emi Martinez as Luiz tried to go up for the corner: "David! David! No! Where the f*ck are you going?!" :lol:

I’ve enjoyed the goal cam videos the club has put out, leaving all of the swearing in. One keeper screaming ‘’feck offfff’ as we scored a late winner and various yells of ‘Get the feck in’ as we scored most goals. My personal fave was the kid behind the goal at Crawley, shouting ‘unlucky, Morris. Keep on trying’ after our 4th goal went in. 😂
