@MarkMmmac @ianbrightwell12 @brighty1971 Was at both debuts. Ian’s was Wimbledon’s first game in top flight.

@Murd73 @WilliamShuttoh Paul Stewart scored a couple of outside the box belters that possibly went unrecorded. David Phillips v Charlton should be on there (he scored a few). That SWP chip from inside the 6 yard box (maybe I misremember!).

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

@Murd73 @The_Paris_Angel @Barcajim3 This honour goes to Trevor Francis v Wolves. On the volley running on to a ball coming from over his shoulder (not unlike Clive Allen at Chelsea).

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

@City_Xtra Not a half volley that.

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

@XavsFutbol @AhsanNaeem See how those top 10 transfers also slot perfectly into the shape City play (plus a keeper obvs). So back 4; KW JS AL BM, Rodri as def mid with KDB and Bernardo the pair of no. 8s and a front 3 of Mahrez, Aguero and Sterling. Funny innit.

@sid_lambert Empty seats phone in.

@City_Xtra @ChampionsLeague @sterling7 @FCShakhtar_eng @LeroySane19 @achtzehn99_en Someone should show them the Sane goal at Schalke.

@BeyondTLM There;s a difference between a cagey or tactically tight game and one where both teams are playing crap.

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

Large Technical Areas (LTA).

@talkSPORT @Higginbotham05 Much more to this than fitness.

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

Sure, Danny. Nice one.

DANNY MURPHY: Kevin De Bruyne really can do it all... but being benched again may make him think about his future at Man City https://t.co/GcEVeXe0uj

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

Fantastic.

[RSC Anderlecht @rscanderlecht]

BREAKING NEWS: #Theprinceisback. #COYM #RSCA. Stay tuned

@MCFCworld It might be Fernandinho or Daveed in the short term but the next leader for this team is Bernardo.

[Trevor Sinclair @trevor8sinclair]

For anyone who wonders why Pep is off with some sports journalists at times 🐍

Brilliant @BillEdgarTimes City stats

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

@kinkyafro2885 @davidyelland @ManCity That our media panders to the country’s biggest fan bases? Unfortunately, not. This goes on all the time for tv subscriptions, clicks, ad revenue etc.

[David Yelland @davidyelland]

London sports editors know their market is full of Liverpool fans and not many @ManCity fans. I know. I remember that when editing the biggest paper. I have always been a rare Blue since I moved south. But to lead on a losing team when we win back to backs? #werenotreallyhere

@northernmonkee1 @Murd73 Tolkien definitely wasn’t playing!!

[SportsBriefs @SportsBriefs]

@northernmonkee1 @Murd73 Tolkien wasn’t playing then was he? I was Platt Lane then. Didn’t graduate to the Kippax until Wimbledon’s first game in the top flight.
