Easy chance for Villa and fucked it up.

What a save from Ortega.

Subs: Carson, Walker, Ake, Doku, De Bruyne, Savinho, Simpson-Pusey, O'Reilly, McAtee.

Villa 1-0 Man City, Duran!

What a goal.

Great pass from Tielemans.

Villa lead. Single Duran

Martinez saves from Foden.

Horrendous decision making from McGinn, it was 5 v 2!

Man City are so easily ran through right now.

Gvardiol header over.

1-0 HT.

Walker on for Stones. :lol:

Man City are properly fucked now.

Cash with the terrible decision making this time.

Tielemans has had a really good game.

Rogers hits the post!

2-0 Rogers!

Brilliant from him.

Tielemans involved again.

I don’t know what the hell is going on at City but long May it continue!

It's unreal, this is beyond a blip now and into full-blown crisis - Pep out?

Watkins goes straight at Ortega.

:haha:

Villa 2-1 Man City, Foden.

:faint:

Villa 2-1 Man City, FT!

Citeh. :haha:

Absolute implosion.

At the moment the best word to describe City is haemorrhaging. Just completely bleeding out, they must wonder when the coagulant kicks in

They will probably carry on like this then have an upturn when they play us.

There’s clearly something wrong when people make me seem like Pollyanna (or the Arsenal equivalent which would be Ty from AFTV) :lol:

Ipswich 0-1 Newcastle, Isak.

0-3 Newcastle now, Murphy and Isak with his second.

Brentford 0-1 Forest, Aina.

Forest now 2-0 up

They have a decent collection of scalps - Liverpool, United (although arguably less impressive than it was) and now quite possibly Brentford (unbeaten at home and won all but one of their home games) . Yet ironically they are the only team City have beaten in the last eight games

Funny old world

Brighton ahead at Hammers (subject to VAR check)


It’s been given. Wieffer the goalscorer


No me neither

Elanga for Forest's second

Wieffer for Brighton's.

0-4 Newcastle, Isak hat-trick!

Kudus equalises. West Ham 1-1 Brighton

Forest win 2-0 at Brentford, up to third after 17 games - title contenders?

Nooooo not for me

Yes I get the idea that they could potentially do a Leicester, but Leicester had lost only one game at this point of the season (to us) and Forest have lost four.

Champions League qualification? Now there’s something that could be a possibility

But either way, they are very impressive compared to their relegation battling first two seasons

Nuno is a brilliant manager .....has always been.

Unforunately, he made the mistake of visting the graveyard of brilliant managers, Spurs, and that set his career back.

I just hope if he gets another shot at a big club, he doesn't choose one in the EPL...for our sake.

I believe people said the same about Leicester ;)

Ok, it's very unlikely but the table doesn't lie and they've been one of very few teams to beat Liverpool this season

They did say the same about Leicester, but that was a weird season in which all the usual suspects were misfiring at the same time. This year you have Liverpool, Chelsea and us going for it, hard to see Forest getting a look in. It’s always good to see a club like that doing well though

Anyway…COYS :sick:
