that was a trip worth making wasn't it?

[Woodyblue]

What was official attendance tonight please?

Are you circling seats?

Officially a sell-out.

I've been challenged on this Beefy. Couldn't find anything online. I heard it was a sell out but the Sun had a piece saying that there were 300000 only!

Also, on kick off there were a good few empty seats but stadium looked full later on.

Just looking for an official #

It was listed as a sell out. For some reason The stewards outside have suddenly decided to start searching everyone coming into the ground the last two matches causing massive queues and delaying peolple getting in for kick off. Needs sorting but probably won't be.

Slightly amazing game!!!

This match thread is potentially a classic. Such a rollercoaster of emotions. For those there can you answer a couple of Q's please?

I didn't see the start. Was the Poznan done? How did the atmosphere compare? How much stick did the ref cop?

There was an attempt at the Poznan, it didn't take off.

Atmosphere was incredible in second half, good at times first half but obvious lulls.

Crowd were asking the ref "what's the score?" at the end.

[iwasthere2012]

We got in early. No Poznan done, just the booing and atmosphere started very cagey and nervy. After a few injustices the place was rocking and with 3 minutes to go there was close to a full house still in the ground.

Missed the first ten again in huge queues outside. Nearly as bad as the Celtic game.

amazing match. emotions were all over the place.

i know people are gonna slam the ref (he was awful) and specifically mention the Aguero non-pen (100% a penalty) but their 3 goals and their penalty came from absolutely WOEFUL defending from the City back 5. Otamendi completely out of place for their 2nd and made a stupid challenge for the pen; Willy with a dreadful clearance for the first goal; and Stones got manhandled for the 3rd and was all out of place for the 1st.

Aguero was fantastic and so was Leroy. Kevin is still slightly off it but even when he is he's still good.
thank god we have 8 days off before the cup match.

[PrezIke]

What an insane game that was! Instant classic!!

Only could see the first half live, where I was left frustrated and had to wait until midnight here in New York to watch the 2nd. The emotions all of us must have gone through in the 2nd half must have been wild.

So many amazing performances amongst defending and the horrific non pen shout, and other questionable referee decisions that drove me mad (we got one for the time Ottamendi fouled in the box compared to more for them I'd say, particularly with some fouls that drove our players to near madness).

I can't for the life of me figure out who to give MOTM. Too many choices. I'll sleep on it, but very happy for Kun to see him work as hard as I have since Barca in the 2nd half today where we saw him win the ball back at least twice to drive us forward, as well as score, and create unselfishly such big goals.

I could mention decisions they got in pretty much every game this season......but what's the point. He's a wanker....end of story

Ottamendi - this prick should never be anywhere near our first team , he has got to be the worst shit head defender we have ever had.

Hes a fuckign liability ala Bravo standard.I hate seeing him in our line up.

Have to agree mate.
For every good last ditch tackle he makes, there are 10 total fuck ups in between. he just isn't strong enough for me to be a centre half.

We really need to get an experienced centre half in there next to Stones to bring him on. Kompany would have been perfect but for injuries.
Thing that gets me is the lack of talking from the back 4 during a game. Look back over the years and all good centre back pairings were constantly talking
