That's an outrageous penalty decision. Significantly worse than the disallowed goal in the first half. The ref has cost #Inter a positive result there.

Pretends to be shocked.

A good day of football. A comfortable win for #ManCity, I expected a little more from Sunderland but it shouldn't detract from a professional performance. Cherki and Foden were great to watch, however I thought Gvardiol and O'Reilly were excellent throughout.

We scored from a fucking corner #ManCity

Back to the Etihad, hoping for a better performance than last week. The Arsenal result should give us encouragement, but Sunderland will be well up for this #ManCity

I see Question Time is doing an immigration special, from Dover of course (a little on the nose would be an understatement), because we clearly don't talk about this topic enough in the UK. Christ, it's tiring.

Donnarumma is 6ft 5in - he should be dominating his area and claiming far more crosses than he does. A fantastic shot stopper, but he's lacking in other areas. Much to improve upon.

8 goals conceded in the first 12 games of the season for #ManCity. 8 goals conceded in the 3 games since. You can talk about individual errors, but we're not defending well as a team - it's been really poor in that respect and miles away from what we have shown in previous seasons.

The finishing from both sides has been exceptional. There may be more goals in this and we've already had 7! #ManCity

No real surprises here. Ortega has essentially been frozen out after a summer move failed to materialise, whilst Trafford has every right to seek a move. I think the club have handled this one very poorly and I wouldn't blame James if he sought a permanent deal elsewhere. #ManCity

Some great quotes from Bernardo Silva over the last couple of days. That's what I expect to see from a club captain - setting the standard. He seems destined to leave at the end of the season, but I think a new contract is an absolute must, regardless of game time #ManCity

At the Etihad - they've just removed the plastic lid from my bottle of water. I'm wouldn't mind, but I would do well to hit Pascal Struijk from the third tier... the d!ck 2 rows in front of me can count himself lucky I guess. (Note, I don't condone it, except for Liverpool and Arsenal fans) #ManCity

£250k a week seems extremely unlikely. A move to Leeds also seems unlikely, though it would probably suit all parties. It's certainly time for #ManCity to move him on.

I see #ManCity fans are replacing Pep this morning. I've just seen Ange Postecoglou's name mentioned on the other app. Deary me.

Rachel Reeves. With regard to your budget, please listen to Hilary from our village. She’s married to Roger & sings soprano in the church choir. People aren’t bothered about the minimum wage or income tax. They want a return to good old fashioned Quality Street! DO SOMETHING! 😡

Arguably worse than Spurs at home earlier this season. A really poor performance from everyone, including Pep. An opportunity for 2 or 3 players to step up to prove their worth, but all they have done is show why they are not playing regularly #ManCity

Flekken has made 3 or 4 errors that #ManCity have failed to capitalise on. Sums up how bad we have been.

#ManCity have to score in the next 10 minutes, otherwise the game is beyond them.

That's a really poor goal to concede. This performance is reminiscent of last year. #ManCity

Not sure how Savinho stays on ahead of Bobb. There's clearly a reason for it, but I can't quite work it out #ManCity

Very tame from #ManCity. I'm not sure I understand what the instructions are. We're making little use of Lewis, opting to send everything down the left. There's no variation in our play and we're lacking vision - it's too predictable and easy to defend against. Changes needed.

Errmm...

Iliman Ndiaye is great to watch, just one of those players that wants to entertain. Hard to see him staying at Everton beyond the summer - I'm sure he has plenty of admirers.

Sky absolutely delighted with that win. #ManCity

Hard to see a way back into this for #ManCity. It's always hard playing against teams that sit deep defending a lead, but Newcastle are organised and have a huge presence in the box - crosses won't work and it's too congested. Our finishing has been really poor too. It'll take something special now.

Not showing the VAR check then? No? The officiating has been abysmal today. #ManCity

Probably one of the hardest away fixtures of the season this, but frustrating to be behind nonetheless. The Haaland and Foden misses have proven costly #ManCity

How on earth have Newcastle made it to the hour mark without a booking? Tonali and Joelinton especially lucky not to be carded. Not every foul requires a card, but it's been persistent #ManCity

How has Foden missed that?! #ManCity

#ManCity's back 4 can't handle the pace and intensity that Newcastle are playing with. Some more pace and a little more support from the midfield is needed. Cherki a little bit of a passenger so far, as I thought he might be against their pressure. Haaland should have put us ahead.

Watching #ManCity U18s in the Premier League Cup - an enjoyable game, and a reminder that I don't watch enough youth football these days. Teddie Lamb, City's new signing from Leyton Orient, the pick of the bunch so far (and probably this season too). One to watch this year, perhaps.

Thought I would have a little look at the Scotland game - Szymon Marciniak is probably one of the best referees in Europe at the moment, but he's had a mare giving Kristensen a second yellow for that. The penalty decision was a bit ropey too. Our wee friends have been pretty poor however.

Don't most DJ's just use an iPod anyway?

Decent player that Haaland, might have a good career you know.

What on earth is Rob Edwards doing? Swapping high-flying Boro for Wolves, who look certain to go down. I understand there's a connection with his new club, but considering the respective positions of both clubs, it just looks like a bizarre decision.

I don't expect many of my international friends to understand this, but that Asda advert can fuck off.

Delicious from Doku #ManCity

Eventful. We have played some exceptional football so far and deserve the lead. A 3rd goal early in the 2nd half would be huge - I don't think there would be any way back for them after that. #ManCity

That's a rubbish penalty from Haaland #ManCity

I don't know why, but I remain amazed at the number of guys in the UK who thinks that dousing themselves in cheap aftershave will cover up the stench of the 2 joints they smoked on their way to work in the morning. Some advice lads, it doesn't fucking work, so give it a rest, yeah.

I've just seen a brief video of the clash between Lookman and Juric. Hard to believe the forward is still at Atalanta given the treatment he has received. What's harder to believe is that Ivan Juric is in charge of Atalanta - how on earth did he land that gig? He's such a poor coach.

González, Doku and Foden have been exceptional so far tonight. Absolutely brilliant to watch #ManCity

They've chosen a bangin' tune for this year's John Lewis Christmas Ad.

The Tommys and Reformers are politicising the John Lewis Christmas ad, do they ever have a fucking day off? In the words of Ted Hastings - Jesus, Mary and Joseph and the wee donkey, can we just move this thing along before it drives us all round the bloody bend?

The BBC and other outlets waxing lyrical about Liverpool's performance this evening - it was a decent effort, and I am under no illusions that they will pose a real threat to #ManCity at the weekend, but Real Madrid were exceptionally poor. Hardly a game for the ages, as others have suggested.

Arda Güler clearly wasting his time at Madrid knocking about with the likes Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. He could be having fun with Nico, Nico, and Rico at #ManCity, oh some other fella too, goes by the name of Haaland I think.

A good game yesterday - it was nice to see a side trying to play against #ManCity, rather than the usual turgid tactics we see from every away side at the Etihad. It made it far more interesting to watch, and Bournemouth deserve credit for their approach.

Poorly advised - his agents clearly wanted a move to a big name, and that move has now backfired. He needed to be playing regularly to develop, but this will have set him back. Divine Mukasa has certainly jumped ahead of him in the queue in my opinion.

Tidy finish from Cherki - he certainly deserves his goal #ManCity
