      Who’s the ref tonight? I’m just hoping it’s nobody like Martin Manuel ‘I saw a-nothing’ Atkinson – I’m also hoping that all our ‘on the wrong end of controversial officiating decisions’ have been used up over the last three games – and, you never know, one might actually go our way – stranger things have hapened

        Maybe not the best weather for celebrations anyway – but strange game, to say the least – City will play worse than this and still win handsomely – of concern was the profligacy in front of goal (City should have been 5-0 at HT and the game won); this may be compared to Utd, who were clinical – of equal concern were the lapses in defence which handed the opportunities to Pogba et al in the first place. As for the penalty, it is impossible to claim it wasn’t – but there again, we’re talking about Martin Atkinson – as soon as I saw that he was officiating, a sense of ensuing dread and impending controversy followed – and, needless to say, he didn’t disappoint – this unfathomable decision is just another in a litany of controversial decisions against City – maybe, when he retires, he’ll admit to being a closet Rag all along.
        All this, of course, is a moot point – the title will be won but we’ll have to wait – this being City, did anybody really think it was going to be done and dusted with six games to go?
