City won a short pants foo’ball game yesterday. In style at Etihad. Riyad Mahrez did the hat trick with net rattlers in the 6’, 22’, and 69’; Ben-Men had one in the 41’ and Ferran Torres got one in the 66’. City “up” to eighth in the table, Burnley are in the drop.

‘Pool are first. They drew at Brighton yesterday. I admire Jurgen Klopp for taking every opportunity to criticize the league and broadcasters over the schedule. EPL clubs play a lotta matches and the schedule is more compressed with COVID restrictions. The result is injuries. ‘Pool had another one yesterday, Jimbo Milner. Ex-City lad, Jimbo. Everytime Jurgen does his post-match he mentions it to the network interviewer and he did yesterday. “Yeah, congratulations” he said to Sky’s guy when asked about the Milner injury.
