I was under the impression Pep was suggesting letting bulls chase the two teams northwards to decide a winner as a draw was not a satisfying end to the match. 'Twould be the very first Pengeploma bull run!

Good question in seriousness Peter, I have heard contrasting opinions but it didn't seem like Pep was happy and Guaita looked uncomfortable, I'd appreciate any insight too!

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

He was looking to moan at someone in Spanish, unfortunately our keeper was chosen.

One more point

Well... I suppose it's plausible.

I don't really recall any obvious time wasting, but I was quite a nervous wreck. Regardless, I think City's lack of substitutions was more significant to their lack of goals than us using up 15, 20, 30 seconds here and there, in a game that lasted almost 100 minutes.

Going into that last ten minutes I was so worried about Sterling or whoever coming on, fresh and vibrant, and our exhausted defenders just momentarily losing their man in the tactical re-shuffle.

But it never happened.

I'm not going to put the boot in, because I have no problem with Guardiola. But perhaps he should have focused more on what he could influence... like the 11 players he had on the pitch.

We don't know for definite the words that were exchanged but it would appear that Guardiola was deeply disappointed after seeing his team fail to convert their chances and being held to a draw in a game he fully expected to win.He did not have the look of a happy hombre during his exchanges with Guaita.

You Sir are an accomplished wordsmith.
Alas, my words are nothing more than a means of getting from A to B rather than something to be enjoyed and explored.
I tip my hat.

Gracias Willo!
