If Vardy wasn't so over the hill they could have won this.

As it is The Cheats seem to think they're "back".

Yeah, I'm sure the tax gets refunded to a nice little NBAD account.

Manchester City looked like their old selves as they recorded the biggest Premier League win of the season by thrashing struggling Ipswich at Portman Road to move back into the top four.
After letting slip a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Brentford in their last league outing, Pep Guardiola's side returned to winning ways in emphatic fashion.
Phil Foden was particularly excellent as he scored twice and assisted another of the six goals, with his double coming in the first half.
The England forward got his first goal of the game when he deftly controlled Kevin de Bruyne's 28th-minute cross inside the box before sweeping the ball in.
City added another just three minutes later through Mateo Kovacic's crisp strike from the edge of the box, with Foden providing the assist, before he grabbed a third two minutes before the break.
De Bruyne was again the provider as he picked out Foden inside the box and his low shot squirmed under Christian Walton and into the net.
Manchester City endured a dreadful run of form towards the end of last year and their players looked determined to remind doubters of their ability with a high-scoring win.
Jeremy Doku got their fourth goal shortly after the break, darting into the box before his low drive was deflected into the net, and Erling Haaland - fresh from signing a new nine-and-a-half-year deal at the club - made it 5-0 just before the hour mark, driving in from Doku's pass after an Ipswich mistake at the back.
Substitute James McAtee rounded off the resounding victory with a delightful looping header from Kovacic's cross.
The victory means Manchester City are fourth on 38 points, while Ipswich remain in the bottom three with 16 points.

Erling Haaland has signed a new nine-and-a-half year contract to remain at Manchester City!

Apparently Haaland will be paid £500,000-a-week for the next decade. For those who aren't so good at maths, that will be £240m over the next ten years. I'd sign up for that!

[Joe 90]

Sponsorship deals will take it to over a billion, he will probably suppase Ronaldo and Beckham as the richest footballer of all time.

So would I Nev , but could we deliver a Haaland hatric?

Neither of those are the richest footballer of all time and he won't get near it.

£260M if its a decade

Champions League: Man City & Real Madrid fighting for their lives - BBC Sport

Surprising that you didn't c&p it, and pretend you just casually came up with it.

That's always convincing.

Somewhat remarkably it’s the fourth time in four seasons that City and the 15-times European champions have locked horns in the Champions League.
Real edged a dramatic semi-final win 6-5 on aggregate in May 2022 and also overcame Guardiola’s side 4-3 on penalties last season at the quarter-final stage after the sides had fought out a dramatic 4-4 draw over the two legs.
In-between, however, City recorded a famous 5-1 semi-final aggregate win in 2023 en-route to a historic Treble.
And further looking ahead, the boss acknowledged what has developed into a special rivalry between the two sides.

[harrybarracuda]

Advantage Galacticash.

Ironic that the two biggest financial cheats in the game should be facing off in such desperate circumstances really.

[cyrille]

So, one more trophy City won't be prancing around Europe photographing this summer.

Can't beat travelling light.

[hallelujah]

Cracking game.

Not least for seeing Madrid cut through City like a knife through butter time and time again.

A more than deserved victory and set up perfectamente for them to do just the same again against Pep's octogenarians in Madrid next week.

[harrybarracuda]

blah blah something about Aguero chopping his bollocks off.

You really would be a good match with PB.

But only after enforced sterilisation.
