Only saw the 2nd half but Villa dominated all over the pitch. Can’t remember a team dominating Citeh in the PL like that for many years. Unai Emery has transformed them.

Aston Villa really did muller them.
I resent the fact that they are known as City.
Would they be the “de facto” City if it wasn’t for Man Utd being the local rivals?
Have they always been the biggest club with City in their name?
Arsenal go to Villa, who haven't dropped a point at home in ages, on Saturday - another home win and I'd say Villa are title challengers even if they're nowhere near the side on their travels that they are at Villa Park.
Man City's record when Rodri doesn't play is very poor - he looks like the one player in their squad who is genuinely irreplaceable.
Steve Cooper still has the support of Forest's away support it seems, but he must be under pressure now.
No other city come close to them in sizeQuote:

Hopefully it’s a proper title race now. I can see Arsenal and Liverpool competing until the end of the season, but it would be nice if Villa don’t drop off and keep up their form.

Forest look extremely poor last night and had relegation written all over them. First time I have seen them this season, they had an almost different XI starting the game compared to when I last saw them play. Why is Cooper bringing so many players in? Not having a settled team is very much to their detriment. The way things are going he'll end up getting the sack and be back in jackland by Xmas
Speaking on occasions to other fans of ‘City’ clubs, they refer to their clubs as just ‘City’. Are we the only ones who, historically, refer to our club as ‘The City’. Non attending fans often ask me, ‘How are the City doing?’ not ‘How are City doing?’.Quote:

So in my opinion the others can be ‘City’ but we are ‘The City’ and that’s final!!! :hehe:

Seems like yesterday we totally outplayed them on our way to promotion, 3 up by half time were we? Amazing how quickly fortunes can change in football, they looked rudderless and going nowhere 5/6 years ago
Really enjoyed watching that last night. I've got to say, whatever moans people have about the prem, there have been some really entertaining matches to watch just in the last few days.

Why aren't Villa plastic?
My cousin who grew up in Cross Hands supports Villa which is pretty plastic to me. The future king does as well
Brighton born violinist, Nigel Kennedy, staunch Villa fan!!
