I hope that the dead-head thug who took a swing at Bradley

... saw them both play tonight. He must feel very small right now.

Orr was up against an England international and forced him over to the right side of the pitch to get sight of the ball. Bradley was outstanding and used the ball very well, seldom giving it away.

Johnson was exceptional and really bossed the midfield. Like others, I have been sceptical about whether both Johnson and Noble can play in the same starting line-up - until a change is made to the laws to allow a second ball on the pitch - but they certainly worked well tonight in that formation.

The lout will, I hope, be embarrassed to show his face at a City match ever again - hopefully, the decision of whether he can or not will be taken for him by the Club, once he's identified, named and shamed.
