All the City players were brilliant. The press in the second half was quite something. Interesting that walker played deeper than usual with Mahrez tracking further back on the right. It's one of those games where you wish you were there just to see how the whole City team were set up and how they moved from defense to attack.

The Challenge Criteriums I've just replaced were delaminating. They were ancient so to be expected. I really like them as they ride much better than the more techno German and French brands and they are cheaper than the Veloflex and Vittoria 320tpi alternatives. I've had no issues with punctures.
Edit to add.. 23s as should be fitted to road bikes

Poots
*On creationism
- “My view on the earth is that it’s a young Earth. My view is that 4000BC” - Poots speaking toThe Times’ Matthew Parris in 2007.
On the Big Bang
“You’re telling me that cosmic balls of dust gathered and there was an explosion? We’ve had lots of explosions in Northern Ireland and I’ve never seen anything come out of it that was good.” - Poots speaking to The Radio Times.
On Arlene Foster’s election as leader
- “Her most important job is wife, mother and daughter” - Poots speaking to the Northern Irish Assembly, in January 2016.
On blood donations
- “I think that people who engage in high-risk sexual behaviour, in general, should be excluded from giving blood... And so someone who has sex with somebody in Africa or sex with prostitutes, I am very reluctant about those people being able to give blood.” - Speaking on the Sunday Politics in 2012.
On a gay rugby team:
- “It would be unacceptable to produce an all-black rugby team or an all-white team or an all-Chinese team. To me, it’s equally unacceptable to produce an all-homosexual rugby team and I find it remarkable that people who talk so much about inclusivity and about having an equal role in society would then go down the route of exclusion” - Poots speaking to the Belfast Times in 2008.
On same-sex couples adopting a child:
- “The natural order - whether one believes in God in evolution - is for a man and a woman to have a child and therefore that has made my views on adoption very clear and on raising children very clear, that it should be a man and a woman that raises a child.” Poots speaking in Stormont in 2013.*
- “My view on the earth is that it’s a young Earth. My view is that 4000BC” - Poots speaking toThe Times’ Matthew Parris in 2007.
