Bit harsh on Tevez who had an absolutely thankless task stuck up there on his own all night. There were several occassions when he had to occupy 5 or 6 Arsenal players while he waited for one of our players to come up to support him and most of the time he managed to hold onto it and find his man.

Thought Barry, Milner (although he did a lot of defensive work well) and Jo were our worst performers on the night.

Kolo man of the match for me although a case could be put forward for any of the back 5.

agree, but what I was trying to say is that he's great at playing himself out of difficult situations and he brings something going forward as well. The lad's got a good footballing brain, is a good passer of the ball, and can put a decent cross in. Now, when he's polished away the rough edges from his game (read the rash challanges),he's turned into a top class player. He'snot the fastest guy on the pitch, but he makes up for it by reading the game well and putting in 110% all the time,every time.

Went for Zabba, whole back four were rock solid.

I thought they all played well (Jo included on the whole) but Tevez seemed a little outof sorts mentally, making some strange decisions at times.

Great to see Fabregas whining to Mancini at the end after trying to ref the game as per, the little snide.

The same as Gareth Barry was booked for; a non-foul. It is hard to win a match when you can only win the ball with interceptions because you are not allowed to tackle.

Kolo or Vinny MotM for me. Both were totally in control.

I thought Joe Hart's save from van wankbag was good but not special. I think he'd have been very disappointed had he let that in. Can't fault the lad though as he did everything asked of him comfortably.

Typical Italian way of playing.


if i could put my entire 12 inch black penis in your butthole i would consider doing that if your entire family could watch me do it. Asshat.

Vinnie for me, but you won't be marked wrong if you said Kolo or Mad Frank.

I thought it was a good performance from the entire back 4 and Hart. Milner was a little challenging...and could have won us the match with a little more patience in the 2nd minute, but Barry was better, although the whole midfield was wank in possession...it was not impressive in the first half.

A point's a point...so, here's to fucking Arsenal. They are a bunch of dirty, whiny, cheating cunts. End of. Felt like the Dutch vs Spain all over again, and i am defo a fan of the Oranje.

Kolo, by a short head (butt) from Zaba-daba-doo!
And considering he received a yellow card with more than fifty minutes remaining, Nigel's was another particularly impressive display.And how could anybody describe Carlito as a mercenary with the kind of shift he put in tonight.
How many miles did he run, anyhow?

Unfortunately he was booked for killing Ben Arfa and for generally just being NDJ. Ridiculous booking.

Mad Zabba for me hands down, he nullified the threat from Walcott when i thought he would be pulled apart by his pace but he proved me wrong. His positional play and his complete awareness of where his man was at all times was exemplary. The sending off was a complete disgrace.

Todays match was a proof of Joleon has nothing to do on the field when Kolo's fit... excellent performance


Eh? What a crazy statement - Lescott has perfomed extremely well in the last few games he's played????!

Kompany for me, solid as a rock, always in the right position and never got dragged away by the multitude of Arsenal runners off the ball.

I really don't understand this anti Joleon business. He's done well when he has come in.
Anyway. Mad Frank was splendid last night. He would never have been my first choice full back but both him and Micah have really upped their games.
Beyond that there was a lot of giving the ball away.
City and sniffing knickers.
Come on Blues.
