Blackburn v Rags

[Beefymcfc]

One last thing before i go.

I've watched the game with one eye, with the tv on mute so from time to time i took a peak on what's happening. One important aspect caught my attention. Watch when you have time, their reaction at the goals, both players and fans. That is a reaction of a frustrated team, that took an atomic bomb at that 1-6 and wants to do something to erase it. They are talking over and over about us, they tried and succeded on bringing us down for the moment, with their entire FA, but still this isn't enough.

At this moment it really doesn''t mather that much if we will win it or no, but the main thing is that it's almost obvious that they are losing it and it will be just a mather of time untill we will win it all.
If our pattern continues, this experience from this season will bring us many silverware in the next years.

Keep faith and fuck them over in the derby to see again how frustrated they are.

Nice post Spidey, my sentiments exactly.

[bluebananamilksheikh]

then City will beat Arsenal

This is where your scenario falls a bit flat.

Would love to see it but lets be honest, it wont happen.

Why? Arsenal play open football and we will find space to renew our spark. It will be though and Arsene will have them to play for their life but [highlight]our Lads won't miss motivation.[/highlight]

Unlike Swansea, Stoke and Sunderland ?

perhaps I'm naive but I continue to repeat that for a team that is still building a true winning mentality is far easier to be fully focused and motivated against big names.
and to say it all I'm more concerned of say WBA

Yes, but when we were playing Swansea, Stoke & Sunderland a win would have meant to win the league was still in our own hands, now we are clutching at straws hoping the rags will slip up.
Why would they be more motivated against Arsenal now?

Yeah, cos I'd be suicidal if we'd lost both derbies and won the league. The bragging rights would definitely be with the rags in that case.

This is as depressing as The Keegan era, even though were 2nd.

But it would still be nice to dick them again and say that we're the better team when goin head to head with them, rather than the spinless shit in our league that has bottled it and handed it to them..I knew they would win today, it was only a matter of time before they scored. Fooking more crap management not havin what it takes to change things. Im just at the point where I cant help but hope that its still game on by the time they come to our gaff.

I dont watch the rags much, but lately I have felt the need to in hope that they slip up. As stated earlier, everything seems to come from the flanks from them!! Why isnt this delt with!!

I wish I could tell these players what sort of shit I have to take everytime they fook up and let the rags creep ahead. Its ok for you Mancs, you have fellow blues by your sides. I have to put up with packs of these 'never been,trophy chassing fookers' on my tod. Its become worse now every crap fan of other clubs( and theres fookin loads where I live) has suddenly become a closet rag and also give it the gob. I just want to be able to throw it back in their faces, how fookin good would that feel !!!! the players ent helping me out much at all. I wish they could really see what it means to us and what we have been through..

The double over the rags and goin straight in to the group stages isnt a bad season. I just feel we're the better side but have just stupidly thrown it away. Thats the hard part.. But on the other hand, it ent over yet.

What can we say...its tough at the top

I think Mancini totally fucked up with his tactics tonight. If he wanted a draw he should have selected a side that he knew could earn a draw instead of losing 2-nil. Mancini out!!!!

[Swales4ever]

Yes, but when we were playing Swansea, Stoke & Sunderland a win would have meant to win the league was still in our own hands, now we are clutching at straws hoping the rags will slip up.
Why would they be more motivated against Arsenal now?

because a) it's the very last chance to stay in the run and the Lads are as pissed as the Fans; b) Arse are a top team and club, for what it may seems weird it makes focus and motivation self-building.

Plus let me stress the point that: Sunderland parked the bus and cleverly went for the counter (hat off to MoN); Stoke parked the bus and were allowed to bully our players plus Pulis set a wise game plan (see that piece of Ratface good punditry posted here around). Swansea played a game plan specular to our passing game by pressing high and closing down all spaces in about 20 yards: that in a way very much stifled our already feeble passing game. I would add a certain dose of "unconscious arrogance" in the approach of both Swans and BC.
dont get me fool, I'm aware that we are underdog now and need some good omen, but it's not over yet. It will if I am mistaken about sunday.

I still badly missing whatever You fill in that pipe, since saturday nite.

[Dazzacity]

I actually think Arsenal will be one of our easier games !! they will come at us rather than parking the bus and frustrating us. They will let us play our free flow passing game. Im fearing Norwich away and Newcastle away tbh.

[Ted Hughes]

Utd brought on 3 subs tonight. Blackburn brought on none.

Exactly. What the fuck was Mancini thinking? Poor tactics IMHO.

[MR IMAINEROAD]

Guys the whole point of watching football is you never know what's going to happen next. That's why we're City supporters. If we wanted a boring script with no twists and turns and the same predictable ending all the time then we'd watch the scum.

Life's too short for boring.

If I could smush my ballsack into your mouth right now I would.

I heard from a club insider that mancini is too soft with his players letting them have too much time off and not doing enough training and tactics (doug?). Hes had enough of certain players at the club and will be offloaded in the summer,

Problem is you have mentioned 3 games there where mancini should have changed tactics within the games but didnt!!! Otherwise we would have secured more points

[mr_nool]

Pressure is off now. We have nothing to lose now and hopefully that will make us relax and snap out of what ever horrible spell of form we've been. It wouldn't surprise me if we win all remaining games. And who knows, it just might be enough.

[King Kev]

We lost against Swansea,Sunderland,Chelsea,Everton,and drew vs Liverpool, Fulham,Sunderland,Stoke

Not good enough

If we had lost to City, Blackburn & Newcastle and drawn with Stoke, Liverpool, Chelsea & Newcastle, would that be good enough?

Do you know, looking at Brad's post, it's actually been quite an amazing season, even taking into account our poor form. Only 4 away losses (by only one goal and a few errant refereeing performances), 4 away draws and 1 home is good going for any club. The problem has been United and their form.

That's 7 wins on the trot isn't it, 10 wins and one draw (3-3 comeback against Chelsea) since losing back-to-back games against Blackburn and Sunderland. So, out of 33 points they've dropped only 2 points - that is unbelieveable form.

Such a pity we didn't get the wingers that Mancini was talking about (Alexis Sanchez was one wasn't he?) as Valencia for me has been the difference between a good team and a possible league winning team. With a player like him I'm sure we'd still be ahead of the Rags, even in their current form.

what has to do with tactics when players let in 3 at home vs Sunderland, including one header from nowhere land in fergie time, while having the best striker and most on form attaching midfielder injured?
What has to with tactics the combination of potters' elblowings and Webb on Lord's service.
I concede that on Wales, at least starting Savic has been a criminal offence.
While I respect your vision of football, the points dropped after Christmas have nothing to do with the manager not playing 4-4-2 with 2 wingers paced as hell, but with the lack of Silva form that cut off the light of our attacking set up. when David cant sprint in the last 10 yards off the box our set up run out of steams as would Barca's without Messi sprints. that also have hugely amplified the lack of accuracy all our strikers have been on for the whole season (including when scoring shitloads).

once pointed that, I don't what to defend Mancini against the odds.... so fuck off Mankini... You bottled it!
