Official Match Thread: City v Stoke

[Good Times]

Barry's either extremely slow or has a peculiar running style. Always looks odd to me.

Bellers to come on. Mancini looks like he gets them well prepared before making the sub

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Sylvihio off Richards on, has the silver haired one got a injury?,

He playes the third in a row, look at his age...... :-)

HAHA

The man must be exhausted. Three to five weeks to recover. And that's not bad for 67 yearsold.

[Crossie]

Barry has a groin injury and needs an operation, that is why he runs weird.

Personally i think he has been great today.

Barry has been very busy, not always to great effect but he was in the right place to win the header for Tevez goal

[Manx Blue]

good to see Mancini hug Bellers before he appeared

Me too.

I like it mate. Looks like he lets them know in no uncertain circumstances what he wants from them instead of usual "go and give us a goal, son".

Fully agree. One of his better games for us so far.

[Nigels Tackle]

Stoke are going to come back and win this according to Phil Thompson.... All them apparently....

[Good Times]

Great cross from Barry. Pity there wasn't any height in the six yard box.

Yup, he looked to spend a good five minutes talking with Bellers before making the sub. Come on Craig give the man a goal :-)

I HOPE HE DROPS DEAD IN THE N3EXT MINITE THE BIAS PIECE OF BINDIPPING SHITE.

[Patrick]

beattie is getting slower with his dives

Yeah, the cheating prick.

[Good Times]

Barry is definitely on the MOTM shortlist

[TomS]

looks like the time on the bench gave Micah something to think about.....

[The Original Special One]

Micah Richards prevents a cross being put in: things are REALLY looking up!

Haha. Spot fucking on.

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

Can't believe that was not penalty. Shocking.
