[PALUS]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[ruralblue]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PALUS]

Nasri play great this game , Silva its litlle like not hes day until now

[DoomMerchant]

clinical.

so glad he hasn't fucked off from this club. Let's open this up now and steal another before HT.

[Moonchesteri]

Yes! Get in there!

[PeterParker]

Nasri is the number one penalty taker when he plays for France.

This. Nasri was the obvious choice. Silva should have been the last choice. FFS even Hart would have done better.

i honestly can't remember seeing a worse penalty. im sure my 6 year old would have stopped that.

Tevez with Wigan last year. Worst penalty ever.

[blues-clues]

Four mins extra time. Still time for two! Come on city !

[Moonchesteri]

Tevez with Wigan last year. Worst penalty ever.

That was shit but I think this one was even worse

[ruralblue]

Could have had three by now! Get another in now and I feel a goal fest coming on!

[Nigels Tackle]

liking what i've seen jr so far....

[DoomMerchant]

Could have had three by now! Get another in now and I feel a goal fest coming on!

and if we don't i feel a cheeky 1-1 draw. ;)

Joleon OG in the 93rd min

[mr_nool]

Love how we put them under pressure the last part of the half. A couple of more five minute bursts like that and we will break them completely in the second half.

[bigblue]

Please kun be ok. Great possession though

[Dameerto]

I love it when we look ominous.

[ruralblue]

Nerves settled a little bit now! Silva looks a yard off pace and not sharp another couple of weeks before he's firing on all cylinders me thinks!, hope Serg isn't anything too bad but fear it may be. Nasri looks good, Rodwell had a decent start and i'm off for a quicck wank over some photos of Tevez before the second half!

[Risby]

I hope they tell us he's been walking round the dressing room and chose to take him off as a precaution.

[Slim]

Haven't expected him to do more than play the simple game, get a feel for the team. He's done okay, nice sliding tackle early on.

[kinkylola]

like rodwell puttig himself about so far ... and I also like that if he is anywhere near yaya, he gives it to him straight away. Good lad.

[chips]

Im actually shitting it about Aguero. I want him to be ok but no one has said anything!

[DoomMerchant]

liking what i've seen jr so far....

Junior?

Some nice play. Rodwell looks solid, nothing fancy, doing a job. Couple defensive moments where our CBs looked like they knew they were playing a newly promoted side, and acted like it, but then found their legs.

Great movement at times. Nothing more to add about the pen or Silva's play. It's been poor.

Nasri and Clichy in good form. TYY a little off things. Cue someone to blame it on fucking ramadan please.

Dzeko est a Dzonkey, as we know. Why him instead of Balo? i dunno. My fave part was when he played the back and forth from the throw in and Clichy hit him with the ball. That looked world class.

What else? i dunno. Bobby looks Dapper. Potato head same as ever.

Hart seems fine in goal, but let's wait and see when he has to dive or stretch for something. I'm not convinced he's 100% tbh.

Reasonably first half...a little rusty, a little magnificent. Let's go get the 3 pts and rack them.

So glad this season's started...
