***Official Man City v Sunderland Match Thread***

[Bluemoon16]

Micah, don't get injured again

[simplytolmie]

What a difference energy makes... Richards has been outstanding and Milner brings a work ethic to the midfield and allows zaba to go free and not worry about cover.

[Manx Blue]

Seems Kompany was the problem in defence all along...we seem much stronger at the back without him.

You're right as always Carl. I mean, Sunderland would be able to match Borrussia stride for stride wouldn't they?

I doubt any man city fan has been nervous about our backline today....not one, whereas the last half dozen games we have been shitting it........whats the common denominator?????

Trying Three at the back and Nastasic. But it doesnt make Mancini Kompany and Nastasic bad people or shit at what they do. We needed more experience at trying it in pre-season and it didn't happen, possibly because of the Euro's and people being late back.

If it was to be tried next Summer, I think things would be different....Chin up old chap! You enjoy your Cerveza's and bacon baps this morning! :)

This ref is disgusting

[phips]

Yaya is the absolute worst at drawing penalties. he's a fucking mountain
so when he goes down he looks like an awful diver...Busquets-esque.

This ref is disgusting

I rather like him, seriously.

On a seriius note, this is what I said last week about dropping him for a game or 2 (which was laughed at by the muppetm herd)...make him sit up and get a grip with his game...this could be a blessing for us.

Vinnie was incredible last season when he had Micah on his side.

Micah - Vinnie - Lesco and Clichy are the perfect line back in football at the moment.

[Moonchesteri]

Come on now let's go for a third!!

[mr_nool]

Come on now let's go for a third!!

yeah, i'll actually be a bit disappointed if we don't score at least one more.

[phips]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! BACK 3! here comes a sunderland goal

[Mase]

Fuck off Bob!!!

[Green & Blue]

NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! BACK 3! here comes a goal

Why why why ? Will he ever learn

[Dameerto]

Handball in the box AGAIN

[PeterParker]

Kolarov really looks like he is playing dodgeball.

[Moonchesteri]

We never get these peno decisions do we?

[brite blu sky]

if we took the attitude we were 2-1 down we would score two yet!

[Green & Blue]

If it was United they would be nailed on pens

[Dameerto]

I didn't spot it 'til the replay, but he moved his hand deliberately to the ball.

[Dameerto]

Gardner finally gets a yellow (which should be his third)

[Moonchesteri]

If it was United they would be nailed on pens

Would be Against us too. Remember the one given against Micah vs Liverpool last season.
