what has happened to stones?? looks like joleon on the ball!

[blues2win]

Wilshere will not be coming to City. Fabinho will!

[iwasthere2012]

Well we're winning but not playing particularly well.
There's not much of s high press from us.

Hate to say it but Kun looks absolutely lost.
I thought hey be chomping at the bit but he's hiding. No movement from him at all.

Those slagging Kev off. He may be a bit quieter than usual but he's chasing down more than most out there.

Hope Pep puts a rocket up them. It needs just a bit more energy and there are goals there for us.

he aint that good!

Neville being his usual twatty self. Of course it wasn't a goal you rat-faced cunt. Who cares if the referee's whistle was late?

Sorry boys cannot have this. Doing fine. As for My mam Kun he is walking about and offering nothing, hope he makes me eat my words.

[dick dastardley]

Sky pundits concentrating on the non goal even if it was a good decision. Nowt on the sane foul typical sky bullshit

[zuricity]

How did Silva do that? he took it out of mid air with his toe while beating his man and spinnig around 180 degrees.

That's Cruff/Messi stuff. If he played in red.....

give over , i've seen it done loads of times at Belle Vue Circus

I thought they might show the Silva trap at ht.

Silly me

Bournemouth have brought a forward on to replace Wilshire, so they might try to play 4-4-2.

I'm worried about our defense for the second half; perhaps some sort of reshuffle is in order ??

[Justified logic]

re McPointy's babble, what does it mean when the linesman points his flag to the ground towards the defending team's goal line?

Does it mean a foul has been committed?

[iwasthere2012]

I think the foul on sane at least "continued inside the area".

Penalty all day long

I'll await a replay on my Spanish feed, but from what I saw Ronan, I'd have to disagree. It looked like a dive when he knew he wouldn't make it to the ball.

The only idea that makes sense to me when playing it short and to the corners is to draw out Bournemouth players, however after this happens surely the action would be either to go long to the space created or to move the ball very quickly and take advantage of 4-5 Bournemouth players being on the wrong side of the ball.

Neither of which we do. If we go long it's usually hurried and aimless because we've played ourselves into trouble. If we pass it short, the players take too many touches, run with the ball and allow themselves to be stifled and slowed in midfield.

Yaya is a bit shaky for me. Sergio and sane quiet.

Silva is so fucking underrated. It's so unfair on him. Best in prem by a margin.

[Spurge]

Wilshire out for 5 years now.

That probably wont be enough to stop us from signing him though.

You carry on , leave this alone

Same level as Xavi and Iniesta without a doubt. I wonder in 10-15 years for now, would the media speak of the Maestro how they speak about Giggs, Scholes, Pires, Henry?

I have my doubts.

Silly me

why is he crappin or trappin ?

[bigblue]

For me, Sergio's problem is that he just doesn't link up with other players quick enough or that well in general. Which especially stands out when our team is built on fast passing as a team
