** Official Match Thread: Newcastle Away **

[DelaBlue]

Will you all get of Baloteilli back, bad enough refs giving him hard time.

What did AJ get booked for??

He smiled and (sorta) blew a kiss at a Newcastle played who shoved him in the chest. Apparently not rising to the bait was considered provocative behaviour itself, absolutely shocking refereeing.

Dreadful performance, he gave them a freekick that Joey almost scored from, when Lescott was backed into by Ranger. I think the fat Cock-er-nay spent a little of his winnings (from betting on the next Prem manager to be sacked just before handing Hughton his P45) on buying the ref. ALLEGEDLY.

Any idea what was Tevez on about with his dummy ??

He was spitting the dummy out. Implying that he's a baby.

On a serious note, it was a tribute to his son (as most of his celebrations are).

[Florida Blue]

Team news is in: Hart, Boetang, Kompany, Lescott, Kolarov, De Jong, Barry, Yaya, Milner, David Silva, Tevez

Would have preferred Jo or Balotelli instead of one of the midfielders

Am i right in seeing this is not on TV anywhere in the States? Ill have to LOLFooty it then i guess.

That team should have plenty to offer for the points. hope Milner is playing a central role. It's a crowded City midfield but im good with that lineup.

Cheers

On FSC Mike...

Better than I could've envisaged. Battled it out and scored some piceless goals.

What position we in ;-)

[Blue in the face]

Why was Tevez subbed late on again? And whats the point?

[the_georgian_genius]

Job done, awesome.

Im getting worried Balotelli is going to become the laughing stock of the league. He is in the lime light now with his award and high profile start to his career in the EPL.

The press will turn 6 goals in 11 games into not scored for 7 games tomorrow.

he is a cock and a joker on the pitch tho right now. I really hate seeing him in a City shirt as it stands. I'm sick of the fouls and the falling down and the garbage. He needs less talk, and more rock.

cheers

I don't think Balotelli gives a fuck if you or anyone else thinks he is a laughing stock when quite frankly he isn't. He will soon prove all the OTT sensationalist morons wrong.

Thanks.

To give time to other players and to get more milage out of him. We have some very tough fixtures coming up.

I don't get it. He was on a hat trick, and he was only saved running for about 7-8 minutes.

[CitizenYank]

Balotelli has to get his yellow card!!! Of course!!!

Ok, I get it now. You win the prize (a turkey).

To me, it was just Mancini making his poinyt again, this time Tevez took it well ... it may have even been a PR stunt

I actually completely disagree with that. I don't think Mancini is that petty. We were 3-1 up and the game was wrapped up. Get Tevez off and give Balotelli a run-out. Tevez had a great game and he'd done his job - I'm happy for him to have done his job and get prepared for the game in a couple of days.

We've had a great 3-1 away and will annihilate Villa and Blackpool in the next 2 games. Let's enjoy the fact we'll be top of the league in 2 games time and not over-analyse insigificant incidents ;-)

That's entirely a your problem only, mate.
Also that's why you're not half of a football manager, nor a quarter of a ronk! ... :-)
