some game, eh?!!

I know Aguero was awesome and all but really buzzing for Dzeko. Proper centerforward play all game.

def one for Dvd collection this.

Agreed. Chuffed for Edin. Some his link up play was top drawer tonight and his touch was as good as I've seen it.

Can someone describe the 4th goal?
I was driving to work and missed it...

He was round 25.30 yards out from goal and hit it with spin and it sort of went up but not too high then span downwards into the bottom corner...The technique was superb no keeper could of saved it.

Thanks guys. Smiling at work now!

I thought he was utter pants for 20 mins then his reaction speed suddenly got up to Premier League level & rather than being someone you expected to lose the ball, became someone you were pleased to see on it. His goal was well deserved.

Swansea were ideal opponents. They were passing the ball just as well & as quickly as the rags did at Wembley & we were just as rusty but after 90 mins watching Utd pass the ball & 20 mins watching Swansea, it kicked our whole team into gear & suddenly we were pressing, passing & dangerous.

I've never been so confident about a signing as I was about Aguero & he didn't let me down. That's the best debut since Trevor Francis. In the flesh, he is electric. The cross Micah put in for his goal though, was as good as Ryan Giggs. Could it be that we've learned at last?
Micah tonight was the best fullback in the country.

Just a mention for the 3-5-2. SWP was superb at that job & is well worth a try.

I was driving to work and missed it...

He was about 45 yards from goal with 3 opposition players around him. He takes a touch which somehow gets him clear. He shoots from 40 yards. The ball looks like it's going into the top right hand corner, but it swerves and goes into the left leaving everyone speechless.
And that is exactly how it happenned.

You're forgetting he was also riding a unicycle at the time.

My 9 year old son said "Amazing" when Kun scored his second and i just said your not wrong son.

[Beefymcfc]

Just got in and... oh dear. Seems we're pretty toothless. I'll see who's playing.

Just reading through the thread and this made me laugh.

Cheers Guv. And yes, I know you just walked in ;-)

two things...just posted something similar about Micah in the thread beefy started about the 18 steps to the first bit of Kun-ilingous. He just is the best RB in the country on form over the last 6 months, isn't he? loved that cross...just loved it. Made it look so so easy, when we're known for a cock up in that sitch lately.

also, was it 3-5-2 at the end? i was curious....but the last bit of the match was interrupted by a work call from my boss, so i had to listen and watch with one eye on the television which wasnt' as easy as it sounds. You should have seen me lose my mind with the phone on mute when Kun scored the 2nd....edgy stuff.

Lucky they don't take after him!

[Beefymcfc]

Why the fuck do they try to make Mancini look a twat (although he looked quite tidy) by putting headphones on and asking questions from 100's of miles away?

This is Sky for fuck sake. Would this happen with the likes of Ubited (yes I fucking did), Chavs, Dippers or the Arse?

If it wasn't known to be in existence, then hopefully the Rag fuckers will understand now.

[BoltFromTheBlue]

Aguero....I love that man, alot.

Anyway, did anyone else think the other Sky guy was really trying to piss Neville off by making him say how amazing Aguero's second was?

I'm still randomly smiling after that match.

I'm still randomly watching it and smiling mate. Onto my 3rd viewing.

[dazby]

I just checked the highlights again (cue more smiling) and Superjaw had made a brilliant run into space just as Kun cracks the 4th. Right in front of Kun too.
