****official thanks joey vs city thread******

[Jon London]

Why did we not start with Kolo? Apparently we want him out the club. Kolo is for me a legend and should start. Yes against Bayern he was at fault butit was his first game back after 6 months. Give the guy a break. If Kolo had been playing we would have won 3-0 no question.
I love Roberto but handling of Kolo at the moment big mistake.

[Green & Blue]

p.s never watching anything on espn again fucking hate the commentators

Awful but not a patch on the sore twats on setanta.The bias against City on setanta really is beyond belief.

[blues2win]

Let's face it we're fucking spoiled. 31 points out of 33 is fucking amazing.

[Jon London]

I thought Chris Twaddle was OK. Its that prick Ray "Blue Nose" Stubbs who I cannot stand. Absolute twat. The only comment he made about the league table was if Everton win their game in hand - against the Spuds away by the way - they will be in the top half.
I am not joking I am phoning up ESPN tonight and asking if I can be anchor man next week if I have to listen to that shite again.

[The Original Special One]

Claassic Warnock shot at the break: I take it he wasn't protesting about the free they got for their first goal, though!

[Original Dub]

Thank Christ for that.

Another question answered. We can come from behind in the league and win also. Another string to our bow following the stomping of united the last min winner against villareal.

We're starting look like champions.

I never thought Champion could be so biased: was he wearing his MUTV cheerleaders outfit?

Savic was poor, but as KK said, it would have harmed his self-confidence if Mancini hauled him off
Its all part of the learning experience

His commitment has been questionable for some time, c/w an association with a certain bent agent. NDJ also has dealings with the same, and I believe that Roberto Mancini questions the commitment of players who associate themselves with scumbags.

Oh jesus Carl, think about it.

Better results in terms of goals scored etc, however we came from behind, we fought it out to the end as did QPR and we won, we only got challenged once in the league like this prior to today and we drew.

Play well and win, any old cunt can do that. Play badly and win, fucking champions do that.

I know exactly what he meant...I just like to fuck with people. ;)

On a side note..I have now finished analyzing Lescotts performance..he was as bad as Richards and Savic.

[Lev Bronstein]

Can someone explain to me why their second goal was allowed.

[carl_feedthegoat]

Because Savic kept them onside .

[Green in blue]

Jesus. Nervy as fuck that was. Good atmosphere. Played poorly and won. Adam Johnson needs to sort his head out. Pointless sub in the end. Dissappointed with balo no recognition of the travelling support. Great to see Joe really celebrating. Some really school boy defending. Off to get steamboats

I agree with Doug. Came from behind, and fought for every lead we took. Battled to the end while playing away and topped it off with a superb Yaya goal. A lesser team would have given the other teams a chance to catchup, but we prevailed. 3 pts is all that matters

I completely agree, but it is still the SECOND best result this season!

I think when you get past the age of "everything not working" you tend to forget little results like the 6 -1 Historic, record breaking result we had.

W3RD UP

The one six massacre of scum will be one of the greatest moments of our generation, seriously, we may never see the likes again. Added a great note to every bacon face tribute today... As priceless as the Munich 50 up and we're still sponging game.


Today was special because we met a team playing out their socks, and we were mediocre, and that's what wins titles, but we need to see this stuff once a month....

It's not the lobster thermeodor, it's the spam sandwich that won the Somme

Savic was playing him on side, when the ball hit helgusson Savic was still on the pitch

Suppose your right, it looked well dodgy to me - still, I haven;t had a beer yet.

[carl_feedthegoat]

The defense was all over the place today.. no one could handle that right hand side, Richards especially and I cannot understand why not as he can out jump most on a football pitch.

[Crossie]

Great win that, QPR should be ok this season.

Kolo, I've never felt 100% happy with him, I think Lescott should start ahead of him when everyone's available.

Richards was very poor: perhaps it was rustiness, or the captaincy going to his head.
But everybody's entitled to one off day; even Silva was rusty during that first half
