Great result just what the DR ordered Same again at the weekend please CITY ,

dzeko needs that goal

Yes, he does; games as well. On the plus side he was better tonight than against Sunderland and he did seem to man up a bit when he had that little spat with [strike]skrtel[/strike] mekon. One slight thing I notice is that he can be a bit too nice. For me he needs to be a more of a hard, nasty bastard.

dzeko needs that goal

dzeko needs to CONCENTRATE on his game and that goal will come

What I love about games like this, is with 10 men and theref against us we still win 3 nil. everyone wants us to fuck up, they wait for it to happen, I don't think anyone wants us to win the league, so when if and when we do I will laugh my cock off. Well done lads great show tonight..

Couldn't agree more except I hope you stop laughing before your cock actually falls off, mate.

Just saying...looking forward to seeing the tunnel cam and the arrival of the celebratory pizza at the end.

Former Liverpool and Manchester City striker Robbie Fowler on Twitter: "Struggling to find any positives tonight... The fact City have gone 3 pts clear of Man U is the only one I can think of."

United next, we have to fancy our chances. Same team anyone?

Becasue of that nice, highly competent and thoroughly honest mr. jones, we can't. Gaz Barry is the new target, it seems. The new Pablo Zabaleta, if you will.

Oh shit true! Milner in midfield, nasri further up.

[Trautmann]

Eeeez back to normal.

Eccentric ref that. Seems to have missed the training lesson on consistency in decision making.

I thought Dzeco would be sent off for an apparent headbutt, so at least that one went our way.

Even with 10 men we bossed them, Life is, once more, sweet.

Don`t see Newcastle holding Utd.

[Mike J]

actually gutted barry is out of the utd game. become one of our most important players imo.

[london blue 2]

Best thing is win, lose or draw united have to go all out. Best team... Come on Newcastle, a few injuries and a last minute winner please!

I never thought I'd feel this positive after the Sunderland result.

[usedtothespin]

Good solid win, good line up too. Would only put Balotelli in for Dzeko when he's fit again.

Great to see Vinny play this well too.

A bizarre coincidence. If you asked that baconfaced cocksucker who he wanted out of the City team to give his rabble half a chance of controlling our midfield, he would (hypothetically of course because clearly this would never EVER happen) say Gaz Barry. Truly remarkable.

[ashton287]

Beating these and soundly is good but my favourite part of tonight has to be joe hart doing the 'calm down'.

Funny as fuck.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

With Balotelli out Dzeko needs to step it up big time. Poor tonight and all people around me thought the same. Simply can not trap a ball. Some good link up play but that first touch was apalling.

[Beeks]

What a great game..thought we really played well

First half was pretty even despite us going 2-0 up

Second half we owned it

Clichy was fucking amazing..Vin an absolute rock..Milner was a machine

Blatant hand ball penalty not given

How Charlie Adam didn't get a booking is beyond me?'

Barry was the softest sending off I've ever seen but even with ten men we were comfortable

Only minuses..Silva faded and Dzeko never started

Aguero looked tired too

[Beeks]

Oh and was it a penalty? Was on the other side of the ground?

On the way home talkshite said it was soft?
