Mike dean is letting the game flow, giving very little either way. Sivestre deserved the yellow for pulling Tevez down. We need a creative player in that pack to change the flow of the game and push the ball to Bellers and AJ.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

But he's more active than NDJ and Barry put together even though he's older (than the two together).

0-0 at half time.

I hope we go for it more in the second half.

No idea how Vieira did not get booked there. But then again I also do not understand why Diaby is not in the book yet. 4 times he has commited petulant fouls on City players now, just dragging them to the floor.

The game is terrible, Mancini seems to be playing for the draw, hoping to sting Arsenal on the counter.

I just know this is going to backfire and we will lose.

yep - we need to take this to their defence and put some real pressure on. for once the arse don't look solid in defence and we have the skills to open them up.

Not a bad half, was always going to be tough at Arse. He's obviously trying to hit them on the break but Tevez has been shocking, just isn't releasing the ball earlier enough. Come on Tev!!

Kompany has been immense too. What a player that guy is.

a shocking number of misplaced or underhit passes.
And if our midfielders backed up closer to our defence we'd have a NINE man line!!!

Mancini needs to show some bottle
And put Ade on, to hell with Whinger and that sly Van Persie and all those Gooner 'fans'!

He can't do it on his own, we need Ade on.

Johnson fading again.

He's a talented lad but he really needs to work on his stamina.

Midfield is way too tight. Pretty boring game.

a draw is fuck all use to us, means we have to beat spurs, least if we have a go and lose it still leaves us in same predicament ie we have to beat spurs at home.

Dont get me wrong nothing wrong with nil nil against arsenal in general but this is a team severely lacking in confidence, missing 10 1st team players and there best player is only half fit and 2 grandads centre back, were playing into there hands at the mo.
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In all fairness to him though he has made a lot of bursting runs but the passes to him are mostly shit.
