Cant put into words how fookin over the bluemoon i am.What a great game lads.
No Tevez or Robson and we still dicked those cunts 4-2.
Dont ya just love bein a City fsn.
Well done Hughes

that's a great point - we didn't even have two of our top players - bellamy was immense covering, he's a great fit as a squad player. now i just hope that robbie and tevez come back strong next week, although i'm doubtful over tevez

[CitizenYank]

When they added on the four minutes, I almost felt my heart thud. Way to pull it out. Given made some amazing saves
on some real bullets.

[carolina-blue]

Really hard to picka MOTM today. Bellers, Ade, Toure are my top three. I thought de Jong looked out of place at the beginning, but he really played well. Barry was good to, and Given saved us a on numerous occasions.

Its Bellamy for me Shawnies goal was all about Bellamys work rate , Agree on Given what a buy he is proving to be , Ade great celebration for his goal , hahaha

lost my voice and over the moon, fckn hell, get in there!

WELL DONE CITY!!!! I'M SO PROUD RIGHT NOW

[Slim]

Excluding the last 10 minutes of the game (It was already over), I was so impressed with our grit and physicality out there. De Jong proved everyone right, he can sit in the hole against the big teams and push them around and get them off thier fluidity. Great watch! Time to put the smile on my face to good use, off to the bars!

Funny, what I saw was him watching the game pass him by most of the time, getting stuck in when it came near enough and tackling without ACTUALLY winning the ball. Oh yeah, let's forget the half dozen times or so when he was the reason one of our moves fell apart or when he gave them the ball and started a good arsenal attack in a very good position.

People are willing themselves into thinking we have the next Hamann, we haven't, he isn't and the one player who stands out as a different class is De Jong, even Richards is starting to look like he belongs in this side.

Reality is. We play with Barry Ireland and SWP=0 goals conceded in 360 minutes of football. Add Dejong=2 goals in 90 minutes conceded. Aren't we supposed to be MORE defensively stable with him in the side?

i don't necessarily agree with you. i think he played well today not MOTM performance but well enough i'm just trying to prevent the possibility of city fans potentially slagging off each other. Love love peace peace what an awesome day it is.

We have just put 4 goals past the gunners.Our hardest test by far and we had a weakened team.De jong aint even been playin regular and imo did a good job.Chillout Slim and celebrate one of our best wins of the season.You should be on a wanfest like the rest of us lol

And Bridge, he had another excellent game.

[Trautmann]

We have arrived .

Indeed. We looked quality out there. Sweetness.....now for the big one

Spuds 1-0 Defoe - 1st min

The same reason why I don't cry like a little bitch when we lose is because win or lose I like to think I can look at things objectively. When people are giving De Jong a fucking 10!!!!! in player ratings and talking about how much play he broke up.

GET THE REPLAYS AND WATCH DE JONG DURING THE SECOND ARSENAL GOAL.

[Rag_hater]

First half Bridge was MOM for me and second half I cant pick between ADE,Bellers ann SWP.
Also thought Micah had a great game along with De Jong

I mentioned earlier he's like a better Gelson Fernandes.

He's nothing special.

I'd rather have Kompany in there when he's back to fitness.

[Mike J]

some of the comments in this thread after arsenal scored their 1st are fucking laughable.

well done city.

[fangsanalsatan]

Reality is. We play with Barry Ireland and SWP=0 goals conceded in 360 minutes of football. Add Dejong=2 goals in 90 minutes conceded. Aren't we supposed to be MORE defensively stable with him in the side?

But let's not forget: 0 goals conceded against Portsmouth, Blackburn and Wolves; 2 against Arsenal.

What an inbred argument! Or are you going to imply Portsmouth, Blackburn or Wolves are every bit as good going forward as Arsenal are ???????? Always wondered why Arsenal have Fabregas, Rosicky and ver Persie pulling the string when they could've had Dunn, Diouf and Jason Roberts.....you might have a point actually!

Dont give a fook about tearing individual performances apart like you do.We have just beat the Gunners 4-2,SWP played much worse than De Jong but i still luv the lil fooker and wont slate him.
Anyway not gettin into any bitchin with you.That was an amazing win without Robbie and Tevez.Im on cloud 9 and those rag clunts are losin 1-0 as well :-)#
