****The official Match Thread Man city v Gollum****.

[ruralblue]

Not good enough, bright moments but could not get through their defence. Too many long balls again.

Only highlight is Mancini taking his ball back off Gollum.

WE HAVE A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CREATIVITY MISSING IN MIDFIELD IT'S SHOCKING.

we got crappier after superman went off

Oh behave..he was below par as per fucking usual..

[The Foggy Blue]

See my post from earlier today.

I remember this fixture being a serious let down two years ago. We were pushing for Europe (!) and this was seen as a real chance at putting down a marker. But, typical city - we lost two nil. Petrov got sent off in the 90th minute for good measure too. What a brutal night it turned out to be.

Something tells me that tonight will be different though. I genuinely believe that we are over that shit now (not that genuinely believeing we were over it before has ever made a difference...)

COME ON CITY> COME THE FUCK ON!!!!!!!! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Complete fucking joke.

And he went off because he was taken out of the game. And the greasy port-swilling twat was allowed to get away with it as well, to no-one's surprise.

We'll win our next game and everything will be alright again. Still a long way to go.

Still in the hunt lots of twists and turns before this season ends, Villa dropping pts Pool also and I can see Spuds doing the same .

[Green & Blue]

Sorry night for city,not a happy man with that.Hate Everton with a passion.
We played very well until they caught us with the goal.It was a very frustrating night even when we played our best football it felt like we were doing it under the strangle hold of the referee.He just smothered us tonight.
Never really looked like getting back on level terms in the second half,even when we attacked everything looked far to hurried.Vieira on much earlier might half helped us settle and play the ball about a bit but i think city just panicked after the goal and never calmed down enough to control the play positively.

Frankly anyone who knew Evilton just as other kickers before would target Ireland - they got at him , gets no protection or decides it´s not for him - he gets injured and it´s fucled - he´s much better when there are more tired legs out there and the game breaks up a bit - Bobby got that one AND the AJ subs completely wrong imo - lets hope he learns - atm not top 4 with that mid against blood and thunder teams

Hit the nail on the head there. Our midfield is simply not good enough.

its clear we need a gerrard, arteta, alonso, fabregas, carrick?, lampard, iniesta, xavi, modric, milner?, fucking bullard type player in our midfield!!!

De Jong - what is the point of having this man in the set up?

Can someone tell me what he brings to the fucking table?

could not pass our way out of a wet paper bag tonight,very poor distribution in the middle of the park.De jong just seems limited to passes backwards or sideways its frustrating to watch when we are chasing a game and need to get forward.

watching that spell in the 2nd where we were all over them i was thinking this is quality....till i realised we hadnt had a fucking shot on target.

Someone has to be able to unlock the door (defense).

[Original Dub]

The big problem IMO is the amount of changes made to a team who had just won in a notoriously hard ground.

In fact, our manager is ADDICTED to changes. Change when your winning, change when your losing, change after you win convincingly, change after you lose convincingly.

So there's no reason to think we won't knock several shades of shit out of Wigan. Its just that, it will be changed again and so on and so on...

Villa are now our biggest threat to fourth because Spurs will lose at least twice IMO and draw one or two.

All in all, the manager and the players let us all down yet again when we really could've made a break for it and its hard not to be anything other than angry and disappointed that a cunt like Moyes and a team like Everton can spank us twice.

[avoidconfusion]

Best thing about today's game was when Mancini nearly decked Moyes.

[Green & Blue]

I just did not like the fact that we brought on santa and in the same move brought off Johnson the man most likely to have provided the crosses for him.Strange move by Mancini that.

[gilford]

Makes what gollum said in the paper today make a lot more sense, we lack team spirit, have done for years.

to be fair mate someone made a good point that Rocky was injured and Vieira and Garrido would probably struggle to play two games so close...I see your point but the players out there HAD to perform.

[Dameerto]

Our season is going to come down to two matches in four days - our home games to Villa and Spurs. If they can't get motivated for those games they shouldn't be wearing our colours.

100% agree. we really cant afford to drop points now.

however can see us losing to spurs, arsenal and the rags.

[london blue 2]

I think we can still get 3rd
