Considering we had our best player out and Balotelli, it was a great point, bring on FA Cup weekend.

Right game tactics given the absence of Silva and Balotelli, and given we are playing away at the Emirates.. Good result, with Zabs as my MOTM.

I hope City appeal this red card--clearly the only one butting was the Arsenal prat, who showed gracelessness when Zab offered a conciliatory arm.

Jo did himself no favours--looked like he was running in molasses.

We made a statement tonight, were 2nd, rejoice!


I agree. Sometimes you have to play like that and this was one of those occassions against a very good Arsenal side. It's not as if that is how we are playing every game, as we were a few months ago!

I'm pleased with that point. Defensively we were excellent. I would have liked us to attack more as Arsenal are weak defensively but with Silva and Balotelli out, I can understand why we did it.

United are in the strongest position but everyone should look at their remaining fixtures. They have a tougher run-in than us, have to play more matches against the other top 5 teams and their 2 games in hand are away to Chelsea and Blackpool - look at their away record!!!

We are definitely in the title race and with Spurs and Chelsea dropping points, it's a good night for us!

I fucking love being in a title race!!! COME ON CITY!!!

We were never going to give Arsenal a hard time with the team we put out today.
Yaya is not a fit footballer.
We missed SILVA big time .
JO is the worst footballer at our club and fuck knows why Mancini doesn't see this.
Milner is a battler and that's it......a Footballer shouldn't need to stare at the ball at his feet all the time whilst running.

Reasons to be cheerful. Chelsea lost Tottenham lost Jo will surely never start again with Balotelli and Dzeko available Zabaleta's red card might get overturned on appeal the defence were very brave and resilient

And after a lot of tiring games in a short space of time we got a really good point

Guys....
We need speed on the Flanks to be a complete team, especially with our new Striker coming in...
We miss craig bellamy tonight or let say even Petrov...

Very good Defending tonight.

We are slowly become a winning team with winning mentality.

Go Mancini!!!!!
GO CITY...

On a side note Yaya needs to start doing more fitness work.

His stamina is fucking shit.


On another tangent this league is as tight as a nuns fanny.

Absolutely. Was shown up terribly tonight. I love his attacking runs but rarely does he have energy left to do anything useful at the end of them.

We need lightning fast attacking mids/forwards though to make that quantum leap - missed Balo in that sense

Lads he has just played 5 games in 16 days, it's not his fitness he needs to improve, he just needs a rest to recharge his batteries.

Contrast SkySports unofficial Arsenal cheerleaders' whingeing about our 'disgraceful' display throughout the second-half tonight, with their schoolgirlish swooning over their beloved Mourinho and his Inter Milan's shutout of Barca in last season's Champions League semi-final

Silva would have given us fitness and telling passes; all of the things that Milner couldn't provide.
But I suspect we would still have spent most of the time inviting them to come on to us.

I haven't read all of the comments, but was tonight Tevez' best ever performance for us?
Even though he rarely, if ever, looked like scoring.
