Nevermind!


Swear Cattamole just scored that one, surely that counts as 4-1.

Ya Ya looks like a man reborn, today; and just when I was thinking Milner deserved a run in the middle

It'd be tough to find a poorer midfield performance than the one Cattermole's put in today.

Yaya, Kompany, De Jong and Kolarov all brilliant today. Lets have 6 or 7.

Its been almost a perfect day. All the players have done well today and Manchini has been spot on will tactics and subs. Why can't we play lke this more often. When we actually go for it, we are lethal.

Tevez needs to come off and save him for next week. Give Dzecko 5 minutes.

No subs left unfortunately. We put McGivern, Paddy V, and SWP on.

Mancini has done himself no harm today, at all. What he needs to do, though, is employ these tactics against the Rags, Arsenals, and Chelseas. We're already doing crap against them, playing defensively, so what is there to lose?

As for Bruce? The "new" Alan Curbishley, but with far less grace.

Sunderland looking abit stronger now they have switched to a 5 man MF but dont think we should change our formation just cuz they have..Were doin well with 2 up top..Im sure theres a couple of more goals in us.


If we start chancing 45º balls to the wings we will murder them, have to push the fullbacks up though to lend weight and shouldn't be an issue with them only having 1 up front.


Spot on m8...Feed AJ more this half and it will come good for us.


Toldja :p

He normally leaves one until the last couple of minutes (if there's been no injuries) but must be feeling cavalier today.

Munster over Leinster, last night; Tipperary thumping Galway on their own patch, earlier this afternoon.
And, the icing on the cake!,......

It doesn't get any better than this!

Well played City, pressure is certainly on Spurs now, and five goals does our difference a world of good.
