Looked like a quite clear freekick for Balo right outside the box?

Balo does get fouled alot without the ref noticing it seems, must be part of why he gets so frustrated, either that of their defenders know how to wind him up.

By the way, where is everyone today?

Alan Green's commentary seems to be more about Howard Webb's 'performance' than the game itself!

Hope Cattermole gets De Jong-ed later.

Good start,some nice attacking movements,superb first goal ,slightly lucky penalty( it was one though) and then by and large we have switched off. Good to see Mario sort of in control of himself but a shame he hasnt actually done anything of note yet.

Vinnie immense.

Well played on the whole...Tevez goal aside he is half the player he was before January....I know that sounds unfair but he his first touch is still not there.

I think Company is yet again streets ahead as POM so far and Boyata has played extremely well..probably just as well as Company.

We need to seal this off, this can put us 3rd and 6 points ahead of Spurs, they will be out of champs league in another 2 weeks, by then only 4 or 5 games left, as noted, we need to go into that last game, 3 point ahead of them. Our goal diff is massively in our favour.

Tevez was lucky with his pen thought wasn't he?

I think de Jong and Yaya were very good operating as a 2 man midfield, they had to change the whole formation to deal with it, and de Jong's positioning when Kolarov overlaps is just brilliant, slots in so naturally he is so fucking vital.

Slightly. But for me that is a penalty

Defo a pen, think he was talking about the actual strike. Keeper went the right way, got a hand on it, lucky it went in.

Sky hate us don't they.


Phil Neville is wearing a blue tie and a blue shirt and he always played really well for us when he turned out for the rags! I reckon he is a closet blue! SO much prefer him to his rat faced twat of a brother!

Boyata has done ok for a centre half playing full back.Out of position at times, beaten on the only time he was taken on and not great distribtion but ok.
It would be nice if AJ could be involved a bit more as he feels like a real threat given half a chance.

I saw him beaten and recover, gave up a corner but stopped the cross coming in, can't ask for more than that.

If we keep getting the ball to AJ down the right we'll be fine. He's very dangerous and takes tons of pressure off the defense.

I could douse both of them in petrol and set a match without a second thought.

The best 1st half at Eastlands for me today! Kompany is simply divine and our 1st score, what a beauty from Yaya and Adam!!!
