Another weekend ruined

[Blue Since 76]

Hughes must be having a quiet smile to himself tonight what with Fulham above us.

Whatever way we try and dress the last two results up, ultimately 1 point is utter shit.

We will be punished time and time again playing slow tempo "possession football (that we dont hold onto)" until Mancini finally learns to play to our strengths first and fuck worrying about what the likes of Blackburn bring to the table (which is very little.)

Apart from a keeper who had a blinder today, as he's entitled to. There were also some lucky blocks, like the one that caught Samba's heal and went round the post. On another day, anyone of them could have gone in and it would have been a different story

[simon12]

Thought the only mistakes were starting with PV (scored or not) and swp (did nowt wrong) for Jo(ke). Fuck knows what we had to do to get the ball in the net at times. I think it was one of those games. Performance in the second half from most was good, so don`t worry yet pal.

[Sister of fu]

International breaks are killing us. How the fuck can we get any momentum going or get the lads working together when they piss off every 2 weeks or so. This group of players needs a run of time and games together. I bet Mancini can count on one hand the times he has had them all together as a group.

[dikdik]

Agree with above. We have superb players (when fit!!!!) but how the hell are they supposed to gel when they never get a chance to play together?

Yawn... now I know why KK told me he was going to avoid the site today. We should really start a pool each weak, err week to see he posts this dire thread.

Wake up.... we have had so many comings and goings, did you really think Chelsea would just roll over for us? Top 4 is the goal, and should be the only goal. We have waited 34 years, what is one more season to make it all work?

Come off it, this an extremely good reaction to a poor result imo from the board as a whole

[Fidel Castro]

Werent sharp enough in the final third, and we had umpteen chances to score more than one goal.

On another day we would have scored 4 or 5. Problem is after giving away a "typical City" goal to them, we gave a stray dog a bone and they had something to hang on to in the game. If we had scored the first goal today we would have won that game in a canter.

Chelsea out of sight now, no way we make 7 pts on them. That said, everyone else is in reach but we need to put a run together, and stat playing better away from home. Actually scoring away from home would be a start.

That's the thing though. 'On another day blahblahblah'. Face it. We've been playing poohpooh ever since Pearcini took over. I don't want him to fail, of course not but we really have been awful to watch. Of course I want him to turn it around, but I'm losing hope. Shall I be the first to say 'Mancini you negative Italian cunt, get the fuck out?'

[dazby]

3-1 and they fucked it up, 3-1 and they fucked it up, 3-1 and they fucked it up.....

That is my weekend. I shall hang my hat on that. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Original Dub]

There's a few folk over reacting about this thread - slit wrists etc...

I merely said another weekend has been ruined for me as far as football goes. I wanted and expected us to bounce back after the last two shitty weeks we had to wait from the terrible Sunderland result.

This is another terrible result BTW. No matter how you dress it up.

I also asked the question "when should we start to worry?". If you think it isn't, fair enough. I'm not sure yet, but one more terrible result at Wigan and I will think its time.

They pissed me off yesterday, big time. Fucking blackburn's away form is APPALLING.

[Beefymcfc]

After a night to sleep it off I'm not too bad about yesterday's result. We played a very good game considering the tactics we employed (and with the injuries) and if it wasn't for a silly mistake by Joe then I think we'd have gone on to win it. I think the the mistake actually changed the mood of the crowd who were in decent voice until then (the NS actually sang a rendition of 'Stand up if you love City') which seemed to have an affect on the game.

On a similar subject, what was all the booing about at half-time? I know we were a goal down but we'd had enough chances to easily be in front. I personally just don't get that mentality, but I suppose it comes with the territory when you've spent so much and there are plenty of new faces in the crowd. I say new faces because there was only me and my party that I recognised in my block, with the lad behind me actually having the cheek to put his feet up on the back of my chair. When I sat back in my seat after a near miss, his feet stuck in my back which you would've thought gave him the hint, but no, it happened again when I was sitting down with which he got the full wrath. Strangely enough, when I turned around and laid into him, he was sat there texting and laughing with his mates. That was until he got the 'Get your FUCKING FEET off my chair you fucking knob-end', to which him and his mates turned into snivelling nancies!

Maybe a bit harsh, but obviously needed.

hahahha brilliant I love stories like that. Cheeky fuckers like that need to be told.

I did it in the cinema a while back, a little 14yr old cockey fucker trying to impress his mates but flicking coke out of his straw at the people infront of him, everyone was too polite to say anything, so when he decided he had no coke left and chucked his cup down the isle i couldnt stop myself from standing up, fetching the cup, walking back up to him, "pushing" it into his face, man slapped him, went right into his face and told him to to learn some manners and respect before I taught them to him myself. He sat bolt upright, frozen, not a peep out of him for the next hour.

Saw him on the way out as he walked past me, had the cheek to try and stare me out so i pointed at him and told him to come here, he legged it.

These cunts need telling.

[The Man In Blue]

i think we were unlucky.

ok we should have won, but we created loads of chances and with a bit more luck, or say mr blobby not having a blinder between the sticks for them we'd have hammered them 5-1.

come on, 4 games in, we've had injuries, international breaks and loads of new players to bed in. things will pick up once we get some momentum going.

Thats what I was thinking, so far most seem to be maintaining a reasonable view. How can the players be expected to gel if they are not even here? Hopefully we will get some good training sessions in, bring the injured back one at a time which helps gently ease them in, and then things will get better.

I we have already messed up a top four then so have Liverpool, United, Spurs, etc. loads of teams have got off to a bad start but soemone has to be in teh top 4 and I don'tthink it will be Blackpool.

[brite blu sky]

While pissed off no-one is going into meltdown as the performances have been ok. Shit happens in football, we just need to sharpen up in the final 3rd as quickly as possible. We do rely on Tevez, i think too much, and he isnt yet quite up to speed by his standards.

As for what this slow start may cost us it is impossible to say, but even title winners draw 4 or 5 games and lose 4 or 5. We3 will just have to take points off Chelsea now wont we.

[Green & Blue]

I would just like to say that i think we will have far more results that will make our weekends than ones being ruined this season.

[walmai]

Cheers for that.

When do we start to worry?

Ah ha ha. Worry when you've no points at all, a totally disjointed and demoralised squad, a manic depressive as a coach and a pair of complete clowns running your club.

A not a moment before!

At least 4 teams above you will fade away before Christmas.

Do you want to borrow my Fusion mate ;-)

This is when you find out who the true supporters are.

Can't even remember the amount of times the rags have made a bad start and went on to win it

Aye. Well said.
