***Official Wigan v City Thread***

[DoomMerchant]

What do people really really want?? A team that wins trophys but with very little flair, a team that grinds our results and does what is required. Or a top notch entertainment unit that scores loads of goals, consides loads and doesn't win a bean. I know which one I would prefer.

Jose won the league for Chelsea on two occasions with a team that grafted and worked for one another, they were not flash but got the job done. Do you think the Chelsea fans moaned when they won league twice on the bounce??

i don't mind a lack of flash if we win confidently. Looks like we'll do that today maybe, but the first 38 minutes or so didn't have me convinced. I should keep the faith, huh?

regardless, we looked like we couldn't buy three points against Sunderland and Blackburn, don't you think? I want the points, end of. I don't care about style vs points, but if the style isn't getting the points at least Mancini needs to show me he's going for it. Know what i mean?

cheers

De Jong has been super today. Looks great on the ball as well as everything else.

[Beefymcfc]

Boys sound like they're im fine fettle, not heard anything from the Pie Munchers?

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Tevez should of done better there, he had loads of time

[paddyblue]

this puts us nicely in to 4th place

[The Original Special One]

Is Adebayor malingering?

It seems suspicious that he 'acquired' this latest injury so soon after his last whinge-interview

[CITYSTEVEDON]

i still want us to score another goal

[DoomMerchant]

this puts us nicely in to 4th place

in about 12 minutes when the match is over that is. they are still kicking the ball in anger...let's not get too convinced.

cheers

[paddyblue]

Mike we battered both them teams and on any other day we would have been 3 or 4 up. Sometimes the ball just don't go your way. People go into panic mode when they don't need to IMO, we have around 8 players out injured and are still doing ok. We sit nicely in 4th at the moment with what people have descibed as a shaky start!

We have stopped conceding goals and actually look pretty solid. This team will only get better as time goes on IMO. I'm happy with our start to the season, our plays not as fluent as I have seen us in the past but in the past we had a soft underbelly. Patients is key, I'm sure we will be playing like Brazil in no time....:-)

[citytilidie]

how good has zab been today? considering he's right footed, playin LB

[shawzy]

That would have been contender for goal of the season if that went in..Unlucky AJ.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

Milners played shit today, can't pass for some reason

[craigmcfc]

Well in City, another professional 2-0 win

[mr_nool]

3 points. I'm happy.
Things can improve but - drum whirl - at the end of the day - en drum whirl - 3 points are all that matter.

Zabaleta MOM for me today!!! Two nil and fuck off to all who don't hail City!!!
