Kidd compares Mancini to Demento!

Boy he sure does back pedal on Super Mario. Brian Kidd is always a great interview and great guy.

No comment on The Ol' Baconface comparison.

Scousers have had more 50/50 decisions in 10 mins than we get in 3 games.

Well done City! Great win and sets us off for what i hope will be a cracking xmas win!

Listend to it on GMR so cant wait for the highlights, they did mention that for AJ's goal he was day dreaming a bit until Roberto yelled at him to make the run - good teamwork!

Would have been good for the GD if we had kept a clean sheet though instead of nodding off again in the 89th min!

But Carroll is dominating their defence. Think we may struggle against him. Konchesky is awful, at fault for the goal.

Tiote is a very good player though.

I enjoyed that..Silva and Yaya Immense.,.......


And once again how the fuck does Boateng keep Micah out of the side is beyond comprehension....... the guy is fucking shocking.

That is what I don't get. He look like a chicken flapping around with his head cut off. Seemed like he was trying to do a thousand things at once. At least Micah stays in his box.

I'm very disappointed in him........e weakest link by far in our side today and was responsible for their goal as well....a free fuckign header!!

Micah to replace him please.

Has it come to this?? We play brilliant, and we comment on the weakest link? Not picking on you at all Carl, I think our collective mindset is that we are so used to typical City that we seem to focus on the negative. It is kind of like having 100 women in a room 99 are 10+ and one looks like Shrek and we would comment on her!!

That said, yeah he is boring, but maybe in a squad of 11 he fits in very well (though I too like the way Micah plays better). Look at Jo, there is nothing flashy, but when he plays the movement up top is first rate. He is almost always in position, and on AJ's goal he drew 1 if not 2 defenders away from the center with a run toward the touchline in the the direction Silva was coming from opening up the middle for that ball. He fits in our side plain and simple. And has never said word one about his playing time. So I would prefer to focus on the positives I saw today.

Umm, I don't want to speak for all of us here, but I'll say it. We are City fans?? We always do this. Always pulling out the loose threads in a perfect quilt. Until we experience a consistent level of success this will never change.

Two yanks trying to define what it means to be a City fan. YCMIU.

Great to see Deadly Darius on the scoresheet again today

[CITYSTEVEDON]

give the lad a chance[ bot] hes just turned 20 ffs and what i saw of the game as i had to go somewhere, he did ok. oh and as i didnt see any goals because of making a cuppa and out, i think the win is down to me lol

Annoying about Nigel but the occasional suspension goes with the territory if you play in that position. Still Carlos and Kolarov back next week. I imagine it will be Milner for Nigel but Mancini likes two defensive mids to give Silva and Yaya the freedom to express themselves. I dare say Milner can cope with a holding role and he'd be playing central which he seems to prefer. I still prefer Boateng to Micah; he's got the class which will show through in the end. How many times have we seen Micah play really poorly against any sort of quality from a left sided player.

FFS watch Cahill from set pieces next week! A couple of weeks wages docked for anyone who loses Cahill. Also one weeks wages docked for failing to clear the first man at corners.

I wonder who'll start against Juve. I might be tempted to play Balotelli there because he'll want to show how good he is to an Italian audience. Hopefully he'll handle any racial chanting which comes his way.

I think cahill is off to play for the dingo fuckers in the asia cup.

Best news I've heard since full time!

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Really pleased Yaya showed some of his best today.He hasn't been able to train consistently with that migraine or whatever but Thursday/Friday this week he was looking strong and impressive in the work Mancini was doing with them. Just felt like he was bound to score today.

Prob just as well as the 2 "strikers" missed great chances

[Beefymcfc]

Just watching the re-run on Footie First and cannot understand what the fuck these pair of twat commentator's are on about. It's minimal in their reporting but at the same time quite infuriating!

We won 3 fucking 1 and are now league leader's, joint maybe, but leader's never-the-less. Oh, and fuck off with the 'other Manchester club' you knob-rash, no need, no need at all!

[Swales4ever]

Off for some liquid now... thanks all Mates.

Now? You mean the last 2 hours you've been stone cold sober?

Well Mate, sometimes I find myself quite hard to believe, but it's an ancient scaramantic mood of mine...:-)
So far this season I've breached it only when 2 down versus the gooners

Cheers Craig

PS. I love Brian Kidd, what a star.

[Beefymcfc]

Oh Fuck off, Barcodes and Dippers first!

[Swales4ever]

PS. I love Brian Kidd, what a star.

me too. an important role player in holding up all the primadonnas... That's obscure but really important in every Top Clubs.

[bluejon]

Can't believe it meself! Bartons the dogs now!

[blues-clues]

West Ham were terrible. We could / should have had more goals but were disjointed ourselves for large parts of the game. There is still a lot to come from City as the commentators on Sky were happy to keep repeating but a win is a win even if their goal was shocking defending on our part.

[Beefymcfc]

And what's with the Robot Wars bloke, ...... how much shit can you talk? Bri Kidd saying he sees A ferguson'esque attitude in Mancini, can't really ask more than that can you.

CITY 'TIL I DIE,
I'M CITY 'TIL I DIE,
I KNOW I AM I'M SURE I AM,
I'M CITY 'TIL I DIE ;-)
