this is the real manchester city now

[Tokyo Blue]

That's probably the closest Dzeko will come to scoring.

ho ho.

[Dameerto]

This is OUR HOUSE!!!

chuckle likes like he is going to choke

[Dameerto]

I can't wait for that little rat faced fucler's punditry now, I bet his whiskers are twitching almost as much as 'arry's face.

[Moonchesteri]

YESSS!!
Really really pleased for Edin!

lol cant wait to see his him chatting away.

[Mark (Blue Army)]

I thought De Gea was the best keeper around??? no...... hahaha

[Whassat]

What a first half! Fucking great innit :)

[Douglas Higginbottom]

The scum dominated the game for a long time while City were sloppy but how many saves did Joe have to make. Then City go forward and score 2. Can't be bad but it's going to be a long 2nd half.

I can't really think of many City players who are having a really good game, maybe Lescott, and with 6 changes allowed per team it will be very interesting to see who goes off.

[deacon]

Really happy for Edin. I hope this gives him some confidence going into the season.

[PeterParker]

Feed the Dzek and he will deliver.
The best thing for me, after this first half, was that City looked like they had a game agains a Championship team, they didn't put pressure and still took the lead. Hope the second stays the same.

I thought we were set up wrong.....noone was having a good game really...2 goals up from nowhere.

[Crossie]

Thats another keeper needed for Scum. Fergies record with keepers is wank, bar Schiemchel and Van der Twat

Gary Neville trying to fake sitting on the fence poorly, gritting his teeth.

Dickheads.

I fucking love how to let them come at us, then uuuush right hook left jab bang 2-0, they're on the floor.

[Esky]

Just waiting for the commentator to mention their Lazarus style 5-3 over Tottenham.

Still a long way to go yet - quite a few yellows in that half have me on edge a bit.

Agree, maybe Silva started to come in the game as he moved to the middle. If I was a red I'd be well pissed off after that half. Tons of possession, hardly worked Joe and 2-0 down.

[bigblue]

I was actually a fan of our roughhouse tactics when we were down. Get in their face and put um off. Now looking to pick it up in the 2nd and get 2 more!

[Chopper]

Hahahaha. All we need now is baconface to be carried off in an ambulance and my day is complete.

[guv111]

Steve Claridge has, shockingly, made the exact point I was thinking: Taggart puts on two reserves and a new signing, probably in an attempt to devalue City's win (should we win).

[The Original Special One]

Good goal Lescott. Nothing will beat his goal against Bolton though. Stood facing the wrong way, cross comes in and hits side of his head before going in. He looked a bit confused bless him xD

FiveLive have started blaming the 'keeper now for the first; particularly after he let in that soft second.
