Beefy, tbf, I've just got home & seen it again; where I'm looking at from the other side of the pitch, I saw Agteapots hand push towards Lescott but in reality, it was shite from JL.

One of the few things he's actually sone wrong rather than being victimised . It was diabolical.

Fair one, will be watching it later, had to rush back for X-Factor ;-)

It's deffo a foul (shouldered in the back) & refs always give them (til now) but he still has 3 paces to the ball & should have reacted, just toe ending it off the pitch rather than running over it in a state of shock. Poor defending whatever the reasons. Definititely no worse than several mistakes Vinny has made though, including the one yesterday, where he came racing out & flattened Ireland for no reason, thus giving a team who is only likeley to score from a free kick; a free kick.

Rang up me brothers pub in skegness which is basically a rags pub....me brother is a staunch red through and through and absolutely fucking hates City...it was fun to ring up and gloat even though I couldn't understand his rantings and ravings..me mentioned something about Arabs and money...eventually he slammed the phone down....rang brother number 2 up..also a red rag bastid..he too ranted and raved and slammed the phone down on me......then I rang me dad...fuck me....he too ranting and raved..mentioned mercenaries..money and something else that wasn't very coherent...and then ..slammed the phone down on me.

I'm laughing too much...piss funny...and what's even funnier is I'm going to ring them all up again at 4 in the morning UK time.

Surprise, surprise!

If there was any contact from Agbonlahor, it was slight. Lescott was at fault. As for Kompany, I love the guy and I think he could be a legend at City. He is no way nearly as dominant as last season and he needs to get back to his level asap; next week will be as hard as Bayern and we need him back to his rock-like self. I'd still play Kolo instead of Lescott, basically because he's better. With NDJ looking imperious despite it being his first game this season, the back 4 will settle better. NDJ is the best defensive midfielder in the World.

On a side note, just how shit is Agbonlahor? How has he ever played for England?

Agbonlahor is one in a long line of absolute joke picks for england, which shows no sign of ending (Jay Bothroyd or Carlton Cole anybody ?). It was more than a slight touch on Lescott though it was a shoulder in the back which knocked him off balance. He should still have got to the ball but those kind of fouls are always given.

Why he should be dropped & why Kolo Toure would suddenly be better than him I fail to understand though. I've never seen Toure play as consistently well as Vinny & Lescott are doing now, even when they're below par, so how he'd suddenly improve us I don't know. I predict we'll suddenly start letting in lots more headed goals if he plays regularly & everyone will be calling for Lescott to come back.
