*****official city v the entertainers match thread*****

[one man army]

why, oh why always him??? :)))
I LOVE MARIO BALOTELLI FULL STOP

[CityGer]

Im going to get drunk.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Worried about lescott getting retrospective ban...BUT THANK YOU JEBUS FOR THE WIN OVER THESE TOTTENCHIMPS!!!!

just strong challenge where his arm deflected onto his face. Bout time City fans stopped suggesting our own players got sent off.

[Dendza]

Lescott's goal was so ugly but important

[paddyblue]

how much pressure did you feel on the penalty ? eh nothing

[DoomMerchant]

So even City fans on here think Mario should have been sent off!!! Not having that but as ever when he comes on something happens.
Booked for absolutely nothing, a clash with Parker that I thought was nothing and then after contributing nothing positive since he came on he gets a pen and scores from it.

Balo is an enigma. You can't watch his stamp on Parker again without saying he deliberately gave him an extra sumpin sumpin, can you? i mean, let's not be completely oblivious. Same for Lescott's forearm smash.

And like i said earlier in the match thread -- i don't care HOW dirty we were against Spurs as long as we fucking win. And win we did. ;)

That kind of elbow-smashing, stamping performance against a side that inspires less venom from me (read: pretty much everyone else except Spurs, Rags and Scouse 1 and 2) and i'd be embarrassed. Does that seem unsupportive of the team? i hope not. It's just how i feel.

I'M F*CKING LOVING IT!!!

Barry turns his back on Bale
2-2

Souness just drawing attention to it on Sky: describing it as something you see on a school playground

i was losing my mind...jesus. what a finish.

[The Original Special One]

Only one reason that game was even close and savic knows who that is.
That is how champions do it,play to the last does it remind us of anyone?

Yep: all their long balls were hit with Savic in mind

Tbf, monkey face shot was unstoppable. He surprised Joe on contre pied, no chance,

[bigblue]

Balo should have never been sent off, was a quality legal stamp and a shame that he missed Parkers face

I reckon there will be an investigation into the 2 incidents although I cannot see them doing Ballo as he is looking up and not down at the floor.
Lescotts was pretty blatant...we wont have heard the last of this I reckon.

[guv111]

I can see Spurs confidence taking a huge knock after that. And I really hope so. Redknapp is Tosser of the Year.

hahhahhhah that made me laugh so so hard

[paddyblue]

webb did not see the mario stamp so there could well be a 3 game ban coming up,twitchy drawing attention to it as well

[Crossie]

Fuckin A.

The double over Spuds, oh how the media will cry in the morning.

"Spurs robbed"
"Evil wins against good"
"Scott Parker for England"
"DeFoe is better than Aguero"

Goes some tiny way to show them how we felt when they took the Champs League spot 3 years ago.

[Blue Blood]

Shocked to see the rally from journos on twitter to get Balo and Lescott 3 match bans.

Frankly think it is disgusting.

This.

Very happy with the win, especially the morale-deflating, last-minute manner of it. Lovely. Couldn't happen against a better set of twats as well.

did i miss it or did Balo not get a card for his foul on Parker which means they cannot go back and look at it, but the Lescott one is wide open.

I'd expect us to be fielding Micah and Savic at CB vs Scouse...we'll go there having to play 3-5-2 i think.
