Zabba....PFA player of the year or not fashionable enough??

[shawzy]

Monkey finally dropped.

Diving like a Brazilian cunt. Get the fuck up and stop acting like you got shot.

We just won away at the cloggers, getting fuck all off the ref and you want us not to go down when we take a hit, in our own penalty area while defending a 1-0 lead. No problem. Understood.

[Green & Blue]

Good result at a difficult away ground, very happy with that.

Hope Kompany knock is nothing serious.

[Ted Hughes]

The impressive thing about that imo, was that out of the two teams, the toughest was City.

I thought our final ball was abysmal, but we won loads of 50/50s & kept them at bay.

Why Pulis has barely used Crouch in the last two games baffles me though. He is unstoppable if the right ball is delivered & their rugby tactics need him in order to work. Our cbs had the other geezers for breakfast.

Monkey finally dropped.

Yeah. But it seems like forever since we last lost at stoke.

[Swales4ever]

stick Your wrestlers up to arse, Toni Pulis.

A huge sufferance, but as I said in midweek coming there and imposing ourself speak volumes on our improvements!

City is destined where none has ever been: Lads are keep improving and learning from mistakes, dramatically!

So proud.

Special mention to THE BRAVE AWAY BLUES: Majestic Support!

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Would have been a travesty if we hadn't won that.Made Stoke look like a pub team and basically that's what they are. Just lacked some composure in the penalty area otherwise it would have been 3 or 4.

Well said, Sir!
I mentioned it as well, as a very impressive feedback from the 1st quarter, then I stopped cuz I thought I was wanking too much and bringing misfortune... :-)

Top Lads, our Boys!

[Mase]

Genuinely cannot think of a better right back in the premiership than the mad one.

The workrate of the whole team has improved so much we have been fighting for everything recently and it's winning us games.If you compare our workrate now off the ball to close down opposition and win the 50/50s it's a million miles away from the way we were playing earlier this season.

Zabba....PFA player of the year or not fashionable enough??

I was asking a similar question the other day: Club's player of the year, or won't he be high-profile enough for our new-found fans?

[shawzy]

Same here..His play in the buildup to the goal was immense. Best fullback in the worl, nevermind the prem..Think Micah better look at fighting for a centre half place.

[Dameerto]

That goal came even though Stoke had six players back, what a joy to watch.

He's getting player of the month awards from the club (voted for by fans online) so the fans in general seem to recognise his hard work (obviously the matchgoers do). The pundits on ITV love him too.

[blues2win]

Garcia is getting used to the Premiership and played well. Telex hasn't got his shooting boots; we really could do with a few more goals from him. As for Pablo let's face it none of us are missing Micah. If there's a better right back in the Premiership I haven't seen him.

[Beefymcfc]

Just shown the Garcia challenge again and nobody, but nobody, can understand why Webb did not send him off, or even give him a yellow card.

The mind boggles. Or does it?

[shawzy]

Luv Peter Reid..An Evertonian with a massive soft spot and passion for city. Thankyou ITV for putting him on.
