I don't like Sturridge, but he showed class. And he was booed when he played for Chelsea too. He could had celebrated in any way he would had wanted looking back at the way he left.

Look at AJ, his first game against us and he celebrated, for Sunderland, Imagine what he would had did if he played for a bigger club.

Did he? I recall he did a very muted "celebration".

Just like last year the pressure is off us now, We are 9 points behind, lets get a few wins together now and see where we end up, its not over as we all know, But its going to be alot harder this time around.

Neah, he celebrated, it wasen't a rag type of celebration, but he celebrated, but for me was something more like: "fuck off, Bobby, you made a mistake"

[Dubaimancityfan]

Still don't understand why Tevez didn't come on. Did he refuse to warm up ? Again !!

Must have been very muted..Didnt see him rubbing in atall against the fans...I saw respect but ive only seen the goal once.

[Cit.revenge]

Sturridge is the guy we should bring not Sincler so fast he would be great winger

Mancini refused to warm him up.

Gutted...It's not over till the 'fat hippy' sings though.

On the train home from the match.

Not a good performance at all today.

Got to say Milner and Zaba were brilliant as usual! Milner was everywhere and Zaba never backed out of a challenge.

So was the 'foul' on Edin actually a foul?
When Glen Johnson got the ball on the right he slowed it right down as if he was going to kick the ball out and I think he passed it to Downing to do just that.

We need Yaya and Vinnie back ASAP.

Kolarov smashed it as usual by the way.

[Mase]

So booing sturridge after he shows city some respect. Classy....

Did you go to the match out of interest mate?
I'm only asking because as a guy who was there that didn't boo, I could fully understand why they booed after what he pulled by leaving us after we trained him up.

Kolarov smashed what exactly? Maybe the idea that he is a top class player!

Well of course I didn't. I live in Austria.

[Douglas Higginbottom]

The dive wasn't very respectful.

But it is what forwards do. And it wasn't really a dive either. Lescott was again lucky.

It was a dive and Lescott was therefore not lucky. Sturridge admitted he dived and he said he apologised to Joleon.

That goal also came after a foul not given to us !

Yeah, i remember this moment, but still he celebrated a bit, just a bit. Sturridge didn't.

[Cocacolajojo1]

Well then, he showed even more class didn't he. I was wrong anyhow.

So you changed your post after I answered you. Classy. And you being there has fuck all to do with us training him. :).

I've nothing bad to say about AJ for that. did nothing wrong there for me.
had Sturridge done the same thing today I wouldn't have had a problem with that either.

actually, it's just like when Milner scored that screamer vs. Villa I would've liked him to "celebrate" it just a little bit more as he's now a sky blue! you can do that without disrespecting your former club, like imo AJ did

matter of opinions what's fine & what's not of course.

Classy? You're on a City forum kid not in the Palace.
I changed my post literally 2 minutes after I posted it. Whether you responded while I was doing it or not it doesn't alter anything.

People paid money today to watch City. People who've been paying that money for a long time so were there when Sturridge tried to hold us to ransom for £60k a week.
So if they want to boo a player that doesn't play for us they can do. Whether that makes them classless or not.
