***official rags vs CHAMPIONS match thread***

[bobby brows]

Not a classic, by any means

Early quote from the Guardian

Why did you win?

Roberto Mancini: cos we tried to play football

my facebook all about how Phil Jones was the only positive!!!!!!

[Herb]

We were magnificent tonight - another glorious win over the scum - it's something that never fails to delight and most especially on a Monday night where there's little to distract the wider audience and the whole world could look on while we outplayed the rags and our travelling fans out sang the streturd end - as the Tudors used to say "mine cup doth floweth over"!

Something that confuses me is that the statistics given in the match report on the BBC Sport website has the rags shading us for possession! That begs 2 questions; 1. What game did they watch? and 2. Who says that the media aren't biased?

This is the best City have played this season by a country mile.

James Milner hero of Manchester

Cheers Sid, Much appreciated. I don't have sky so it's a pleasant surprise to hear that some small part of the media has a modicum of respect for the truth!

That is all:

Lovely!!

[london blue 2]

Don't wanna start needless threads, how fucking good is that back four today. Even nasti was quality ;)

[clawbaggio]

Still no mention yet on Sky of Shreks 2 footed tackle. And Welshit did 2 of them, one right in front of the ref and didn't even get a booking.
Wouldn't it be great if their arses dropped out and they did a Devon Lock?
Never thought I would say this but "come on Stoke"!

Fuck off! I never said that!

Was the only thing they weren't 'red' about and it probably chaffed like fuck.

Are you sure you wouldn't want Phil Jones in it, mate? ;-)

We were excellent defensively. Nasti still is an issue for me as he allows their strikers to bring the ball down and lay it off to begin attacks, which isn't good enough, but that's a discussion for another day. Only positive thoughts today!

He made a superb block in the first half, and the other back 3 were superb as usual.

Thought they all played well but someone needs to tweet Kompany my previews about standing up and not diving in. Thought Zabaleta was magnificent, Manchester needs to name a street after him but Clichy had his best game in a City shirt

Excerpt from the MUeN match report blog.

A slighly sensed vermin, already aware of an heavy morning ahead:

Even if this team wins the Premier League this year and it's a big "IF", this team still doesn't warrant any kind of post season celebrations. They should just disappear on their own personal holidays 'cause we don't want to see them celebrate. They continue to embarrass all of us fans especially against our biggest rivals! And better than the team of 1999? A team with Keane, Stam, Schmeichel, Beckham, Scholes and a different Giggs. YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! They're not even anywhere near the team of 2008!! As for Rooney, in addition to Nani, Andersen and Valencia, sell Rooney as soon as this season ends!!! We need to completely overhaul the midfield and bring in Strootman (PSV), Rodriguez (Porto) and Lewandowski (Dortmund)!!!!!!!

P.S. Why does Fergie start with Giggs? Except for the last 10 minutes, is there a hidden infatuation here?

The cunt fails to take into account the little particular that what their clowns don't guarantee, often is provided by different factors, like pliable oppositions and double standards on rules.... but that's another story.

[sheblue]

Jones me bollix, the elephant man is a big babbling battering ram.... Kompany now there's a real class defender.

What do you mean "even Nasti was quality"? He usually is. Improves every game.
