***city v barca official match thread***

[Douglas Higginbottom]

Got to be happy with that.The boss has them well organised even though it's at the expense of a some quality going forward.Clichy working with Kolarov to find a way through isn't going to work is it?

Had we gone for it with Nasri instead who knows what would have happened.Maybe we will find out in the 2nd half when the subs are used.

[Lee_R]

Blew the whistle before the 45 mins was up. What the fuck?

I thought that.. was it dead on?

Just checked.. 45:01

FFS!

[Crossie]

The former Swedish national team manager is commentating and he thinks city's defending is master class. I agree. Those of you getting on demi's case are blind or idiots. Your pick.

Lol

It would be better than master class with Lescott instead, capable of not kicking it into touch or passing it directly back to Barca like he is actually playing for them.

That said, team proving itself good enough. I'm sure we can push on a little more now and take a couple of risks to get a goal. They are vulnerable.

[PeterParker]

I have a feeling about Jove.

Dunno why.

Dunno why.

yep.

[Cit.revenge]

Wow this was boring half . If we can score at list one goal and go with some kind advantage there.Negredo is to alone ther but that's why Barcelone don't have holes i suppose . Love to see Nasri if we going to continue like this.

yep.

Or Dzeko

[Hutch's Shoulder]

I was a bit worried for the first 10-15 minutes when we struggled to get the ball, but we grew into after that. Another 15 of the same, then some more attacking subs will be good.

[Chopper]

Ibrahimoc with a screamer 0-3

[Moonchesteri]

I'd like to see Nasri for Kolarov or Clichy.

Not even the rags get anywhere this amount of refereeing bias.

Oh yes they do and you know it too

[sheblue]

Still in this.
Just need to keep a clean sheet and hope to nick one or two on the counter.

[Slim]

Anyone else watching the russian broadcast?

They had a short pudgy Pep clone as the host.

Boring????? It was anything but boring, it was an intriguing chess match between the two best sides in the world and we are currently shading it.

Boring is last word I would use....unless of course you are a neutral that doesn't understand what football is.

[Beefymcfc]

Not bad from us and I think we had the better chances. Neggers has had some that Dzeko would get slated for. Playing well defensively and even when we've been turned we've kept the organisation and discipline.

As I thought before the game, everytime you look at a Barca player they fallover and get a freekick. It doesn't help the game flow and it's quite obvious that Barca are trying to get into positions to allow Messi a free shot at goal.

All this passing it about from them is boring me to fuck and I just want to see a big punt upfield where Neggers gets the run on their defence. That'd make me smile.

Continue as we are 2nd half and if we start to get on top like we've done in phases of the 1st half, bring on Nasri and even think of playing 2 upfront by bringing Edin on.

PS. My blood pressure has never been so high, my head is pulsing and I think the only way it will stop is if we score a goal. So much want to beat these soft-arse cunts.

Nah, Barca are on another level. Every fucking decision goes there way and they all love a dive. Like watching 11 talented Ashley Youngs.

I really hate to say this, but no real city fan could possibly be bored by that.

How can you play chess when your opponent's bishops, knights and rooks keep falling over?

[Blue Since 76]

We can nick this

Rub some butter on it.
