What a strike!

[bigblue]

Holy shit, what a goal.

stream died for 10 seconds in the 2nd half... and thats when we score

Much better performance. Slacked off in the 2nd half, but some great goals in there. Very good preparation for PSG as well

[mr_nool]

Ha ha ha, Mase was right all along.

[South Stand Balti]

We'll never hear the end of this after that goal from Kolarov. U know what I mean!

[Mase]

This is why we should keep Kola. Excellent player, probably the best player we've had ever! Forget Messi. Forget Pogba. It's all about Alex

[KinkyKinkladze]

Great performance all round. Great to see the lesbian back. Not a bad match from any one of them. Nice to be able to look forward to motd for once. Shame Ian didn't get a chance at goal but at least he got on. Top job city, for once in a long time you've made me a happy blue.

Give him a free role midfield role and we're sorted.

LOL

Pep will never keep him, but he will help some club next season.

"Forget Pogba" - chuckle

Great goal by Kola. In many ways this performance sums up a lot of feelings this season. We have the quality and when we apply the desire we are awesome. It just hasn't happened often enough.

Still, well chuffed with the three points, clean sheet, Hammers drawing and the return of KDB and Nasri

[freshie]

Ellen De Generes on for Silva

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Well, that was a pleasant surprise.

[Beefymcfc]

Great to see Kev and the French Lesbian back, the former really changing our game play of late. Fernando is looking a player that we've never seen, putting himself about and actually playing football. Also, there was times when the Cherries threatened but Otamendi and Mangala closed it down and got us back on the front foot.

And what about Willy, how good was his play, passing the ball out from the back instead of hoofing it. Zaba and Clichy were always looking for the ball and it allowed us to open up the play, dragging them out allowing space in behind.

Great game today and even though you could say it was 'Only Bournemouth', after recent games, this was a breath of fresh air.

[nottsblue]

There is no only Bournemouth about it. Only Leicester have garnered more PL points since December 1st. A fact which will have gone unnoticed by the media in their write ups I'm sure

[Moonchesteri]

Kelechi on

WTF?? No Wilf???

after Bony's last few performances (especially the derby), I wouldn't be surprised if he never plays for us again

I hope that is the case.
I'd much rather send him on holiday to Ivory coast and pay his wages for the remaining part of his contract and give youngsters a chance than put him out there.

[Moonchesteri]

Anyone else put off by the stream of dogs running around the outside of the pitch?

I've seen that in several games in the PL this season. Quite distracting.

Haven't we seen that at Eastlands this season as well?

I don't think it's distracting at all. today I didn't even notice that but in some of the previous City games it has been more fun watching those dogs run than watch us play

[london blue 2]

Fair play great result.

Anyone know if Sergio has come back down from that header yet?

[PrezIke]

We also managed to maintain our GD by 2 over Arsenal.

[john@staustell]

Pellegrini will have one eye on PSG so I'd be shocked if we got anything out of this game.

You OK mate?

[Original Dub]

Glad to see the thread did somewhat of a u turn
