Not the best first half Iv'e ever seen But Hey 2 - 0 I wish we would zip It around quicker like we used to . Same again second half and we overtake Pool I think ??

[DoomMerchant]

2 more and we go 4th...is this correct??

i believe it would be 3

[dazby]

Absolutely thrilled that I can get Manc radio in Oz. Never used to be able to for City games.

The streams are up the shitter so I'm listening in for this. Hopefully now we're 2-0 up we can press on and really knock up a score.

No we'd still be a point behind Spuds. 3 more and we go 5th.

[Moonchesteri]

Was that the most muted celebration ever???

must be the emotion of it for him, but i thought he was surely called offside by his reaction on the TV...even with a 4 year old yelling "blue team scored daddy. blue team scored" standing right next to me.
he was right. they scored.

cheers

Lovely.. He/she sounds just like me missus when we score lol!

[crossan]

2-0 up but by the sound of it were are not playing at our best (listening to it on 5live) but a win is a win and the important thing is 3 points............

[Fidel Castro]

Worst home performance of the season? But winning 2-0 somehow.
We're wasting a player by sticking the snail Barry out on the left. Put Petrov on the left (cos on the right he just cuts back, then cuts inside and then overhits a crossfield pass) and SWP on the right.

A test of our progress. In the past we've took our foot off the pedal and let teams back in - let's see if we've learnt anything. Now we've got them by the goolies, it's time to squeeze and twist.

[carl_feedthegoat]

REALLY PLEASED WITH TOURE..HE,S PLAYING GREAT.

GOT TO SAY WE ARE POOR TODAY....2 NIL UP BUT IF WERE WERE PLAYING ANYONE ELSE IT WOULDNT BE ROSY.......ID LIKE TO SEE BELLERS AND SWP ON IN THE SECOND HALF.

[avoidconfusion]

Not happy with the way we are playing at all to be honest. Mostly sideways and backwards... I wish Ireland would play more passes that cut right through the defense... great pass to Adebayor, we need more of those.

[Crazy_Cabbie]

So glad to see Ade back,

he's tall he's quick,his names a porno flick EMMANUEL,EMMANUEL!!!! c'mon city 4 nil against this shite!

[Somerset Blue]

Right now 2-0 would be a good result...

Ha ha, can I put in my second half request now please, keep this prediction stuff up every 10mins or so. Ta muchly

I'll give it a few minutes, don't want to get greedy...

COME ON CITY!

what do you mean by worst? We were dominant on the ball and apart from two half chances they had nothing on us.

Short memory you have, we were drawing teams like this earlier in the season.

[Somerset Blue]

Apols if already commented on and I missed it - but I do find it mildly amusing that Pompey are sponsored by 'jobsite'. They may have some new customers soon...

Great recovery by Toure there.

Agreed, not superb going forward but they've offered nothing against us. Not on top form and 2-0 up, first time I'm not in the least bit worried about dropping points at half time. I'd even go as far as to say an Italian styled performance.

[Crossie]

Im abit worried we are going to conceed a stupid lazy goal to them and make it much harder than it should be.

60 mins then Bellers and SWP for Barry and Petrov, go for it I say, dont get many games where u can think about making the most of the goal difference.

[carl_feedthegoat]

MOST DISSAPOINTING PLAYER FOR ME IS BARRY...HIS GAME HAS GONE FOR A BALL OF SHIT.

[french_tony]

Ireland and Barry both very poor today. Come on Stevie, find your form again!
