Seeing as half of them wont even make the bench , I doubt that it had anything to do with the game this weekend.

They just played shite , end of.
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

Micah and Milner had very good games

Kolarov, Kolo, Garcia, Dzeko and Maicon can all fuck off in the summer - not even good enough to be on the bench never mind starting games.

I thought Rodwell played very well especially considering it was his first game back since his injury. Yet again, however, we missed too many chances - story of our season and why we haven't won the league

Mancini did his best to lose 2 points by going with 3 at the back again - we lost all cohesion and played shit, it looked like nobody knew what they were doing and I can't for the life of me understand why he persists with this shit 3-5-2 bollocks

Not a great performamce by any means but I'm just relieved we got the 3 points. Disappointed with the performances of some of the fringe players who you'd have thought would have busted a gut to impress the management but instead proved exactly why they start so few games

Errr... what a different view from specs to specs...

I thought that switching to back 3 saved the night and prevented further embarrassment from Kolo, constantly overtaken by whoever pointed at him.

I enjoyed the last 25 minutes of the first half, when arsed.
and I also think that Carl, who's indisputably a man, should come and lick Lescott out.... :-)

3. "never once fails to turn a football thread into a himseelf thread"
4. "thumbs stalker often resulting in repetitive thumb strain"
5. ignore the cunt. he's on permantent wum mission. only TIDs may know City

You'd need to make a very good psychiatrist in order to guess what next in a eight yrs long line of hatred...

there must be some truth, then!

Rather have pie eaters stay up than Brummies or Geordies, at least you can understand them.

Chalk up another win while playing 3 at the back. It cops a lot of criticism, but it gets results.

Really? Thought we were terrible until we went to 3 at the back, at which point we got a grip in midfield and after that it was all us.

I don't like when we start with 3, but it was a perfect tactical change and credit to Mancini for spotting it.

I just don't understand why Mancini took him off at half time considering he'd scored.

After the initial lethargic start we took control and forced the play. We got what we deserved and went on to win the game. I never felt as though they'd get anything from the game, even when they put us under pressure.

3 points gained and another one in the bag, that's what counts at this time of season.

Can't wait for Sunday now and regardless of the score, It should be another special day for all Blues concerned.


I hope you're not going to the match on Sunday..... you may be disappointed ;-)

We couldn't defend for shit once we went 3 at the back and I found the final 20 mins extremely nerve racking. At least it wasn't cold

Played the B team, Tevez, Nasri and Milner all came through unscathed, we won and secured CL qualification. All in all a successful night.

Cracking cameo from Maicon which was like something out of a Monty Python skit. Absolutely laughable. We should have subbed him he was that awful.

You do realise we went to 3 at the back after about 15 minutes of the first half?
