*** City v West Ham - Official Match Thread ***

[Ted Hughes]

ATTACKED THE NEAR POST, FUCKING FINALLY.

Exactly.

Is Demichelis playing in midfield or is he just badly out of position ?

This was exactly what he wasn't doing when people with their goals/minute rattle kept going on about how good he was. Glad to see him actually make the hard run and get rewarded for it.

Absolutely.

Get there first rather than hoping the ball goes throug a ruck of players. Harder to score than tapping into an open net but a help for the team.

Just got back from the game . Some fabulous football from us even though West Ham are absolutely shite their keeper kept it down to 6 with several quality saves . Credit also for the away fans the shit they have to follow reminds me of where we were not too long ago . Never forget .

[Bianchi on Ice]

Edin and Negs. a lethal partnership .... Edin mom by a country mile.

That's what I want to see from Edin every game. He was so hungry tonight, worked hard and was desperate to score. Messed up in the first half after sublime work from Nasri but made up for it with one of the cleanest strikes of a football you'll see. On his weaker foot!

Several games he's put a proper shift in now imo & has looked to set Negredo up rather than just playing for himself.

Could it be he has finally realised what we need ?

As for Sam, Hammers deserve better. Sack the fat cunt.[/quote

Im assuming Allardyce's benign post match comments are hiding his real feelings...but then again he is the one that has picked teams that have in effect short changed fans of a club I quite like...so a private bollocking for his team is self defeating. Their squad is unbalanced...they shouldnt be down where they are. Other clubs id rather see go...

[Hutch's Shoulder]

Congratulations to
1. The team and manager on a great win
2. The guy I was talking to before the game who bet on 6-0 at 33/1 (bet you were concerned in the last two minutes in case we got another though)
3. Hammers fans for the great support for their team and the black humour that we once had to rely on to see us through games.
4. Edin for a good performance. Looks like the Bollox yesterday got him going!

It's just a pity I'm on a customer site tomorrow and won't get to share the 'thoughts' of the office rags till Friday.

In his interview Pellers called them wet hat hahahaha

[MilnersJaw]

My rag mate said congratulations on beating west ham with A 100 million squad. Rooney and co must be all home grown.

100m? Tell him we're not broke like they are. The bench probably cost that.

PS Tell him congratulations on losing to Sunderland with their £100m side

Brilliant. Lethal, brutal, clinical.

Negredo exceptional, Nasri superb, Dzeko creative & both Silva and Ya Ya prominent.

Time to cap all these goals and showings with some silverware in March.

[AG7]

Where's the MOTM Poll?
When does one get the permission to create those? Mods??

Nasri for me tonight, was brilliant and behind every move going forward ... will probably get overlooked with all the goal scorers ahead of him but he was fantastic today ... Player of the season candidate at the moment (along with Fernandinho)!

[crowdsway]

Two silvas tonight and the french one got my MOM, That was football sex.

[Twobob]

Simply sublime tonight! Like polar opposites from what we saw at Blackburn - total dominance of the game like i don't think I've ever seen before!

Actually where is the mom thread tonight? Would have been an interesting one.

Blackburn were miles better defensively on the day than most Prem teams we face, on a small, difficult pitch. Worked harder & were better organised & stronger.

I don't think they got the credit they deserved.

[bigblue]

The Beast was just following orders

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Our sixth goal tonight was a great sum up of just how much our attacking play has improved this season. First the back heel by loves was sublime. The run by kolarov was superb and dzeko cleverly holds his run whilst the two defenders marking him raced towards the goal. Kolarov then looks up and picks him out and dzeko finishes brilliantly.

Couldn't disagree with any of this. Dzeko excellent off the ball again, fat sam a disgrace. I hope the Hammers stay up but I hope that fat piece of shit gets the sack soon.

[Peter Doherty (AGAIG)]

Also don't know where to put it but messi is back... Two goals off the bench..

Is that within the rules of the game?

[roblues]

I assume we fucked this up. I only read the first page.

[Bleed_Blue]

Dzeko did really well today, want him to put in more good performances make Pellegrini think twice on best parternship

Aguero - Negredo
Aguero - Dzeko
Negredo - Dzeko

Dont you all start of with Negredo is superb, I know that, but great that Dzeko is playing good enough to make us think(initial thoughts - not implement) about it

Tie down Dzeko and Lescott for longer period.

Somehow I felt that Demi(talking about the guy who occasionally misplaces his passes) playing in midfield was more confident with the ball than Garcia. If he works on that he might play much better.

[Bleed_Blue]

If you have not watched Garcia interview on city page do watch it

NMC - "Your english is improving"

Garica - "Yea, I Improve a little bit, but sometimes its so difficult for me. But the only thing I can improve is this, to improve to do interviews in front of the camera"

I am not making fun of him, appreciate him trying to speak in English for all of us and love him for that :)
