***official City v Rags FA Cup thread***

[Sideshow Bob]

They fucking kick the shit out of us and not a sniff of a yellow card!!

[DoomMerchant]

No midfield.. Missing Yaya.. Feeling depressed..

sadly, sans Yaya we may see more of this in the next month.

Is Mancini playing a political game to move Tevez on to get DeRossi in here ASAP because he is scared of the whole left by Yaya, and is using this match to prove it? Brings Machiavellian to a whole nother level in my book.

cheers

Disgusted in Mancini...how can he replace a keeper? why ? can someone tell me why ?

[Douglas Higginbottom]

eeez normal

[DoomMerchant]

No need to take hart out , no need to take clichy out...hes done both.

When Mancini fucks up he fucks up big time.

maybe he fucks up to get Tevez moved on and get DeRossi in here next week asap? he's picked a side that could have won in his mind. BUT, if we're exposed...it's a cup, not the league. Trust me...he'd rather win the league and only the league than have 3 pots from 3 cups that we were still in at the beginning of the day. I'm sure of that.

we've seen Mancini do this a lot...this isn't new behavior from him folks.

Never have I been so fucked off watching us against this shower of shit and and would have to agree with everybody that has mentioned anything about the following:

The team selection has been shite - Kolarov,Nasri and de Jong are so badly off the pace it it untrue. Kolarov should never put the shirt on again for the first team.

The referee - What more can I add? If I wasn't convinced about a conspiracy theory prior to the game, I certainly am now. Disgraceful decision!!

I have had to come away from the TV for the first time ever when we are on because otherwise I would put my foot through it and I have the in-laws round today.

Disgusted in Mancini...how can he replace a keeper? why ? can someone tell me why ?

Only because you know before kick off that we have no chance of winning, its like a form of protest.

Anyone else noticed that we cannot play well against team who play us on the break? Napoli started it, all bunch up in midfield , eventually win the ball and break through us, we are shit at defending it.

Scum have done their research, happy to let us play about and hit us on the break, now its even easier.

Mancini fucked up again by not making immediate changes following the Red. Milner is not a right back, and the midfield needs Milner like a fucking frog needs water right now. Some balls in the middle of the pitch are needed.

Kolarov needs putting down, I told my united mate that Valencia would rape him all day long.

[Bridge'srightfoot]

Nothign to do with the keeper. Hargreaves to come on and score 4.

[DoomMerchant]

eeez normal

eggsackly my friend.

[Mike J]

Can't believe are blaming the keeper here.

The ref is the main culprit but

Mancini- why fuck with the team for the derby you twat.

Kolarov- utter garbage, I mean this guy is dog shit.

De Jong- fuck off if you want to tackle like that.

Nasri- pussy

[Blue Blood]

That decision to send Kompany off has killed the game.


If this ends 6-0 or whatever that cuntish ref is totally to blame.

[Pretty Boy Lee]

Is it too much to chuck coins st the cubt at full time?

I seriously want to see that referee hurt.

None of those goals were Pantillmons fault. I don't really think even Mancini was to blame here, we were comfortably in control, playing to our game plan and it looked like we were going to take them apart. You can't account for your captain getting incorrectly sent off ten minutes in.

[PeterParker]

I was looking on the site of the FA and Vinnie will be suspended 4 games: the double with Dippers and Wigan and Spuds. Horrible.

An excellent post, sir. How much unnecessary space is either full-back (especially Kolarov) giving away today perfectly illustrated with their first? Don't blame Milner as much as it is not his natural position and Mancini has fucked up ny not addressing this by making the relevant subs.

[Esky]

According to BBC, Kompany will miss four because it's his second red this season.

[Dameerto]

Do we have the right to appeal a straight red?

[Crossie]

So it fucks up our entire season due to the African Cup timing??

Who can come in and centre back? Not Richards.

[Bluez]

Keeper was not to blame for either goal. The first was not closing down enough. Once Kompany was sent off it meant we would have 80 mins on a wet heavy pitch, fucked. If Foy isn't going to give cards for tackles likes Giggs behind on Aguero we are doubly fucked.

Might as well take off and rest Silva and Aguero bring on Zabba and Clichy.

That rounds off a terrific first half. Can we not appeal against this ridiculous/bent decision?
