My point is exactly what I say Moonchesteri. Last season everyone remembers how distraught and dejected we were with the dropping of two points against Sunderland. However it wasnt until the 3 or 4 weeks later when everything pans out how important getting that point was.
Yes it would be lovely to only be a point behind come Sunday night...and it is likely to be the scenario Kiers presented. But for us to automatically think Fulham and Southampton will roll over and die is disrespectful to them and their fans. We'll also have to work hard against the dippers.
Tonight we've played without our talisman and his young deputy in defence. Their replacements did an admirable job. but the various changes will have unsettled the team to a degree. We didn't do well, so what! It's not the end of the world yet.
If it is...close the gates, turn the lights out and lets get some skiing in before the Cricket season starts.
Until we are in the mire, lets try and be positive eh?

I swear if Mancini wants to keep his job he better close that gap before May.
On the other hand, it could be just a point.
Please give me some of what you're having tonight. I need some too

Am I right in suggesting we are 6 games running with a clean sheet, 9 hours of football? Not the City I grew up with, for sure. Ok, it's a bastard result, but 9 hours? Remarkable.

We need the rags to seriously fuck up. That has been the case since we lost to them & Sunderland & drew with Everton. In a normal season, from now on, both sides would win most games, with an occasional fuck up here & there. That is most likely what will happen, but we need more. We need them to have more than an occasional fuck up & more like a couple of stinkers, like at Newcastle last season. If we can just get close, they will shit themselves but if they keep that gap for much longer, it's us who are under pressure rather than them.
We need something to go badly pear shaped for them.

True, that's life at the top but the thing is just hang in there & see what happens. If we can't win it, lets have a strong finish & try to improve again for next season. I'm not downhearted if we don't win it, provided we keep moving forward. I just don't like those turds to get it.

We pressured them well and had nearly 3 times as many chances as them (on their manor). The problem seemed to be the starting line-up as we've had a winning side since the start of the year. Dzeko and Tevez have been working a partnership only to be changed (rotated) because Aguero is back. That's another one where we know who's contract has been tainted.
Overall, though, a point against a dogged team where we had the majority of play. We forced the play but couldn't take advantage of the game away from home. Old 'Arry will spin it as a victory but reality will state that they were lucky to be 4 points off relegation.

Too subtle for me, what does that mean?

Ain't got a clue, that's why it's subtle!

Lovely Beefy, never fail to bring me a good laugh.... :-)
I'd have mentioned a couple of indecent failures by Sergio, in that otherwise perfect summary.
There we always go, same as last season at Munich and many other wasted occasions.
Well... someone, who has decided that he loves FFP more than me, would say it's a long learning curve, I guess.

You cant score without bunch of those.
Fuck that if the only good pass is the ones of Milner to Dzeko, which by the way, 9 out of 10 forwards would fail to receive.
We create nothing. Mancini said that we should have scored 4 goals... I cant remember which four chances he was talking about.
Yes, maybe Nasri has some of the blame for that, he is the one beside Silva that should create someting, make an extra man... We simply didnt create anything.
BTW we needed the tall guy in the box all night, starting with two small forwards was a mistake in my book.
But also, what was that with taking Tevez of for Rodwell? Tevez can always score, change the match.
I blame the manager for these two points.

Shite result and has handed all the momentum back to the rags.
