But they do count if we are assessing whether we deserved to win the game or not. Not just the middle bit counts, the whole thing does. We did create more than Villa & we did deserve to win.
The manager does not tell the players to stop working. They can't do it.

Fuck the fucking lot of them, I thought we deserved it and Villa were lucky, just. The way the Rag scum carry on you'd think they want us to lose and be well away from the top 4!
Do you remember the days of the Sky 4, Rags, Arse, Dippers & Chavs? Fuck, how much would these fuckers like to see the old regime back to normal.
Thank fuck for City, we have made it really happen.
If you thought we deserved it, your blue tinted specs really have no limits
We were fucking abject, the only good thing on our horizon was that we kept playing bent eke offside, and even that went tits up and should have resulted in a penalty and sending off for hart.
On the topic of hart, couple of good interventions, but aside from that my God he was fucking horrendous

Watch out fella's, Nigella's Tickle will start a thread dedicated to calling you a cunt for daring to speak the truth about Joe the clown and his flippy flappy comedy capers .

We each had 4 shots on target, Villa had more shots off target than us - Villa also had more possession than us. Pellegrini described it as one of our worst performances while in possession and I agree with him.

Some people.
Some people bury their heads in the sand whilst others see a very disappointing performance amidst many other disappointing performances and worry about the pattern. The last two games have been virtually identical to those that went before, other than the outcome, it doesn't mean the problem has gone away does it?
You make good contributions to footballing discussions, yet a seemingly clever bloke can't see any problem with what is on the pitch, just because we got 3 points - that's blue tinted specs defined right there
Considering even Pellegrini found the performance disappointing, you seem to be in a minority of 1 who saw nothing wrong with yesterday's performance

I don't usually get that way but I'll admit, that wasn't the best. We seemed to take it easy, knowing we are winning. We didn't try to get forward and allowed them space. Villa have a game plan which is similar to what we've seen for years but that fuck-up let us in.
It said it all when Kolarov had a throw-in and said 'For Fuck Sake' as nobody was moving for him. No wonder we're saying that Pellers is here next season!
On hart, he did really well to smother the ball on two occasions that's his strength and there's probably few better, but beyond that, his kicking and general decision making was again, a disgrace, a total and utter fucking disgrace. I'm not even particularly pissed off with him about their goals, I'm just really fucking annoyed about the fact that he loses posession for us every time he touches it.

He did not lose possession for us every time he touched the ball. He passed it short as often as he could but when the midfield is as lethargic as ours is, he has no choice but to punt it long or he'll put our defenders under unnecessaryu pressure. His aim was poor yesterday, I can agree with that, but it doesn't really help when the receiving city players are 50 centiimeters long and Agüero does not even bother to fight for the ball. If you look at the replays you'll see he more than not does an adebayor and can't even be bothered and lets the oppo players step in infront of him. And the height is perhaps an explanation but not an excuse, as Tevez could play target player under Mancini and did it with some aplomb if I remember correctly. Then when Bony came on we started winning more of those long balls because he was able but also willing to fight for them.

Worst atmosphere? Wasn't great, but I thought it was one of the best this season. Even the standing section did some singing
Atmosphere was brilliant considering & fair play to the South Stand mob for getting the whole ground (except Victor) singing.
Pity Joe Hart intervened just as the whole ground was really starting to kick off. Augurs very well for next season when the singing section is officially opened though. Optimistic we may get some proper atmos back next season after seeing that today.
We really do need some fresh blood in the team though; ran out of legs after ten mins again & Aguero again was unfit & just making the best of it. Another 5 or 6 near post goals went begging.
The spontaneous gasp of incredulity wh8ch went round the ground when Kolarov was announced as motm was funny.
I agree totally about Aguero, but this just begs the question about Harts decision making to keep booting the fucking thing to a midget!
Every time we go under pressure, Hart's head goes and he starts booting the fucking thing aimlessly, at which point the ball comes straight back because we don't have any presence in the area he's kicking it. Not just yesterday, but time and time again the pattern is the same.

When the midfield and the defense provides outlet, he usually uses it. It's when they don't provide outlet he punts it. And I think we all agree that he shouldn't punt it to Yaya. Hence, the alternative is a bunch of short players who don't put up a fight. With Bony, it's a completely different scenario.
Mase wrote:Was Villa's first goal offside? How many times has this happened to us this season? Is anything going to happen to these officials that keep fuckin up?!
I agree, but if his 4 defensive outlets are marked, that means that there must be at least 2 players missing from the opposition midfield, space which can be exploited by a clever pass into the space rather than just the big hoof
