Looking forward to the big game tomorrow. Hoping for a Man city win because it's the best from our perspective, but also it would even up the race and make it more interesting. I would absolutely hate it if Manutd won, I'm going to watch it tomorrow with a Manu fan and he will be so smug if they win.

 

As for today, good to see Torres playing well AND scoring. Luiz was largely responsible for the goal we conceded, really don't like him playing at CB, just not safe enough and we always look vulnerable when he's playing there. I really would like to see him play as a midfielder, just to see how he does. And we've got the world club championships coming up soon, should be pretty fun. Never heard of any of the teams we're playing though, well apart from Corinthians.

Luiz is sh*t imo.

 

 

Big game for us tomorrow. Can't wait. Still sticking to a draw.

[JOSEPH X]

What was the round-up music on last night/today's Match of the Day. Y'know the clip they talk over saying what's coming next etc.

 

I'm thinking Jay-Z or 50 cent or Mark Ronson.

[Waddy]

Can just see the derby being a bore fest.

 

I think the Everton Spurs game will be decent match, should be a few goals and its always a good fight...Spurs may edge it on current forum and us not scoring when needing to.

I reckon a draw. Mostly due to my selfish wishful Gooner perspective on things.

 

Nah in all honesty I reckon you guys may do it today.

Yeah but I am hoping we will be in the mix with Spurs come the end of the season!

[Domeux]

Not long now, ladies.

 

My facebook news feed, which is usually full of City, Arsenal, Liverpool and United fans throwing digs back and forth, is like a ghost town this morning. No one wanting to be left with egg on their face.

 

Probably my last post before the match. CAAAAAAAAAMON CITY!

[Crokey]

I'm going for draw myself, or a controversial decision will go their way or against us, ie dodgy penalty or sending off.

[Miro]

City down to 2 already. The first goal of Rooney was just funny, Hart was like "oh, thought the bar was closer"

[Domeux]

Holy sweet nipples. We're 2-0 down. From what I heard we started alright too.

 

Looks like it's going to be that lot causing our first home loss in ages (league).

I'm still going for a draw.

Rooney has really stepped up since Ferguson spoke out about him credit to him.

I think it happened when he got the England captaincy too, he was a model player. You can look at how he plays now and see how professional he is, he is maturing!

[Ari Gold]

Nah, last half an hour City have become flatter than a pancake. Champions League City were subbed on for league-winning City after Rooney scored that opener. But, it's derby day so really anything can happen. For the sake of my prediction league points, which have been drummed around this week-end, I wouldn't be entirely disappointed if City attempted to make the game interesting again.

Good luck with that.

 

At this time I'd take leaving it at 2.

[Seddo]

What the hell is wrong with Hart this season? pretty much a world class top 3 keeper last season in my opinion but he seems to be drifting into some sort of averageness and way below par from his usual standards similar to Reina.

 

 

We're going with the ol' 4-6-0 formation today, all hopes of a win rest on us keeping a clean sheet i reckon.

[flitcroft101]

He doesn't seem to trust his defence anymore.

 

 

edit: WTF just happened

 

United had it in the back of the net, offside. Then suddenly City have it in the back of the net.

Ashley Young on onside there, wasn't he? Looked like the far defender was keeping him well onside.

[Domeux]

Sick.

[Miro]

...and Van Persie gives the knockout blow. Great match! City could have won the match if they would have scored at least once in the first half. Poor Ferdinand, that City fan treated him like he'd have scored the last one, and not Van Persie.

I called it.

[Seddo]

How many of RVP's shots get deflected and go in, seems to get one every week or so.

Go on, what happened this time? Didn't see it for all the smoke and missiles.

 

sh*t happens.

 

RVP happens

 

Edit: Taking nothing for granted at this stage of the season, mind. Especially considering what happened last year. 6 points is f*ck all in December.

That goal was made at Arsenal.Clichy had another Birmingham moment.RVP free kick touched home by Nasri.Arsene will be pleased

[A J]

The wall didn't do it's job very well, Nasri stuck his leg out hopefully, which then actually helped the ball go in. Hart looked dodgy, through out. City's best player by far was Zabaleta, great goal too.

 

Lucky United.

Lucky United.

 

F*cking delighted with that win. Deserved imo. Young had a goal disallowed so it would have been unfair if we hadn't have won.

Either way...

[Domeux]

Just watch the highlights. That defending for the second goal.....

 

Can't say I'm that worried. Gutted to lose to united, and in that manner, but last season after the 1-6 we were 5 points ahead, then a week or so later we got to be 8 points ahead. Then united turned it around and were 8 points ahead of us. Then we clawed that back.

[4 Bagger]

I'm still surprised that we haven't drawn at all this season. Just hoping not to have too many more losses this season.

[rhyn]

Unreal game, United were the better team for the most part. If it had ended a draw after that disallowed goal I'd have gone cracked. Rooney starting on a nice scoring run now too. Good times.

[4 Bagger]

Ignore the stupid writing. Respect for Joe Hart for this.
