This buffoon thinks that because they beat us recently, that means they'll do well in this years CL... Him, Dzeko, and their manager (we win in Munich) have some very big mouths. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepag...s-Man-City-are-Spurred-on-for-Euro-glory.html Going well eh!
I would love us to return the favour at their ground later in the season. Here's hoping we can put our first team out on that occasion.
Tough group for City and if they can't turn this around, then they simply have to win their next game. 3 points at home in the group games is essential. Man Utd have just been pulled back by Basle. 2-2. Didn't see that coming.
Mancini changed his centre-half pairing and left out Lescott. Strange decision to make. Taking off a forward and putting on a holding midfielder when you're 2-0 down could be a controversial one, too. Sometimes you need to get a foot back in the game and command the midfield though, so it's understandable, if a little counter-intuitive.
Basle just taken the lead! And is it pronounced Basil then? The BBC seem to think so. Always though it was was pronounced Bahl...... And the supporters of the "Big 4" were worried that last season we would damage their precious European Co-efficient. Squad worth £100's of millions and yet to win in the Big Boys Cup.
notsosmartspur: I thought that was being kind to him to be honest. I bet he would love to be an average footballer! Personally I know him as an over-hyped, cart-horse with the skill and touch of drunk elephant....... Though that might not have fitted on the screen.
The ref even had the gall to give a penalty against Man Utd at Old Trafford, Lidls. That's his career over! Would it be fair to say you nearly got Frei-d?
I don't like the current City regime, but a player refusing to play is just disgraceful. They should make the twat and his agents pay back the initial transfer fee and all of his wages, too. Disgusting behaviour. He's as ugly inside as he is on the outside. Mancini can blame himself for a lot of their woes, though. When was the last time that Kolo Toure started a competitive game? Edit: Just checked and he played last week against Birmingham! You get what I mean, though.
