19-6 goal attempts in Man City's favour. They battered them but were undone by Sunderland parking the bus and a dodgy linesman.
How where they the better side? Man City were pressing them back all game. They defended well and deserved a point though.
Thats not their fault, thats down to us
That match seriously reminds me of our 12 point lead season. Heartbreaking injury time losses. History repeating?!
Sunderland, or more appropriately O'neill, got the tactics absolutely spot on, they managed to nullify even the most potent of City attacks, the fact Dzeko is absolutely shocking adds to that but nonetheless they went out with a gameplan and it paid off, they outpassed City in the midfield and didnt give them much room at all, who else have managed to do that this season? They were patient all game and defended very well and the goal came. I was massively impressed. Pardew could take a few notes from O'neill IMO.
And one of the Stoke goals was offside, cant remember which, the penalty at OT and the ball that went out of play at Wolves, oh and the penalty Wolves should have had aswell, theres probably more that I cant think of aswell.
They didn't care when we fully deserved our point at Old trafford though. They just said we were lucky to get the penalty.

They had a few chances, but overall Man City controlled that game.
And Don't bother talking about sour grapes, they made a fair few articles talking about how lucky we were at the start of the season and how we were in a false position.
Give some credit where credit is due. your such a ****ing child
Still though, It's only fair we get to mention their luck because they typed in a load of comments talking about how lucky we were at the start of the season.
There were plenty who were on a wind up though, either that or were just bitter. It came across pathetic when they did it and it's coming across pathetic now you're doing it.
There were plenty of level headed Sunderland fans who were happy to admit that we played well and earned our place at the top. I'm happy to admit that they deserved their victory today, just like we deserved to lose by more than two goals at Anfield.
And that would just make you a massive hypcrite.

I actually did give them credit on their board stating they defended well and deserved something from the game. Get lost.
Sunderland deserved the win because they wanted it more than Man City.
I'm sick of hearing all these arguments about luck. We could talk ages about what decisions have gone our way and what haven't, but at the end of the season teams will be where they are on merit. You can fluke one game but not a season. People are over analysing it.
Interesting fact, just seen on facebook. Ji Dong Wong has scored more goals in 2012 than Messi and Ronaldo combined![]()
