[BluefromBridgend]

Sunderland draw, if Palace win we could go bottom today.

 

[jck200]

Well that is about the best Ole could do really, if things go wrong he has good players on the bench. It looks like the Newcastle situation all change in the second half.

Just think of doing the double over one of the highest spending team there is.Marshal could be the key to any such dream . Comee on Underdog!

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Bugger, Dzeko 14 minutes - the only way now is up.

 

[roofjack_22]

Marshal's awesome , and there's a good chance that Silva handled the ball on the goal .

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Nooney!!!! Not all one way traffic then.

 

[Masky]

Fug!

 

[Blue Sheep]

Yayaayay. At least we're making a fight of it!

 

[ProjectVRD]

But they are special coming forward aren't they, glad your boys are fighting though. Any result at the Etihad is feel is optimistic hope and that statement comes from experience, we were annihilated 3-0 with 20 shots to 7 and that was a fairly low key game!!!!!!!

 

[Blue Sheep]

Leaking like a ship now.

 

[Blue Sheep]

Decent effort though can't fault the players. Man City are just too good.

 

[Masky]

Campbell...are you watching Bluesheep?

 

[The Exile]

They didn't give up though, Campbell just scored.

 

[The Exile]

Man City were just too good though, 24 shots on goal to 7.

 

[Blue Sheep]

Yeh I am! Your right, good effort from the players to keep going.

 

[BluefromBridgend]

Well beaten, as expected, although certainly not disgraced.

Further strengthening needed to get us back up the table.

 

[roofjack_22]

Tough one guys , ya got a nice goal by the roofer

 

[DaiJones]

We've only scored 17 goals in the league 5 against Man C.

With a more attack minded manager I can see us scoring quite a few more than 17 in the rest of the season

 

[jck200]

So what you are saying is in the two games against them we played attacking football and scored 5 goals?

What happened against the teams we played defensive football?
