John Dunbar
correct about everything
beautiful corner.
Then send him back!!!!!!
We could use the Nasri of 2 years ago in our current squad. Your toxic environment is slowly poisoning him is the problem.

The empire has prevailed, poor rebels (and my free time) :|
Wasn't a great performance by any means but we'll take the win. Unlucky to not have a few more goals -- Guzan was fantastic. Fortunate they didn't get the late penalty.
Neither team can really take many positives out of that. City looked pretty poor throughout and only got their goal through a defensive slip up, while Villa look pretty woeful. Lambert's gamble of going for youth from lower leagues just hasn't paid off. Been pretty unlucky with Vlaar out for long periods and of course Petrov, there's some wise old heads there that he could have done with.
You got the Nasri who was at Arsenal.
He was never worth his hype but still better than Gervinho or our current players not including Santi.

It was a good match for Benteke to show off his skills as a potential Lewandowski successor (fending for himself, holding balls) and I did see glimpses of quality here and there, but tbh, I'd much rather we signed someone more experienced proven.

David villa for götze.
To be honest he's very good and he'll thrive at a better team with better service. He'd probably do very well at Dortmund.

City look shit.
Does Nasri ever play centrally at City? I know Mancini doesn't really believe in formations or wingers or any of that fancy stuff, but the only time Nasri ever looked world-class was when he was playing centrally (and Cesc was injured) as a number 10-type iirc. Not unlike Arshavin.

I saw City smash Spurs a while back at WHL. It was arguably the most impressive team performance I've seen in recent memory; the football was so silky. In other news,
I think we would be singing the praises of Arteta (again) if he was playing in his old position.
I'm interested in hearing about the player dc and seemingly Mancini thought he was getting.
He is quite soft spoken as is Kolo (even more so). Very unexpected.

Hmm, I see. I guess I need to watch more Villa games then.
The rumors are currently pointing to him, Dzeko or Hanover's Diouf atm.
Was expecting something sounding like AVB

On a Monday right? I'll get to watch it then.
Can we have won the title by then? I want a guard of honour.
Oh dear lord.

I have been shamefully working this out and I don't think it's likely - or winning it on the night. We've got about 6 games after that and I don't see City dropping more points than us up til then.

Yeah I do too, looks like he's going to be one of those players.
If you guys had to pick a side from the Premier League to play against a rest of world XI for some reason, who would it be? Like, Mignolet's been the best keeper this season for me but I wouldn't pick him. Would also have to be a proper team that could actually work as opposed to fucking morons at the back of FourFourTwo putting Messi and Ronaldo up front in a 4-4-2 formation. I'll give it a think.
Spurs are one of them right?
Whatever it is, you're scoring twice. Don't be scurred.
So if they lose one before then and now, and we win all our games up until that match and then win that match... its a possibility?

Rodlol is a younger version of Hargreaves
City's next 4 away fixtures:
Everton
United
Spurs
Swansea
But they're a good team so we can't just assume that they'll drop points in these matches. They're certainly not easy fixtures though.
Just went through the fixtures and it looks like it was his 13th as far as I can tell. Pantilimon has 3 in the FA Cup games.
City have 10 clean sheets in Nastasic's 17 games. What a star.
