Talk about a mis-match.

I'm fucking petrified of what they're going to do in the summer mate. I'm having terrible visions of us buying Matt Jarvis for £12million, Darren Bent for £20million and then finding out 2 months later that we could have had Soldado for £25million.
FSG must be shitting themselves. They either give Kenny and Commoli what they want, and in all probability see those millions pissed down the drain, or they incur the wrath of the fans and see us persist with the mediocrity we have now. Or of course we have a new manager in who can be trusted to at least buy players with a bit of current and re-sale value. Or they force a different transfer policy on K+C, which will see one, or both, walk
Why am I the only one who can see the solution to City's problems? Popular with players, operates within a budget, given an easy time by the press. McLeish for Manchester City!
More seriously though, City's decline in form is baffling. These same men were tearing up everything for the first half of the season.

While I expect us to beat Bolton tomorrow courtesy of a Papiss Cisse hat-trick, I can see it being tough due to the possibility of not having Cabaye or Tiote. Apparently they're likely to play but there's a chance they might not. Hopefully it's the former as having pretty much a full-strength team (no Coloccini either) would nab us that much-needed victory.
It fell apart when Tevez came back.
At the Sunderland game my dad spoke to Milner. My dad got the impression a fair few of the players are not happy with Mancini for inviting him back in to the fold.
Could have broken Alex Song's leg.....
I hope Arsenal take that shit to the FA and get this asshole what he deserves. He shouldn't play again this season.
It would be really interesting to find out how the Man City players feel about Tevez and now Balotelli. I mean, even on the field Balotelli is just an absolute wanker even to his own team mates. He would be near unbearable off the pitch.
Cup of nations, along with a fall in form from silva didn't help.
messi lookalike should've scored

Tevez came back because you were already falling apart didn't he?
Makes sense. Its tough to see players like Hart and Kompany get a kick in the teeth like that.
Hardly played this season!

Personally I think it slowly but steadily fell apart when JIIIIIIIII scored the last minute winner at Sunderland.
That was a chance for City to leave United trailing in their wake after we messed up at Blackburn but City fluffed their lines. Since then the away form has been really poor. There was the defeat at Everton and Mancini's bizzare "it was my fault" line.
The defeat at Swansea was the tipping point in terms of City capitulating, that sent United into the lead and City just haven't been able to regroup or keep up.
But the loss at Sunderland, after that is when City began to play poorly and look vulnerable IMO.
If the Sox are anything to go by, I wouldn't expect huge investment in the summer, only some smaller squad players. I can't see them persisting with Dalglish after the season ends though, but Comolli might somehow escape the axe.

Is Aquilani ever going to play for us?

Not yet, he's really close though.
Thet Ljajic business still hurts, man.

One game.
Yeah man. That was bullshit on the clubs part. He looks a good player too.

I saw Ljajic play at WHL at the a couple of years ago. He looked very good.
True, but I don't think arbeloa and albiol are doing too poorly (relative to other performances). I would rather see Varane play because he has a lot of pace for a defender and to get more playing time, but last game he still made a few mistakes that opened up the defense.
A lot of bad passes by Madrid so far, poor positioning, poor decisions.
this ain't 2007
Rumours are that he's been spending too much time playing video games, eating bad food and that those are the reasons he hasn't played so much this season.

Madrid need the W tonight. Or they could do a City.

Did the same to use. Essentially knocked us out, the prick
The Fiorentina bench took the piss out of Rafa at that match when he scored. "He'll cost more than £10m now, haha" was allegedly said.
I would love to see Madrid do a City if only to stick it up Mourinho.
It especially hurts when you realize that we bought Tosic in order to buy Ljajic.
He was pretty useless.
HELL NO. I would be disgusted if Mourinho became Arsenal manager, absolutely disgusted.You just wish that your club could attract someone like Mou.
I would much rather either Pep Guardiola or if that wasnt possible Moyes from Everton can have the job.

Get your shit together, Madrid. Can't have this ending up in the hands of Barca again, especially not when you could so easily have had it.

Quico.
I don't care. Pep Guardiola delivers titles too but in a classy, respectful way.Disgusted and with titles
Really. I HATE Mourinho. He's like a poison.
I'm sure he will and hope he does. I also think he might extend it if the next 2-3 years have better fortunes.
