I suppose they had to intervene then because of the nature of the foul (the intent to elbow Mendes was obvious). If Song's leg had been broken on Sunday, I have little doubt that the FA would have reprimanded him regardless of what the referees saw, especially if he hadn't been sent off later in the game.

Decided - not going tonight, fuck it.
You'll miss a famous victory in the flesh...
Yeah. He's quite credible too, I've spoke before about him on here. Got the Nasday and Kunday right amongst other City stuff which turned out right.
He's not a Liverpool fan.

The Marseille side we played was better but we lost because we sucked. Doesn't mean anything though.
Actually, I'm pretty relaxed about tomorrow. We have the better position: At home, 3 points up. If we win, it's pretty much over. A draw, no problem. Even if we lose, nothing's lost in terms of the championship because I'm rather sure Bayern will drop some points.
He's doesn't have to be...
You missed the joke.
I was implying that Liverpool beating Blackburn would be a famous victory.
BTW Hixx, your gif host sucks once again. That one doesn't even load

Seen many, been feeling rough all weekend and would rather stay in and put the boy to bed then just watch it on Sky.
More protests planned so the atmosphere will be shit as well
Shhhh. ArseGAF will go ape shit if you insinuate such a transfer. I will ask him though.
I doubt we will win. A draw would be alright. Im afraid that a defeat would have some impact on those games against madrid. U know, in terms of motivation etc.

I think he's quit the role he was in but is going to stay on in another capacity.
"I cannot hide my disappointment at not moving to Juventus. I believed until the last moment that Wolfsburg and the Bianconeri would reach an agreement above all when the two clubs opened talks for Diego. Unfortunately it didnt go how I wanted it to."
Make it right, Edin.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Probably more a loss of confidence than motivation, though.
Do you think Schweini will start for you? I missed the Augsburg match but I doubt he's somewhere near 100%. So he probably shouldn't start, just like Götze.
"I cannot hide my disappointment at not moving to Juventus. I believed until the last moment that Wolfsburg and the Bianconeri would reach an agreement above all when the two clubs opened talks for Diego. Unfortunately it didnt go how I wanted it to."

Would Dzeko suit Juventus's style of play? I have to be honest, I only really watch Italian teams when they play in Europe.
I went to the City V Juventus game last season. It was awesome and Juventus brought a lot of fans and they were noisy and boisterous.
Del Piero's free kick was INSANE. The Etihad fell silent, well the City fans did anyway.

Can't be worse than Borriello.
Alright Dzeko, we forgive you
because we're so desperate
We need more than Dzeko hmmm.

Can he score goals?
Putting the boy to bed is a worthy substitute. Good on you sir.
Staying on on an advisory role, afaik.

Probably still bad news, Cruyff may have a big ego but he knows football in a way that few do. He is the man responsible more than any for the current Barcelona golden period. God.
I would start with Kroos-Gustavo tbh.

Dzeko should work in Conte's team as a complete centre forward. He's reasonably two-footed, tall and strong in the air, decent with the ball at his feet, and scored more than a goal every two games for Wolfsburg. I haven't kept an eye on him since he went to City, but I suspect he's being wasted there. To be honest, I was more disappointed by our transfer downgrade from Dzeko to Krasic two seasons ago than Aguero to Vucinic this year, as I felt the former was more attainable.
Today he's in the higher end of the bracket that's actually affordable and might even want to move to Juve, and with a few caveats I'd take him ahead of Higuain, even though the latter's out and out strike ratio is much better.

He didnt play for the reserves today. Bit pointless to pull him out of that and to travel with the first team if he doesn't even make the bench.
Yeah, we're buddies with Mino Raiola again apparently. He'll play a huge role for us in the summer with negotiations!
Not bad. Looking forward to see if Shelvey, Maxi and Bellamy will link up as good as they do in my head.
Dzeko is awesome. He has a permanent troll face on. I'll be back with some Youtube links to back this up.
He has to record a short message to a fan who won a competition. He can't do it because he says people are distracting him, so he orders all the City staff out of the reception of the training ground so he can concentrate. Then goes mental when they try and come back in. I love him.

People do realise how bad we are right?
How good is he? In your estimation.
It's Liverpool. You can win this.

Considering the fact we've got nothing to play for in the league I'm disappointed. Shelvey is only 19 but no Sterling? Why? What's the point of just playing this tired shite squad who've made it clear they don't want to turn up in the league any more. Also should've started Aurelio in my opinion, means you only have to make one sub when he gets injured, rather than subbing him on and then off again.
