I'm not sure what you mean a guards honor?
Damn. You woke up so early for this one too.

GET BENT CUNTS. WE'RE WINNING TOMORROW AND MY UNITEDBROS ARE COMING TO INVADE THIS THREAD TO CELEBRATE OUR 20TH TITLE.
They had a meltdown.
Kompany had his worst 5-10 minutes of the season which cost them 2 goals.
More like fuck Astori, really. An own goal and now he ruined the offside trap.
Kompany happened
No doubt
Complete tactical ineptitude from Mancini, among other reasons, completely threw this game away.
I don't know how the press laud Toure so often - I watched him against Chelsea, Wigan and today and he did one thing in those three matches; set up Nasri's goal against us. For a player with so much talent and ability he is the laziest and most ineffectual player otherwise. Barry was awful - Kompany and Nastasic looked comfortable until a half decent striker came on.
Dzeko may as well have collected his P45 as he was going off the pitch as well.
But Mancini, for all his posturing about teams roll over against United, stood by and watched his side (completely dominant for 60 minutes) start to concede territory. Did he bring on Garcia to help the midfield? Did he release Toure further forward where he can hurt teams? No - he stood motionless in his technical area and watched his side concede 3 goals in 8 minutes.
Simply awful from Man City - never rely on a bunch of players with no hunger to do you favour. I guess now we have to beat Liverpool.... which never happens.

Adebayor that fucking vacuum went off. Likewise fucking Parker.
Kyle Walker featured less in the game.
Holtby (running like a fucking mentalist), Huddlestone (passing with some fucking heft and authority) and Defoe (shagger, goalscorer) came on.
And like Moobabe says, City let it happen. Lack of heart on the pitch, lack of brains off it.
Gave up a shitty goal where Bale rolled a ball all the way across the pitch behind 3 defenders (Kompany mostly at fault). A few minutes later, Defoe has a 1 on 1 with Kompany at edge of box, doesn't close down and he gets it on his left foot then scores. About 2 minutes later Bale gets loose and runs, Hart comes out at him but Bale chips it over.
3 goals in 7 minutes after City were up essentially the entire game. Gutted.

And when he sacrificed a vital Champions League goal to keep his nose in shape
Where the opposing team has to do this at the start:
I read somewhere that the tradition in football is for teams to do it for the champions, but I can't remember if it was something that happened in every game if a team wins it with numerous games in end.

Go back to /sp/.
Fucking City man, you just had to lose the plot. United next week...FUCK.
This one wasn't a FK.. just a long shot from Ronaldo where Vinnie inexplicably ducked out of the way.
We were up 2-1 in that one until they tied it in the 85th minute if I recall. Then Ronaldo scored in stoppage to win.. that was a really low moment for City fans.Sleeplessnights

I'd be all for it personally. I think this loss is going to really put Mancini on the ropes. What Pellegrini has done with Malaga is incredible.

How often do you get a manager being booed by the fans of his own team, while the opponents sing for him?

Ha, it was a reference to Malaga's match yesterday. He is better than Mancini though.
