City have gone to shit.

Yeah, I've had to correct a lot of people this week who said that Man United were crap. Our midfield and Ba certainly made them look a lot worse than they really are. I seriously think they could have been turned over today though.

As much as Man United fans are going to hate people saying it, the only reason they're winning this, let alone 3-0 up is the fact that Kompany went. Doesn't matter what score it is nowm the decision has ruined the best tie of the round.

lol, no red?

Not really off the ground, its studs showing but not jumping in imo. They were def both off the ground. Not really jumping in though, if it was a full on jump then thats the dangerous tackle or excessive force, it was free kick but that was all imo. I don't think he intended to hurt him or anything, and it was maybe a little harsh, but for the sheer fact that both feet were off the ground, I can see why he was sent. It looked like he lost control a bit. Its the intent thing too, as a ref you have to way everything up, was he in control of the tackle, was he intending to hurt the player, did he go in with he studs showing, how forceful was the tackle, what the conditions are like if very wet. Like you i can see why he was sent off but waying up all those i didn't think it was a red, or a yellow tbh. Weigh* ;-) He was sent off because Rooney asked for it, simple as.

Haven't really looked like scoring though. I can't really understand Nasri's role in this side.

Not as good as Demba's though.

Good goal that. Pointless game after the sending off though.

I wouldn't mind if the ref had even seen it as a foul. He was playing on until Rooney got in his face.

Same.

Couldn't think of a worse team to play against without a single centre back in the team. Have to say they got a bit lucky with the timing of our injuries. Ahh well, fuck it. At least Ashley can't sell Colo in January now.

Awful awful awful challenge. No need for that at all.

Bergamo is a lovely place to live though, and close enough.

If people want to get really picky, flying to Argentina from Italy is actually an hour quicker than flying from the UK. So there.

Beye, Bassong, Coloccini, Enrique That was our defence

I'd take 0-0 right now.

We're in the top 4, and we've got Perch, Raylor and Loven on the pitch.

Surely Santon would have been the better option?!

I came on here to talk about football, then saw this thread. Puts things into perspective now, and I've completely lost interest even thinking about football. One of my absolute footballing heroes, and I'm simply astonished by this news. Gutted doesn't even begin to describe it

"Tiredness and injuries do not excuse poor ball retention and tactics" Of course they do.

If thats the case, you're worse off than even I thought. Wonder who you'd choose ? Cabaye or Fellini (an italian film director ? Bit old and fat, wouldn't he be ?) That wasn't me by the way ;-)

It is quite unintentionally amusing. In keeping with the average Everton fan in my experience. The comment about the next few matches for us is nothing more than everyone else is saying. But i wish someone would give him another few straws to grasp at ! We've only played shit teams, clearly. Funny how the fans of teams we have just beaten join in with that. Doesn't say much for them does it.

You only ended up bossing it because Cabaye went off, and we also had Tiote out injured. These players are vital to our team and not having them makes a massive difference. We can barely see you all the way down in 16th. And we had no Fellaini who is just as vital to us. 16th I see. You're in massive trouble if you play like that every week. One of the worst teams we've played against this season, easily.

Daft lad.
