The Prophet

A point here and a win against Wigan and my pants will probably be wet.

I've notice Simpson runs like he's shit himself. It's like a weird scuttle.

I'd go: Krul Simpson Taylor Colo Santon Jonas Tiote Cabaye Marveaux Best Ba

You mean Peter 'Passenger' Lovenkrands?

Personally thought he was sloppy today. Great gaol mind.

wrong. Do elaborate.

We absolutely bossed the first half. Wolves, as you'd expect came at us first ten minutes but once we settled we took command of the game, Tiote in partiuclar was excellent. Second half the game plan changed, to me it looked as though we were trying to sit deep and pick them off on the counter. In fairness it worked for twenty five minutes to half an hour and Ba should of put the game to bed, but the longer it went on the deeper we dropped and looked more and more like conceding. In the end we were lucky to escape a point given the decision to disallow the Wolves second. Krul 9 - Made some brilliant saves and took some brilliant catches. The reaction save with his foot to keep it the deflected effort in the first half was particularly good. I'm probably being ultra picky here but he could of done a little better for the goal, he practically collapsed on top of the ball. Even then it wasn't his fault, good game. Simpson 6 - Made some great last ditch tackles in the eighteen yard box and generally looked solid defensively. Woeful going forward, no ability on the ball at all. Plus he runs like he's s*** himself. Taylor 8 - Did really well for me. Some brilliant blocks, dominant in the air and comfortable on the ball. Coloccini 7 - Solid for the most part but let Doyle slip a couple of times. Taylor 6 - Same as Simpson really, there was one particularly good block that prevented a goal. Got rinsed by Hamill a couple of times in the second half though and they generally bullied him at the back post on the end of crosses from the other flank. Obertan 5 - Again some neat and tidy stuff but he's such a frustrating footballer. He lacks intelligance with his runs, often follwoing other players about as well as his delivery being p*ss poor for the most part. Tiote 8 - Probably our best outfield player. Vintage Cheik really. Cabaye 6 - Decent first half, kept things ticking over as per. Second half whether by instruction or his own accord he dropped way too deep which contributed to the late panic. Jonas 6 - For the most part I thought he was pretty poor, needlessly losing possession on a number of occasions. However he nabbed a quality match winner so I'll give him a six. Ba 6 - Grabbed a goal, his all round play was alright too. He should of put the game to bed in the second half. criminal that he didn't even hit the target really. Best 6 - His hold up play was excellent. Showed that he has good feet on a number of occasions too. Played well without ever really threatening the goal. Pardew 4 - It may seem harsh given we've won the game but his tactics nearly cost us. Our game plan in the second half worked for the most part but nearly cost us dearly, his subs were woeful, Lovenkrands was a passanger when we desperately needed someone in the middle who get get his foot on the ball annd maintian possession.

Mike is such a fat headed cunt.

Where is this moralistic sense of class come from?

Kid Icarus, You ought need to change Woodgate on your top 11 list and replace him through Collocine. Woodgate didn;t give us an ounce of wht Colo did. Even Ability wise I will pick Colo anyday over Woodgate. Wut

You're one of the better mag posters on there like, at least you add something and not just on the wind-up like at least 3 other posters from this forum. Ironic.

Can't underestimate how vital Silva is to them not only productively and functionally, but also aesthetically. Feel sorry for him having to deal with Gareth Barry on a regular basis in the midfield. Yep Silva as a player is a joy to watch, Man City as a functioning football team are not.

Of course there's loads of them, like a box of hamsters they are.

Man City aren't particularly good to watch at all.

Jesus wept.

Shouldn't of bet tonight, foolish.

Both Valencia and Chelsea to score Milan/Milan Shakhtar

Chelsea's squad under Mourinho was probably better like.

Mancini seriously needs to give the guy a good roundhousing.

Everything that is wrong with the modern game personified. A proper ringpiece. Absolutely.

Good job I stuck the house on 3-3. Thought I was homeless for a minute there, alas I can sleep easy tonight.

Too easy for Munich, didn't leave second gear.

Glory hunters gunna glory hunt.

Seriously though, a side with Toure, Barry and Milner on is never going to get out of that group, too many passengers. Well played Fwank.
