Away Toon

Excellent they decided to give us a goal back for the two we gave them in Lisbon

Who was the dick who disagreed about Cisse play being unintelligent? Ronald's. you cannot not check the line and your runs as often as he does.

Cisse is such an unintelligent player

Bigi might not be the greatest player in the world but he deserves better than to be played as a right winger for fuck sake

You have to admire Benfica, they could just play defensively and play for the draw, however they are going for it and look like scoring, which is more than can be said for us

Why are we so dull and boring to watch?

The lack of movement and inability to pass the ball is frightening

Is it true that they are planning on a minutes silence before the game for Thatcher? I would have thought that would go down very badly.

It's true this is a very low standard Premier League, illustrated by results in the Champions League.

City the better team, how they are so far behind only Mancini knows

City have been the better team and then your goalkeeper goes and does that.

Awful from Hart.

It's a good positive approach by City, more teams should go to Utd and have a go at them, rather than just roll over.

There is absolutely no consensus at all on this thread, as the voting illustrates. Can't we have a simple Pardew Yes or No, if not close it.

Anita's been good especially at right back.

It bit of luck and then a moment of class from Cisse who could have and should have had a hat trick.

Marveaux by far the best player we have on the pitch.

Cabaye thinks he's Stevie fucking Gerrard, hollywood passes and shooting wildly from anywhere.

pretty decent display from Simpson, not the worst player we have by far.

Shola that's an awful miss you pillock

if the mackems lose a point might be a good result here, mind you Cisse should have had this game finished a long time ago.

Better start, we need a big dose of luck from somewhere, anything, a penalty, deflected goal, own goal just anything.

Ask Kenwright, I've no fucking idea. Why do people want to argue about the indefensible? Even if you can find an excuse for the results this season, surely nobody can defend the negative aimless horrible football we play.

Mick's post pretty much sums it up for me. I don't believe that he's a good manager particularly, and don't think he will improve. We have some good players, playing the least entertaining football in the Premier League. Not only is it horrible to watch, we are in serious danger of being relegated. With any other owner (one who hadn't given his manager a 8 year contract) he'd have been sacked, as have lots of other managers down at the bottom with us.

Pardew saying he thinks Taylor was really unlucky with the penalty decision. The deluded twat should be sacked for that alone.
