City were just very, very poor.


Big mistake from Mancini was to replace injured Santa Cruz with Robinho and not Benjani after what, ten minutes. No focus and the whole team's heads dropped.


Having said that he then took Robinho off, not a happy bunny. Anyone want a shop soiled show pony?


edit> should have said Everton were excellent from the off, all over City. Massive missed opportunity for City with Spurs and Liverpool results, play like that against the RAGS on Tuesday, kids or not, and we'll get hammered.

First I've heard of it but you only have to look at his body language to see his sense of frustration at recent events at Anfield. They rely on his him and Torres too much.


I'm pretty damned frustrated myself at the Spurs result yesterday but having watched it on Match Of The Day you have to applaud the Hull goalkeeper Boaz Myhill who had an absolute blinder. Still in fourth (just).

Reckon those 3 points might be a little harder with our Africans back - would not be surprised to lose though.

I hope they don't start on Tuesday! Our defence against Burnley seemed non existant.

Disappointing result yesterday for Liverpool as they played well enough considering the line up and tactics imposed on them by Rafa Benitez. I see Ian St John has slammed Rafa's tactics as boring and diabolical - and quite frankly it is impossible to disagree.


As each day passes the morale, loyalty and enthusiasm of key players like Pepe Reina, Mascherano, Torres and Gerrard will be beaten out of them so badly they will move closer to the exit door regardless of who is the next Manager. It happened under Houllier with Owen and Gerrard and history has a nasty habit of repeating itself.

Liverpool game yesterday was shocking, one of the owrst games I've had the misfortune to watch, partly down to the tatics employed by Benitez and the awful (non existent) quality of Stoke.


Spuds dropping points at home eh? Better wtch out boys, Everton are sneaking up on you for fourth spot and the way their playing at the moment they deserve it.


How good is Moyes as a manager. I wonder whata he would/could have achieved if he had the funds that Fergie, the Chavs, and Citeh have at their disposal. He is the only manager is the prem other than Le Boss that I admire.

Danny Murphy sticks the knife into the Rafa regime - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11669_5866564,00.html


"I keep in touch with a lot of people close to the club and many think the time has come for a new manager" ... now bear in mind the only people from his time still at the Club are the Captain and Vice-Captain, Gerrard and Carragher, that pretty much says he has lost the dressing room.

That goalkeeper was a clown.

Very happy with that dull point - now a bit more off the bottom with by far the best goal difference down there and most of the bottom teams still to play at home. I also hope that Capello is considering Parker for England and Milner should be going for sure. All in all a poor weekend for the pretenders at the top just Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal in it.


Finally a special thanks (not) to the Spuds - drawing at home to Hull at home after their losing to Wolves...cheers for your help :X

What an abysmal performance by City, Everton were fantastic and thoroughly deserved to win although some of Marriners decisions were poor. We need to really step up on Tuesday when we meet our wonderful neighbours ! (Sandperson, I'm not laughing now ! Coming down on Tuesday?)

Ruffers- PM me please- We are meeting at The City Pride Farringdon on Tuesday if you fancy watching with fellow Citizens!

    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since.
