i heard mancini complaining they didnt have enough players in the 2 all draw with fulham whats the go there like man city's bench is worth more than alot of clubs combined i dont think it will be long till the bench players start requesting transfers but will have to wait and see,theres no doubt the team is loaded with quality

For the sake of fairness, just thought I'd mention the disgusting chanting by United fans at Leeds yesterday, mocking Leeds fans deaths in Istanbul.... every team has them....

Was a bit precious wasn't it! TBH I think he wanted to play the same 'starting team' and most of them were a bit stuffed...no excuse though, they should have had about 4 or 5 before Fulham scored...

It's a real shame... I mean we can argue and all that but chants about dead fans?? I got into it with some City fans after the Blackburn game last year where Munich chants were heard. Most were like us but others were - 'they do it too' - a pathetic attitude...

And yes - what a moment for Hargreaves... first time he's played more than 15 minutes since 2008!!! And he scores a screamer. Glad Balotelli scored too - he played well by all accounts...

Had my doubt's about Demba Ba but after this mornings performance i have changed opinion solid performance from Newcastle and well deserved 3 points

TOON TOON

City with a big win for us - Everton have had our number - 7 wins against us out of 8 including 4 in a row at Etihad!! Not today, they had 11 behind the ball...then everyone's favourite villian Balotelli came on and won the game for us - then went and gave his manager a hug! Enough to make a Non City fan puke! David Silva's pass for the 2nd was the best pass I've seen all year.

Cahill took out Kompany with a scissor tackle from behind, in the process Kompany stood on his ankle as he jumped to try and avoid it. Cahill the dirty ***** gets a deserved yellow and Moyes goes off at Kompany!! He's such a moaning git....


Stoke and United draw - I hear De Gea was the star!!!

Funny how people said he'd get smashed at the Brittania and he ends up being United's hero. Have heard nothing negative of De Gea since.

id rather aguero and dzeko anyway

Dzeko wasn't on his best behaviour either. Although from what I can tell he was having a sad about having to come off, which isn't entirely bad.
United lucky to snatch a point after going 2-0 up early? Surely not a case of no Rooney no United again?

considering they won the league last season with rooney in the worst long term form of his career, i think theyll still be solid.
city should learn not to play such hard-ball, trying to get as many pennys as possible for players, and just let them go. the tevez saga was never going to end well. the dude handed in a transfer request, was very vocal about not wanting to be in manchester, and flip-flopped at least a half a dozen times, yet when a team falls just a little short on an offer, they say no. did they actually expect him to just come back and leave all that sh!t behind?
suprised at lampards behaviour tho. i can see where hes coming from, just didnt expect it from him.
anyone keeping up with joey barton / karl henry battle? just another stepping stone to joey becoming the biggest w@nker to have ever played football...anywhere.

Corinthians were all talk with that offer and it basically eventuated into nothing - ie they were putting in an offer for $$ they didn't have. So u can't say they fell a little short - they fell off the cliff.

I don't buy what you're saying about City here - Tevez is basically the best paid player in the game and he won't play? Why is that City's fault? - they''ve done every thing they can to keep him happy. What else were they supposed to do? He scored 40 prem goals in 2 years - the highest total in the toughest league in the world and was arguably the form striker in the world if u look at it that way. Are they supposed to let someone roll over them and take him on the cheap?? Andy Carroll $35 mill, Torres $50 mill and offer Tevez for less???
This is the last straw and he can rot in the Reserves until January - I'll take his wages for the week - what a tool.

As for Joey Barton - sure he's a tool too but he's pretty funny on twitter - he doesn't care what anyone thinks and writes exactly what he thinks - it's refreshing...

the corinthians offer only fell through because they wanted to pay in 2 installments. the total amount was agreed upon.
and yes. they shouldve let him go on the cheap (or cheaper than top dollar). sometimes thats what happens when players and clubs have differences. you cut your losses. now they got to pay him his wage and not get the benefit of his mad skills. they didnt do everything they could to keep him happy, because hes still there. he wanted out months (or is it years now?) ago...
im not saying its cities fault he wont play, but they mustve realised there was more problems ahead with him. he was never going to 'settle' again and they shouldve sold him. and its not like hes the only one theyve had problems unloading. and its not like they need the cash. or the extra striker...
i agree that hes worth more than carroll and torres. probably combined. but you cant judge a players value by what he was bought for. theres too much money behind too many clubs now, and over-evaluating is becoming the norm. like you said, carroll @ $35mill is ridiculous to think about when you consider thats almost $10mill more than nasri, and only $3mill less than aguero. makes no sense.
bartons not refreshing, hes just an obnoxious and hypocritical thug. thinks hes clever with his orwelle and nietzsche quotes, meanwhile hes stabbing lit cigars in people eyes.
cant fault his abilities, just wish he'd shut-up and play.
 
Mak's right - they should have let him go on the cheap. Its pretty obvious why no other club in Europe came knocking for him. He really had to go.
