    Four game charge on Balotelli for stamping on Parker

    Cheers mate. We've not had it all our own way either, only need to look at the red card for Kompany against the scum which has left us without our most influential player for 4 games. We were told that two footed tackles were instant red cards but there have been dozens of them since the...

    Four game charge on Balotelli for stamping on Parker

    Bit of a sweeping generalisation there? A lot of us have taken it on the chin because we know this sort of thing, sadly, remains part of Mario's game which he needs to lose sharpish. His reputation precedes him. As for Lescott, I think he was lucky to get away with it but I'm relieved from a...

    Appreciation to citys stewards and greater manchester police

    Can't say I'm surprised. Showsec are a bunch of wankers. They're an outside company the club uses for extra stewards especially near the away section, everyone hates them. The sad thing is they're allowed to act like twats because when they summon the police it's always their word the police...

    Appreciation to citys stewards and greater manchester police

    Sorry to hear you've had a hard time with them mate. Out of interest were they wearing orange or yellow jackets? The reason I ask is that from experience the latter are absolute twats and home fans have had countless run-ins with them. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po0dZfS2CDg...

    Defoe Vs Man City

    Oo-er, definitely looks dodgy. However the rule as I understand it is that if the referee sees the incident and takes action (as Webb did by issuing the yellow card) there can't be any action taken? I might be wrong, but that's how I understand it (and was why the Glen Johnson on Lescott tackle...

    Defoe Vs Man City

    From my perspective he was your most dangerous player for a lot of the game. For quite a lot of the game I thought Richards had Bale under control, having said that Clichy didn't have his best game. Coming into the game I thought Savic was the weak link, the first goal sadly proved me right...

    Team vs Citeh

    I'd say the lineup you have there hits the nail on the head. Formation-wise, it'll probably be 4-4-1-1 (Aguero dropping back) when you have the ball, switching into a 4-2-4 (Silva and Nasri pushing forward) when we have the ball and are on the attack. Wouldn't necessarily be a surprise if De...

    Team vs Citeh

    It will be Clichy 100%. Kolarov is far too slow to deal with the likes of Lennon. Clichy has been very good for us so far. I'd say there is some truth in this, which is why I'm looking forward to getting Kompany back at least.

    Team vs Citeh

    Yeah, I can understand why we're disliked. I wouldn't say it makes the competition non-existent, City always find a way to screw it up! Typical City isn't dead just yet, see the Sunderland game a few weeks ago. Same to you; as I said I would be really happy if Spurs got into the CL...

    Team vs Citeh

    To be honest it doesn't bother me, I just like seeing us do well. The one thing that does get to me is being accused of being a glory supporter, or being one of the 'only here since 2008' brigade. It's natural I suppose, given that there will be some 'new' City fans who jumped on the bandwagon...

    Team vs Citeh

    Looks like Balotelli is fit for tomorrow, which is great news for us. Whether or not he'll start I don't know, I think Mancini will persist with Dzeko after his goal against Wigan, it would knock his confidence straight back if he scores and is dropped. Think Balotelli will come on though...

    Team vs Citeh

    Yep, love watching us play the passing game but we always seem to piss around with it on the edge of the area, play a poor final ball and end up losing it. When Aguero just smashed it against Liverpool in the league, we scored. We do seem to have lost that cutting edge a bit in the last month...

    Team vs Citeh

    The thing about NDJ is, as I say, his style doesn't lend himself to the way we've played this season. While Barry, Milner and Yaya are looking to link up with Silva/Nasri, De Jong only really plays it sideways and backwards. He's a great ball-winning midfielder but he can't really do much with...

    Team vs Citeh

    Generally speaking, yes; it's the strongest attacking lineup we have available. Some have suggested Zabaleta in midfield as well as Barry/Milner (I can see how that could work) but it all depends on how Mancini approaches the game. That said, what I posted isn't a rigid formation, the main thing...

    Team vs Citeh

    Richards at CB is unlikely, a lot of our width comes from his runs forward and I don't think Mancini wants to lose that. I think he wants to give Savic a run of games to build up his confidence, he's still only 20. As I say, he had a better game against Wigan than he did against Liverpool. As...
