very odd game....i'd swear robinho and the midfielders are on the take...i don't think i have seen one pass connect between the lot of them....i almost started rooting for the gunners but i hate arsene and i hate italian football...so no one really wins... do they?..how van pussy didn't square this one up or nocerino put the game away will be one for the ages...ps memo to nocerino...balotelli would have made this game go away with that empty netter!!!
forgot to add zlatan to one who seemed to NOT try his hardest....his expression after the game looked as if HE were on arsenal...almost like he just cost someone he knows quite a bit of coin???...i could be talking out my arse...but you never know???...and as always,...it's everyone elses fault... correct, arsene????...doesn't shake opposing coaches hand...goes strait for the 4th ref to complain(yet again)as soon as final whistle blew...it's never enough for that french fuck....
damn life got in the way and i couldnt watch the last 10 mins...so i missed all that arsene and zlatan stuff...but yeah - how he could rip apart us in one game and be a complete non-factor the next is weird. Robinho I can understand because he always took days off..but zlatan? too bad refs insist on letting the italians dive all over the place and blow the whistle. We lost 2-3 chances because of floppers. I'd want to be matched up with milan next round - they are awful. We just blew more than normal in italy and it cost us...but gooner fans should be okay with the way we went out.
I could be bias but spurs don't look like top 3....i think arsenal 3rd is looking really good now. It might take 3-4 years but we will be back to manchester form. Minus Arsene as i see him leaving next year after another zero trophy.

if u can try to watch the ending catch ibra's reaction...classic pussy wegner as well....and i agree with your assessment of spurs...difference between their defense and yours(which is very similar i feel with the way they play a high line and like to get up the pitch)is you keep many more balls out of the back of the net...
well UEFA is looking into the matter against Arsene so he probably shot his mouth again...3 bans in a year should force Arsenal to look for a new coach...lifetime ban! Haha...that's one way to get rid of him. The ref was horrible though but 95% of refs in an italian game are horrible because that's the way Italy teams are...you flop 100 times a game the other team will get 38 free kicks. I just wish the yellow cards weren't flying in the early going....that ruins games. The blame is in first game not the ref nor the performance.
I don't know how much you or City care about EUROPA but that is definitely for the taking. I think the league will interfere a bit too much for both manchesters and a team like a. Madrid or Valencia might win it. With Chelsea probably out next week, the FA is looking pretty weak. Odds for sporting in the DNB line mighty tempting but i really never bet UEFA Cup games.

todays game is totally contrasting in styles of play...city push and try to score and sporting act like a greek team with a loud 'french type' manager... expect the scoring to be at a premmium 2day but of course, you never know.....have said it before that i don't really care how city do in this, i care about the prem title...but i guess a better standing in europa betters your position in the draw for next years cl as i was told by my half in the bag brother a few nites ago...city are playing a very defensive minded midfield today w/exception of silva who will play up w/dzeko n kun....gonna play a prop for a buck and see what happens...aguero to score first and city win 1-0@20-1 odds....same bet but win 2-0@22-1odds...and same bet w/dzeko but win 3-0@45-1 odds...
-300..not as issue..a real issue to me and i don't care if it's europa league....city aren't a top international club....i can rah-rah w/the best of them, but i have to call it like i see it...other than balotelli on the offensive side of the ball we have no deadly striker to compete with top clubs....and then u have to wonder which balotelli shows up....i can't deal with another aquero ball shot over the crossbar or another dzeko lost dribble...how lescott is on the english national team is an embarrassment...and that might be the worst scored goal i have ever seen scored and definitely the worst joe hart has let in...a freaking joke of a backheel?....disgraceful...
really can't believe they lost to sporting who just lost to vitoria setubal, one of the worst teams I've seen play all season. obviously they'll thrash 'em 3-0 back at Maine Road but really surprised they lost today. btw, time to stop the "group of death" stuff 
....the spanish team you faced might get relegated, the german team won't win a thing, and the italians are in like 5th or 6th place locally. Given City's EPL position they should have cruised through that group so maybe it takes time to learn to be a top INTL side

well of course teams like utd and barca get better draws because they've earned it on the cumulative table....it's the way it is supposed to work. You'll see next year when City get a few scrubs and one decent side although I honestly don't think any City fan can argue they were in a truly difficult group this year when you see how the other 3 teams have turned out. No doubt it was tough group when looking at it before the competition began but none of those should strike fear into a team like City.
I've not said a kind word about Utd since November and really believe A LOT of money can be made against them in March, starting with yesterday of course. Old man scholes is the only MF that can bring any sort of comfort in possession...never seen this out of the Reds before. No possession, inability to defend, reliance on keeper to keep them in matches...like watching Bolton

villareal i could see coming....naples is a lil puzzling admittedly...but munich are still right there for the title...albeit a few of there losses somewhat dreadful...so long as we win the prem...the season is a positive...won't say success....but the right direction....next year the stakes go up and 2 medals will be a must...but first things first...schedule between the red and blue side gets decidedly favorable for the red side in the coming month
city-160/o2' parlay $2000 to win $4205.....city will rebound harshly....they know utd. wins v. wba sunday.....extremely confident in this selection hence the almost max bet on this one....like the 'wop' says, "every game here out is a must"...except w/a bad italian accent....god i can't stand him...very well informed about swans fantastic record at home...i don't care..let them have the meaningless goal...city put up a 3 spot this sunday...done..... and for giggles..a lil parlay...qpr-dions o2'-110/chelski-245/s'land+300/mick mccarthy's deal with the devil +135/sir douchbag-300/beautiful blue-160....$200 gets back $10,750
The parlay for 10k was doomed before it even kicked off- the biggest disaster I know has the over 2' in the QPR match...was out running this am and stopped by my trainers barn- caught one of the degenerate Asst. trainers and he told me lock of day was that over-enough said....city will void this minimal suffering-hahaha...cheers
we have a book here at the track(belmont)irish fellow that takes on all punters all shapes and sizes...he has one of those pph websites...90% of his business is horses(obviously)and soccer(most of the help in the barns loves betting central and south american leagues)..this guy is a real cowboy too...there is no bet he won't take...when i can't get in contact w/my brother(lives in uk) to put bets in with his accounts(paddy power, pinnacle,and his local shops)..i use this guy....
i think howard webb jr.(lee mason)must have been watching the unc-nc st. game yesterday...it's been a known thing he has a grudge(for whatever reason?)against city...the least he could do is call it both ways...the pk against hart was as harmless as the no-call on balotelli...either both are or both aren't...city slept walked thru the 1st half unscathed....these last 20 should be quite interesting w/utd. up a goal...looks like we could have a tie at the top of the table possible by days end....uggghh!!!.....and beyond all this, i am dropping 2k on this freaking game....uggghhhhh!!!
