another season at $ city...

[rolltide]

what pisses me off is that player's can simply refuse to play and it's the club that loses out. tevez gets his way...goes to a huge spanish-speaking club, will continue making crazy $, and learns nothing from his actions. Kid has always been like this whether at Boca, Timao, United, City...when he's happy, he's a top 10 striker in the world but when he's not he's a nuisance

btw, i had read it at http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co....3_arsenal_newcastle_manchester_city_1_3832418

thanx 4 the link...it could happen..now that gary cook is out of the picture there it could happen....can't see them holding out on any cash considerations on his head now.....as for his actions...stupid is as stupid does...some people never learn...place him in that category...let him go piss off ronaldo and the bunch in madrid....just make it asap...

i'd be lying to you if i thought this villa match wouldn't be a 1-0 score line...with villa sitting back looking for one of their popular draws....and with the lineup mancini put out their today...looking like englands national squad...pretty impressive

citeh should haved saved some goals for the CL...haha...but being able to leave some heavyweights on the bench and still dominate a tough villa team...even i am impressed....

city -290 to win for a dime.....like the lineup very much...everyone's role is clearly defined....

i am with you, i laid the 1.5 though, but i like the way this team is playing right now

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

that was a fairly rude way to start the game for the visiting side :think2:

 

[tk2wndw]

Uh, what is going on? Only have access to manu on my work slingbox?

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

try fox soccer +

 

[tk2wndw]

It's listed on there, but looks blacked out.

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

that sucks....well not to worry city are dominating this match thus far...other than a lil fuck up between silva and nigel..this would be a shut out....city will pop one or two more in no doubt....

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

happy for the $ and the win....don't really think we deserved it on merit....i'll be the first to admit that the pass from milner to zabs that led to the cross was offside...but we were offsides all night....not really sure what the side judge was watching..it happened right in front of him?...city have to learn to break down one on ones better cuz in european cup play, teams will stack up the defensive box and make you earn it...anyway on to sundays showdown...cheers

sunday's derby should be a whopper....don't like hearing mancini say he will be "happy with a draw but we are going for a win"...which means HE wants to play for a draw...unfortunately his team plays waaaay different on the attack now that there are more options than tevez...i don't like seeing city at almost 3-1 underdogs...the last few times they have been that #(ex.@munich)they have shit the proverbial bed...don't really know what to expect from the utd. side....but i could see both teams playing close to the vest and both accepting a draw with utd. being more the aggressor at times....1-1 would not be a far off prediction...i don't know...reeling on this game which way to roll the dice....so i won't...the only wager i plan on making will be on first goal scorer...and if my brother is spot on with his info on the lineups...it looks like aguero and balotelli will start up front with dzeko on the pine..with that said, i will throw a hundy on the nutbag balotelli at 8-1 odds to score first in the match...he is totally in the zone and doesn't mind taking shots from 35 yards out at any moment,,,and they are deadly...the guy has a wicked boot...and is never short on shots....an interesting play i thought would be kolarov at 22-1...the guy continues to impress with his free kick boot....talk about a deadly leg from distance...the guy can pack a punch...but really don't think he will start this weekend after his start on tues....looks like clichy and micha will get the go aheads on sunday....cheers...other than that...go city!!!...and i will take my abuse afterwards if we take the piss on sunday...sweet as

might have to scratch the balotelli bet...the fire dept. was called to his home this morning for a fire started from a firework in his bathroom...u really can't make this guy up...total hollywood script 24/7...the uk papers should have a field day with this one

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

well my bro was spot on with the forwards and defense..so the balotelli wager stands....interesting midfield to say the least...no yaya...which in the scheme of things could be a blessing...last year we needed him in the worst way to accompany de jong and assist tevez...now w/a formidable front line duo in place each week that duo of de jong/yaya is really not needed...never a fan of the milner/barry combo....only one of them at a time is bearable to me..what can be said about that...have not seen the utd. lineup yet...but should be as formidable....can't wait... under an hour now...

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

whoa...i stand corrected...karate kid is not playing in lieu of yaya...my bad....changes things a bit as now barry becomes the dm, since last seasons heroics yaya reckons himself a more offensive mid...interesting twist no doubt....

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

seems the late $ is coming in on city and the under... but is it the smart $....hmm

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

on a side note....if i didn't know any better i would have thought this lecce-milan game was a 'mac' football game...what happened in these locker rooms at halftime???

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

typical mancini thus far....shocking i know

 

[cocktailsnlongshots+]

he's just so sick...he's a one man comedy...don't care who you are...u gotta laugh....o yeah...i'll take the 8-1
