Aye, Williamson is clearly aware of his limitations whereas Taylor seems to think he's class. His mental play is the reason the game was tight, if he'd used his head and just kept the ball moving it'd of been no bother. But sadly his biggest failing is the fact he's a moron.

Cabaye had a class game, really close 2nd half which was disappointing after the first half. Was Santon hurt? I know MYM took a knock but didn't see Santon take any. Glad we beat that fat hippo and hope them tramps go down with the mackems.

Hope someone tells Taylor that's why he doesn't get his game much, could have easily kept possession till the half. We played really well shame it's 2-1, just hope we come out the same 2nd half and not just look to defend for 45 mins.

Good amount of bog roll in the background it looks like, very low likelihood of getting caught short in Kippax's house.

Old trampy cunt?

So you aren't grateful to have a club that's willing to possibly entertain the idea of making a bid for someone? Halfway through the window and we're almost going to make a bid, guess that's not enough for some people.

"It's a bad meth" as opposed to the healthy meth

Ohhhh boy I'm so excited about the prospect of us edging towards this bid. Just hope we can get this one across that line, it fucked us over too many times last window.

Agree with this.

Agreed. Also in Pardews defence Pelligrini does look like he's been dug up.

He's a complete joke man, always has been and will be. It's laughable when they put him on tv and he sits there looking confused. I like the Milton comparison . He clearly doesn't watch the games to select his team of the week. Just another shambolic employee of the BBC.

Aye of course, I'd expect two strikers to be brought in if we sold Cisse tbh. It is odd tbh, as having a good strike force is one of the best ways to ensure you do well in the league. You'd think that would be something that interests Ashley.

Aye same, still wish it was us rather than them. Ah well.

Aye if it really was around £9m we should snap their hands off.

I used to have a lot of time for City fans tbh, all the ones I met were good lads but this new found superiority is shite (not that they'd care what I or any other fans think, and rightfully so I don't now let alone if we were as good as they are now). They're good because of an outside source pumping vast amounts of money into them but some of them act like they're a big club in the old fashioned way they're not, this could be any team in the league structure. If the rumours are right it was literally Ashley being an arsehole that prevented this being us.

Aye agreed, defended against Fernandinho and Toure very well, and still was able to help out on both flanks. Also scored a cracking goal, should have been MOTM and got us points.

Aye that was a 'stuffing'. Mbiwa was stupid but it wasn't a sending off, and City fans aren't really in a position to talk about injuring other players and getting away with it as De Jong broke 2 bones in Ben Arfa's leg and got away with it. Robbed is right we were, we were the better side today your lot scored and sat deep then we had a perfectly okay goal taken from us. If Cabaye should have been off for persistent fouls then Fernandinho should have walked too. I don't have anything to say about the Pardew comment except you can say what you like about him, I dislike him too.

I know, sorry mate I was actually backing up your point about the players that cost a gazillion influencing the ref didn't make a very good job of it though.

Aye spot on Moog, if Pardew says it's a joke he'll face a fine and possibly a sideline ban. The ref was clearly completely wrong, so far I've not heard a single pundit or commentator say otherwise.

Aye but Joe Hart didn't dive, the referee knows a keeper like him would never misjudge a shot and put himself in a poor position or lose flight of the ball, therefore the only explanation is Gouffran interfered.

I guess a ball zipping past your head at 80mph while being in no ones line of sight means you're interfering. The whole Hart didn't move argument is utter shite, he just got caught rooted to the spot he was beaten hands down.

Completely disgusted by that. Like someone said they ref goes out of his way to make an abysmal decision when it was easier to just make the correct one, he'll get a half arsed slap on the wrist we might get an apology but we're still out possible points and he still carries on his shit job. Should have games taken off him for this at the very least. Sadly think all the momentum and crowd pressure from the decision will have dissipated by 2nd half.

Areet cocksy lad, I'm sure you'll be back in here over the next few weeks in all right?

Aye good finish from Noble, the goalie should have done better mind. Assisted by Big Andy.
