Mancini has a knack of making attacking substitutions which initially look defensive.

It helps to have a player with the versatility of Yaya Toure. We looked very open down our left flank until Barry came on. It still all depends on whether we can find some form away from home. We havent had a really convincing away win since the Spurs, Utd & Villareal games.

Hansen's bell-endedness is coming to the boil, on MOTD as I type

Go away, Anal

No mate, Senna's was pretty average to be fair. I thought Casillas should have done much better whereas he couldn't really do much about Cazorla's peach.
Talking about Malaga, the arab owner has signalled he's going to spend big in the summer.

Mourinho refusing to speak to the press now.

I went to Nerja last year and I got talking to a couple of fellas at a bar. They said they were 'board members' of a supporters club within the area, they were telling me about the potential new stadium and the potential spending. My girlfriend's nan and grandad have a place up in Nerja, I may pop there for a week in October and go to a Malaga game.

Actually, it's just on the very outer edge of Torrox, literally on the coast their place is so it's just a drive along the coast into Nerja. We spent every night in Nerja, I can't remember exact things but I do recall a big copper statue right next to a cracking sea view. Type in "Urbanización Beach Club, 29793 Torrox, Málaga, Andalucía, Spain" on maps to see where it is, they used to have a cracking sea view until the locals built in front of it. Still, a lovely place.

That's the one, can't beat chilling out around there with a few scoops of 'tastes like ferrero'. The place is lovely, I might go up there in October and catch a game or two. Would be nice if they got in Europe, even if I'm not a fan of sudden billionaires getting straight to the top.

Can't weigh Athletic Club up. Very frustrating.

Small squad. The style of play demands a hell of a lot from the players and they're running out of steam.
Bear in mind, though, that this is year one of the Bielsa era. A total change of ethos takes time to implement. Still, new contracts for Bielsa, Martinez and Llorente are all good news.

Catalancs; did you see Cazorla's goal t'other night against Madrid? Was Senna's better?

Cazorla > Senna. But that's more about Cazorla's being amazing than Senna's being average. I thought Casillas was slightly out of position, but Senna still had to spot the gap and then find it.

Big win for City last night. It isnt their home form that has been the problem though. It's winning these "easy" away games I was told about earlier in the season. Stoke away is a massive test. I expect them to perform at the Emirates.
