Re: More Football Chat : Wed Jan 20, 2010 1:12 pm  

no im not unfortunatly was skint and been too every other home match this year. And regarding the penatly was stupid of Rafeal too grab Bellamy a second time in the area he was already going down the ref sees the contact or the attempted contact hes going to give the penatly just naive and inexperienced play. Was having an argument last night with a united fan he says that your missing a lot of players you were only missing Vidic and Ferdinand and maybe Berbatov. We were missin Lescott, Toure,Bridge,Ireland and Adebayor some fans just let the team down he said that doesnt matter if you had a full team you woul of leathered us. Truth is were you had more possesion we created more chances and at the end of the days doesnt matter how much possesion you have you got to create the chances and take them but he swears blind you played us off the pitch and we dont eserve too be in the match a nice little 1-0 at OT and it off too wembley we trot

Did you actually watch the same game????

From the BBC website...
Possession
Man City 42% Man Utd 58%
Attempts on target
Man City 5 Man Utd 9
Attempts off target
Man City 4 Man Utd 4
Corners
Man City 7 Man Utd 10

And as for Tevez...here's hoping his antics come back to haunt him - there are 2 legs remember Carlos. Most players get booed and abused when they return to former clubs, that's no excuse for behaving like a c.nt if/when they score..and yes, I include Gary Neville in that!!

Re: More Football Chat : Wed Jan 20, 2010 1:30 pm  

Personally thought his celebration was very restrained considering the usual clap trap coming from his former team-mates.

Tevez did his talking on the pitch. Others do it in the press because they can't get a game

tevez showed no class last night. tbf i thought he was better than that.

Thought he was very restrained. Didn't exactly go running over to the United fans to mock.

Shame the same can't be said for Gary Neville, a 34 year old man whose supposed to be a senior player at United resorting to "giving the finger". Very mature Gary well done.

So the fans give him abuse all the way through his visit to Old Trafford, the players and manager of United stick the knife into him and you expect him to score in a Semi-Final and a local derby and stand there with his hands by his sides?

He didn't go and celebrate in front of the United fans, did he, so what's the beef?

It was never a penalty but neither was the one in the FA Cup a few years back when we led 1-0 at Old Trafford and Alan Wiley blew up for Frontzeck farting in the box. What goes around comes around?

What was the final score in that game?

Re: More Football Chat : Wed Jan 20, 2010 3:57 pm  

Got to the ground at 7.40pm last night. Got in at 8.30pm. Enjoyed celebrating Giggs goal outside the ground though.

Anyone would think city aren't used to capacity crowds................
