Blue Moon - The Manchester City Thread - C'MON CITY!

[boxhead]

They are second in the league so they are a good team. They are a bit naive when it comes to Europe and Mancini should of put a team out like he did in the league last year. De Jong to start next to Barry, and let the top 4 do what they do. Ageuro to start left, Silva middle, Milner right. Dzeko up top. Keep it tight.

Or they could just give up of course. Well done. :lol:


As for the rest. If me posting rumours that make the British press on an Australian website is a problem to you then tough, I don't know what coverage potential rumours get over in Aus. I just report (some of) them.

RE: Rooney and bandwagon jumping (really? You are actually going there??) etc, we ain't going into that on the City thread, its derailed enough. If you want to discuss it take it to the general or United thread.

I said they may as well have given up because they had no chance anyway, they were exposed for how "good" they really are, it's easy to dominate in the EPL when you have a far deeper and stronger squad than anyone else, that doesn't matter in the CL when their are other teams with similar financial power.
Take Madrid for example, they have achieved nothing at the highest level in nearly a decade despite spending countless millions of euros on "developing the squad".
Your original point was a comparison between Bayern and Stoke. So are Stoke playing regular CL football, winning various competitions and dismantling Manchester City? You still haven't provided a tangible reason to justify your comparison.

I brought up the media because during the transfer windows you claim that players are signing with different clubs with an arrogant tone. The Aussie media isn't great either, it is just like any media. The point is that believing any media article relating to football transfer windows is foolhardy.

Why wouldn't I bring up Rooney?

An arrogant tone? Your just being silly now.


I asked what you would of done different. Your big idea was to give up. Hmmm enough said.

I have put in a 'tangible' (How a reason can be tangible when in fact it's an opinion/thought and therefore intangible is for another day) reason for the Stoke comparison. If you disagree, then fine. But to claim its not there is just well... strange.


Your being a bit weird so I'm out of this thread until City do something else funny.

Apparently Mario Balotelli went to a WWE event last night...wearing his own jersey.

Although my general rule is to loathe all City players without question. Can't help but think SuperMario would be an awesome buddy to go out and party with.

 

[dogz08]

Don't think that was him

 

[Tom Shines]

Wasn't him, he's in Italy

 

[BunniesMan]

Yep read confirmation it was a lookalike. I'm slightly heartbroken, would have been a cool story to add to his growing legend along with the kart track in his backyard, setting his bathroom on fire with fireworks, yelling "Rooney" and Wayne Rooney's prostitute in a high class restaurant, and driving around Manchester in his sports car high fiving random fans after the 6-1 win.

Mixed feelings.

Our unbeaten season continues to stand alone at the pinnacle of acheivement in English domestic football. The league leaders get a little closer back to the pack.

On the other hand we're back out of the 4.

I think how I feel about the City-Chelsea result will depend on how City plays against us. If Chelsea exposed the first cracks in their armor, and they play subpar against us and we manage to win. I'll be happy. If this result pisses off City and gets them to focus and be at their absolute best against us...I'll think unfavourably.

Hopefully this is the beginning of Citys descend down the table, and hopefully Chelsea goes back to being crap next week.

 

[CliffyIsGod]

Done. Van Persie doesn't fire, Arsenal don't fire.

A 1 man team wouldn't have even got that close to City. Our backs (makeshift out of position players and all) went very close to holding the most potent team in the league scoreless. If our back four was Djourou-Kos-Verm-Sagna they wouldn't have scored even that 1 goal.

Our midfield went toe to toe with the best in the league and held it's own.

A one man team wouldn't have even got close to a team as deep and talented as City.

We have one of the top 2 or 3 keepers in the league in Szczesny, one of the top backs in the league in Vermaelen. There is more to us than just RVP.

But you need RVP to score. You didn't score.

I'll ignore the rest of your crap for your Szcez comment.
:lol: Pepe Reina, Joe Hart and Tim Krul are definitely ahead of him. That, and I'd argue Michel Vorm, Tim Howard and Brad Friedel are better as well at this stage.

Hart is #1 in my books. Krul possibly ever so slightly ahead. Noone else is better.

Szc has conceded at most 2 goals through his own fault this season.

I wouldnt swap Szc for Reina, Vorm, Howard or Friedel if their teams paid us.

The one person involved with this club that is likeable:

http://www.foxsports.com.au/footbal...dressed-as-santa/story-e6frf4a3-1226225433137

Outlandish striker Mario Balotelli spent the night before Manchester City's clash with Arsenal dressed as Santa, driving around the city handing out money,

A Manchester City spokesperson dismissed the rumour after their 1-0 win over Arsenal but not before manager Roberto Mancini told reporters: "With Mario, it's possible."

Then there was the time he threw a dart at a youth-team player, suffered an allergic reaction to grass, gave £1,000 to a homeless person, drove a wagging school kid to his school to confront a bully, couldn't get his training bib on and was subbed for a botched back-heel in a pre-season friendly.

Predictable. Delusional.
You don't pay attention to any of them obviously, especially when you say Krul is only "slightly" ahead.
I understand Friedel because he is 40 years old but the others are well ahead of Szcez. And to say he is responsible only for two goals is absolutely moronic, baseless and revolting.
So you are saying the team that has conceded at least five more goals than every other team in the top seven can blame its conceded goals only on defence and not the keeper?

I really do feel sorry for all the Arsenal fans that have to put up with your crap.
