Were well placed at half time. 3-0 was flattering, and there were annoying little decisions (e.g. Song getting about 3 final warnings and only gets booked when he dives ) which favoured home side, but we didn't create enough and responded poorly to going behind. Not sure why Delph was brought on either. He seems to only get thrown in at the deep end. 'tis weird.

Most annoying thing is that TV top 4 favouritism has set it up so Liverpool will beat us next, as team will be knackered and demoralised after that, with only 48 hrs to recover. While Liverpool got gifted a victory and extra day to recover. The inevitable loss on Tuesday that this has set up could be vital in the battle for 4th.

DB, the mistake was to give the Xmas off to the players, some lapdancing bars must've stayed open.

Carew wasn't the reason we lost

Wow, you're even sounding like a top 4 team now, well done !

Feel sorry for Dunne, he still looked very good (on the ball as well!) despite the scoreline. The Given effect

I don't know why you keep saying this, Dunne was playing poorly for City for about a season and a half before Given arrived.

When agendas get embarrassing.

liar.

That's the Diaby i keep telling people about. He put in a similar performance against Hull last week. He's going to be a f'king monster if he makes it. That's was his 6th goal of the seasson, i expect him to hit double figures come May.

Great team performance and great result considering the Chelsea result yesterday. More of the same please

Do you not get tired of cursing your players?!

No "howlers" but he's a fundamentally flawed GK. doesn't do anything until his defence sinks right on top of him, then he can take credit for camera saves. Also his positioning is pretty horrible, and is well flat-footed moving across his line. Doesn't Command a damn thing.
Why do his defenders always look uncertain, and look better in front of another Goalkeeper elsewhere?

Why did your defensive record get worse after he arrived in place of Hart, who's now doing pretty well at Birmingham?

Roy Keane said it best in that press conference in the aftermath of the Henry handball:

I expect his injuries to follow a similar pattern as the past few months. He's got 6 now, so i expect him to get something like that in the same number of appearnaces.

btw Wasn't Berbatov meant to be out for 3 months? Pretty sure i read that somewhere.

Except Casillas comes off his line, doesn't ruin every defender that plays in front of him, plus Madrid have had the best defensive record in La Liga over some seasons with Casillas in goal, and of course, they've won things.


I think he's had a poor calender year though, I'll give you that. Kodak

He's ruined some of the best defenders in world football.

If you're talking Samuel & Cannavaro, they were always overrated.

Yet Samuel was great before he went there..and is doing great now. Even kept Messi in his pocket in the first Barca Inter tie in the CL this season..

and neither of them were ever shit, but suddenly were at Madrid.
