It's a club symbol, has been for years.

Horribly negative team for a game at home to Bolton. Zero creativity in midfield.

Come on bolton!!!!

Does Tevez - Adebayor partnership actually work ?

antodeco

Cmon Bolton! (I am a Bolton fan though )

redout

Given looks a bit unsure tonight.

MagicMarker

Viera has been awful, suppose he needs to get his sharpness back though.

He's been pretty poor for a good 4 years now.

If the manager can put a bit of smacht on Ade he's versatile enough to partner anyone. Play him high up right on the line, don't let him drop deep and get him to hold the ball up for Tevez and the wingers, no one better in the world at that when he's arsed.

Peno City!

That was a ridiculous decision, if anything it was a peno to Bolton!

I wouldn't have given a peno, but i agree,

hate the way any scrambles in a box, normally involving a GK always end up being a free out.

Mr Alan

definate penalty to be honest. johnson is looking very good.

Eire-Dearg

Adam Johnson is really good.

Xavi6

Great half from Jinky. Looks so good, even if he is stuck on the right.

Vieira's a waste of space and needs to come off for someone even a slight bit more creative.

ctrl-alt-delete

Yeah he looks really good, and here was me thinking he was a fool to go there because he'd get no gametime.

Joined in on the 35 minute mark, but even in that short space he really stood out. A little rough around the edges but he seems to have the brain for it which is the most important part.

Loved that cross near the end . . . with his right foot.

I agree about Vieira but Adebayor is complete gash also, I think someone needs to explain the offside rule to him. AJ looks like a great buy but about the only positive of the 1st half.

IvySlayer

Finally found a decent stream. Expect City to score more though.

IvySlayer

Ohhh Tevez rattles the bar. Nice free.

Xavi6

Nice free kick from Carlos. Unlucky.

IvySlayer

Kolo off, Lescott on.

OPENROAD

Given :eek:

Xavi6

Some ball in from Johnson

IvySlayer

Shay Given.

Handing out heart attacks to City fans:D

missingtime

Johnson looks very dangerous but bolton are getting back into this.

karma_

What an odd substitution.

Xavi6

How the hell is Vieira still on the pitch? Bridge off?!

I'm convinced they're gonna score.

whatawaster

why is Ireland not on the pitch? City have Zero creativity. Viera was past it 3 years ago

whatawaster

Super goal

Mr Alan

great finish.

Waaahhh


Robinson is a bit of a thug.

One pass does not a great performance make (though it was a great pass)

Mr Alan

Bolton are definately gonna stay up.

Eire-Dearg

Great technique for the goal

You being sarcastic?

Can't tell.

noodler

Ade turning to the crowd in some kind of disgust there when the best isn't made of his pass.

I absolutely HATE that.

racso1975

swp is takin some abuse tonight! Adam johnson is looking good. Dont think viera can last a game

IvySlayer

Ooh Lee was through. Given gets out though.
