Balloteli lifted the ball over Howard, taken out of it. Ball hits post, no advantage penalty, or am I misreading the laws of the game?

No your spot on, by rights it was a foul and straight red for Howard. Not 100% sure on the advantage thing, but I'm pretty sure the ref could have brought play back and awarded a penalty. You could even argue that for the second challenge Howard plays the man before he plays the ball.

Everton have been a bit lucky today with the refereeing.

I liked when the fans shouted ''handball''. The 4th time was a good appeal. 17th one was also.

Raskolnikov

lol @ Tony Hibbert, that was hand ball.

Xavi6

Well that was a handball.

Judging from the luck City have had you would back them to miss it.

Great save there

no, I was inferring that from your 'man's game' sh*te...

How is that sh1te?

Sure beats the fairy approach you seem to apply to the game.

It is a man's game with a modicum of contact expected - the punishment for the two challenges tonight were not consistent with the crime in anyway shape or form for me.

Slightly pathetic to belittle the man's game argument whilst referencing two so very soft challenges - wouldn't really be the best evidence for your "pumelling" argument.

WP Everton, seriously good performance to restrict City to an own goal.

That'll just have to be our last defeat for the year.

Credit to Everton, defended well! An amazing amount of last ditch blocks. Restricted City to half chances until the sending off. City must do better

Well done to Everton.

There's something about watching Man City lose. Especially to Everton. It makes me happy.

lol, so the keeper can clobber the player and get away with it?

no need to be so snotty either m8!

eagle eye

Thought City were unlucky not to get something from that. They should have had at least two penalties over the 90 minutes. And the Balotelli one seemed like a foul from Howard too, I know he got his shot off but he was taken down by Howard for sure.

Nice to see Everton playing better though, its about time really.

KittyeeTrix

Gutted we didn't win but must say congrats to all the Everton fans here.....:)

Looks like my Da must wait for another Xmas till City are first in the Prem:(

We'll see how your game in hand goes. Might need to address that goal difference as well.

Third spot, two points off top. No disasters here.

Warper

Delighted with that, Tim Cahill is such a legend.

flahavaj

Well done Everton. City being top at Christmas just wouldn't have looked right tbh.:pac:

I think Everton really gave too much respect to City. Everton looked really good in opening stages of the first half and scored 2. They were passing the ball well and were the first on any loose balls. Then it was 30 minutes of pressure from City. I'd even say it was very unlucky for City that they were down to 10 men for the 2nd goal as it may have been a different outcome then but that's teh way it is. Mancini could have subbed but he didn't seem too sure of what was happening at the time.

Second half, Man City keep at it and fair play to them. Everton looked cagey from the 15th or so minute of the match and let Man City come at them too much but they defended well but also had luck riding on it as one of many of those shots could have gone in.

Kolo Kolo Kolo. Say no more.

Good game. Would have liked to see Everton attack a little more though as I thought when they did attack at the begining, they looked pretty good.

Hard luck Man city, no top of table for xmas and Everton make that 4 wins in their last 4 outtings at City.

Fairy approach? :pac: Well, you must forgive me for preferring to skill and combination play over late and potentially reckless challenges, your manliness.

Mr. Guappa

Can this be re-named the "Are City and Mancini done?" thread?

Dunno if that's intentional or not, but 10 days without losing isn't very ambitious is it?
