Dzeko makes it 2-2 after City go behind unexpectedly at home, we've seen this before.

Well at least there won't be any Aguerooooooooooo this time.

Mr.Crinklewood

Should have been another free in to Southampton. Webb is screwing them .

( unless he played advantage this time )

I really wish the sky lads would stfu about how amazing they think Premier League is.

Gary is getting worse than Andy Gray.

Mr.Crinklewood

Poor defending, but great finish.

Would love Southampton to give it a real go now!

In fairness to SOton they look dangerous whenever they attack. Maybe sign of things to come.

That was a good chance for Fonte there!

I'm sure their bosses tell them to say it constantly.

Eid Mubarak, I think it's a CM they're looking to replace Rodwell with!

Kelvin Davis would have given me a heart attack by now if I was a Saints fan.

every second line is about that game....its as bad as tyldesely and his "that night in barcelona..."

Soton played mighty. thought they could be whipping boys this season. They can play a bit!

Xavi6

Three points but a crap performance (Nasri, Yaya and Tevez excluded)

wonderboysam

"ya gotta roll with it, ya gotta take your time" I love how they play oasis at the end of city games

Job done, 3 points in the bag, can't be disappointed about that tbh.

Schism

To be fair City looked more threatening although they were awfully wasteful at times but they probably deserved the win, just. Who would have predicted the scoreline though!

colly_06

How he didn't sub Rodwell for Milner is beyond me.

We more than just deserved the win. We were dominant for a lot of that game and Southampton only had 2 real chances which they took. There'd be no complaints if they had got something form the game but we were deserved winners, we just made hard work of it.

Agreed completely. While SOton did well to take their chances it was the only two they really had. No way City were ever going to not win that imo. Prob a good wake up call for ye. First game is always dodgy and Soton were waiting for this for a while. United have a very tough game tomorrow

Mr.Nice Guy

It was a cracking game.

One thing that did grind my gears though was Redknapp's post-match whinge about how he feels passionate that football has taken a bad rap following the Olympics. No one is questioning the drama of football Jamie ; they are questioning why we also have to put up with cheating, malice, backchat to officials and other such unsavoury nonsense which brings the reputation of the sport down.

Rodwell had an excellent game imo. Apart from the lapse in concentration for that pass he swept up everything in front of the front four. Very promising start. Suits Yaya down to the ground having a player like that beside him. Quick, powerful, good reading of the game. Was the right decision to play him in this game and not introduce him playing one of the top 4 where nerves will destroy his confidence.

Just checked my Goal Rush bet, City conceding cost me €700.

Only team to let me down, ye feckers :pac:

There's always 1. Birmingham let me down for a 7 accum. 50/1

However my 'greater than 4.5 goals' bet in every City game is now 2 from 2 (Single bets)

I forgot about the bet totally, did it Saturday morning for Sunday games when I went in with my buddy who was doing his accumaltor, only had €3 on it and only remembered when I seen Anzi Vs Zenit drew 1-1, both teams rung a bell for some reason and went searching found the slip and realised City let me down. :pac:

Wouldnt have made much diffeence anyway, had a few games on it that K/O'd after the City game was over so if I was aware of it, my bet would have been up when Southampton scored, still though, as ya said there is always one, and its usally your " banker "

Think it might have been Mancini's tactics to keep it this close? He could then turn to Marwood and say it was too close a call now give me more money :P
