Francie Barrett

Nasri really is useless.

Kirby

Get used to it, this is going to be the longest pregnancy in history. It'll feel liek 14 months by the time its all over.

Channel 5 even have a 1hr special on it tonight, after only being announced yesterday.

Back to the football .....

Relax, we'll be along, not like theres more than a handful of us around these parts anyway.

Even though I'm apathetic about this match I have to say that every time I see Maicon in a City shirt I get a bit more frustrated, he can't defend, can't pass, can't jump and has so far shown a complete inability to deliver a cross.

That's one thing about our game, I just wish that when we play Dzeko we send in a few more crosses for him to attack.

Oh I didn't mean actual City fans, I meant the ABU's, they're awful quiet tonight.

More fun reading the skysports tickers online for tonights games. Some examples:

Thank heavens for Real Madrid. We've an hour-long Goals Show at 10pm and they're the only ones scoring goals at the moment!!

Hurrah! Another goal. Jeff is explaing to the pundits that Porto need to win that game to finish above their opponents. He's got all the permutations worked out in his head!

Nemanja91

Dortmund are a great club.

Francie Barrett

City really have wasted so much money on awful players.

shadowcomplex

United have nothing to fear on Sunday , they should tear into them

ohyesthefinest

Should results stay the way they are, correct me if im wrong but will city be the first english team to fail to win any game in the champions league group stage?

It just shows what a manager can do when given time.

I want to see Amini and Bittencourt come in!

Or Lewandowski

Still hurting from the way he made your defence look pants in June?

dagdha

Tyler mentioning that the referee is from Serbia just when Balotelli gets knocked over and does'nt get a free. Did anybody think that was an odd comment to make in that instance?

Francie Barrett

Javi Garcia was made to look a bit of a chump there.

Peppa Pig

Bittencourt - is he the manager's son?
Looks about 14

Nuri Sahin

Bittencourt is on. I'm happy

Never mind that match against Germany, they were pish that day

Kylo Ren

Would love if Bittencourt scored.

Lawrence1895

3 minutes added, I guess, the ref loves the way, Borussia Dortmund plays

Francie Barrett

Man City just could not handle the physicality and tempo that Dortmund played with.

Dortmund are a bit like Barca on steroids

Lawrence1895

Balotelli? Hahahahaha :P

Jelle1880

City have been absolutely **** in this CL campaign, Mancini's job could very well hang in the balane here.

Will I Amnt

What an absolutely pathetic campaign for City. Shameful stuff with a squad like that.

Francie Barrett

Dortmund probably have half the budget that City have, but twice the team

applehunter

Man. City poor again.

Nasri
Maicon
Barry
Lescott

Either shown up or not hungry enough for this level.

Or as they said on the radio station, I was listening to, they were resting themselves for the derby against United

Anyway, who thought, Borussia would be on top after the group stages? I didn't tbh...but I'm delighted :cool:

Think he could be gone in the summer alright. Was a tough group though to be fair. If they were in Arsenal's or United's group they'd have strolled through.

But that's neither here nor there. Zero wins is poor no doubt about it

I doubt it's anywhere near half city's budget, it'd be surprised it they even had 1/3rd city's operating budget.

Nuri Sahin

Too easy.. and with a much weakened side.

peterswellman

Gutted that City couldn't get a win tonight. The Europa league is a punishment not a prize.

supersean1999

some stares between balo big head and mancini at the end of the game, iv been saying it was yrs mario is not well in the head, a waste of talent and a plonker to top it off,

FatherTed

City with the worst performance in group stages by an English club in CL history.
