Southampton v City

Barr

What was Barry at

mike65

City seem to be the new Liverpool but not in a good way (for them!)

Lord TSC

Between that and Hart's mistake, you'd wonder about match fixing claims :P

dfx-

That kind of defending isn't far off Zagreb v Lyon sort of force

City just don't seem to be on the ball at all today. Not that I'm complaining .

double GG

What is Clichy at at all?

PhlegmyMoses

Southampton playing fantastic football.

double GG

Milner for Nasri.

Honestly can see City scoring because of the hear amount of attacking soton are doing.

City look like they're happy with their one title. The look like they don't have the hunger to bother about going for more!

double GG

Good stop Boruc.

Cantona's Collars

City being put under serious pressure at times.Looking dodgy at the back.

City don't look up for this at all, so stagnant in midfield and their defending is comical.

Mr.Crinklewood

"Schneiderlin" - great name.

That's the example of the squad I'm talking about. They spent a fortune on this squad, go 3-1 down in a match and can only bring on two defenders and James Milner. Crazy situation.

How many strikers has Mancini just given away?


Quite a few, admittedly a lot of them were ****e.

It's ten past three in Lan Kwai Fong in Hong Kong, and at the moment it's a very happy Chinese New Year for me at the moment, if it stays the same in the City game and United win tomorrow night I'll be a happy camper, hope you's are enjoying the game. Here's hoping Southampton can hold put.

It's not just strikers though. On the wings they could maybe bring on Scot Sinclair and after that, they're thin on the ground. I just feel that they could have waited around and gotten more bang for their buck than paying huge amounts for the likes of Milner, Nasri, Balotelli, Dzeko etc.

Hank Scorpio

Are city down to 9 men?

Will I Amnt

Hats off to Southampton, they have City run ragged at the end of the game.

I thought you were going to Bangkok.

Nowt wrong with Dzeko or Milner imo. Nasri, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired.

The problem is the money the cost. Don't think they're worth near £55m between them, and Dzeko is probably on around £160k/week and Milner on maybe around £90k

Mr.Crinklewood

Southampton have had some great moves.

Anyone else having trouble with Boards.ie tonight?

Not necessarily saying that they're bad players in the grand scheme of things. But it's all relative. If I'm spending that much on players, I'm not buying those lads, unless I'm getting a good deal which wasn't the case for either player.

Mr.Nice Guy

Joe Hart said the title race was over if they didn't beat Southampton. Wonder what Mancini will say.

Typical of a player sold by Arsenal tbh, rare they perform as well as they did for a season or 2 while at Arsenal.

I think he'll either say its over or it's over if United win tomorrow.

Mr.Crinklewood

That writing on the back wall...

Did I miss an injury?

peterswellman

You need two goals at Southampton in injury time?

Get in!

Paul Tergat

Thanks Saints. From the Devils!

Still a long way to go. Could see Everton beating us tomorrow, and United threw away the same lead last season. It's Utd's to lose, but I wouldn't be uncorking the champagne for a while yet.

Very true. Nothing won it just gives us better chance.

Israel_Dagg

Gonna do a Xavi6 on it and only comment when the result goes my way

Thanks saints

Talib Fiasco

F*ck me what a load of ring that was. And here was I looking forward to the period when United had to play Champions League as well as EPL. Still optimistic we can bring it back but United will have to lose at least twice in their next 5 games for anything decent to happen towards the end of the year.

JaMarcus Hustle

Composed finish, and a cool celebration.

Mr.Nice Guy

Worth pointing out that United's next game after the Everton match is on the 23rd away to Q.P.R. City play the next day against Chelsea at home.

If United win those next two games they will be 15 points clear before City play Chelsea.

It's actually pretty annoying the difference in narrative between Hart and De Gea and it has been like that since De Gea first moved to England.

I know I must sound like a broken record saying that but it doesn't stop it from being true.

John Barnes with some good analysis today, actually. I was impressed with him.

I would, as there is no way Man Utd are going to lose the title now. City are in a nose dive IMO and Man Utd can afford to lose 3 games and still win the title.

djPSB

Mancini should get the door.

His transfer dealings over the last year were pretty appalling.

For the neutral or a non Man Utd supporter it makes the league so dull and predictable. Mancini has a team of overpaid players who could not care less. A good possibility of City finishing outside the top 4, and that opinion not just on today's game.

Awww a call out? I'm flattered

God forbid I be too busy to post in the match thread :eek: But you're right, for the past ten years I've only posted when City win which is why my post count has only really rocketed in the last four years.

Thoughts going in the superthread if you *really* care what I think, but I doubt it

Why not give Sinclair a run or Rodwell. Aguero not on form this season, so why play him in every game. Getting rid of de Jong, why? Clueless at times.

Haha.

Nah I've noticed you never comment when Utd go behind, you leave it til they are certain they have dropped points to avoid posters coming back and rubbing your nose in it.
