The Marc Vivien Foe early kick off

Xavi6

City v West Ham at the Etihad Stadium.

The 23rd minute will see Marc Vivien Foe's image on the big screens with a minute's applause to remember the man as the 10th (can't believe it's been a decade) anniversary of his passing is near.

Nice touch from all involved.

City: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Lescott, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Barry, Silva, Tevez, Nasri, Aguero.

Subs: Pantilimon, Kolo Toure, Nastasic, Kolarov, Garcia, Milner, Dzeko.

Strong side so very happy with that. Haven't seen their team.

West Ham are unchanged.

Anyone

Still a bunch of long ball merchants then? :P

10 years, Jesus where does the time go? :eek:

Xavi6

What a player Foe was, magnificent during his unfortunately brief spell with us. Similar to both Yaya and Diame in a lot of ways, both of whom will play today.

Johner

Empty seats everywhere.

Wonderful player. I still remember talking him up to a friend that morning and that same mate ringing me up later on in the day to tell me he had passed away

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Real end of season feel to this. Neither team playing with much purpose.

Hammer Archer

Christ has it really been 10 years. He was a very good player for us.

Scorpion Sting

Aguero hits the post, City in total control.

Xavi6

That was really nice from both sets of fans, great to see.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Nice goal, seemed too easy.

Ouch, sick goal.

Xavi6

Sexy football

Tevez and Vaz Te on the pitch at the same time.

Hopefully the Skyblues leading their EPL tie will cheer up their Abou Diaby owner. #fullmoon #mcfc #shaungoatee

Xavi6

Yaya! :eek:

Nuri Sahin

Well that wasn't a half bad hit...

Toure, 2-0

ScummyMan

City needed that goal, West Ham just starting to threaten.

Nuri Sahin

Hart down with an itchy scalp by the looks of it.

Darkglasses

Oh crumbs

Nuri Sahin

Lulz keeping.. and I had City Win to Nil. Eejit.

2-1, Carroll.

ScummyMan

Hart

Xavi6

Should've put Yaya in goal for the last five.

Nuri Sahin

We may have to let him off that one - Sky, loltastic.

Jimmy Iovine

Sky are ****ing eejits. The commentators haven't a clue. Commentators in general don't seem to have a clue about the players on the pitch. Heard one say that Valencia was having his "usual excellent game" on Monday night against Villa.

Until Hart literally throws a ball into the goal in the World Cup final Sky will be bigging him up to be the best in the world. De Gea would be driven out of England for a mistake like that.

Yawn all you want, it's not far off being true. Hart gets away with murder. De Gea's consistency is still being questioned despite the fact that he hasn't put a foot wrong in months.

Forgive me for being bored at the tediousness of it being brought up every time Hart does anything wrong.

Are you surprised the English media don't pounce of one of their own? I'm not, it makes perfect sense.

It's been going on for years with various different players anyway and it's really not that big a deal.
