That really was a superb goal.

Aguero is a class act

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Ben Arfa can't do it all by himself.

Some of the dumbest long ball/crossfield passes being played by Newcastle.

And Debuchy has continued where he left off last season.

PhlegmyMoses

Tiote: Couldn't. Be. Arsed.

Hard to believe he's the player who used to spend his game kicking lumps out of and harassing every player on the pitch a season or two ago.

Yeah Ben Arfa looks a cut above the rest of them. Cisse was brushed off the ball way too easy in the build up to the second goal.

Really enjoying watching City here,

How quick from a position where Cisse had the ball did they score that goal, very impressive from the players involved.

Paully D

Andre Marriner has been Newcastle's best player so far.

Navas shows his Spanish side :rolleyes:

Starting to think that Debuchy's child hood idol was William Prunier.

Frankie Lee

I think it is safe to say that City are considerably stronger than last season, Fernandinho and Navas have slotted in very nicely and their pressing high up the pitch is impressive. Newcastle have been atrocious though.

Not sure if we look great, or Newcastle look shockingly awful, possibly both. I'm enjoying it though. Fernandinho, Navas, Zab and Dzeko having good games. Newcastle will get someone sent off soon if they don't cop on.

PhlegmyMoses

Maybe some Newcastle fans could tell me what exactly Guttierez is supposed to be good at. Never been impressed by him.

Taylor is some man.

He's gone now...

kaimera

ha, pld whoever called the red card a few mins ago.

super_furry

A booking could have sufficed there but Newcastle have already got away with two penalties.

bad2dabone

such a stupid thing to do.

nightmare for newcastle.

Feel for their fans.

Dempsey

Silly stuff by Taylor

karma_

What an idiot, literally 30 seconds from blagging his way out of a penalty shout.

Barr

that was stupid from tayler

Soldie

Pardieu to be sacked before the year is out?

super_furry

On this form, Newcastle already look like they're going to be in a relegation fight.

What law do you book him under? A ref invariably gives a red when there's any sort of elbow, punch or whatever around a player's head.

Doesn't he have an eight year contract?

No, straight red for me. He knew exactly what he was doing when swinging his arm there.

Absolutely stupid. Newcastle look awful.

I flipping hate those Paddy Power ads.

I know I'm only helping them by talking about them.

Rolling 1 year contract for 8 years. Seems like someone asks that question at least once a week.

It has a clause only entitling him to one years pay if sacked, if memory serves

Pardew really has to be a massive favour for first managerial casualty, they've been really awful.

Very happy with that:)

Turtwig

Very impressive stuff from City. Their pressing and compactness is stifling! Newcastle though have shot themselves in the foot! Stupidest sending off I've seen in a while and was that the same guy who got out jail with a penalty shout?

Chucky the tree

The rolling one year contract is about as believable as him having to paid off for his full 8 years.

Carraghers very f'ing hard to listen too

Wish sky could do a voice over when carragher is on or subtitles

We are absolutely fúcked. A complete and utter shambles.

And what with his f'ing hand gestures

bazual

Shocking first half performance. Not one player on that team could be arsed by the looks of it apart from maybe Jonas who always gives it all.

City should probably be 5 up and we're lucky they are not cos it will be at least that in the second half.

Taylor is just an idiot, no idea what he is thinking and always capable of doing something stupid like that in a game.

Morale seriously low with the whole Cabaye thing I reckon, floodgates about to open, enjoy City..............

I think he's good, accent is just very strong.

Darkglasses

If they could send Carra to BBC elocution lessons it'd be fantastic. He speaks a lot of sense IMO, but I can't really catch what he's saying about half the time.

Obviously I'm very happy with City's performance first half, Newcastle's shortcomings aside we've played quite well. But I really wish Dzeko had gotten his goal already.

Feel sorry for Newcastle fans, this is dreadful from them.

Dempsey

Carragher is quite good at the analysis aswell. His accent is abit jarring and high pitch when he's worked up about certain points, but still its good to see good analysts and less of the Jamie Redknapp types bleating on about literally top top players
