I'm thinking he'll play Dzeko instead as he played Nedge on Saturday. Other than that, I think this is pretty much on the money.

Ooh, I've just found the email I got last year with the free NowTV codes for Sky Sports in it! I've got two left and they need using by April 10th, so I'm queueing up tonight's game and the match against the Gooners on Saturday!

TEAM NEWS: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany (C), Demichelis, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Nasri, Silva, Navas, Dzeko

Just announced, not convinced myself but time will tell.

by blueboy Tue Mar 25, 2014 7:05 pm

That's pretty attacking....with Navas, only problem is Yaya will sit.

by Guest Tue Mar 25, 2014 7:05 pm

What a surprise no city representative in the coverage again.

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 7:49 pm

Who cares? We're representing ourselves on the pitch!

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:18 pm

How I'd Fellaini still on the pitch? Dirty little shit...

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:37 pm

How was shrek not booked for that?? Still, this rag side aren't offering too much so far and we should be more than one up.

by blueboy Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:39 pm

Fucking disgraceful from the 'little boy' referee.....

Fellaini an absolute dirty twat. Deliberate elbow in the face of Zaba....he books our players for fouls, but Rooney, the bald headed scouse wanker, tackles from behind and gets nothing???

Still, 1-0 up....but apart from that, we've been very wasteful in the final third....Yaya consistently picks the ball up in the centre circle, absolutely no-one near him...could run 25-30 yrds with the ball...but he decides to play a simple pass sideways!

We need to seriously up our decision making, as we should be 3-0 up here....Navas has been very wasteful, so has Silva....all in all, 1-0 up is OK, but we've really been average overall....we can do much better when attacking.

For me, apart from his goal, Dzeko's been crap...get Negredo on....at least he can control a ball.

Come on.......

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:44 pm

I disagree with you on Dzeko, he's looked pretty sharp so far. I think Fernandinho has been less than impressive.

Still, one nil is better than nowt.

All three games tonight are one nil to the away side. How weird is that?

by Guest Tue Mar 25, 2014 8:45 pm

We are sitting back though, need to press more like we did to Barca, they won't be able to handle it.

Fellini still being on is an absolute disgrace! But utd don't get decisions at old toilet do they! Tossers.

Nah...disagree...he's been lazy...he's not making any runs into the box when we have the ball with Nasri, Navas or Silva...they then have to play the ball back inside as they've no-one to play the ball into feet to...as he's lumbering around the place. Still, if he scores again, I'm happy to eat my words.

Even Scholes said it was a clear red card. Wanker of a ref.

by blueboy Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:01 pm

words being eaten.... Razz

Never saying anything about Dzeko again.... Embarassed

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:03 pm

Oh, you beauty!!!!

by Guest Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:05 pm

Shut it out now, no need to be clever.

by Guest Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:35 pm

Easy easy easy

by Mainerdwasmychurch Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:47 pm

My hands only stopped sweating when yaya stroked it home.........were on a charge and we have that swagger back that we had for the first 5 months of the season.......COME ON THE BLUES...!!!!!!!!

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:50 pm

Piece of cake, United are utter crap this season.

Now we're up to second, just three points behind Chelsea and two games in hand. And Arsenal shot themselves in the foot as well!

by Guest Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:52 pm

5th straight clean sheet too! Roll on the gooners

by titbumwilly Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:52 pm

Why the hell did I ever doubt that we'd spank them?
That was their cup final, and they couldn't even get up for it!

by **shakencity** Tue Mar 25, 2014 9:56 pm

Great result and deserving victory. That should put those deluded Rag fans, who thought they had a chance tonight, right back in their shells.

There can't be any let up now.

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:02 pm

It made me laugh that they thought beating two crap teams would mean they were back on top. Talk about deluded!

by **shakencity** Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:09 pm

Was it just me, or did anyone else think Demichelis played well tonight......not as well as Silva, Fernandinho and Vince mind, but still pretty good.

by **leopold** Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:15 pm

Not just you, I thought he had a solid game as well.

Poor Scholes, he looks like he wants to go home for a good cry!!

by **Topdawg** Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:21 pm

He gave the ball away a couple of times in the 2nd half but he made some good tackles as well.

by blueboy Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:25 pm

Happy to say....DeM had a decent game tonight....still, one or two dodgy passes nearly cost us...but overall, very solid and he read the game really well.

Moyes.....you've got to think he is the biggest COCK on the planet.....asked in his post match interview:

"Thoughts on Fellaini's elbow on Zabaletta?"

his reply...

"I've not seen it, you normally do show it to me, but I thought at the time that it wasn't even a free kick"

Bless him....he looks like he's about to keel over with embarrassment at his and his teams ineptitude.

Don't ya love it????

Superb performance all round. We didnt even break a sweat !

Looking forward to work tomorrow Very Happy

by **Wensdi** Wed Mar 26, 2014 12:42 am

We had 2 very unbiased commentators who clearly thought City were far superior to them. Clear red for Fellaini - evil bastard and Rooney was very lucky. Spineless ref. All the City fans singing "Fergie Fergie - give us a wave" - laughed at that. I felt sorry for Nasri as he didn't have a good night and Kompany needs to watch those early yellows - he thought he'd got sent off for that last tackle - even took off his armband. Martin had a good game - and poor old Zab - he will be very sore tomorrow. What a warrior. Nerve wracking for a while tho wasn't it?

by **Topdawg** Wed Mar 26, 2014 5:54 am

Even at 2-0 I was worried - cityitis.

Gave a cheer when Yaya scored.

by titbumwilly Wed Mar 26, 2014 8:23 am

Me too Dawg. Kept saying to the boy, even with less than ten minutes to go, that I thought they'd scrape a flukey draw.
Will Cityitis ever be out of my system?

by blueboy Wed Mar 26, 2014 9:21 am

Guess it's now part of our DNA...I said exactly the same thing, they'll get one back and then score a last second equaliser!

by skyblueoz Wed Mar 26, 2014 10:15 am

Sad to say I am still yet to see the game. Was on at 03.45am, so recorded it. Got home from work switched on the box and found i'd recorded uniturd v west ham. Luckily it is on again later so reset recorder whilst I am out playing squash so will prob get to see it about 10.00pm tonight.

Blue keep giving Dzeko grief as it appears he likes to score when you do. I expect you to really lay into him during the Arsenal game. United vs Man City - Match Thread Icon_twisted
