They've had the chances, especially from set pieces, just not finding the finish.

I call dibs!

Much better from Hull, so far.

Hull were better in the opening 10 mins and looking dangerous on the break. Then Kompany got sent off and City sat back. Hull looked like they didn't know what to do with all the possession.

Red card fucked up Hull's game plan much more than City's, especially with the goal. It suits City much more to sit back and counter. Hopefully Bruce comes up with something that changes that. For those asking, it's only a one match ban as is always the case with denying a goal scoring opportunity: http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/~/media/Files/PDF/TheFA/FA%20Handbook%2009%2010/SectionsABC_FAHandbook.ashx/SectionsABC_FAHandbook.pdf (page 21, paragraph ©)

There was no confirmation of that by the club and no mention of it by any media source, IIRC. So, for all we know, he might still be coaching (even though he does not have actually coaching badges).

Did he actually leave with the fsw? I think he might still be at the club actually.

Doing very well so far. Looking like the better side.

City's game is not easy at all. They've never won at Hull in the PL.

An actual panther?! That must have been frightening!

Right, moving on... If Torres is not fit for today, I hope Demba starts.

Adorable!

Ferreira over Iva at RB, but other than that I'd choose the exact same XI with an honorary mention for the Bison.

Happy belated birthday, Rapha!

That sounds delicious...

No one from east Asia. I guess, all those preseason tours have gone to waste..

Right, because he's never scored a great goal for us in a crucial match...

Then there was the one minutes later when Didier put him through but he hesitated and Carragher blocked the shot. I'll never forget that game, I was so excited to see Torres in Blue at the time. Boy how life can disappoint you!

I think if we win and Arsenal don't then we can definitely count them out of the race, if they are even still in it now.

Exactly! We come back from 2-0 at the home of probably the best European team in history with 10 men and we are lucky, while City lose to the worst Barca team in years and they are heroic!

Can't believe City are actually getting praise for tonight. They didn't play great, Barca were just bad and City failed to capitalize. Also, this:
