The second assist is just class. Do you think Kevin is ready to step up at chelsea next season? Or is a loan for another year better for him in your opinion?

I know how you feel mate, I was just about to post the same thing here. I feel like ripping my own head off! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Exactly my thoughts!

+100000000

I think that Roman is more than capable of paying the 27m that Dzeko cost and Garry cahil actually cost more than Kompany (7m opposed to 6m). And Dzeko had only one Bundes Liga while Kompany won nothing with Hamburg (won 2 Belgian leagues with Anderlecht though), not exactly the silverware that would satisfy any player, imo. They weren't even headed towards the end of their career either. I think they realized that the potential successes that City will have over the next few years and wanted to be part of it. I think many players will see that at chelsea as well.

And how good our negotiators are. (judging by past signing fees/contracts I'd say they're terrible)

City signed the likes of Silva, Dzeko, Kompany and many more while playing in Europa league. My point is: If we can convince a player that we have an important project going on and that we will be playing CL the following season, I see no reason why any player won't sign for us.

:lol: I spilled my drink when I read that, most I laughed in weeks! :lol2:

Why did Ozil get a red card? Edit: I think I understand why he was frustrated:

I am now convinced that we will not make 4th place. We blew our chances during the dec-Jan period. But as zolayes so wisely said, it's not a big deal. One year away from the CL is not the end of the world, imo, even with FFP rules. Having to cut down our wage bill might will force us to do what we should have done two years ago. Don't see much sense in the argument that we can't get any players in the summer if we don't make 4th place. Juve the like of Del Piero and Camoranesi and Buffon etc...when they played in the second division because all those players believed that in a couple of years Juve will back in the CL and competing for titles.

Yes his passing was (to borrow Francozola's favorite word ) atrocious, but that is expected. He actually wasn't all that bad yesterday, he ran more than anyone else on the pitch and was keen to defend (which is jaw-dropping, knowing his usual performances. I guess having him further up the pitch helps since his inevitable stray passes to create too much threat on our goal.

What does that have to do with anything? How would have Torres prevented any of the goals? Its like saying: "My dad closed the window when we were 1-0 up. My is to blame for us loosing"! My MOTM is mikel. Was excellent in the middle, made some great interceptions, and even covered for bosingwa's (head-less chicken) forward runs.

If he is out for Tottenham, Ferreira has to start. This match can define our season (whether or not we play CL football next season), We can't afford to Bossingwa. (No spelling mistake. Bossingwa is the new word for "f*ck up")

We'd still be 2 points behind them and our fixtures are: Villa (A) Wigan (H) Fulham (A) Arsenal (A) QPR (H) Liverpool (A) BlackBurn (H) vs Tottenham's: Swansea (H) Sunderland (A) Norwich (H) QPR (A) BlackBurn (H) Villa (A) Fullham (H)

Who are you and what have you done to the real Sloth?!

^^ I agree. The pre-match should be given a bit more time before it is locked. Won't hurt to keep it for a few mins after the game, imo.

Seriously, what was going through essien's mind? There was no immediate danger from the ball. He really didn't have to stop that. I honestly think that City would not have got anything out of the game had it not been for that stupid mistake. They were not creating any serious chances and loosing confidence by the min.

Van der Vart equalized in stoppage. I think the expression is: when it rains, it pours.

It's been coming. Shit!

Let's be reasonable, that is given nine times out of ten.

1-1. Why Micheal? WHY??

FUCK. Unnecessary pen!

Drogba is coming on, for Torres no doubt. DL needs to calm down and show more composure.

How long can 20 mins last??!

This game is crying out for Drogba....so am I!
