Noisy Neighbours - the Man City thread

Toure(especially) and Sterling need to hone their diving skillz too.

Yep, they could  do with lessons. Perhaps they should have a word with Monreal.

One journalsit was moved to write this when you got the penalty at the Eitihad last time we played you:

"Arsenal’s left back looked like a sky diver, using the friction of Kompany’s body to launch himself into the night air and executing a safe landing with some cushioned rolls. It was tempting to applaud the audaciity" Even Wenger said he had been told it didn't look like a penalty.

Bild reports £18m a year for Guardiola from City at the end of the season

 KDB and Silva both brilliant yesterday but it has to be said against a weak Sunderland team.

Just seen this stat on a City forum:

KDB - including his City and Belgium appearances since September  has played a total of 2198 minutes and in total 14 goals and 13 assists.

Ozil - including  his Arsenal and Germany appearances  has played a total of 2359 minutes for 4 goals and 16 assists.

Yep, Sunderland very poor team. How the fuck Cattermole is still plying his trade (kicking the crap out of people) in the Premier League is beyond me.

Frustrating situation with Kompany; fear for his long term future if he can't shift these frequent injuries. He's naturally athletic enough to play on well into his 30's, providing his joints and muscles hold up. Get him wrapped in cotton wool!

More of the same from KDB please, guy is worth the ticket price alone.

What was the spat with Aguero when he came off? Just annoyed at being subbed or something else?

My local is flooded so had to watch it elsewhere last night, and unfortunately it meant that Leeds vs Derby got commentary priority.

he thought he should have had a penalty (Inler challenge) and had a go at the fourth official, Mike Jones

it was a penalty (the assistant gave a corner, which it wasn't), but Aguero gave it such the Greg Louganis that he did himself no favours

Sterling in the first half aside, i thought the City front four were very disappointing. Yaya was playing very deep too (protecting the back four against the pace on the counter?) so couldn't influence the game

As for Otamendi simulating at the end. get up man, you looked pathetic

[horseplayer]

Thought the city back 4 played well all in all

Was a stone wall penalty no surprise he was aggrieved

So disappointed with players after final whistle, 6 city players go straight down the tunnel, not even the decency for the 4000 blues who travelled for a night game, City fans were not happy.

Which 6 disappeared? Could probably guess....

Doesn't tend to happen when Kompany plays, he tries to ensure that all the players at least acknowledge the away following. They have no obligation to do it of course, but its a nice gesture and always good to see them do that, especially at this time of the year when money is tight and games come thick and fast.

In Poznan, after a shit performance from the team and a 3-1 defeat (IIRC), Adam Johnson moved quicker than he'd moved all night to head down the tunnel bang on the final whistle. Kidd stopped him on the touchline and pointed up to us in the away end. We got 2 on the spot claps from Johnson and off he went. Enjoy the Championship.....or prison.

Sterling, Otto, Sagna, and surprisingly KDB,Joe was chest beating in front off us all

Here is the league table after 19 games in 2013/2014. Hopefully the outcome is the same:)

+33 GD is insane!

Closest this year is Spurs at +18

We were smashing anyone and everyone who rocked up at Eastlands that year

If memory serves me right, Sunderland we're the only team to take anything away from Manchester that season, and they were on for a 3-1 win until 2 late City goals snatched a point.

[hhyftrftdr]

Thoughts on Aguero being linked with a multi multi million pound move away?

Cashing in on him would have been an inconceivable notion a year or 2 ago....

Finished the season at +65.  The 2nd highest in PL history. Chelsea were up at +71 in 2010.
