I can't believe the posts on here slating the team and the manager and the tactics. At the end of the day it was a high intensity close game, it could have easily ended up 1-0 to us but it wasn't our day they got the goal! 1 point isn't much different that 0 points and i'm glad we went for it near the end!

De Jong was a warrior once again, Onouha, Bridge and AJ all did well as well! Unfortunately we just didn't have either the cutting edge or luck we needed up front!

The only thing that is begining to annoy me is that we lose every game I want us to win, Everton home and away, Spurs away and United home and away!
 
I doubt that, yes it was close, but never in a million years would things finally go city's way. ITs the way of things, three times in a season is not unlucky. The players and manager fail to realize how much this means to use, disgraceful what happened. It should not be possible to let them win three times this season by letting a goal in, in injury time. No club in the world is capable of this, how this club still has supporters in unreal. Comedy at its "finest".

Some of our fans are bleeding mental we had 2 good penalty shoots turned down, more and better chances than them twats, a **** for a ref. We didn't do that bad imo we where just unlucky in the last 20 seconds.
 
And its those games that i come away feeling we have such a long way to go to consistently compete with the top 4. The results against Burnley are insignificant when we not only lose but perform so badly against our rivals. We're still a one or two players away from being a top side.
 
It hurts like hell, but trying to be rational I dont think we did enought to win it.

Rags had two great chances 1st half, cant really remember Van der Sar having that much to do in either half really. We should not have got beat though, and the mentality is something that still needs to be changed.

The Scum dont settle for a point like most other sides, they keep going and that I think is the main difference between us and them at the moment.
This will change, 4th place is still in our hands and will remain so even if Spurs beat Chelsea.

Its all going to be down to home games against Villa & Spurs & I think we will need something at West Ham.

We can do it, we need to drive the team on and not get at certain players or the Manager.

We have what we have until the end of the season, the players need to know that we believe in them and back them all the way.

Shit day today, but keep the faith
 
Just got back and I can't believe some of the dumb ass comments on here. I hope people do regret what they've said. The I hate Man City thread is a fucking joke. (well, the 1st page, I had to stop reading it)

Yes this result hurts, badly! But it is not the end of the world, we're still in 4th and hopefully Chelsea will do us a massive favour. There are 4 games left, get behind the fucking team.
 
I guarantee I won't.

Sick of the unprofessional way we can't conentrate and keep the ball when it matters and every city manager I have ever known saying it's bad luck. It isn't and it matters most against the rags and we switch off time and again....all Bellers had to do was keep the ball why try a cross-field pass?

was a symptomn of his play all day, his decision making was shocking. And why Bobby didnt try and rotate Bellers and Adamo on the wings is beyond me, its like Bellers has the monopoly on the position even tho we have a left winger that could of had more effect against Neville cos he wasnt going to beat Evra for pace.

Funny that, because someone on another thread was claiming we lost because we sat back and didn't have the desire to really go for it at the end. Seems like that's exactly what Bellamy was doing. It didn't turn out well today, but if it had just got over the United player and SWP had run through and scored.... And the game was really that close - we could just as easily have won it, and then everyone decrying our tactics and motivation would be over the blue moon about how fantastic we were.

The thing is, for all the pain that's associated with losing to "them", their two late goals in the league have still only cost us 2 points - the same as we threw away by drawing against Hull at home. And drawing against Sunderland at home. And drawing against Burnley at home. And drawing against Fulham at home.

Also, bear in mind that to beat us on those occasions, they had to score with virtually the last kick of the game. Think about it. These games are now so close they turn on almost nothing (and if we keep at it, we'll get the breaks sooner or later against them).

Don't forget that we still control our own destiny in the race for 4th because although we've lost twice to United, we're learning how to beat everyone else (okay, not Everton or Spurs yet...). That's something we can feel really positive about. This season has a few twists and turns still to go, and we may yet get the last laugh on United and Spurs.
 
I've calmed down ....and sobered up.
That's why i'm wide awake now.
One goal was always gonna win it.
Giggs should have buried his chance 1st half.
The writing was on the wall.
Fcukin' red cnuts, i hate 'em.
To make things worse i've just learned that Spurs
beat Chelsea.....and i can't find any alcohol.
She's hid it somewhere.

Yep me too mate. any game they lose or draw I wanted them to win.

I think alot of people are sick to death of us doing this to ourselves, 3 late goals by the same team.
People are calling for bobbys head, and to be honest, who would do a job that would actually come? we have to remember the current team is not his, its hughes, he needs time to build not the bullet.
However I honestly believe that peoples initail reaction will be their true feelings and will not regret it.
 
Bloody hell, talk about over-reaction! I know that living in Northern California I don't have to put up with the crap that a lot of you are getting/going to get from red friends, family, and co-workers, but come on, are we suddenly crap after one slip-up is punished 15 seconds from time? Both sides made mistakes that could have led to goals. They happened to score on one of our mistakes.

Can't people judge performance separately from results? I bet if you edited out their goal and edited in one for us, but left the other 92 minutes exactly the same, most people would be more than satisfied with our performance and want Mancini to be given the job for life.

The self-pity really is stinking this place up at the moment. I just hope the players and manager have a more balanced response if we want to get that 4th CL spot (remember that? You know, that goal that's still there for the taking as long as we don't fall apart with the utter grief of unluckily losing one point). We lost today. Get over it.
 
I get the impression a lot of the moaners know nothing about football and suddenly remembered they were supporters when the money and big players came in.

Spot on.
As much as it pains me to say it I can remember a time in the not so distant past when i came away from Maine Road relieved we'd only lost a derby one nil.
Of course it hurts like hell losing to the rags - but get a grip.
Too many have got carried away with the hype surrounding us now and believe we are good enough to sit at the top table - well the reality is that we're not - not yet - and whingeing hysterically like spoilt kids is not going to change that.
As much as it pains me to say it Taggart continues to show why he has been the best there is for almost 20 years - but anyone who's been around for more than 20 years knows that success in football is cyclic - ask the scousers.
We have to believe that our time will come - that's what being a football fan is all about.....ask 'Dale fans.
 
I dont regret a word, our midfield sit to deep, its been doing it most of the season. I thought i saw a change against Burnley and Birmingham. It turned out to be another false dawn.

I realise this isn't Bob`s midfield with the exception of Vieria, who was bought in as a stop gap to try and add a bit of strength and height. But along with the full back position, midfield is our achilles heel

I look forward to his selections for next season, unfortunately if we dont get 4th, our choices will be restricted to players that aren't to arsed about playing in the cl.

Now to hide under the table.
I`m not optimistic about 4th spot, IMO we looked second best for the 4th time this season, against the worst rag team i have seen in many many years, The reason being, because they press, and have a belief they are the best, unfortunately this isn't the main reason, its the respect and fear of their opposition give to these bastards, that give them the edge.

This fear and respect has been well deserved over the years, but the times have change this is an aging team there for the taking if you have the confidence to give it a go, even two draws against them this season in the cup at the swamp and yesterday would have left them with nothing and would have me believing we could get 4th.

As a team however they are better than their individual parts, were we unfortunately are not.
