Special mention to Milner and Garcia two players I have been moaning about lately, always feels great when City players makes you eat a bit of humble pie!
Rodwell proved today why Mancini wanted to sign him fantastic today.
If Rodwell can overcome his injury problems and Nasty continues to develop then that summer transfer window may not appear so bad in the future.

Thought we were lucky to come up against a truly insipid Chelsea. We still lacked width and were too one-dimensional, but two well-taken goals against a poor defence covered that.

Rodwell is an entirely different player to de jong. He is more box - to - box, he is tall, elegant (elfish), has great technique, especially with his shooting, versatile and also tough tackling. His development has been disrupted with injuries but hopefully he can kick that to the curb and really start the journey to realising his potential.
I certainly rate him highly.

Not bad mate but must try a bit harder.
Filth on the wind up are usually a little more subtle (and intelligent).
If you want to see how to be a deep lying rag on a blue forum just drop billy or dismal a PM. They're the experts.
Sorry fellas (DD and BS)...just joking.
