Re: Congratulations Southampton

Thats bollocks, they were lucky it wasn't 8 fucking nil. Webb helped them. Oh and thier fans were cunts cheering agueros injury. Cunts , hope they go straight back down.

This

Well not really, because their fans probably assumed Aguero was just another European Import that feigns injury which we all know that he isn't, and it wouldn't have been 8-0, it would have been 8-2. There is no need for the bitterness. Job done, even though it was in an awkward way.

Not one of the knobs clapped him as he was stretched off past them, they were still doing the diving expression and calling him a cheat. Scum the lot of them

Some of this.

Fucking disgrace applauding what looked like a bad injury.

BIG reality check for the squad.

I agree with what Neville said before the game that it's not necessarily harder to retain the title. I believe that to be a "myth", and all froth and bubble from the papers.

In my opinion what happened is, we had a great pre-season, beat a full strength Chelsea (dominated them in my opinion, score line flattered Chelsea), and went into this game against the new guys with a sense of "turn and up we'll win". Not only that losing your star player so early on, and not putting away those early chances rumbled a few I think.

Eventually these things will be drummed into the players. You can't relax in this league, not for one minute against any team. It's clear the quality of the lower league teams and promoted teams gets better and better every seasons and the league gets tougher. The scum know this and it's instilled into their mentality. We, like every other team, have to learn these things the hard way.

The team is great, and has all the skill to move forward on this.

We won which is the main thing. Off to a good start with 3 points on the board. We'll know what to change and get right for the game at Anfield now!

Hopefully the defence will have got its act together for next weekend. If we play at Klanfield like we did (defensively) in the second half today, even the chief Klansman will score. Every time Saints pushed forward after half time, the defence looked downright iffy.

Re: Arrogance

did we win ??

yes but many thought it would be double figures

Did they? Double figures you say?
What the fuck have you been sniffing?

Similarly, on the way home a girl phoned in saying something similar on national radio. Her experience was in complete contrast to my experience within the ground where people were very supportive of the team rather than sitting back expecting us to win.

However some fans seem happy to slate the entire fanbase based on the misguided comments of one or two individuals as if its representative of the fans outlook. It however makes you wonder the motives of the said individual.

To the OP seen has we have only managed to score double figure maybe twice in our history do you not think this may have been tongue in cheek or wishful thinking or do you seriously think this is an example of arrogance?

I'm quite surprised he didn't go 352 formation today against Southampton, I doubt we'll do it against Liverpool but we looked solid with that formation... Today I was nervy every time they pressed

We pushed too high and perhaps didn't give the Saints enough credit to their counter. I agree the defense looked shaky, but as Mancini said, they've only been together for 2 weeks or so, and this is the first game since the QPR game we've actually played Zab/Komps/Lescott/Clichy if I remember correctly.

I wouldn't be too worries, we have the coaching staff and players to be able to react!

Re: Arrogance

We will win the PL by 10-15 points.

We will get to the Cl final against Barca. It will go to pens and we will win. :)

 

[rastus]

Aside from Tevez, Clichy and Nasri we jist weren't at the races. When your not playing well and win that's when you show your marks as a team.

I like the look of Rodwell, clearly not trying anything spectacular and bar the mistake he did ok. He will get better.

Dzeko needs to wake up aside from the goal it was same old no control, can't pass, can't hold up. The way the game was we just couldn't be doing that.

Start fresh this week lads in training and really show it next week.

Dzeko? you blame a dodgy perfomance on a sub who scored ffs.
Rodwell was OK

 

[Halfpenny]

'That' corner

What the fuck happened? I could tell from the other side of the pitch it should've been a goal kick, just to get that out of the way. But did Webb change his mind and ask us to give it straight to the keeper on account of it being played on the big screen, or did we do it of our own accord? Either way, left us disorganised at the back for the Southampton goal and the big screen operator dropped a bollock showing it.

 

[CityCTID]
