No Complaints as the better team by far won fair & square. TBH, I think this was probably the best result as its brought us all back down to earth with a bump.
We were lucky with Dzeko's goal but never really in the match as a force. I dunno why we started with Milner in the middle & Silva on the left, but it started poorly for us and apart from the last 15 minutes of the 1st half, it was all The Rags.
They looked really good today as they have throughout pre-season and they played like a team with a point to prove which again they did...... play to the final whistle!!!! It made it all the worse for me that they took off most of their experienced players and brought their kids on and still trampled all over us in the second half!!!
I believe this result will also strengthen Mancini's case for the urgent acquisition of ball-playing reinforcements out wide, in the middle and cover/competition for Silva. God knows what we'd do if he ever got injured!!! If today's match doesn't prove to the doubters and those who are overly concerned with FFPR that we need the likes of Nasri, Mata & Sneijder now, nothing else will!!!
I feel fuckin sick, but at least it's with the knowledge that the better team by a country mile won... Fair play to the fuckin Rag hordes!!! Cue the phone calls, text messages, emails, fuckin Rag twats beating down my front door after they 'just happened to be passing my house'!!!
Rant over.... I'm taking the laptop upstairs with me and retiring to bed cos I feel fuckin ill!!! :-(
PS: Funnily enough 30 minutes has passed since the final whistle and I haven't heard from one Rag yet!!! I dunno what's worse, hearing from them after a defeat or them doing to me what I do to them which is to do nothing and be happy in the knowledge that they are hurting like fuck on the inside and them knowing that I know they're hurting...........
Dribble
