Re: CS sold out my arse!

Nothing is more annoying than wanting to go to a game,being told it is sold out then seeing on tv loads of empty seats!

Whoever is responsible for this cock up,City and/or Villa need a kick up the arse,depriving fans who want to go to a game from seeing it live!

City got 13,500 tickets and it looked like there were many more than that at the ground.

We played well, but what impressed me most was the players attitude and mentality, if there were ever any doubts about the desire of this group of players to push on then I think it's been put to bed in fine style.

Chelsea ? Thought they were VERY dirty and cynical, and I'm not totally convinced they weren't out to seriously injure some of our players in the hope it would hold us back around the start of the season, they could clearly see we were quite a bit better than them even with a new start and personel, that must have been very frustrating for the Champions League winners to know they're still some way behind us.

Di Matteo has defended the red card tackle to boot....fucking twat.

Did he? I quite liked him before but having heard that he's just a pan-faced, slap-headed twat.

To be fair to him (and I do like him), most managers will not hang their player out to dry in public in a similar position. What he might say to Ivanovic in the privacy of the dressing room or the training ground is another matter. When I first saw the tackle (before the replays came up) I thought the red card might have been a bit on the harsh side. The replays clearly show that the ref was correct though. Indeed, they were fortunate to not have at least one more player dismissed.

I thought we looked pretty strong and bossed the game on the whole.Chelsea relied on breakaways and their goal was against the run of play but well taken.

Their second came as a result of us switching off,especially De Jong and a bad error by Pantimillion.

Once we went in front we coasted it but that stupid second goal could have cost us and i am sure Mancini will impress on them the need to kill off teams quicker and keep focused.

All in all though a good afternoon and another trophy in the cabinet.

Good to hear Lee Dixon actually finishing off his sentences instead of some twat interrupting him all the time
