Match Thread | Man City vs WBA (21/03/15)

This place is deserted.

All the undercover rags can't be arsed as we are playing well.

That's a point a lot of the regulars aren't here. Pastor Kidney (for example) and his Temple of Doom flock are conspicuous by their absence. It's actually quite relaxing today for a change!

Fernando has been excellent today.

I know WBA haven't attacked much but any time there has been a slight hint of them retaining the ball he is all over them like a rash. Also, he has kept our attacks moving with some superb ball retention.

If he keeps this up then there could be a top player in there after all.

Not slagging him in anyway but I don't think he has been excellent. He was turned fairly easily by Berahino early on and almost gave away the ball just outside our box later in the half. He is now playing in a completely unthreatened area which would make me look like a Premier League player. The only thing I agree with these unfuriating American commentators about is that the match would have likely been much different without Dawson's poor decision.

Second half with no sound. I just can't cope with listening to the dulcet tones of the Chester raconteur.

Hargreaves on BT Sport says it's a shame about the red card mistake as it's spoiled the game....twat....sending off one of their players for a last man foul was correct decision, the fact the ref sent off the wrong player is almost irrelevant

It's official.. Fernando is wba killer :)

They blame Mangalas high boots because of his incredible leap.. Lawl.

I'm forced to watch an American stream and the commentators said, verbatim: "The red card is a shame because West Brom could have been a banana skin." He went on to say the same phrase several times and lament the fact that Albion "weren't allowed to make it difficult for them", as if the sending off wasn't justified or we forced Dawson to make a bad early challenge.

It has been infuriating to listen to all of their anti-City comments (at one point, when Bony made the knock on for Lampard, one of them said "it's like they have been watching Barca" and the other responded "they had been" before they had a laugh).

Peter Drury and Jim Beglin who are the BT sport commentators also used by NBC

I truly long for technology to advance to the stage where the viewer can isolate and exclude individuals.

I am watching the same feed in hong kong and there were multiple expletives muttered at the tv at the 'they could have been a banana skin' comment. Even my chelsea supporter dad found the comments quite entertaining.

I think they all walked past the bog after you just pinched one off boss :-D
Walking off gagging like a hairballing cat haha.

We have done very well red card or not, we have our chin up and have shown a bit of gumption.
This is all i can ever ask for as a fan really.

That twat mills said the same thing . Said its 'ruined the game'. To be fair, it prob has ruined it for them as they want us to lose.
