Just watched that for about 5 minutes straight

The simplicity of it is what makes it so great to watch.

I love how everybody comments that we play football in the 'right way' this season.

ESPN produce some very strange things:

<a class="postlink" href="http://espnfc.com/video/espnfc/video/_/id/1675689/league/latest?cc=5901" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://espnfc.com/video/espnfc/video/_/ ... st?cc=5901</a>

That's possibly the least funny video I've ever watched.

Not the least funny (the Hitler videos have become like nails on a chalkboard for me) but I agree, it is near the top of the list.

It does make me wonder why I spend 65-75 hours a week at my current position when I could just produce that drivel.

One of my favourite parts of that gif, when Nasri plays the last pass to Yaya and his arms flap 90 degrees in less than half a second. Random.

He needed to stretch to control the last pass as it wasn't quite to feet, so the outstretch was for balance and body shape.

Sorry, I realised that, just the speed at which his arms flap, that is what I was amazed by haha

Lovely to watch, that. Was this part of the 26 pass build-up to the 5th goal? Could someone post those passes?

As regards playing football in the 'right way', this is from the BBC website preview of today's match. Apologies if already posted.

Roll up, roll up. The greatest show on earth is coming to town!

That's how it feels to me with Manchester City at the moment, with star artists having been assembled from all over the world and encouraged to perform with style and freedom by Manuel Pellegrini - a ringmaster who brings a touch more pizzazz than his predecessor Roberto Mancini.

Yes it's nice to watch. What's more impressive is that they can do that stuff at a hundred miles an hour, when they've got Liverpool and Arsenal players pressing them. Because to be fair, West Ham are standing round admiring it almost. Looks like a training session.

Looking at that more closely, I like the way the West Ham number 11 half-heartedly presses Yaya and then just sort of gives up as if to say "Aw, fuck it, what's the point ?"

I think the roger Johnson defending clip points out it's all relative to the standard of the opposition which was not much better than Sunday morning pub team standard

tough one this, I have always thought that our 2-0 win there in the title winning season was our most crucial away in of the season.

Was the biggest win in our season. Hard game tomorrow.
