First of all I want to give Micah Richards credit as I have been one to question him but recently he has been on top form and is showing all the passion and commitment we need at the moment.
Secondly what is all this media nonsense about Aston Villa not playing their first team last night, they seem to have put a spin on it to imply that if they,d have had the likes of Downing and Young playing they'd have beaten us comfortably but they seem to have forgotten that we beat their so called first team 4-0 on December 28th, also we were missing far more influential players last night such as Kompany, De Jong, Johnson etc not to mention starting Tevez on the bench.
Am I being paranoid or is it Manchester City are banned from receiving any credit when they play well?
For the record to any Aston Villa fans on here I thought you were a poor side to be honest, both your first team in December and last nights looked pretty average to me but you do have a couple of good youngsters ie Bannan but you are no longer a force and are in the Nottingham Forest and Leeds United category these days.
