you realy think that or winding us up ?
i nthought we were playing the old wmbledon today, we had it won from the first min. they are a disgrace to english football, all they donr was kick ireland
Which game were you watching Corky? We ate those balls up all afternoon. Dunne & Onuoha had to work hard but were superb. In fact, we were singing "What's it like to see a pass?" to the Rovers fans.Corky said:Pitty we could not deal with it that well, even when Samba went off and Pederson was up front v Dunne we still struggled. Big centre back needed !

We did not win any. We lost the second ball too. Samba won every header.
Dunne couldn't beat Pederson in the air either when they switched.

BLACKBURN Rovers were made to pay for some sloppy defending this afternoon as they crashed 3-1 at Manchester City.
The visitors dominated for long periods but were punished for defensive mistakes and a host of missed chances as they remain six points clear of the drop zone, but having played a game more than Hull, Sunderland and Newcastle.
After Tugay, Ryan Nelsen and Vince Grella all saw early shots blocked, City took the lead against the run of play of 27 minutes.
Elano's right wing corner was eventually scuffed clear by Andre Ooijer and, after stabs by Vincent Kompany and Nedum Onuoha, Felipe Caicedo rolled the ball home from close range.
The lead was doubled on 34 when Elano's left wing cross was scuffed clear this time by Gael Givet and Robinho expertly curled the ball into the back of the net from 18 yards.
A harsh penalty was then awarded against Givet for handball on the stroke of half time, which Elano converted to effectively kill the contest before the break.
Substitute Keith Andrews pulled a goal back with b25 minutes remaining, converting the rebound after El-Hadji Diouf's penalty kick had been saved by Shay Given.

We allowed them to dominate the first 15-20 minutes and were guilty of some slack passing but once we got it on the floor then there was only ever going to be one winner. We then showed our class and it was more than good enough to beat those pub footballers. Makes a change to be doing that but it seems we can do it these days which is a measure of how far we've come.Blue2112 said:To be honest I thought they were by far the better team for the first 20 minutes, we got the breaks with the goal with a bit of a scramble in the box, nice foot work from Kompany and then got on top.
