Fantastic Stat.

Great stat from Paul Walsh on FoxTV. No team has scored 11 in home and away against the same team since the 1932/3 season. That was before Hitler was Fuhrer and before Baconface was born.

That might be irrelevant as a stat when we visit Norwich in a couple of weeks.

As Vinny just said:

"Still no silverware .... we'll stay calm and prepare for the next game."

Character, mentality, desire, hunger, belief ... this team can achieve great things not just this season but for seasons to come.

So fucking proud to be a blue tonight. Arguably our best away performance of the season. We absolutely dominated them for 80 minutes.

I thought this was part of Kompany's quote when I first read it :-)

Of course, you just know he's thinking it!

If you'd seen him in front of us after the final whistle, he was certainly thinking that, as were 13 or 14 others who came down to applaud the support, which was excellent tonight.

By the way, a question occurs to me...

Was anyone else hoping that Pellegrini was sending Kolarov on to twat Adebayor if he kept up his antics?

The fact of the matter is that it was 1-0 in the 36th minute when Dawson's goal was incorrectly disallowed. It's not like we don't have sufficient proof of the linesman's error. Should have been 1-1 plain and simple. Not even City fans can rightly argue that.

Now up to that point, at 1-1 in the 37th minute (which should have been reality apart from a linesman's error), who on this board would have called our performance dreadful? Extend that to 1-1 at the half and I'll ask the same question.

Momentum was beginning to swing our way, and we all know it doesn't take much for Ade to put one in given the current run of form he's on.

Move to the 2nd half...

50 minutes in and Danny Rose makes an excellent tackle to keep it to 1-0 (reminder.... should've been 1-1 at that point if not for the linesman's error).

Instead of a corner to City, and possibility of a counter, the linesman decides to wave his flag around like an idiot. Now we have HD, slow motion camera's showing the tackle on the ball and not the man. Again, the linesman made an error. Result: Red Card, Danny Rose. We're now down 2 goals and to 10 men against one of the best sides in Europe. Game effectively, over.

Now I say all this to point out the fact that at 50 minutes into the game, we should have been looking at 1-1 and everything to play for.

The fact of the matter is that we were hard done tonight. Terrible linesmen decisions led to a terrible scoreline. It's as simple as that.

Clichy had his best game in quite a while

 

[Stoned Rose]

Last night was the glorious maturation of MPs style and vision.

We knew there'd be goals, we knew there'd be 'Attacking football' under the kid but to see his machine in full flow with every little cog working in such well oiled harmony was sexy as fuck and brilliant to watch.

Manuel pellegrini - a man who knows what the fuck he's doing.

We REALLY need a proper song for him.

Isn't the thing about the penalty that Rose prevented Dzeko following the ball by his clumsy tackle. Rose may have touched the ball first, but he didn't knock it clear. Dzeko would still have been after it if he hadn't been taken down after the ball was touched?

It's not just the leg. If you look at the clip below, you'll see the view from the other (linesmans) side.
Rose has hold of Dzeko's arm during the tackle :-
