Man City Match Thread

[Man City Match Thread]

TV commentary seems to think otherwise. They can''t see AN''s plan is to absorb the pressure while conserving energy, rope-a-dope.

[Naismith "injured" and baldness generally]

Ask your mum. There''s a game on.

[Man City Match Thread]

Good defensive help clearing it from Redmond.

desperate plea for attention

[Our Carbon Footprint.]

The whole concept of carbon footprints is nonsensical fantasy.

[Score vs Man city]

We haven''t taken any major beatings this season, and we won''t ok, the Newcastle debacle, but the team is sorted now and we willstart iour recovery with a comfortable 2-0 win. If it ends 2-02 because they score late, that will be tremendously disappointing.

[He'd be scoring those missed goals]

So how come he looked good and scored for us in preseason? He got service and converted, which was what got our attention in the first place before we signed him?

Try to keep on topic and save the xenophobia for people you might actually meet. It''s just embarrassing small-town cowardice when yoy do it here.

[He'd be scoring those missed goals]

I was thinking more of Bamford than the others because he missed a couple of decent chances on Saturday, but the fact is when he played here, he got no service. Except this past preseason when he got service and, oh ya, scored goals.

[He'd be scoring those missed goals]

Our strikers seem pretty hopeless at finishing golden opportunities. If he was getting the service our current bunch are getting (because he sure didn''t get it when he was here, apart from this past pre-season, and he converted those), it''s not crazy to think RVW would be knocking them in.

[Good strategy, sh!t execution]

Hoolahan looked very good. Bamford had 2 misses and gave up on a slightly long pass that had he kept going, the keeper may have fumbled it. M-bop headed over what could have been a goal. There were a bunch of unrealized opportunities.

[Good strategy, sh!t execution]

Alex Neil can only do so much. How many chances went begging? Again!

[Match Thread]

No, he was outside the box, or his leg was.

[Match Thread]

I was referring to the run of play.

[Match Thread]

I like what I see so far, barring the bogus yellow card on Jerome.

[Swansea vs NCFC]

Jerome can hold up play so someone else can score if he can''t. This attacking line up looks like AN''s plan is to score early and often, to kick them, "in the balls, City".

[Leicester vs NCFC Official Unofficial Match Thread]

So far it''s like the ManU game. Absorb the pressure and hit them on the counter attack.

[Prediction v Leicester]

Of course we''re going there to win. With an attractive start in line-up and the new, improved, fundamentally sound approach to defending, and an extra week to learn each other''s habits, we should come home with at least a point.

Just none of that not finishing nonsense that killed us at Villa, please.

[Team vs Leicester]

Lake is assuming we get an anti-red card and have a player sent on.

[Hucks v Redders]

.....and they lose 100% of the races against Ferraris.

[How much does a good Spanish barber charge?]

That''s acapella. A meaning without. The capella is the orchestra.

[Out of the bottom three]

We lost to them simply because we couldn''t finish any of seversl chances when we dominated the first half. Had we stuck one in, that would''ve been game over for them.

[Wny doesn't Alex Neil take the dog for a walk?]

If you think this is funny, your sense of humor is weak.

[6 defeats & 1 draw from 7 games]

I say the premise is faulty. The players who have been relegated hsve more recently been promoted. Promotion builds confidence and a winning mentality. If relegation was all that impactful, we''d still be in the Championship.

Here''s a story

of a goal by Brady

[NCFC vs Wet Spam Match Thread]

Not at all. We''ve got the angles covered nicely so far.

That last shot was hard but no way it was going in. Defender and Ruddy left no room for it.
