Fark.

City look good.

That Steven Taylor is a dippy cunt.

But yes, City look very handy.
Dzeko looks the best I've seen him in three/four years

Fernandinho basically meaning Javi Garcia wont be playing much this year!

Ha, Neville called Caragher a burgler.

I didn't get a fucking word of what Carra said and my missus is scouse.

I did understand him saying crap though, which I enjoyed.

Also, City look right. Good season coming up. Looks like there'll be genuine competition at the top this time.

In my opinion that was the performance of a team, who look set to do some serious business in the premier league and the champions league.

I had my doubts, pre-season but they looked very, very good tonight.

Kompany going off with a groin injury, won't be good for them mind, with Nastasic also out injured.

Perdew.

Irrespective of last night's game Citeh have had an ominous silence. They're focussed with a classy manager they all like. He did good things in Argentina as well as a record point haul in la liga unluckily coming up against arguably the greatest footballing team ever.

I'm not one to be overly cynical, but can someone with a better understanding of football tell me:
does beating Newcastle ( a team who last season fucked it up royally, and then in this pre season have reappointed jokes kinnear) act as predictor of achievement?

Also, the fixture list. Have they been plotted so citehy have a tough run in and united have a hard start? You know, to manipulate viewings and things?

Newcastle are a top four challenger. Man Citeh beating them 4-0 means that the bookies ought seriously to think of paying out on the season already. It is clearly all over.

Until, of course, next time that ManU play when, win lose or draw, they will be shoe ins for the title.

I'm suggesting it's non random.

Neville owns Carragher - YouTube

Also, this isn't Spain. So losing on the first day isn't season defining.

Taken to the extreme, la liga should be decided on which team of 11 representing Barcelona or real Madrid can get into their kit and on the pitch first.

For those of you who don't read the guardian, that's taking Sid Lowe's piece and adding a bit and then reducing a lot.

Ooh

Good work. Better than Corneys cut, paste and play with thesaurus.

NO, but this is the same team that two years ago tore most of the teams in the league a new one. It's just that now, they've gotten rid of the dick heads and brought in some extra class.
Pellegrini also seems to have made Dzeko feel like he's number one.

Of course that's the first game of the season but I was just very, very impressed by the Man City team.

I was impressed as they helped repair the damage to my accas that Arsenal so royally fucked up.

Excellent display last night and really ought to have been 7+ if Marriner wasn't such a spineless twat.

Good to see Newcastle have taken over our old mantle of comedy club, and really raised the bar on it.

Kinnear in by November I reckon.

Oh and £6.60 (SIX POUNDS FUCKING SIXTY) for a Jamie Olive rpie is taking the piss.

Yes - Shitty were very good last night and it was nice to hear chants in the local accent. How long till that gets drowned in a sea of plastic?

Judging by the 'cockney whoppers' and Australian scousers who affect the accent to sing YNWA or songs about Stevie G, it might have already happened.

Manc accents are even easier to put on, everyone has seen Shameless.

Ronnie, you have to pay to watch football like that. It's not like the halcyon days of Maine Road when you could watch a game, get trashed, have a chip supper and a couple of brasses and still have change from a tenner (provided you didn't buy a programme). Mind you, you were watching them edge towards relegation.n.

Jamie Oliver though?

Wagon Wheels and Bovril. Proper football food.

Does the fact that I hate Bovril make me a plastic?

Clive, wagon wheels are smaller now.
