lmao. Madness.

After reading that interview, I suspect that if there was no transfer window, Man City would actually buy a new player every time any of their existing players suffered an injury

Although to be fair, he doesn't actually say "We need more midfielders," he just says they're short at the moment because of injuries. Slightly misleading headline. Still, stop bloody moaning!

"Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini says he needs more midfielders"

What a muppet!

[prinnysquad]

A Win!

It doesn't seem real.

And a convincing one at that. It's the Bendtner effect. See how Arsenal struggle now that he's gone?

[prinnysquad]

Bendtner = fail. Even in a rout he's not on the scoresheet.

One isn't being touted as the 'White Pele' though.

No, but the one is being touted as the 'White Heskey'.

if Woodgate would have looked to see who was by him he could have left it and saved the own goal

Chopper Torres seems to be on a runaway train to madness!

[Adrock]

Bendtner is playing well, I think. The rest of the players around him are rubbish at the moment but he is definitely playing well enough as the main front man. He just needs to convert his chances. If he gets any.

[vanpeebles]

How many has he scored?

A shocking display, hardcore Bruce in its gutlessness. Nothing going forward whatsoever, with one up front, and several players putting in ****e performances. I read a stat the other week that under Bruce we've only twice come back from behind to win. So there's points in the bag here for the Naaridge faithful unless there's a miraculous halftime team talk (bawwawhahah).

Classic Bruce. Wait until 20 minutes to go before making a change. The performance has been a festering pile of **** balls, drifting along for ages without going anywhere, yet Bruce wheezes and struggles like a pie-stuffed oaf to close the gate long after that horse has nobbed off.

We're so **** we can't even win a penalty against Norwich.

Apparently Norwich did actually play quite well too.

What is most scandalous for me is the use of only 2 subs. As I said to you before playing Jack Colback was an absolute must in that game. Although City twatted Ipswich in both games last year the 4-1 at Carrow Road could have been a different game. Although 1-0 up at the time Norwich endured a torrid 15 minutes where Colback (playing as a left winger) was reaming our defence time after time. I was really concerned about this as it seemed that we would easily be breached in time. Then they had a player sent off - Colback moved from LW to LB and the threat was snuffed out.
How did Bruce not know this? How the hell did Colback not even get on the pitch? And if not him - why not someone else as a third sub? You were clearly toothless and the players out there weren't getting it done. Get someone on who might.

Aside from that - GET IN - finally we seem to be picking up the points our performances warrant. And no penalty conceded - aces.

So we've skanked FaMMydOdD and prinny. Who's next? I'd love it to be neil2k but that really would be a dream too far!!
