I don't think I've ever seen a horrible, negative atmosphere generated by the fans. How are players suppose to perform under those circumstances? It was a disgusting scene. Never seen a game ooze so much venom.
It's quite fitting they lost against Wigan, the support that Martinez has had from Wigan fans through thick and thin has been admirable. Their fans have been a credit to their club and have stuck by Martinez even when the results weren't coming.
Very strange game tonight. Liverpool were focused, enthusiastic and clinical. The opposite of their performance on Saturday. Chelsea seemed tired and languid.
Terry's demeanor said it all really. They seemed mentally and physically tired, unfocused and clumsy. They were terrible at defending (which is something that De Matteo appeared to have gotten sorted), and to say the goalkeeper had a poor night would be an understatement.
A lot to say about a match that really would have had little consequence for both teams.
Holy **** the most incredible afternoon of football I can ever remember. Even as a neutral my heart is pounding- I can vaguely remember Arsenal winning the title at Anfield back in '89 but City's 2 in injury time is something else.
And to top it off Coyle and his 30 pieces of silver have gone down. Get in!
Feel like a tit. Boycotted the day of football today because I knew I'd never be able to take the pressure, so I decided to study in the student union instead. When the City game went into extra time and I heard the scores, I ran into the union bar, only to see City had scored a third in the 2 minutes it took me to get there. I was only in the bar for about 30 seconds, but I felt like I'd watched the full 90 minutes.
As a Red im gutted of course but want to say congrats to Man City for a truly superb season of cat n mouse football with the ending you couldnt better if it was a blockbuster movie.
Must be something about both Manchester clubs always doing things the hard way.
