You see, Hughesy? You're not the only one who can overturn a 0-2 half-time scoreline with your big fat inspirational arse.

Robinho is the Brazilian Shevchenko.

Man City are Man City.

Are you saying that Liverpool's comeback was inspired by you offering services of your arse to Dirk Kuyt?

Retrospectively, perhaps it was. The light at the end of the tunnel. The carrot on the stick. The dog's bone.

Really, though. This is the sort of shitty game Liverpool used to lose. So far (so good, fingers crossed) we're not losing them this year. Keeping pace with Chelsea, waiting for them to blink. Awesome.

Shame about Skrtel fucking his leg, though. Although it sets the scene for the return of Daniel Agger.

Poor Mqrtzn Skrtql. Injury looked nasty.
As did the red card challenge on Alonso from Zabaletta.

Was it my imagination, or was SWP offside when he played the ball back for Man City's first goal?

Oh and Garrido's free kick was a beauty. But not as good as Hull's against Spurs.

Fucking hell, city. You utter liabilities.

Ha ha ha.

This is the new city. Forged from the black gold of the middle east. Strengthened with a spine created from the fine, golden sands of the Copacabana. See how it crumbles? See how it collapses? See how it gets in your pants and chaffs your sack?

the city fans were a bunch of pricks, booing alonso and skrtel. they got what they deserved - as tom hicks would say "manchester's not gonna like that."

I'm in the unusual position of agreeing with everything you say, but it still angering me.

how have you all seen this match? as far as i can tell it wasn't on telly, and my guess is that you weren't at the match. so how do you know so much about what went on?

(not picking a fight, just curious...)

watched it on star sports online - sopcast channel 6029

Likewise.

...and see how- apart from Robinho, Jo and Kompany- they're mostly the same team as last season? The fact that City are gazillionaires doesn't change that, and commentators and pundits would do well to remember that.

they've also got wright-phillips and zabaleta, so in effect half their team is different.
