So Cal Red

HAHAHA! Materrazi, you cheating bast*rd! F*CK OFF!!

storming start for us! just goes to show what we're capable of playing like when we take the game to the opposition.

1, Masch - monster in the middler as usual 2. Skrtel - very solid & has settled well, seems likely to push for a starting spot once Agger returns 3. Babel - confident, our main attacking threat & should only improve w/ more starts

Riise. you f*ckin fairy.

Skrtel has been excellent today, just as he was in his previous game. i love how he's soldiering on despite the obvious hand injury.

Gerrard hits Babel w/ an excellent pass on the counter. Babel one on one w/ a shot deflected wide. should have done better, imo. that has to go down as a missed opportunity.

thats some sexy one-touch football.

why play Kuyt when its clear our side has been lacking creativity in the final third??

Crouch, how the f*ck do you miss that?! Babel having a stormer so far. more starts will only help. Kuyt, eh, not so much.

City have impressed me at how well they've played so far. Tevez goal just discounted for off-side!

d*mnit, the bast*rd switched the channel back! FFS, the 2nd half hasn't even resumed yet.

LOL! i'm watching a live stream online of the match. the channel has just been changed to the Playboy channel. i think i'll be enjoying this half-time show.

WAA WAA WEE WAA!! City up 2-0.

Ronaldo's method of taking free kicks reminds me of the way Juninho takes his. wonder what his success rate is?

wow. city hit them on the counter after united dominated possession.

don't think Momo would agree w/ that... Sissoko: I’m better than Mascherano

RIP to all those who perished. from the few clips i've seen, Edwards looks like a bigger version of Gerrard. (is it just me or do they also look alike?) the status & respect Edwards had already received at such a young age is nothing short of incredible. from many accounts, he could have very well gone on to be one of the greatest ever.

& sign a BiG nAmE striker.

indeed

1. Mascherano 2. Hyypia 3. Pennant

immense player. slow start to the season but really picked up his level of play. i really hope he can pull a Paolo Maldini & stick around a few years longer! remember back in October when we were debating about how Sami should not be sold in the January transfer window b/c it'd be an injustice for us to the Premiership trophy without him in the side?! i think Mascherano can lay claim to that.

nice scoreline but our play wasn't very convincing. there's still much room for improvement. why play Lucas on the left when we've got Benayoun & Babel?? & why do we only start playing like we're supposed to in the the 2nd half?! well, it doesn't count that much b/c it was against Sunderland.

nope. its eternal punishment for something. now there's an idea!

FINALLY! one constructive attack!! REJOICE!! Pennant beats a couple defenders, get to the byline, crosses for Torres but keeper saves.

Mascherano about to regulate on this mofo referee!
