[Earl Hafler]

Disappointed to be honest. Hoped we'd play Gonzo and Pennant, be a little more adventurous.

 

Solid looking side though.

[Kite]

Rafa seems keen on getting Arbeloa used to the left back position more and more. Should do well that line up.

[Guest Anders Honoré]

bellamy is not playing much at the moment is he?

[Earl Hafler]

bellamy is not playing much at the moment is he?

 

Not sure if he's injured but i think he'll be sold in the summer. Plenty of takers.

Bellamy's injured. Do people not actually watch matches or are you taking the piss?

[Sion]

City have scored only 10 home league goals this season.

[Kite]

Bellamy's injured. Do people not actually watch matches or are you taking the piss?

To be fair, he got injured in a Champions League Quarter Final match... sure who'd be watching that ...

[Cam]

Is Didi injured?

 

In a season of potential CL glory my highlight will always be the Citeh caller to 606 moaning about how Hamann had lost all his pace since leaving Liverpool and he can barely get down the wing & past his man.

 

WTF!

[Chili Palmer]

I don't know how anyone could be disappointed with that side, much stronger than I expected.

[Falconhoof]

Baros isn't getting many games for us this season I notice.

WTF!

Don't think so. Bit sad that about Hamann - he moved to City to get games and all he's got is two full 90 mins. Been wasted there really.

[Chili Palmer]

Garcia should be playing, this formation is made for him...

Anybody got a link or channel for this?

[Snookie]

Joey Barton has just laid flowers in front of the Liverpool fans as a mark of respect. Well done

[Reggie]

Nice touch by Barton there. Laying a bunch of flowers in front of our fans for the 96.

[Skillz]

Please keep up the the commentary guys. It is much appreciated.
