Norwich will be absolutely knackered by half time at this rate.

 

[Stevencc]

Possibly not - as Norwich have been on top for the latter stages of the first half.

 

[Veggie Legs]

I don't know what Bony is supposed to do but he hasn't done it today. Get him off and Sterling on.

 

[Stevencc]

I'm very happy to admit that I was wrong about Bony being an excellent signing for City when they bought him. I said that he would be amazing in a front two with Aguero. It's a dire partnership and it must take some going to form a dire partnership with Aguero.

Norwich maybe set for a vital point - for once their defence has looked solid.

 

[JimJams]

3 minutes of shitting it....

 

[Stevencc]

Heroic defending from Norwich - they deserved that point. Manchester City really are average as a team considering some of the individual talent they've got. Pep has his work cut out for him.

Said it long ago City are finished. Bad decision to announce the manager mid season. Guardiola for Europa League!

 

[slaphead]

Well Fuck You very much City. Sunk my acca before it even got going. Wankers.

 

[JimJams]

Jamie Redknapp must be upset as he tipped Man City to be the biggest threat to top spot.

"Fantastic Result for City ! My cousin woke up from Coma after 6 years and he can't believe City are fourth and drawing away against teams like Norwich."

In all fairness, that's normally our job.

I really don't understand us

 

[GodsGift]

City are so predictable and easy to play against under Pellegrini, and I don't really understand why he gets such as easy ride from the media. Just because he's a nice guy they seem to think he's done a wonderful job, when really he's under-performed. With the squad he has at his disposal he should be winning the league with ease this season.

Pretty pissed off as I chose this game as my "Y" scenario in the prem league game. 6 points for every goal scored ,
