The Man City Thread [10/11]

[adedawson]

sigh... i was cheering at 2-1. Then it all went pete tong. Just wished QPR stopped attacking, they had that in the bag.

Congrats all the same. Bring on next season, hope its as fun as this ones been.

 

[rony31]

Wish QPR stopped attacking? They had 2 attacks all game and both resulted in goals.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Haha, yeah. They got a fluckey blunder by Lescott and Cisse put it away. And the other they just countered really well to a totally disorganized and desperate team.

I still can't believe it happened after, though. Made my day.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I must admit, I was kind of hoping to see some great premature tattoos when you were down 2-1, but this is so much better.

EDIT: BTW, how awesome was that dive by Tevez? Definitely picked the right sucker in Barton.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Yeah, the commentators tried to justify it, but that was a blatant dive. I don't think Barton did more than raise his elbow. Funny thing is the line judge from the opposite side of the pitch was the guy who allegedly saw him. Barton's kick on Aguero was pretty funny, too.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah that was weird that the commentators didn't call it like it was. When they showed the replay of Tevez going down the whole bar busted out laughing.

Perhaps you didn't notice but I certainly did, right at the end they were bombing forward, with a man down leaving all sorts of gaps, you hit them on the counter and win.

They should of been sitting on the ball, ticking down the clock, playing it in the corners. Not matter though, they still beat relegation.

That was a kick? I though he punched him in the kidney then tried to nut kompany, that lads crazy lol

I definitely did not see this at all. I was busy joking with my friends about how great it will be when SWP scores a deliberate own goal to win City the title.

 

[adedawson]

haha, weird season, United, Bayern, Barca, Inter all losing.

I think he kneed Aguero in his hamstring, which also looked fairly weak... but Aguero went down like he got shot. He didn't even see him, which was hilarious. As soon as he felt contact he went down.

I think the face Joey pulled befor ethe knee/kick was the most hilarious thing about the whole incident.

You must have been watching the reverse fixture when we won 3-2 away. Every time QPR got the ball in the final 15 minutes they would just bomb it towards Joe Hart and sit outside their own box waiting for the next City attack.

And all the replays I've seen of the Barton-Tevez incident was from a really far angle, could barely see what happened. Wouldn't put it past Tevez to dive though

And if anyone here accuses Aguero of diving or doing ANYTHING other than absolute good, I will hunt you down. The man is immortal in my eyes.

We need more videos and pictures, you lagging rony

Barton also explained in his twitter that the kicking of Kun, etc was just him trying to get somebody from ManC to go with him. Legend.

I don't have too many pictures, but there's a video of me at that City pub in Toronto singing "We Are The Champions" with a bunch of drunken City fans. Other than that, nothing else. I'm not a huge picture taker when I'm having a great time.

 

[Back Door Skip]

So how much stuff did you break prior to the 92th minute?

 

[rony31]

I was working at the hospital on Sunday morning, finished up with patients at around 11:15 and headed to our weekend office which is full of computers. Started streaming the game and saw 2-1 in the 73rd minute and just sank in my seat, heart was in my throat, just felt like ****. I wasn't even angry, I just felt this sense of hopelessness and kept thinking "of course, just give everyone more excuses to throw 'typical City' at us".

After Dzeko's goal I started jumping around, fist pumping and yelling "******* GET IN", thankfully nobody was around to hear and I'm pretty sure I was the only person on the entire floor. Once the winner went in I went ballistic, jumped around some more then did an epic slide across the office on my knees (while in my thin ass scrubs, my knees are scabbed today). Then I just kind of sank in the chair again and took in the final whistle and the pitch invasion until someone else walked into the office, so I had to collect myself, close the browser and try not to shed any tears. This was the closest I came to crying since the ending of Terminator 2.

City is massively overrated. A collection of stars doesn't necessarily make a good team. *cough* Madrid *cough*

...from earlier in the season.
