Weekend Games plus City v Swansea

[Rors]

You look at that United XI on paper and you just think, "how?" Then you sit back to take into consideration all the extraneous stuff and you just think "by how many?"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foster. :doh:

Unconvincing at best.

[Rors]

Christ on a bike Foster :wacko:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Anderson. :lol:

[Rors]

De Gea was light years from that one again.

Taibi II :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pretty good effort from Scharner.

[Rors]

De Gea was light years from that one again.

Taibi II :bow:

He is all over the bloody shop.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-1 Rooney. :sick:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

He is all over the bloody shop.

thats what 20 Mill buys you these days

[Rors]

Buh..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rooney was miles off that time. :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Still doesn't look like we'll have a home win. :lol:

Don't think it will be the case tomorrow though. :unsure:

[Rors]

Nani :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani. :haha:

Brilliant football though.

[Rors]

Was hoping for a Reid special there...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"C'mere!!" :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dammit. :lol:

Still, managed to embed the video in the end.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani puts another one over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good save from De Gea to deny Scharner.

[Rors]

"He is a good shot-stopper, but...." - the prefix which is the death-knell for any 'keeper.

[Rors]

!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Long!

:bow:

De Gea. :haha:

[Rors]

Dear oh dear De Gea... How long did it take you to get down to that one? A real diamond-unearthed here...

[Boss]

:woohoo:

[AKBapologist]

De Gea :haha:

Ach :pal:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Steven Reid booked.

[Rors]

Sympathy-flap there from Foster.

[Sirjackofwilshere]

De LAMA!!! ROFL

[Marc Overmars]

Oh fuck, I left Rodallega in and Long on the bench.

[Darth Vela]

Nice keeping!

Was that Brunt with the pass?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Oh fuck, I left Rodallega in and Long on the bench.

It's ok, my points for Sagna have been taken away. :unsure:

[Master Splinter]

Just seen the goal.

De Gea :haha:

A shocker specialist.

Taibi II :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

It's ok, my points for Sagna have been taken away. :unsure:

Nothing seems to be updating.

Weird.

[Joker]

lols.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:haha:

De Gea did ok in the end though.

[Rors]

He just about got away with that one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1642: You lot with your David de Gea/Massimo Taibi jibes are very cruel. Funny. But cruel.

Sam Lyon. :wave:

[Syn]

Must be said - I've only seen about 1 and a half games he has played for Man Utd (charity shield and now this), but the queer they've got in goal looks absolutely shit. Goalkeepers tend to be a bit of a mixed bag though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 half time.

[Marc Overmars]

Must be said - I've only seen about 1 and a half games he has played for Man Utd (charity shield and now this), but the queer they've got in goal looks absolutely shit. Goalkeepers tend to be a bit of a mixed bag though.

Having Almunia for a dad can't have helped.

[Rors]

It went under his wrists, let alone his body. That really is Year 5 stuff.

[GP]

De Gay :haha:

At least he was cheap...

:haha:

[Rors]

Ye gads Foster

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Evans coming on for Vidic it looks like.

[AKBapologist]

Anderson :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Anderson :lol:

Better than Fabregas tbh.

Also, Vidic injured? United are fucked. Evans is their Tony Hibbert.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ashley Young booked. A GHEL tackle I think Alan Smith was trying to say.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nani freekick, tamely went past everyone really.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Welbeck off, Berbatov on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Er surely Ferdinand touched that last?

[Master Splinter]

Berbatov :lol:

Welbeck's understudy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Looked ike a cross from Ashley Young, not that it was particularly troubling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Physicality of the Prem. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Smudger thinks a valid tactic is telling a sub about to come on to "just go out there and run around".

[Master Splinter]

Tchoyi is an absolute beast.

[Master Splinter]

"just go out there and run around".

Scott Parker :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ferdinand is feeling his hamstring. It's just Arsenal players that get injured though I am sure of it.

[Rors]

Looks like Ferdi has had it. Oh well, the game's loss is Twitter's gain...

[Master Splinter]

Ferdinand injured as well? :lol:

Nani :lol:

[Rors]

This is just written to end up with a Jones OG with him coming across in front of De Gea and backheading it in...

[Master Splinter]

Dive from Long.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Gea.

:haha:

[Master Splinter]

De Gea :haha:

[Rors]

He's at it again :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

This is just written to end up with a Jones OG with him coming across in front of De Gea and backheading it in...

Nearly happened I think...

[Rors]

And that one he plain pulled out.. Discretion is the better form of the valour?

Tyler doing his best to give it a bit of 'there there'...

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

de gea :lol: shit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why didn't Rooney shoot?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 Ashley Young.

[Rors]

I hope he's happy..

[Master Splinter]

FFS.

I was just going to say a United goal is coming up too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ah it's an own goal. :doh:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

typical utd.

[fakeyank]

This is why they are champions

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

ref giving absolutely fuck all to west brom.

nice to see the leagues been corrupted from day 1 this season, at least last season it started midway through the season.

leagues over.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scharner booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Long off, Cox on.

[Master Splinter]

One minute Fergie Time?

[Master Splinter]

Tchoyi :doh:

[Darth Vela]

ref giving absolutely fuck all to west brom.

nice to see the leagues been corrupted from day 1 this season, at least last season it started midway through the season.

leagues over.

C'mon, you've seen De Gea in action, you know how necessary it is to start early.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Four added minutes.

[Master Splinter]

Tamas :haha:

[Rors]

Four minutes! Cue the Pavlovian step out of the dugout..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cox booked for diving. :lol:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

C'mon, you've seen De Gea in action, you know how necessary it is to start early.

true. wonder how they do it without getting caught, must be gill arselicking the status quo and covering tracks well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Foster. :haha:

[Rors]

De Gea might be handy for a quick game of 'Headers And Volleys' in the park, but not much else.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-2 full time. :sick:

[AKBapologist]

united once again proving you don't need a great keeper or defence to win games....

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Oh well, that's that then.

Roll on 2012/13.

[Master Splinter]

Ferdinand and Vidic will make miraculous recoveries for the game against us.

[Marc Overmars]

Tchoyi is an absolute beast.

Yeah he's good to watch, bit of an oaf at times though.

As for United, doing what they always do then. :ilt:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Ferdinand and Vidic will make miraculous recoveries for the game against us.

Rio out for 6 weeks, well pissed the cunt is in my GW team and Rafel who is out for 10 weeks, bloody mancs lol

[Marc Overmars]

Don't think Rio has many years left at the top level, he seems to be made of toast these days.

[Cripps_orig]

Over to City then.

Chelsea were shite today. Didnt see the Manc game but they won and i assume they didnt play well. Lets see what City do.

Enough of the title challengers.

On to the race for 4th, we were shite. Liverpool looked crap. Lets see what Spuds can do

[Ollie the Optimist]

de gea :haha:

another shocker from ach :haha:

[Master Splinter]

de gea :haha:

another shocker from ach :haha:

:haha:

:greatpost:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Vidic out for 2 to 3 weeks

seems rio and Vidic will miss our games.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson.
Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair.
Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.

Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

Scott Sinclair. :bow: Plymouth legend.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I get the feeling this will be a long night for Swansea.

[Master Splinter]

Scott Sinclair. :bow: Plymouth legend.

More importantly, he's in my team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Clichy. :haha:

Brainfart time.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More importantly, he's in my team.

A good choice tbf.

[Cripps_orig]

Aguero :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That was almost a good cross from Clichy.

:yikes:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

de gea :haha:

another shocker from ach :haha:

could be a weakness plus the 2 CB injuries, good time to play Manure. . . . .

would help of course if we have any idea about how to shoot FFS

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Good strike from David Silva, well saved by Vorm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Silva hits the bar!

[Boss]

Swansea to win this.

QFT.

[Power n Glory]

Can you believe it. A few weeks with City and Clichy is already better at crossing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya just uploaded Beast Mode. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dzeko shot, scuffed it. He has been quite good so far though.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yaya shot, straight at Vorm.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vorm denies Dzeko, effectively a one-on-one there. Vorm has been pretty damn good.

[Xhaka Can’t]

David Silva hits the bar!

I will on Saturday!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry smashes the bar!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I will on Saturday!

Before or after our match?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 half time.

[Darth Vela]

Before or after our match?

During would be first choice.

[Marc Overmars]

1-1 half time.

:unsure:

[Xhaka Can’t]

Before or after our match?

Both!

Are you going?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:unsure:

:lol:

First shocker of the season. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Both!

Are you going?

Afraid not. I'm supposed to visit Plymouth before I visit anywhere else and I haven't got close to sorting out going to Plymouth yet.

[Marc Overmars]

:lol:

First shocker of the season. :doh:

I'm not following the game so when you said that I was look ohhh nice one Swansea. Then I went through to find the reaction posts to the goals and they were nowhere to be seen. :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dobbie saw glory, Hart saves. Had an opportunity to play in other players too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm not following the game so when you said that I was look ohhh nice one Swansea. Then I went through to find the reaction posts to the goals and they were nowhere to be seen. :rose:

They took them away because Barry is so shit.

[Injury Time]

Dobbie saw glory, Hart saves. Had an opportunity to play in other players too.
Dobbie? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dobbie? :unsure:

http://24.media.tumblr.com/rDV7kyzWPp9v7dkmx2X4qn4ro1_500.png

[Rors]

Muh. Inching against the run of play that one as well.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh 1-0 Swansea, Dzeko. Slightly lucky really.

[Rors]

'The Poznan' :rolleyes: It's been around for years. And it was dumb then...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

De Jong off, Aguero on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vorm saves from Yaya and Aguero. :bow: Yaya was offside though anyway, granted.

[Injury Time]

http://24.media.tumblr.com/rDV7kyzWPp9v7dkmx2X4qn4ro1_500.png
Yup, I am aware of the fictional character, to whom do you refer to in the "real" world of footie?

[Cripps_orig]

Just turned on and City score.They are my banker so hoping they get another.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Aguero showed his strength there. :ninja:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yup, I am aware of the fictional character, to whom do you refer to in the "real" world of footie?

Dobbie. His name is Dobbie.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Dzeko, another for team, Kun better not score tho

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Britton off, Allen on.

Stephen Dobbie off, Routledge on.

Routledge. :lol: The ultimate journeyman.

[Rors]

Routledge coming on. Served us well.

Well, served us...

[Grebbo]

Aguero is pretty isn't he?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

2-0 Aguero, great team goal.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

can see him ending up top goalscorer. jesus.

[Rors]

Still had to go on it with his right-foot though didn't he? :sulk:

:unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

3-0 David Silva, great play from Aguero.

[Rors]

Ok this is getting silly now. He manages to miss one to Silva (yes, really)

[GunnerFan4Life]

Hmm. fuck.

[Grebbo]

3-0 David Silva, great play from Aguero.

That' what you get when you buy proven quality.

£35m is a good deal for him.

[Cripps_orig]

3-0SilvaSwansea are down thenAguero looks awesome.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That' what you get when you buy proven quality.

£35m is a good deal for him.

Aye. I was extremely gutted when they got him but we're never going to get those kind of players when £15 million is our (seemingly self-imposed) spending threshold.

Also, Savic on for Johnson.

[hobson's choice]

I remember when we had players like that

[Rors]

Balotelli seething out on the touchline :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vorm just about saves Yaya's deflected freekick.

[Rors]

Vorm :bow: Surely an character on 'Discworld Noir' with a name like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Do Sky have the MotM voted for because they don't trust Gary Neville to decide?

[hobson's choice]

How about we take Ballotelli off their hands.

[Rors]

Do Sky have the MotM voted for because they don't trust Gary Neville to decide?

More than likely. If he even just had a say in it alongside every other MNF employee we'd probably end up with "Wayne" polling 1% of the vote...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Dyer off, Lita on.

David Silva off, Milner on.

[Niall_Quinn]

Swansea is a pretty nice place to start. Plus Wenger doesn't approve of spending £35mill on a player and I suspect the FA will agree and wipe out all of Aguero's goals.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

How we take Ballotelli off their hands.

he would send Wenger to an early grave. . . . .hmmmmmmmmm

Must get. . . ?

[Master Splinter]

Milner :lol:

Surprised they haven't shipped him out.

Swansea are going to concede so many goals this season.

Title-winning performance though tbf.

[hobson's choice]

Swansea are going to concede so many goals this season.

.

Except against our lot:(

[Master Splinter]

Except against our lot:(

We play them pretty soon.

5-0 tbh.

Marvin Martin with 5 goals and 5 assists.

[Rors]

Bloody hellfire...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 Aguero, pretty much a thunderbolt.

[Rors]

..and it really was right in the corner..

Without wanting to write the runes too early...this is getting worrying.

[Grebbo]

Nasri must be foaming at the gash.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

So he's quite good then.

[hobson's choice]

They are just showing off now

[Cripps_orig]

Aguero is awesome. City get him. We get Campbell :(Goodbye top 4

[Darth Vela]

Nasri must be foaming at the gash.

:lol:

Yeah, that is quite worrying.

[Niall_Quinn]

We play them pretty soon.

5-0 tbh.

Marvin Martin with 5 goals and 5 assists.

Don't tell me we've been beaten to Marvin Martin by fucking Swansea!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

fuck.

[Rors]

Not top though.

Alphabetical order :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-0 full time.

[Rors]

Ummm, you can't have the matchball though Sergio :lol:

[fakeyank]

Aguero :bow:

Title fight going down between the Manchester clubs :bow:

Arsenal :pal:

Arsene Wenger :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ummm, you can't have the matchball though Sergio :lol:

A contribution based hat-trick.

:bow:

[Kaiser]

"We've got Marouane Chamakh, we've got Marouane Chamakh..."

:ilt:

[Rors]

A contribution based hat-trick.

:bow:

Still hasn't managed to dislodge either 'De Gea' or 'Starkey' from the Twitter Top Trends though :sulk:. Aren't they all similar in many ways...? :lol:

[WengerISaLizard]

Nasri is going to join these talented squad of cunts in a few days, it just makes me sick

Nasri Silva
Aguero

that's just incredible

[Master Splinter]

Man City to be top after the first round of fixtures by a goal difference of +5.

:pal:

Another shocker from MO :rose:.

Bolton :bow:.

[Marc Overmars]

:pal:

Another shocker from MO :rose:.

Bolton :bow:.

Pah, only a goal out!

Aguero. :bow:

What a start.

We can only hope he fails to settle like Robinho and Tevez.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gary Neville is in his element playing with the big screen.

[Rors]

Gary Neville is in his element playing with the big screen.

"Sort of Ronaldo-like"

It's going to be an even longer season.....

[Master Splinter]

We can only hope he fails to settle like Robinho and Tevez.

Or he joins Villa when Maradona takes over.

It was bloody Swansea though.

United would have beaten them 9-0 at home.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Aguero is awesome. City get him. We get Campbell :(Goodbye top 4

Well no one else could afford his wages really could they, but he really is a good player. Then again it was Swansea when he does it against the top teams in the league and in europe, then hell be worth the praise.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

"Sort of Ronaldo-like"

It's going to be an even longer season.....

He was Messi-like earlier too. Aguero must be the ultimate god of football.

[Rors]

Or he joins Villa when Maradona takes over.


Still waiting for the 'come and get me plea' to be acted on. 51 weeks and counting.....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Or he joins Villa when Maradona takes over.

It was bloody Swansea though.

United would have beaten them 9-0 at home.

Yeah but Aguero has already done it against teams better than Swansea.

[Joker]

LOL Neville repeats Wenger line about the inflated market.

[Rors]

Bolton getting a 'Next 6' focus. All eyes are on you when you put yourself in a position to be shot down...

----------------------------------------------------

"We want you back" - Speak for yourself Chamberlain

[Master Splinter]

Yeah but Aguero has already done it against teams better than Swansea.

I was referring more to the general hysteria and mass panic which always accompanies a big win for one of our rivals.

Enter the usual suspects insisting they're not our rivals and that we're competing with Blackburn, Norwich and Bury.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

From what I can gather the first hour of this programme was a lot worse than the last half an hour; I find that hard to believe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I was referring more to the general hysteria and mass panic which always accompanies a big win for one of our rivals.

Enter the usual suspects insisting they're not our rivals and that we're competing with Blackburn, Norwich and Bury.

That's fair. Although this side did finish above us last season. :unsure: I probably killed the white text too.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fair do's, the only entertainment is coming out of Manchester right now. Pretty shocking first week apart from those two.

[Boss]

Man Citeh? :lol:

They're not our rivals ffs. We're competing with Blackburn, Norwich and Bury this season.

[Özim]

Aguero is something else, a brilliant player IMO and worth every penny he cost.

He's got the potential to be one of the very best, IMO he's a far bigger talent than Tevez, they have different styles for sure but Aguero oozes class like Henry did.

A real coup for Man City.

[Grebbo]

Didn't Spurs bid for Aguero? :haha:

[Rors]

Didn't Spurs bid for Aguero? :haha:
I'd forgotten about that... :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Didn't Spurs bid for Aguero? :haha:

Only as a matter of routine, they eventually get around to bidding for everyone. I told then to go fuck themselves when they bid for me.

[Rors]

That was clearly just to clear the ground for the attempt to clinch the services of "Charlie Adams"....

[Grebbo]

Go on to Glory Glory. I bet they're screwing.

:haha:
