Not to worry, Caicedo's off and Jo's on. City won't be scoring again.

[FireDoughnut]

Hull to win 5-4?

[Matt]

Forgot the games were even on today, thank fuck for that United result. Cant wait to see Arsenal/Villa, which is possibly the most important game of the day, I'm hoping both sides just go for it and we see a cracking game.

Wow at City being 4-0 up already as well. MOTD has now become a must watch

I'd be very pissed off I was a City fan. They either lose or win about 12-0.

No, I'd be happy now if my team was 4-0 up. Way too much pressure on City in the first season they're expected to deliver, people need to realise things don't just change over night and they should look to making a big impact over the future. This season is about bringing in the right players and making them gel together properly. You can buy all the big names you want, if they don't gel and there's no proper chemistry, it wont work. City have been judged way too early as has Hughes. I'm still not fully sure he's the right man for this certain job, but he's got to be given a proper chance and be given this entire season.

Perhaps "very pissed off" was a bit strong, but it'd certainly irritate me that they're losing most weeks, but when they do win, they look unstoppable. I'm sure City fans would have prefered a few 1-0 wins as opposed to the occasional 5-0 or 6-0 thrashings.

COOOOG!

3-0, Keane again. Fantastic break started by Reina.

[Hobo]

Really fantastic break. Played some great football today.

I completely agree with that thinking. If you can score 4 in a half and blow teams out by 4/5/6 every few games then there's now "we need to gel" excuse. Either you can click or you can't as a team, and the absolute ass rapings they deal out every 4/5 matches shows that they can. So yeah I'd be pissed because there's no reason for them to not show up for a few matches and then blow someone out of the water. It isn't like this match with Hull today is the first time it's happened. Too much pressure too early ? Pfffffft. That's the nature of the game when you get money.

Super Cog!

[Matt]

606 phone in tonight (if there is one)

I've said all along that Keane would come good

Keane is class and I've always said he'd be a great asset to us

[Hobo]

What's up with Gavin McCann's head? He has the weirdest bald patch ever.

Bollocks, as if people that phone 606 are that literate.

[Matt]

I keep coming in and out of the Citeh match but everytime I look, SWP seems to be shooting wide or over, you'd think he'd give in trying to shoot by now.

[Hobo]

3-0 could've been a lot more. Best Liverpool performance for a while.

[9 to 5]

I am glad me and IAceI don't have each other's numbers. >_>

[Dan]

Arsenal are being ripped apart here.

[Clawson]

There must be something in Stephen Ireland's water this year. Even when the whole team is blowing chunks, he still manages to almost keep us in it.

That's not to say we blew chunks today. I think Kou might be hanging himself somewhere.

I can't believe Arsenal just scored.

Villa have had 11 shots, 8 on target.

That was Arsenal's second shot :|

[The Future]

That was a wonderful clearance from Sagna.

Villa have completely torn them apart, the second half is going to be bloody entertaining.

[HailtotheYo]

It's about quality, not quantity.

of course, being lucky as all shit helps too

[HailtotheYo]

double post .................... and Arsenal deserve that one, that was a very nice goal.
