St Chalet Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Was hoping that City would have been a good few up by now. They really seem to have lost their way. Also worth noting what a sicknote Rodwell is.
Saint Garrett Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Not watching it, but Silva has been crap this year, compared to how good he was last season.
Andre Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 City have got to win. For us, and for them. Such jokes of title contenders.
St Chalet Posted 4 March, 2013 Author Posted 4 March, 2013 wow, what an horrific bit of defending. For those watching on Forumvision. Think Fonte being mugged by Kone at SMS in August.
John Boy Saint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Forum Vision viewer here, was that a hit or a miss from Tevez?
110_Persaint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa are gone IMO. Between us, Wigan and Reading.
Saint Garrett Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa are gone IMO. Between us, Wigan and Reading. Despite if they nick a draw they're out the bottom 3? And QPR safe despite being bottom?!? Don't get your logic...
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 No one has gone. Will be a long and winding road to follow through till the end of the season. Wigan, Villa, Reading, QPR and ourselves are the 5 in it. I can't see it stretching above, as Newcastle and Sunderland have enough about them - and the other sides only need 1 or 2 more wins in reality. Our next few games will ensure we're well entrenched in it for a while longer.
110_Persaint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Despite if they nick a draw they're out the bottom 3? And QPR safe despite being bottom?!? Don't get your logic... I meant Villa, QPR and the third between the remaining three. This is based on performances. Every time I've seen Villa this season they've been dire.
Bearsy Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Every time I've seen Villa this season they've been dire. word. They're the only team in Premier League where Fox & Richardson would be upgrade at full-back. They've got some decent forward players tho. Midfield is garbage.
Barry Sanchez Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 word. They're the only team in Premier League where Fox & Richardson would be upgrade at full-back. They've got some decent forward players tho. Midfield is garbage. Beersy you are normally spot on the money but Danny Fox would get dropped from the Curdridge Girls Guides 2nd XI...........................
Tokyo-Saint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Not sure about that, villa still look to be in this. I'm getting nervous.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Usually spot on Baz? Don't know about that, I just have to type D and my iPhone is already guessing I'm about to say 'dumb bear', iPhones aren't often wrong either. Bill Gates knows what he's doin.
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa are playing pretty well in this to be honest. Lots of possession, although a little predictable at times. City haven't really got going if we're honest.
St Chalet Posted 4 March, 2013 Author Posted 4 March, 2013 Beersy you are normally spot on the money but Danny Fox would get dropped from the Curdridge Girls Guides 2nd XI........................... I scored my first ever hundred against Curdridge, I can confirm they are more garbage than Danny Fox.
Saint Garrett Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Dunno. Bennett is ****e. Very odd signing by villa.
St Chalet Posted 4 March, 2013 Author Posted 4 March, 2013 Technically, because the goalkeeper touched the ball, can Dzecho be offside?
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Dunno. Bennett is ****e. Very of signing by villa. Technically he is pretty sharp though, which may have been why they were struck by him. If I'm honest, the weak area's of his game are something which will get better with experience. I think he's technically pretty sound, will probably develop into more of a left midfielder though.

St Chalet Posted 4 March, 2013 Author Posted 4 March, 2013 In normal play, player kicks ball to goal keeper and attacker is offside. Player does nothing, goalkeeper kicks ball to player, he scores and goal is given. If the ref sees touch from keeper, has to give it?
John Boy Saint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Found my place in the Forum standings ........ Invisible. I will try again still 0-0 or did Tevez score?
Bearsy Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 just by the by did you know when you is getting people sending you on dumb jokes on iphones you can make Siri read them out? I recommend doing this, Siri has v.good comic timing!
110_Persaint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa are playing pretty well in this to be honest. Lots of possession, although a little predictable at times. City haven't really got going if we're honest. Exactly like they did against us. And we beat them. City will win.
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Found my place in the Forum standings ........ Invisible. I will try again still 0-0 or did Tevez score? Tevez did score, 1-0 to city at the moment

Player does nothing, goalkeeper kicks ball to player, he scores and goal is given. If the ref sees touch from keeper, has to give it? Thinking it through, no different to keeper palming it out to active player who is offside.
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Exactly like they did against us. And we beat them. City will win. They look equally as bad to be honest, just a little sharper in the back 4. Nasri looks complete turd though
St Chalet Posted 4 March, 2013 Author Posted 4 March, 2013 Found my place in the Forum standings ........ Invisible. Can relate to that, just debated the offside rule with myself!
S-Clarke Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Finished 1-0 to City, who were complete dross it has to be said. Villa played well, but didn't create any meaningful chances over the entire 90 mins. Very fortunate with all the results this weekend, if only we'd have picked something up in our game and things would look so much different. As the games go on, and the teams down there are remaining on 20-24 points, you do start to wonder if we'll get an all time low points total required to stay up this year.
John Boy Saint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Can relate to that, just debated the offside rule with myself! Danny Higginbottom had one chalked off where the goalie had fumbled he poked it in but despite there being a player on the line it was ruled as offside because there was only one out field player on the line if there had been 2 the goal would have stood, it's one of those subsection F iii vagaries of the offside rule that normally gets lost in the hubbub of the game, but that day the Lino had just returned from a rules refresher course and ruled it out!
whelk Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa's last 6 results have been exactly the same as ours and in same order
Dr Who? Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 So only QPR and West win, in the bottom half, and Sunderland and Fulham, get a point against each other. So pretty much as you were..... If only we had won!
Dr Who? Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa's last 6 results have been exactly the same as ours and in same order Well carry on like this until the end of the season, and at least we will not be bottom!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa's last 6 results have been exactly the same as ours and in same order Freaky
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Technically, because the goalkeeper touched the ball, can Dzecho be offside? Oh, yes. Law 11: • “gaining an advantage by being in that position” means playing a ball that rebounds to him off a goalpost or the crossbar having been in an offside position or playing a ball that rebounds to him off an opponent having been in an offside position
Whitey Grandad Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Villa's last 6 results have been exactly the same as ours and in same order Carry on like that and we should finish above them. The only problem is that they have to play QPR and Reading and they can't all lose.
Crab Lungs Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 I don't know why the media are surprised when City play sh1t. They've been playing sh1t ever since Mancini took over, with the exception of maybe 5 performances. Every other time they've relied on individual brilliance to drag them out of the brown mucky stuff, time and again. A half decent manager would have them much closer to United and probably wouldn't have bought such average rubbish like Rodwell - who is, at best, a mediocre midfielder (for mediocre, also see; Shelvey, Livermore, Henderson, Cleverley etc). I'd wager that even someone like Paul Lambert, Steve McClaren or Alex McLeish would have City much, much closer. Mancini will be found out if he has to actually coach and organise his next side, not just pick eleven players and hope for the best. Irrespective, cheers for the win tonight, City!
Wiggles31 Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 McCleish, surely he is the wrist manager to grace England. That said I do agree that Mancini is not the man. I mean I could win the league with that squad.
Turkish Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 Carry on like that and we should finish above them. The only problem is that they have to play QPR and Reading and they can't all lose. And Wigan. Could well be a relegation decider on the last day.
Crab Lungs Posted 4 March, 2013 Posted 4 March, 2013 McCleish, surely he is the wrist manager to grace England. That said I do agree that Mancini is not the man. I mean I could win the league with that squad. He's not great, but he'll always finish 1st or 2nd in a two-horse race. Mancini would finish third.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 5 March, 2013 Posted 5 March, 2013 It'll be between QPR, Reading, Villa, Saints, Wigan, Sunderland and possibly even Wet Sham (still reckon they'll drop down). Loads to play for yet.
St Lej Posted 5 March, 2013 Posted 5 March, 2013 He's not great, but he'll always finish 1st or 2nd in a two-horse race. Mancini would finish third. Not a Mancini fan if I had to take a wild guess?
