Aye, twas another classic in the game. Cabaye and Ben Arfa were both great signings. I bet Liverpool wish they'd made those decisions instead of Downing and Henderson?

What exactly Kenny was thinking when he signed those 2 is beyond me. Presuming it was all his decision of course.

Is it just me or is City's pitch/stadium looking different tonight? I don't remember the pitch being so far from the stands before? Have they made the pitch smaller?

The referee in the City game is doing my head in, why does he feel the need to blow the whistle four times as long as any other referee does?

City.... Titter.

When they introduced standard pitch sizes at the start of the season, City's was one of the few that had to be made smaller, albeit not by much.

I wouldnt be that surprised if Ajax win their home game against Dortmond, much less likely that City will beat Real Madrid and Dortmond. But stranger things have happened.

I know City fans rightly have a strong affection for Mancini, after he finally delivered a couple of trophies, but surely even they can see he is not a top class manager?

Yes, City are in a tough group, but they are looking close to a joke with their performances....All that money spent and yet it could easily be argued they are going backwards.

I said it a few weeks before they clinched the title and I'll repeat it again - A good manager would have a club with the backing that City has had, being a lot more dominant in their domestic league and competitive in the Champions League than Mancini presently has them.

Celtic beat Barcelona. Wowsers. 2-1. I am stunned, they had 16% possession.
