Lucky escape Dunne?

This isn't going to be pretty, I fear.

Well done lads.

We can still **** this up.

Typical.

Gabby just needs some match time. The score line may be tight but its the perfect game to give him a run.

Nice spot of good sportmanship from Warnock.

The ref has so far cost us at least one penalty and a goal.

The Fonz scores again!

Oh for f**k sake.

Bannan and Ireland. Interesting. For who I wonder?

Unhappy.

Well this is uncomfortable.

Well done Stan. I had already conceded that in my head!

Carew you tit.

Its a real shame we don't have Gabby. Spurs look incapable of dealing with any pace.

Cock!

Warnock tries 60yrd cross field pass and fails...

Disappointment: A strange feeling when associated with Heskey coming off!

Milner has made the right decision financially, certainly in the short term, but the wrong decision for his long term playing career. The reasons being that Man City will not find stability for at least a couple of seasons. As such, they are likely to go through numerous managers during Milners time there and so he could easily find himself outside the prefered 11, or even 18. If they do happen to progress and find themselves in the Champions League they will go and buy better players than Milner. He's good but if they go and pay £200m for Messi and Ronaldo, just as an example, where does James think he'll fit in? So, potentially he'll get a fair few games this season but sadly, if City don't top 4 there will be instability and if they do Milner won't necessarily fit into their plans. I can just see him back at Newcastle in 3 years time and what a sad story that would be.

Ireland does seem to be a strange character but I actually know little about him to be honest. We see pictures of his cars on the net and read stories in the papers but if that's how men are judged then we have a problem! As for the contract and the money he was owed; I can see why people would think he was more concerned over the money than playing football and perhaps this is true, however, perhaps he gambled knowing how desperately they wanted Milner at Eastlands. Who's to say that had they called his bluff he would have come to us anyway?

I don't think we would sell him unless he wants to go, which I don't think he does. City would be a bad move for him in my honest opinion.

Does anyone think they are targeting Milner not just because he is a good player but because he is our player?

We tried and failed.

I hate that little bell end.

I'd be happy with a draw just to stop City getting a pop at 4th.

Not sure why Tevez throwing himself in front of Dunne isa foul.
