Kompany: Our Team Is Very Hard To Beat

Hang on, you can play for a point AND still launch a few counter attacks, surely? The fact that you have fielded the most expensive team in Christendom and have precisely ZERO attempts on goal to show for it is what is provoking so much derision. I think Mancini was just terrified of another 3-0 drubbing.

Hard to watch more like.

No I'm genuinely not, I was proud of the lads last night, dicking a multi multi million pound side for 94 mins mercilessly, making them look like an ordinary league 2 outfit or as I read in one of the nationals today dancing like a butterfly around a particularly slow and stupid bear. We were awesome last night, I know it's a results based business but it ain't always everything.

Bluedub you put up quite a brave face after a battering. Being used to getting hammered for 35 years makes one tough I suppose.

I don't blame city for how they played. Remember how they completely shat themselves at home to the spuds in the champions league decider last year? It's ingrained in Mancini now, he won't come out and play against the top 5 ever again, mind F*'ked by the spuds.

Mancini recently celebrated 12 months in charge of a team where many of the players are not of his choosing and several are not good enough or on the way out. Arsene Wenger has been in charge of Arsenal for 16 years and the team is entire his. The fact that you had more chances and more posession is hardly surprising, particularly as you were at home. Now if City played as defensively as last night in 16 years time under mancini I'm certain we will all join the arsenal fans in voicing our outrage at such an affront to the beautiful game. But our manager's pragmatism earned us a point at one of our main rivals for the title. Your moaning, groaning and general b_itching at us is highly amusing, particularly as we have seen our team destroy leesser opposition with consumate ease already this season. I for one am content with the way we are developing - but the operative word is developing. City are still very much a work in progress, and although we have spent huge sums of money, we are not a cohesive team, nor do we have all of the personell in place to become one of the best teams in Europe. But we are getting there very rapidly, and the screams of the Arsenal fans, the constant whining from your obsessed manager and the bleating of the press all conffirm one thing -we are out of the "liddle ciddy, everyone's 2nd favourite team" box and we're not getting back in for you or anyone else. Deal with it.
