**Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

[Gazza Dazzla]

But the same could have been said for the rest of the Madrid starting 11, none of them looked like their usual self. If Varane continues his form from his last two games he's going to be some defender.

Is Jose still playing him behind a striker or is he in the position he played for us now?

 

[Kingdawson]

Really like Bellamy as a pundit, he says it as it is...

I've always liked him because of that (and the fact that he's a damn good player).

He is annoying on the pitch, but you need those players

He does so much good charity work off the pitch too which doesnt get acknowledged either

I'll go for a draw. Asking who I want to win is like trying to decide which eye I want to stab with a fork.

 

[markysimmo]

Actually almost looks a sell out at the Ethiad, probably buy one get three free or something

 

[Rorschach]

I guess were looking for a city win here. Feels dirty to say that.

 

[Kingdawson]

1-0 Emirates Marketing Project.

 

[Mumorn]

i fudging love Zabaleta. Best right back in the league.

Agreed.

 

[superspurs]

Bloody hell some finish !

 

[Reggie_Mentalist]

Cracking goal by Sturridge.

 

[Kingdawson]

Liverpool steal a goal...well played to them i say.

 

[Dayo]

I'm not complaining that Liverpool didn't kick the ball out but why is it only accepted that a game stops for a head injury and nothing else.

 

[Robbo]

Should've been a free kick for Dzeko though.

 

[rosenthal]

Ivory Coast in trouble, 1-2 against Nigeria with 15 minutes left.
Their golden generation will never be champions it seems

 

[Robbo]

I'm not complaining that Liverpool didn't kick the ball out but why is it only accepted that a game stops for a head injury and nothing else.

Because otherwise the game would be stopped every two minutes because of "injuries" to one team's players, when the other team was attacking. It's a good rule that the ref only stops the game from head injuries (i.e. serious injuries) - it prevents a lot of cheating, IMO.

 

[Dayo]

But apart from a bit of blood how can they tell if the head injury is genuine?

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Like how the City-Liverpool game is getting bitchy. More cards please.

 

[Dayo]

They should just let physios on during play.

 

[Bedfordspurs]

Agreed.

Agreed again. Without doubt the best full back in the league and up their with Philip Lahm for me. Just goes about his business in a quiet Mann and come up with key tackles and the odd goal
