Man City vs Sporting Lisbon.. live on Setanta

HT

Currently 0-2 to Sporting.

The hope for City is that Sporting are not known for being mentally strong.

Premier League gettin owned once again
i know Chelsea went through
but Napoli are terrible defensively

Xavi6

Trophyless season coming right up!

steelcityblues

More a case of both Manchester clubs being pre-occupied with the league.

Only seen the last fifteen minutes of the first half but City look very lack lustre.

adox

Just seen the dive from the Lisbon player in the box. How embarrassing.

KittyeeTrix

Had to laugh at the commentators saying that Fergie would be cheered up to hear the city score...... I'd imagine it will be very much the opposite:D

With some of our play I've seen so far it looks as if we're going out of our way to lose it!!

Luap

The Manchester clubs need to concentrate on the league :rolleyes:

Xavi6

Need four goals? Take off Johnson, bring on De Jong. :rolleyes:

applehunter

Some manager you've got there.

Eh, hardly, considering both clubs played near full strength sides.

What is Mancini at taking off Johnson. Has De Jong ever scored a goal for City?

Two - v West Ham in the game and Liverpool in the League Cup

I suspect Mancini would rather not be in this competition with United out, going for keeping the score down rather than a comeback and end up having more games to play than United.

Who the hell are the commentators on Setanta???

But both sets of players don't seem too concerned, tbh. Not that I agree with it.

applehunter

This side commentator is embarrassing.

sundula

Surely but Manchester clubs have big enough squads to allow them concentrate on more than one competion?

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Good goal, another within 15 minutes will make things interestiing.

Xavi6

That goal all came from Dzeko's great tracking back to recover the ball after he lost it, well done.

applehunter

Sporting collapse.

Wouldn't surprise me.

KittyeeTrix

"at last we hear from the City supporters" says the commentator......

Funny that, must have been Sporting Lisbon fans singing Blue Moon earlier

Xavi6

Whatever you say about Mario he's an awesome penalty taker.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Great peno, game on?

KittyeeTrix

Balo:p

Cheeky as ever..

The_Kew_Tour

plenty time left. fancy City to at least get another, never know from there.

The_Kew_Tour

lol

De Jong trying to lift the Sporting player up :pac:

Guy:Incognito

If he's able to run before the end of the game he should be given a yellow.

I've been asking too but no answers yet...:)

KittyeeTrix

Wow:D

Paul Tergat

Big finish now

Xavi6

:eek:

We were 69/1 when needing four goals.

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

3-2.. I don't believe it.. I hope they make the comback complete, if only to spite that Raffinha _______.

Guy:Incognito

City to score again then concede with the last kick of the game.

Guy:Incognito

The worst thing about watchign all the diving and play acting in football nowadays is the fact that the refs play along with it. It's like bloody wrestling.

applehunter

Sporting are bigger bottlers than Shels.....runs away:pac:

NUTZZ

You'd really have to fancy City grabbing another goal now.

KittyeeTrix

Lol at the commentators now saying that if City get through they could see them winning it.....

15 mins ago they couldn't see us win a local 5 a side:D

Xavi6

Hope Mario decks someone on the final whistle

Guy:Incognito

That was just stupid from Kolarov

Jax Teller

Unlucky by Joe Hart there

Mr.Nice Guy

Wow that was almost an incredible moment by Hart. :eek:

Nailz

Unreal, I was sure that was in!

Big Pussy Bonpensiero

Oh. My. God. That would have been some finish. Absolutely shoking performance from the referee.

Turtyturd

That would have been quite possibly the best finish to a match ever.
