Yes. Fair point. Sorry about that.

Pontius Pilate at CB might come in useful though.

Yeah, pretty handy when it comes to crosses.

But they'd never let him play at the Maracana in the shadow of Corcovado.

[P45Mustang]

Some strange selections and substitutions by Pellegrini?

But one thing is for sure. The referee was an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE.

As bent as the Norwegian who did for Drogba and Chelsea a few years back.

I don't trust UEFA.

if you think City need a new manager, then you'd have to think the Champions definitely need a new manager, your thoughts peter?

I can confirm that Peter has absolutely no doubt that David Moyes will be a very successful manager at Manchester United

[SantiSuk]

Good match to watch until they went ahead. Seriously dodgy ref - first in favour of Man City, then Barca - not bent, just seriously lacking in judgement.

Have you seen the scan then Bob?

He has only just returned after a month out with a hamstring problem and City number two Ruben Cousillas, standing in for Manuel Pellegrini, who served the first of a two-match touchline ban, did not sound optimistic.

"It's very early to say, so we cannot yet say how long he [Aguero] is going to be out," said Cousillas.

"He felt some kind of pain in his muscle. We are doing some tests to assess it.

"It will be up to the medical staff who determine the extent of the injury, so we cannot speculate about this."

Weeell he didn't even go off injured. I get pains in my muscles everyday Chicog, scan my arse!

I wasn,t suggesting City need a new manager-just pointing out that the owners seem to think that they can buy trophies with the amount of money they keep spending and it usually results in sacking the manager-I have lost count as to how many they have had in the past 25 years -my belief in David Moyes is unchanged and I,m happy to wait until such time to say to all the doubters "told you so"

[P45Mustang]

And vice versa?

etc.

We'll see how much money United spend in the summer and we certainly all hope that the board has your patience

[P45Mustang]

Better watch out for Mourhino knicking the available targets though.

Emphasis on available.
