Can't see anything but City returning to winning ways tonight on ESPN's early evening game and going 3 points clear of United again.

Thoughts?

[lichtie23]

City have loan signing David Pizarro in the squad but Mario Balotelli remains suspended. Vincent Kompany and Micah Richards are expected to overcome injuries.

Fulham have Mark Schwartzer and Mousa Dembele back from injury but Andy Johnson and Steve Sidwell are out through injury.

New signing Pavel Pogrebnyak is still waiting International clearence

Think it will be close but City will edge it

[lichtie23]

You reckon Fulham wil put up a decent fight?

[lichtie23]

City: Hart, Lescott, Richards, Savic, Kolarov, , Barry, Silva, Johnson, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko

[lichtie23]

Fulham: Schwartzer, Kelly, Hangeland, Senderos, Baird, Murphy, Etuhu, Davies, Duff, Dembele, Ruiz

I see City have taken an early lead, maybe it's not worth watching. Has to be better than the rugby though.

Definite pen? Really? Obvious dive - twice from Johnson. Lucky the ref didn't send him off for them but he got fooled in the first dive.

Definite contact

All initiated by Johnson. Never a penalty, clear dive. Baird completely pulled out before any contact.

[lichtie23]

We agree to disagree.

City looking comfortable don't you agree?

[Widge]

If you think that was a penalty, you're fucking blind, 100% dive and blatant cheating from Johnson. Feel sorry for the ref though, he couldn't see it was a dive.

This is a nightmare trying to watch this on
The telly and the rugby on
The laptop

Dickson etuhu's tackle on Silva should have been a penalty.

Unsure about johnson's.

Dembele doesn't look too bad.

Conditions look absolutely horrible.

me. it should be orange. yellow doesn't work

[Widge]

Yellows fine if the grounds white, but the green with snow on it, is almost yellow. Thats the problem.

[Steve McQueen]

Maybe a black ball would show up best?

Obviously. Always were today after the early goal.

I agree. Was the only actual penalty out of the 4 "shouts" i've seen.

Quite right. No idea how anyone can watch replays of that and think it was anything other than cheating. It was clever cheating though, I'll give him that.
