United is now Three Points Clear (fucking irony) of City with 2 games in hand. A lackluster performance is really the only way to describe it. Villa's determination in defense needs to be talked about. Bent being in the perfect spot for his put-back was deserved. City's lack of care really has me gutted right now, especially their "touch" passing. I wonder if tired legs played apart in their sloppiness from their FA Cup Replay over the week, but it seemed that their passes were just heavy. Also, there is still a lot of adjustments to be made in regards to Dzeko. City don't really look like they know how to utilize him yet and a lot of times he seems to be trying to do too much with the ball instead of just getting in the box. I really think him and AJ will and can make a strong pairing once they get a feel for each other. I am going to end on that note because I could rant on all the things city did wrong in this game and fill up a doctoral thesis. GUTTED and DISAPPOINTED. In my limited expeirance has a City fan, this is apparently how they sum it up. Typical City.

Man City Needs Help

I'm a Manchester City fan, so on the evening before a huge match-up vs Arsenal, away, I thought it would be fitting to start a football blog. I'm mainly doing this to post my "typical city" rants but I also wanted to make a forum where my friends and I can discuss footy with the possibility of random viewers commenting on our thoughts. ( I think we may even get Beckham on a short-term loan deal for a few comments).

Now on to City's plight. We are a mere 3 points off the top of the table, albeit United also have a game in hand, but I find myself feeling as City can't make up any ground. I should be elated that Dzeko is going to signed, I am too, but it just feels like City just doesn't have the chemistry to make a successful run. We don't seem to have that same unity that United have this year. No matter who steps in the United line-up you feel like they are going to win. On the other hand City have Miner and Adam Johnson to replace Silva and Balotelli and I feel like the plague has descended upon our team.

A big game tomorrow could go along way t boost confidence, but it is going to take more than a couple big wins to see us at the top of the league. City needs United to lose. So I an concluding my first post/rant with a plea to the rest of the EPL, "Please beat United." I'm looking at you Spurs.

Ed. Note: I'll try to include facts and sources in future articles.
