Smashing strike. Only watched since HT but City have been shite.

Smashing strike. Only watched since HT but City have been shite.

First half they were also shite.

 

[The Bear]

If Burnley can keep their composure here, City look ripe for the picking on the counter.

 

[Kenny]

Wolves, sorry Burnley sub Vokes and bring Ward on (Jones, Shackell and Kightly all agree its a good sub)

 

[YoungWolf]

Wardinho on for Vokes

 

[The Bear]

This will go down as a Mick McCarthy victory. Just needed Kightly on for the set.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Thinking back, I think the last time City played here is the game where a young K-Mac got taken off at HT and buggered off down the pub.

 

[The Bear]

Wow. That looked like a nailed on penalty.

 

[Kenny]

Big call from the ref. Could have easily been a penalty to Man City

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

It's a pen. Contact, doesn't get the ball...what more do you want.

 

[The Bear]

Poor old Padre Ted is looking like a man expecting the sack at the end of the season.

 

[Kenny]

Fantastic win for Burnley that drags Sunderland well and truly into the relegation shit.


At the other end if Chelsea don't win the League from here then Jose should retire....

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

This will put Burnley just one point behind a ragged Sunderland, right back in it.

 

[Alan]

Weird one. Mee doesn't get the ball and gets a little contact on Zabaleta, but Zabaleta's touch has given the ball straight to Burnley anyway.

So even though it probably doesn't jive with the rules, I think it's the correct call.

 

[Parkins left foot]

Looking at the stats - 70% possession for City and 22 shots against 10 (but only 1 more on target) - makes no difference if you don't score

 

[The Bear]

Jamie Redknapp really can't say the name George. It's ending up as Joys Boyd.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Burnley have given themselves a lifeline, but City could struggle to stay in the top four if they do not improve, and so quickly.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Think they'll be ok. Southampton should lose tomorrow and at least one of Man Utd or Spurs will drop points. They probably only have to finish above one of United or Liverpool (they'll have at least a four point cushion back to 5th after this weekend's games, effectively five with goal difference) even if they do get overhauled by Arsenal - I certainly think they'll finish the higher of the Manchester clubs. United have evil fixtures to come and they still look awful. Whereas City should really be winning all their remaining home games (West Brom, West Ham, Villa, QPR and Southampton).

 

[Kenny]

City will finish 2nd. No chance of winning the League unless Chelsea blow up in style

Watching Sunderlololololololand v Villa on Sky.

Fucking hell!! I would back Hartlepool to beat this shower. I don't usually approve of boo's at half time but every Sunderland fan has a right to be fuming with that performance. No way can Poyet continue, he has lost it and the players are on the beach, ready to tweet #headsgone and move on.

Villa fans singing "we score when we want"
