Manchester City v Aston Villa Post-Match Thread

Drummond, I think its justified to be a bit pessimistic when we just got humiliated 5-0, are in the relegation zone and doing worse than last season which we survived going down by a whisker, no?

I mean, if a bit of pessimism and gloom isnt justified now then when on earth is it?

Easter time,I truely think this team will turn it around.However this result and Bentekes comment have really pissed me off,not to mention that daft swedish kid...

Talk about letting the ref off the hook on MOTD.

Kompany must have been sent to the studio by the MCFC media department to cover the stench.

Indeedy. Lets not investigate the ridiculous decision lets joke about a back back pass. Cretins.

Anyone think it would have been ignored if we'd won and that decision went against City?

[ChrissyPrice]

We're stll only 5th favourites to go down. I'd be happy with 16th in May.

Can't believe they have not laid into the officials on match of the day - fuckin disgrace. I'm not saying we would have got anything out of the game in the end City were comfortable winners but we had a decent first half and were still in it at one nil, that penalty turned the game. They can't be allowed to get away with it I hope the club are going to make an official complaint, no doubt the FA will just dismiss it and charge Andy Weimann for having a go after the whistle.

On a positive note, Arsenal looked shit until Spurs went down to ten, play like we did last week and I think we'll take them, back it up with a decent win against Reading and we'll be clawing back the Albion whose inevitable run of ten defeats must be coming soon  .

If someone had asked me before the Manure game if I was worried about us going down my answer would have been no as i've said before. Two games later and 2 defeats against the best 2 sides in the country doesn't change that. It's the next 4 that will indicate if i'm right or not, especially Reading, Stoke and QPR.

Well Match of the Day was truly cringeworthy. Lineker will need some mouthwash to get rid of the taste of Kompany's arsehole.

Fingers crossed. I hope we get those wins and never have to worry about this stuff again. We have used up a lot of our margin for error though.

First time i've ever seen rimming on BBC.

As well as 'Onest 'Arry as good as saying he'd take the QPR job. What a wonderful unbiased programme it is.

Everything crossed, otherwise the Samaritans will be on speed dial!

Villa are desperate for a midfield enforcer.  We are so lightweight in there.  And as good a player as Clark is, I think we are fairly desperate for an experienced centre back next to Vlaar, not Dunne though, someone half decent.

[TonyD]

We are so not going down.  Mid table is where we end up.  Our home form will come good.

This. Every other dubious penalty decision I can recall on MOTD has been analysed. This one wasn't even dubious it was just plain wrong.Except when it goes against Villa and one of Citeh's players is in the studio.

God it makes me utterly sick. Another surprise from Lambert in his post-match interveiw "we go again next week". I think we all know where we're going this season....

[Risso]

Urgh, that's already up there with "me babbies" in the oft-repeated, meaningless drivel stakes.

[Matt C]

Didn't expect anything today (or last week), its just the nature of the collapse (not the first time) that is hard to take.

I don't have the overwhelming sense of impending doom that I had last season but its impossible not to be concerned. The next four games and January will be decisive.
