Fergal - no!

Come on tim, we can be an honest bunch of lads playing in a paper thin squad....

We look ok going forward, its the defence that might be a worry...

[PaulWinch again]

Got to be careful not give them space around the box. We've played ok so far.

[Rigadon]

I may be tempting fate here, but has Rodwell ever had a great game? 

[Ross]

Good start. Delph impressing again. Very disciplined.

[Fergal]

Loving the astronauts

Me too, probably gonna be the best thing about this game

It's a pretty lethargic start from Man City, you'd have to say. Still, decent enough from Villa, without really threatening.
