Weekend's Other Matches - 26th/27th April

[officepest]

Eddie Dzeko has put City 1 up.

[nut flush gooner]

To borrow from the Sky hyperbole cliche-o-meter, this will blow the title race wide open.

It's good to see Mourinho is above these "park the bus" tactics too.

It wasn't that long ago that our team would be set up like this. We used to win trophies by parking the bus, remember copenhagen 94?

Fair play to the chavs, they have shown how you nullify a fast fluent football team.

Of course. We were massive underdogs though and we hadn't spent the best part of £500m on our squad. I've never denigrated Mourinho's tactical ability but I despair at his bemoaning of opposition tactics when he is the most negative manager around.

Apples and pears my friend. Football was totally different then.

It's more than the money with this match. Mourinho got the old siege mentality going this week, it galvanised his team and he tactically out played Liverpool who thought the league was in the bag. For that you have to give a lot of credit to the manager no matter how much of a *word censored* he is.

Makes me laff how gooners criticise our manager, then don't give another manager credit when he does what we wanted to do a few weeks back at anfield but failed miserably.

[BournemouthRED]

what a crazy league its been

this one has some twists and turns left in it!

[armchair]

I dont understand how its good for us to be guaranteed 4th place? Seems to me the only benefit is the money aspect which Wenger wont spend and then he sacrifices games in other competitions to try to progress in the CL. Which we will never win cause Wenger wont strengthen adequately. And so it goes on, and fukin on....

Probably the wrong thread I know.

I absolutely loved it when we set up not to concede under Graham. We knew if we nicked a goal, we'd not lose. Pity we cant play a little more like that these days. Mourinho is what he is and some say he has little class but there is no doubt he is a class manager.

On a lighter note there are thieves calling talksport criticising Rogers ffs.

Was it rogers who slipped on the half way line?

[Henry Norris 1913]

theres nothing wrong with parking the bus, unless that tactic is utilized by a hypocrite mong who critisized another side for using those very tactics.

[StuartL]

Please God, let Gerrard have just cost them the league. I will piss myself laughing

David Pleat would call that "somewhat poetic justice"

But definitely not from a wound down car window. And definitely not in a red light district.

[goonersid]

Mourinho it must be said is a tactical fucking genius

[officepest]

JaJa Toure-Binks makes it 2-0.

[Supagoon]

hopefully the atletico bus parks itself nicely on the Stamford bridge turf.

Man City led by the beast that is Yaya Toure will now romp to the title. I'm a blue till the end of the season.
