Silva throughout his time at City has rarely started in a central position, it's only this season and the end of last that he's done so for consecutive matches as far as I recall. Silva and Nasri did work well together, the issue with their partnership is they are similar players who lack pace and directness.

I think the form Silva has shown centrally this season has been fantastic and up there with any form he's had since he's been at City.
I haven't watched much of De Bruyne wo don't know how he plays but I can see where he likes to play and it seems to be in the same areas as Silva has been thriving so far this season. So say Silva gets put on the right, maybe it upsets the balance.
Kind of like don't fix it if it isn't broken. Or maybe I'm hoping it won't work
lol.They didn't take the weekends results very well, some are shitting themselves that we're two points behind.
Good, innit?
This thread is always a disappointment compared to the RAWK thread. Only one quote from after the West Ham defeat, it's fairly textbook football-fan-on-the-internet rant.
Where's the conspiracies and the ragsragsrags?

Trust me, it is quite embarrasing, I'll post some tonight when I'm home.
They were complaining about only 4 mins being added on, how the ref screwed them over and it should have been 5mins.
Some time over the next few seasons, we'll win the league and they're going to go mental(er).
Most ABUs (which seems to be most City fans) will and tbh, if there's one thing I've learned over the last while, it's that I took it easy on those opposition fans.
to be fair to them I was sort of surprised he only gave 4 minutes as well (and I don't even remotely mind it)
Well after wankfest over City in the start of the season and all the troubles we had (GK situation, bad attacking play and striker problems) it is quite surprisingly that we are just 2 points behind, scored 3 in last two games and looked quite good and they had a hard time beating Palace week ago and lost their last game.
We also had some tough games, Tottenham, Swansea and Southampton away and Liverpool at home so as Carragher said after our match things look much better for us now then they looked at the start of the season or after drawing against Newcastle or losing at Swansea.
In comparison Chelsea was 3 points infront of Southampton at this stage of the season last season and 5 points infront of any real title contender (City).
I still wouldn't be shitting myself if I was them though. Watched the entire City-West Ham game and to my eyes it wasn't a case of West Ham putting on a superb defensive shut-out (Reid aside) or City struggling to come up with ideas, it was just one of those days where one team batters the other one and comes away with nothing. Nine times out of ten that performance earns them a win.
Well similar to us against Newcastle then. And you could argue that apart from that few minutes when Swansea scored 2 goal we were the better team. But in the end result counts. Ofcourse it is too soon to say who wil challenge and who will not but at the moment they are not running away and points will be dropped from all top sides, you never know how the table will look like at the start of the march when you could say who is title contender and who is not.
west ham played well enough in the first half, the full 2nd half was complete back to the wall though
It was a similar day at Crystal Palace as well. Very tough place to go mind, but as the game wore on, it was City piling forward, but they lacked that final ball to create something clear cut. A very lucky goal won it for them. Silva is irreplaceable for them.
Why do they shit themselves so much about us?
They can't get over the fact they are only 2 points clear of us, we've played 6 games ffs - how much of a lead do they want before they can stop shitting themselves..

They're truly worried, it makes me laugh. If we were as shit as they say we are, why have they got the runs?

Poor @VanGaalEra Your the most hated 'rag' on bluemoon. How you browse there without losing your sanity (and your hearing for that matter) I don't know!
VanGaalEra deserves an award.
Yeah I was mainly talking about the second half. Obviously they did well to get themselves into the 2-0 lead, but the fact they held onto it wasn't particularly to do with the quality of their defending (or any deficiency in City's attacking), they were just very lucky.
rag this, rag that.
The hatred in that forum is unreal. It makes great reading tbh but I feel sorry for them because they are so obsessed.
Whenever we play they give us so much coverage. They are a blessing in disguise

In fairness the Shaw injury has been talked about more than their title win hahaha!!
Just goes to show how much bigger we actually are.

I love how we were lucky to win a league with 5 games left and they deserved their title won on goal difference and with a goal in the last minute against QPR team who in the end celebrated the win with them....
If you asked them which of our title wins in the Premier League era we actually deserved based on performance and cutting edge, they'd probably hard pushed to name one. They might let us have 1999 through gritted teeth, but they could probably find a few heads on there to argue against it.
Quite simply, we've never deservedly won the league. We've always been shit, but we benefited from other teams being fractionally shitter. And the refs, of course.
Raging about Van Gaal Era on fecking bluemoon. Incredible gobshites they are
In the end they are idiots for me and i hate them even more then Liverpool. I still can't believe that their game was still played 5 mins after every other games has finished and when QPR players knew that they don't need points to stay up. The whole point in playing all last games at the same time is to prevent what happened their, i really don't believe i will ever forget that match...
I hope so much that our team can win the tittle this season just infront of them, it will be such satisfaction after all the wankfest over their team.

I feel like I've won the internet fellas. Should bow out on this note.
We should have a Rag of the month award for whoever gets mentioned on that site the most.

FFS. A little credit, please, mani.
They don't seem too well adjusted.
That's brilliant to read @VanGaalEra !
This poor sod doesn't get it..this has been the case for United the last 20 years, and winning the league a couple of times with the help of some laughable sheiks won't change that. They really are shitting their pants.

He deserves a tag line at least haha @Dwazza von MoosesteigerVanGaalEra deserves an award.
Yes, obviously. Still thinking about one...suggestions are welcome.
I was going to pick out this gem as well. What is laughable is that it is the complete opposite that is true here. Everybody wants to beat United, this is what has made some of our titles all the more impressive. Fergie even called it when Keegan lost it. No one cares about City at all. When United are in town we help fill stadiums and that's because people want to see us beaten, fair enough. City do not have that mantle at all. City get an easy ride most of the time.
