    How many times will they mention possession? Lets ignore they've had 0 shots and focus on the passing...

    That can be their weakness - you have to be disciplined and concede possession in areas where it doesn't matter - but you have to be tight in the important areas. Requires intelligent and disciplined players. Then be sharp up front and they are more than beatable.

    Barcelona getting a few dodgy free-kicks around the box.

    Wigan 1-0 Barnsley

    Kolarov got away with that. Seen plenty go for that sort of tackle.

    I love watching the different styles - City are playing them well. They have to be patient, but I think they are going to win this.

    Wigan an important goal. Would be nice if Watford get one too.

    Man City are the better team.

    Don't let the commentary fawning over Barcelona fool you.

    This ref must be on the blob. He's a right sensitive soul. Giving fouls for nothing.

    I think the game is nice and even. Not too many clear-cut chances, cancelling each other out. Game should open up in the second half.

    Why do they need to rub in what we pay for gas these days?

    It wasn't. And yes, DeMichelis is and always has been shite.

    Am I the only one who is sure that was outside the box when he gets fouled. Not where he ends up.

    It is about the discipline - you don't let Messi go. Ref very poor for build up - clear as day foul on City player though! At all levels you have to beat the idiots in the middle as well as your opponents!

    Demachelis is too poor even to get into our back four. Lescott would also have given Citeh a potent threat on set pieces. Citeh going out.

    Floodgates spring to mind.

    One mistake can ruin an entire game.

    Spends 100's of millions on the squad over the years, how the f@ck does demichelis get a game?

    Thought the foul was outside the box. Messi's foot plants outside the box after the contact. No arguments against the sending off though.

    You can't plan for a poor ref though- left exposed because they lost possession due to idiot missing a clear foul. I think the standard of refs is a real issue for football.

    to a certain extent City have gone at it harder since the s/off .. Touré especially has woken up .. too late ?

    Well done the ref for not giving the foul on the Man City player - obvious dive.
    In the name of God, put some pressure on Barca and show some ambition. You are supposed to be our best team; this is embarrassing.
