sevilla vs city

[ebm1991]

Yes
Yes
And fecking
Yes

[Rowley Birkin QC]

On fire here!

[bluepill]

great game to watch so far, we're probably committing a bit too much forward.

Sterling has started giving the ball away again after a swp like start

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Brilliant build up from Navas there!

[bluepill]

best champs league first half ive seen from city

[ebm1991]

Navassssssssss

[ebm1991]

Crear game!

[ebm1991]

Great that is

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Lovely calm finish from Bony as well

[bluepill]

i'll be honest when i saw the lineup i thought we'd struggle to get goals.

[reddishblue]

Well, that's my prediction fucked apart from the riot.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Half time and going really well. Not over yet though - we must not switch off. Almost every cross and corner Seville put into our box looks dangerous

[Stephen Paul]

cracking first half , great attacking City

[Swiss]

Yep, so close from Navas!

Only slight I would have is with Otamendi not clearing the ball for their goal

[bluepill]

i hope we don't sit back until we get 5. There's no reason we can't demolish this team and it's about time we showed what we can do in this competition

[gavin]

Great half. Loving it. Raheem was on fire then back to indecisive. Yaya commanding. Fernandinho great. Bit dodgy at the back but we look like scoring many more than conceding.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Good ref too... (so far)

[bluepill]

well the ref hasn't spoiled the game but did miss 2 penalties

[bluepill]

we're taking the piss out of this team

[Rowley Birkin QC]

We've actually looked like a Champions League team tonight. Very, very good win. Excellent performances all round from the boys in fluoro yellow!

[Kilkenny Blue]

Best performance in CL by far.  Actually look like a contender this time.  Pure class, kept the ball, great passing and movement.  Yaya was back to his very best and Sterling looked a different class.   

[bry the guy]

So many man of the match contenders and the REF is well up on that list he was great.

[ebm1991]

Even Navas and Bony looked good!

[KunDB]

Absolute perfection, right tactics, right attitude, right result.

Over the (blue) moon with that tonight.

Well done to the squad and management.

[Ludo]

My words are well and truly eaten.

[Swiss]

Good win 

[bry the guy]

The thing is why cant we play with that tempo every game??

[gavin]

It helps when the opposition have to win the game. We were too fast and too good for them when they had to play us.

[bry the guy]

Almost every team we play need to win or get a result.We won this game in the 1st 15 mins so why dont we take a gamble and kill every game off in the 1st 10-15 mins just blow them away.

[andy1966]

According to BT sports , City are the only British team to ever win at Sevilla, even England have never won there ?
City never cease to amaze me, First team through to the last 16 and they did it without several top names
I agree the ref was great , never flinched ,at some real tackles and totally ignored the divers ,I'd love to see more like him
Sterling and Boney starting to show promise
But this is city and I just hope in the next few weeks ,we don't meet somebody from the bottom of cement truck windscreen trophy league ,coz we all know what will happen
But as for last night  , I am enjoying the latest "Up"

Bottom of the table, new manager, City off the back of a big win....what could possibly go wrong at Villa? ;-)

Fantastic performance last night, well done to everyone, players, coaching staff and the City fans out there. Fernandinho was world class.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Were you waving one of these Brendan?

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Still buzzing after last night's game! I think we finally have a proper, versatile squad.

[goat]

watched it this morning, wasnt bad

[Neil Mcnab]

Absolute perfection, right tactics, right attitude, right result.

Well done to the squad and management.

Ditto

The referee not falling for some of their antics helped. If we play like that in Turin...

Were you able to watch the full game? Also did you hear fox sports have lost the Premier League tv rights? 

[bluebrendan]

Were you waving one of these Brendan?

No, I was booing the telly. Neighbours probably thought I'd lost it, as they've only moved in recently. 

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Thought you might have been enjoying Sunny Spain Brendan    My neighbours must certainly wonder about some of the expletives that drift out of our open windows in the small hours of a warm summer's night during the northern hemisphere football season.

Game was (luckily) the one shown on SBS shandon. Seems SBS still have the rights to broadcast a Champions League game now and then (although on some European football nights they don't show anything  ). I was pleasantly surprised when I checked the TV listings as I was convinced they would only have the Real Madrid v PSG game on.

Yes - a bit shocked this week when I heard about Foxtel losing the rights to the Prem. I'm worried, but not panicking yet! Gone to Optus, but they dropped their cable TV service years ago so it will be interesting to see what platform they put it out on (presumably via their own broadband streaming?)

It's a shame though - Fox Sports Prem coverage has been excellent all these years, but Foxtel as a whole has always been too expensive for what we get here, and they screw you for more money for every tiny bloody upgrade. Always thought their business model was stupid. I think I read recently that their subscription take-up rate has plateaued. They're going to be facing tough competition from the likes of Netflix soon. I suspect the Premier League has gone with Optus because they'll get their 'product' into a more competitive and potentially much wider market. The big questions will be - what will Optus charge us? And will Optus (a telcom company with not the greatest reputation) be able to provide a reliable and stable service? With our internet speeds - all I can say is I hope the National Broadband Network cable finally gets to my street soon!

[shandon]

Yes I didn't even check the tv guide to see which game SBS was showing. I almost forgot they still show one game of champions league per round.
So you think Optus will only show the games as online streaming? Call me old fashioned by I prefer watching on television. I even read somewhere they might consider doing a deal to have premier league back on free to air tv as well. But that's probably unlikely. I don't know much about what channels Optus offers. I will have to have a look for next season.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I agree about the TV thing - haven't got used to watching streamed stuff on the compute yet. Not the least because in my experience (at least in Aus) it's not always that reliable - certainly not on live stuff anyway.

Like I said - Optus dropped their cable TV service years ago - so it's going to be streaming if they are going to keep it to themselves. Alternatively, I too have heard rumours that they may sell the Premiership back to free to air TV in various packages, but I suppose we'll have to wait an see.

[nimrod]

I quit Foxtel 8 months ago (moved house) after 12 years on platinum package, they treated me like shit when I quit, and then had the cheek to ring me and consider going back to them............

I have Netflix now $12 a month

and watch all City games with my laptop wifi'd to my telly

It works a treat, and its free

I think they'll be fucked without EPL

[Rowley Birkin QC]

I know you don't care a jot about it nimmers, but I think you're under-estimating the draw of Foxtel's AFL coverage. But I do agree in part, losing the Premier League will put a sizeable dint in Foxtel's pulling power.

I've got all the smart TV and the cable broadband based wifi network stuff and I've watched a bit of sport on links via it, but I find the picture quality a bit sus sometimes on these "free" (and not strictly kosher) links.

Yes your right about AFL, but Foxtel has huge overheads when compared to say Netflix which has thousands of movies and tv series for a fraction of the price, I think Foxtel will have to become an internet based streaming service eventually as more and more customers leave for cheaper pastures. I was paying $185 a month

When I ended my subscription they sent me a letter saying if they didnt receive theyre equipment back by mail within 14 days I would incur a $900 fee (I had 3 x iq's, plus 3 remotes and all cables), it used to be somebody came and picked it up but now you have to post it back, so they send you a kind of threatening letter, it took the letter 4 days to get to me so I only had 10 days to pack it all up and return it, then worry that they had received it...........I had been a customer for 15 years on the full package, never a late payment etc and they treated me like a leper

depends on the links kenny, flash ones will always be shit but the acestream ones are in hd and free

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Oh - there's no doubt services like Netflix will start to put traditional TV providers under serious pressure in just a few years from now nimmers.

acestream eh goat? I'll remember the name.

[shandon]

Thanks I did actually see the full game myself on Bein Sports television. I was just asking Rowley as I remembered he didn't have Bein, but I forgot SBS still show one game per fortnight 

[nimrod]

acestream eh goat? I'll remember the name.

you'll need fast internet for the HD stuff Ken, weve got fibre optic here so it works well.

[Rowley Birkin QC]

Presumably if you are on a direct fibre optic cable you're on the NBN nimmers?

They've not got around to doing our suburb yet. So for now I'm still on a Hybrid Fibre Coaxial cable. (Still heaps better than ADSL though...)

[nimrod]

Presumably if you are on a direct fibre optic cable you're on the NBN nimmers?

Yes

[gavin]

It's actually some sort of green!

Seville beat Real Madrid 3-2 tonight. It certainly is a funny old game.
