City draw after dodgy penalty

That doesn't make much sense - they've been steadily improving their European coefficient (or whatever you call it) over the last few years. This year they were actually seeded quite high, but they were unlucky to get a tough group.
Still, I agree with you on the no sympathy bit though!

Yeah City were in Pot 2 and Roma in Pot 4 so it was just the way the draw panned out for them.
That said they really should be doing much better in the competition.
And I am another that has no sympathy for them.

Usually id share the no sympathy feeling here but my god that was a poor refereeing decision. It also cost me a big bet that I put on for Man city to win with BTTS so naturally I'll be pissed off also!

Mangala has been horrendous so far. Had one decent match, other than that he's been a huge liability.

Great. They will knock us out of the Europa League instead.

Yep. No absolutely extraordinary play, just pass and move and interchanging at its best so far.

What impressed me most was the desire shown in the final minutes of the half... First you had Robben chase back 40 yards to dispossess his man, and then right at the end Alonso pushes right up to close down, they win it back and force another save. Just wouldn't happen with many teams.
