Here's a cracking spoof review of Man City's game with Aris on Wednesday night. Well, I say spoof, some wags are sure it's taken from The Daily Mirror verbatim:-
"Manchester City's £1bn squad again failed to impress as goal-shy Edin Dzecko and £200k-per-week flop Yaya Touré scuffed them into the next round.
Despite packing his side with expensive attacking flair, Roberto Mancini watched in dismay as his handsomely-paid charges once again failed to inspire, scoring only three times and never looking likely to concede.
A defensive error and a lucky deflection gave an undeserved gloss to a scoreline that cannot disguise the fact that a side that everybody predicted would take time to gel has, in fact, taken time to gel and is now, surprisingly, beginning to gel.
The absence of Carlos Tevez's name on scoresheet will concern those observers whose tactical analysis extends no further than insisting that City only win when the busy Argentinian gets a goal, while the failure of Mario Balotelli to do anything that could be slowed down and endlessly replayed as evidence of his suspect temperament offers further proof that he is yet to justify his enormous price-tag.
Mancini cut a forlorn figure in the dugout as he contemplated a trip to Kiev in the next round of a tournament that, although regarded as beneath contempt by the punditocracy, his side must now win if he is not to be branded an abject failure and hounded out of office come the end of the season."
Quality. :)
