    Looks like Lichaj will be matched up against David Silva today.

    Lichajhad Bale to deal with on Boxing day and now will have David Silva. Yikes :eek: Hopefully he'll be up to it.

    Can I also just take a moment to state how much I hate Mario Balotelli?

    Any chance of a non-5-Live radio stream for this one? I've got some tasty rep...

    Balotelli's petulance should provide a sub-plot to this one. Will he sulk himself into oblivion again?

    Spoke too soon. Lichaj wrestles him to the ground for a legit penalty. Damn.

    nope - just dive his way into ignominy.

    Seriously - how does such a big, strapping lad, fall over like that. I hate that smarmy git with a passion.

    Balotelli down in the box as Lichaj is charged with the penalty...

    1-0 City.

    You can't give players like that an excuse to dive. Oh well.

    I hate "Super Mario" more than anybody, but that was a legit penalty...

    Yeah. Lichaj wrapped his arms around him. But, Balotelli did take a fall.

    Eric didn't even do a good job of hiding it... You can't use your arms like that.

    Should have been a foul on Lescott for holding off Agbonlahor.

    Balotelli was offside but the goal was allowed. Friedel saved it right into his path. :(

    And, I thought that last goal was offside.

    3-0 City.

    Balotelli looked to be a half yard offside but Lichaj was caught ball watching.

    I think I now officially wish Lichaj was indeed matched up against Silva. That's two Balotelli has gotten off of him. Me and my big mouth.

    Lets hope he gets a chance. Good news though, rumors are that Luke Young is heading to West Ham...
