By the way, the goals were: Wright Phillips (56th) for Man City Anelka (57th) for Man City Campo (59th) for Bolton
Fuller goes down in the box, PNE announcers screaming for a penalty, but the ref gives Fuller a yellow for diving. Announcers say the refs blew it, that it was a penalty.
Either that or it was one heck of a dive... All the way from Reading to Manchester (Just kidding around... all in good fun American40)
We kid because we can. ------------- 15 minutes to go - Dunne on for Barton, so looks like Claudio's going the full 90. Kevin Davies booked for Bolton.
Tor Claudio! Reyna heaps on some more in the 83rd minute. 6-2 to City ... save some goals from the rest of the Prem, fellas!
The American skipper opens his Citeh account! From the Beeb's tracker... 83:32 Goal - Claudio Reyna Man City 6-2 Bolton. Goal by Claudio Reyna (Man City) left-footed (low centre of goal) from right side of six-yard box (6 yards).Man City 6-2 Bolton. Assist (pass) by Antoine Sibierski (Man City) from left side of six-yard box.
Full time at COM Stadium ... Citeh almost singlehandedly outscores the rest of the teams playing today.
Well, i must say that it warms the cockles of my heart to see an American FIELD PLAYER kicking butt. We need a few more guys over there to show 'em how it's done!
I don't think they're having any troubles scoring goals in bunches. From my foggy memory, this is the second time this season they've scored more than four goals (maybe even more than five), and think they've scored more than three on a handful of ocassions. The Sky Blues are quite loaded in their attacking play, and they know how to finish.
