I only saw bits of the game on t’ net so won’t talk in detail about individual performances, but it was good to see Foley and Jarvis continuing their excellent partnership. Milijas again seemed to bring that skill and creativity that was lacking in midfield, so it would be tempting to ask McCarthy why he wasn’t in the team sooner, but that would be to forget that the other man on the scoresheet was Dave Edwards, who has gone a long way to explain his selection in past weeks. Solid if unspectacular – not a long-term option if the team is to improve, but a great grafter.

In truth, City looked below par but Mancini admitted that Wolves would have beaten quite a few teams yesterday. Sorry for the briefness of the write-up. Tell me what you made of the game. I’d be particularly interested to know: Doyle’s yet to get goal in the league, but how did he play generally yesterday?

And finally , of course, I should point out that I was right!

City went one up after 15 minutes and dominated the first half. Wolves should have been happy to go in only one goal down at the break, despite only being denied a goal by a stunning save by Given from Matthew Jarvis. City monopolized possession but froze in front of goal on several key occassions and Wolves really came into the game in the second half. Doyle and Elokobi came on at half time and both did well. Keogh saw a shot rebound off the crossbar for the second game in a row and City certainly finished the more nervous. Well done Wolves – keep this up and we should get the results against teams costing less than £x hundred million.

Man City certainly had a line up that had the commentators salivating so hard that I had to wring myself out at half time. Favourite moment: listening to them congratulating Shaun Wright-Phillips for falling over in front of Stearman in the 93rd minute, thus preventing him from getting his header on target. It’s not all about height apparently – lying on the floor is also a sign of talent if you cost £10 million.

And finally, I’m thrilled to announce that the ever-delightful Craig Bellamy played like crap.
