City's luck continues. Tevez smashes the penalty low and central, against Jaaskalinen's body, and it wriggles to the right and inside the post.

1-0 City. Harsh on Bolton.

There is just no point to Patrick Viera being on the pitch for them. He is ancient and offers them nothing positive. I criticize Rafa for being too negative against teams like Bolton and same can be said here of Mancini. There is no need for him to be playing Viera, De Jong and Barry, especially when they have Ireland, Petrov and SWP available

This game could've easily gone differently if that idiot leftback Paul Robinson, had half a brain cell.

dont think city have been that impressive i agree, think mancini adopted the italian lets hold on to a one nil lead mentality early in the 2nd half and the 2nd goal came from nothing.
impressed with johnson though he does everything it says on the tin, hugs the line and puts in good crosses and wants the ball, good buy that.

BBC commentator John Motson hopes to end goal drought

BBC Sport, 8 February 2010

If John Motson gets a little carried away should either Wolves or Tottenham score when they meet at Molineux on Wednesday, then please forgive him.

The BBC football commentator has sat through four consecutive goalless draws and is yet to describe a goal for Match of the Day in 2010. Can anyone remember the last? (answer at bottom of page)

Motty, as he is more affectionately known, has never endured a more barren run in more than 40 years behind the microphone.

He has sat through Saturday's goalless game between Tottenham and Aston Villa at White Hart Lane and January's goalless clashes between West Ham and Blackburn, Villa and Arsenal and Spurs and Hull.

"It is the longest run I have ever had," he said. "I'm hoping for a goal between Wolves and Spurs at Molineux."

History suggests Motty may well end his 375-minute wait for a goal in the Black Country as there have only been two goalless draws in 88 meetings between the clubs.

Wolves won the reverse fixture this season 1-0, while Spurs won 2-0 at Molineux and 5-2 at White Hart Lane the last time the teams met in the top flight in 2003-04.

* Motty's last goal was scored by Fulham defender Chris Smalling. It was his calamitous own goal that helped Chelsea beat the Cottagers 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on 28 December 2009.

Fancy Hull to get atleast a point tonight assuming Zaki and Altidore play. Their away form is abysmal but tonight may be different
