Another wacky result in our wacky season! Can we pretend to play Norwich every week? Lambert seems to delight in sticking it to his former employers though of course I knew Wes "Messi" Hoolahan would have a blinder today after our doomed romance during the transfer window. At least he refused to celebrate his goal, bless 'em. Anyway, things were looking a familiar shade of bad until Big Ben offered a moment of unparalleled genius to set us on our way. Great win, great response.

You have to feel for Sunderland, City barely lumbered out of second gear all afternoon but for this frenetic little spell at the beginning of the second half during which they just so happened to deliver two pinpoint silver bullets, one of which was so fantastically silly that it may have been directly lifted from an edition of Roy of the Rovers. After that you knew it wasn't to be.

Worst weekend ever. First, Hamburg stuff Dortmund like they always do, even though they're hilariously rubbish and haven't kept a clean sheet since the Keegan era. Needless to say, perfect preparation for a trip to Zenit St. Racistsburg. But then Villa somehow manage to the lower tone further with a charmless, guileless, pigheaded second half display against a team that haven't scored since Jimmy Nail last topped the charts. Never mind Grant Holt, Michelle McManus would have offered better movement upfront than Benteke today. Two weeks off, warm weather training in Portugal and they play like a hungover pub side. Its a disgrace.

Maybe if we'd shown up in the first half we'd have given Cardiff the thrashing they so clearly deserved. Easily the worst team we've faced all season, I'd bet the proverbial farm that they're Gunnar get relegated. Definitely two points dropped. Delighted by the past few days at BVB, absolute demolition job of the rancid Bremen and now into a cup semi. Surprised the wretched, gutless Hamburg haven't forfeited the game against Bayern already, could be a cricket score.

Congratulations to Michael's men for reaching the League Cup final in heroic, if ultimately rather farcical circumstances. Anyone doubting England's claim on Januzaj need only look to his abysmal penalty as proof that he's one of us.
Possibly our best performance of the season. Don't let the goal chronology fool anyone we did not crumble under overwhelming pressure nor did we park the bus, only Suarez's "nous" got them back to parity (maybe I should question the chosen referee's place of birth?) and thereafter we were just as likely to go and nick it as them. Thankfully Benteke looks rejuvenated now he's back in the goals while the addition of Bertrand is a clear improvement on Luna though we could definitely still do with one or two in (and frankly, one or two out). Has Moyes made a bid for Lee Carsley yet?
Haven't seen much of the boy at Sunderland but he looked lively at Augsburg last season. Moments when he looked the part for us were few and far between, but he was never used in his preferred position and was treated appallingly by Di Canio. Get him super fit and in the right headspace (which I’m almost certain Klopp will be able to do), he could become a real star. Confusingly enough he'll be making his second debut for Augsburg against Dortmund next weekend. Will probably score, miss a penalty, get sent off and or do a cruciate!
