I never even knew we were playing on Sunday instead of Saturday. I have no idea when the QTR final cup game is, nor the price to get in, nor the inclination to go. I don't even know who are in Englands group for the World Cup. People have fallen out of love with top level and international football. A national disconnent magnified locally by the Allams incompetence and spitefulness. Seems Sky and BT are worried, has the football bubble burst.... https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/oct/24/sky-sports-bt-sport-people-switching-football-off
Wow, I could have written this. I (and many many more) cant wait for that bubble to burst, though the Chinese seem to ensure it's gonna drag on for the best part of my lifetime. Maybe we are all dinosaurs and just have to accept Allams are (though typically City we've found the worst) new breed of owners who don't give a ****.
Maybe, but them not giving a **** isn't really the problem. The constant refusal to use then name shows that they do give a ****...the problem is that the thing they give a **** about is pissing off anyone who thought that they could challenge their name changing ideas. Fans and the FA alike In fact I look forward to the day when we have an owner that doesn't give a ****!
The joy of the Championship is starting the season knowing you have a good chance of victory in matches against any of the other clubs in the division. In the Premiership we have an even chance against Sunderland, Middlesborough and Burnley and start as underdogs in every other game. It's not much fun losing all the time and as this is our fourth season in the top flight the novelty of visiting stadiums like the Emirates and Old Trafford has worn off.
Because they don't give a **** if the club dies after they've taken back their 'gift' plus interest They only give a **** about showing that they get their way and won't back down to anyone who challenges them?
It certainly does. I watched the first MOTD this season and haven't watched one since... Team match play golf (ala Ryder Cup)...now there's something I could watch!
Yes but they are hardly likely to get it now. Since we are not only certs for go down but also finish last in the table. We will lucky to make 10 points at this rate. Its clear that Phelan is out of his depth and the Allams crucified themselves by hounding out SB. He also looks he's building up a team of second rate coaches as well to match his capabilities.
Fair points. Allowing Pennock to leave the youth set up is a terrible decision. Could be the reason. Its a ****e decision.
Wow, we had a golden 2 minutes. Yes, about time we had something going our way. Apart from snod, Marshall, Davies and Daws, did anyone else deserve 4/10?
Not sure I agree Chazz. The fella has proved he's one of the best at what he does. He needs to prove himself at the next level. And he's done it at every level he's tried, so why not? I hope he has some overview with the kids though, sure its about him installing 'systems' rather than his personality.
All about opinions. M'bo 4. Still not sure what he does do yet. Clucas.ok, a tad harsh, I know what he does but not a left back/ left wing back. He was targeted today so every good thing he did going forward, was poor defensively. Macguire, 3/4 we joked about our new Makele. Nice crowd pleasing dribble or pass, then loses the ball in horrendous position. No awareness, no idea of position. Offer Boro a discount if they come back in January. Livermore. 4. I'm a fan but his passing is woeful. Would he be better in a three man defence? Before anyone slates me, if we hadn't had the golden two minutes (and we'd lost 2 or 3 nil), then would you have changed the ratings?
Get a grip. We are only two points behind Bournemouth and Leicester, and just one point behind Palace, Boro and Wet Spam.
..jiminy ****. Doesn't matter where we are at now though does it? Two strikers from today looking at lengthy lay offs.
