As funny and apparently accurate at that zinger is, both parties are coming out of this looking like quite pathetic little men.

Far more likely to walk than get sacked, surely? We're offering him lucrative contracts to stay here 3 more years! I've fucking love Ketsbia here to be honest. Imagine what would happen if Lambias gave him a slap

Absolute must-win game, no two ways about it. If we slip into a relegation spot I simply can't see us hoisting ourselves out of it.

Denilson? Delusion more like.

We had this last time "Oh, it's not bad, who were people expecting, Kaka? I'm sure Keegan's happy with the players and they're his targets" Next day...

Hahahaha, he's like the football equvilant of Kerry Katona, all over the british media day in, day out without ever actually doing anything of note.

Bit of a sickener to get the letter through the other day outlining when they're going to take the long list of £59 amounts out of my account. I'd prefer just to skim over it in my statements and pretend it isn't there.

You calm the fuck down! I'm fucking calm!

Your links broken, I keep clicking the button and nothing's happening! Fix it! For the love of god fix it!!!!

"So, you want Given? How about we do a deal. Could we have Johnson?" "Well we'll do the Given deal first and get that sorted then we can talk about Johnson" "OK sure, here you go. Now, about Johnson, can we have him?" "Not for sale, sorry."

Really, do them seem sure about that? Sky seem completely sure it's not going anywhere, just said City have said they have a policy of not selling their best young players. Fuck it, I might switch to Setanta. If I'm going to sit and watch bullshit it might as well be watching optimistic bullshit

If we're running around looking for players now we're shit out of luck - any team selling a player now will have no time to use the money to replace them.

Man City have rejected our £8m bid for Johnson. Similar bid for unnamed midfielder also rejected. Ashley and co have done "Everything they could have done" to get Johnson. Yeah, except fucking ask for him while City were trying to buy our highly rated fucking keeper you bunch of incompitants!!! "Here you go, here's Given for a pittance. Oh, by the way, now that's done I don't suppose we could have Johnson? We'll give you £8 million pounds. " "No thanks, don't need the money. We're billionares now y'see. Might as well keep him." "You're what? Fuck, why didn't you tell us that when we were haggling over Given?"

SSN say they believe that Man City may have met Blackburn's £25m valuation of Santa Cruz. If that's true we've allowed ourselves to get completely fucking stiffed on the given deal.

Taylor deal completed according to SSN Craig text from Zog - Would like to thank fans for giving him to opportunity to play for such a great club and for the support they've give him. Say's he's making a donation to the SBR fund and a Wigan based kids charity.

A mackem

If we got more money from Wigan for N'Zogbia than we did from Man City for Given it's a world gone mad.

David Craig on SSN saying that the club say there's no truth to the Bent/Matrins swap story

People were saying he was a mackem but I thought the top he was wearing looked like some form of toon merchandise. Fuck knows what he was up to, from what I saw he didn't seem to have much of an aim other than standing there going "I'm on the pitch, raaaaahh!

Not the keeper man. It's Tim Westwood, he's being brought in to serve as Nile Ranger's translator.

My heart sank down to my boots when he stepped up to take the pen in the midst of having an absolute nightmare game even by his excruciatingly poor standards - shouldn't Nolan be our regular pen taker? Fair play to the lad, he put it away well. If only he got a chance to put the ball down, take 30 seconds to decide what he wants to do with it and then take a shot in open play, seems like that's what he needs.

Well with souvenirs from European trips you obviously weren't a mackem.

Play him on his own upfront in a Lone Ranger formation. Also, sign David Silva to play behind him in midfield and find a player with the name or nickname Tonto. Failing that, someone from Toronto will do.

I feel ill. Least confident I've ever been going into a derby, although I said that last time and at this rate I'll probably say it next time as well.

Would have preferred it if his ultimatum worked to be honest, he's a better player than Kinnear is a manager.
