The only thing im really worried about before this game is Carr against Ashley, and Carew can be good on his day. Hopefully he wont have a good day and get good service from Young and Agbonlahor or whatever his f****** name is.. I know it's his club, but I think you have to be registred to play mate ...Dont know why i wrote Ashely instead of Young. Anyway, here's my team for the Villa game. Steve Nolberto David Steven José Nicky Njitap Alan charles Obafemi Mark

You should be a manager.

To say at least hehe...But i guess we are used to some up and downs during Souness and Roeder. We are experienced to handle this if if it goes to hell like many times before when we have been optimistic

i would be quite ok with 8 points from those four games, but i do beieve that we could win all 4 and then i would be in heaven =)

Well in that case i would start rumours every day at work so that i could get sent home

I really believed that Derby could get a goal. Looked quite open Citys defense...One situation where a derby player went through almost clear on goal and got a push in the back from Micah Richards but stayed on his legs anyway. If he had fallen there then Richards might been sent off.

Mike "stealth" Ashely

I think that if it just was rumours he would of played. thats bollocks. There's rumours every day...

Was that thisislancashire? I have read a few posts on there & Andy O'Brien doesnt get a good press, dont these trotters fan know that he put the ball in the back net!!!! Link to where I am reading from: http://www.thisislancashire.co.uk/sport/sportheadlines/display.var.1618218.0.faye_on_verge_of_2_million_move.php I read it from http://www.the-wanderer.co.uk/boards/viewtopic.php?t=12736 Wrong link. This is the one on 9 pages: http://www.the-wanderer.co.uk/boards/viewtopic.php?t=12754

Just read through a thread on around 9 pages about Faye leaving them for us...They seem to be gutted

Man City - Derby 1-1 FT Petrov sent off after 70 minutes Would like it end that way anyway..

Petrov really has a hot temper...Wouldn't surprise me if he got sent off in the second half, nic goal by Johnson. Im hoping for a Derby win..

RB firstly. A quality one. After that im happy But i would not complain if we signed a great player on that hehe

A little bit interesting seing city against derby..I hope for a draw ...Bojinov will probably start with Rolando? or?

I hope that wasn't a joke in one way...In the way of a stupid joke

I remember one time when i saw a turkish team play, well it was before the game had started and there was one lad on the pitch waving with his arms and the fans responded to it just as he gave them instructions, first the other side screamed out something and then the lad on the pitch turned to the other sid of the stadium and they responded to it. I think it was Besiktas Ultras that had this stuff just before kick off....

The atmosphere at St-Etienne is immense. They have two massive singing sections, one behind each goal and they both try and out-do each other with their songs, banners, flares, etc. Will try and post a few photos up later on when I get time. Yeah i have seen some of that. Immense as you said. Would be awesome if we could have something new at our stadium. One side singing and the other responding in a even more powerfull way. Some great stuff you can feel thgo through your spine (spelling?)

"Straight"

I think its st. etienne in France that have quite nice ways of making noise..would love to see something different in English football than the usual... Keep up the good work...

But Oliver gets the impression that Sam's happy with his summer dealings ..at least he didn't use the "i am told" as usual... now get a RB in also

good news

Theres already a thread

He was half-decent for the first two or three months. Ultimately though, he was s***, we never needed him in the first place but since we had him - it meant we didn't get another centre-midfield 'replacement' that summer, and was s***. Our centre-mid options that 05/06 season were Parker/Emre, Faye/Clark. Compare those options in CM to the players we have now today. It's sick how much better we are in that area now compared to then, especially when looking that depth

Van Der Vaart is targeted by Valencia in a £11m deal from what i have heard..
