Colos Short and Curlies

For anyone who thinks it can't get worse. Im working in fucking Manchester at the moment, tomorrow is going to be fun. Might not bother going in

some may mention paul kitson or carl cort or viana as other managers mistakes. No one will mention Kitson. £2.25m, sold for £2.3m

Has anyone mentioned Daldlish's master stroke of Pistone for £4.5m?

Ownes last game for the club? If its a slight knee knock it gives him the perfect excuse to miss a few months

Freeview, baby! Fabulous, am off to ring sky now. Bit late but you need to have the News mix to get SSN

He looks fuk all like Kaka. More Luque

It is though, he could've just hired a hooker. Shoulda called Ronaldo

3. He's gonna score against either the Mackems or the Smoggies

This is one area where Ashley's 'Triaxis of Evil' have donw bloody well. Dyer, Parker, Emre, Milner all out at a combined total of more than we paid for them. You can argue that prices have generally gone up, but we've never been able to command good fees for our unwanteds in the past.

He didn't seem up to the fight last season in KKs early days (Villa springs immediately to mind). With hindsight this has been a good while coming

Alan Smith will score 3 goals this season.

He's a good coach

Hes no Ranger

You love it.

Have to say Swansea play some cracking stuff, and he hasn't had much dough to spend even relative to the level he is batting at. Its fair to say that the likes of Zog may scoff at being trained by a 'journeyman fizzy pop player/manager', but respect can very quickly be built up on actions by the person in the job. I've no doubt he would represent a worthwhile risk

I'm pretty sure that Man U blew a similar lead a couple of seasons later to Arsenal but nothing is made of it. We were only 12 points clear for 24 hours btw.

He has been my no 1 choice from the day KK left

You're probably right. I'm backing Tony Adams to get the best out of him. :lol: i meant its testament to your coach's the form of the like sof milner and knight. I know, I was just having a cheap dig at Tony Adams. I preferred him when he was on the sauce. he would probably be a better coach on it as well tbh. I reckon we may find out by the end of the season

Don't forget Boro and the sinking ship that is Hull City

Is it not just when he has started?

I doubt the 'point' of the 3 year scheme from the clubs point of view isn't to build a warchest for this summer and leave no cash for next etc. Its purely a way of guaranteeing an income stream for a longer period than the current one year season ticket

Taylor to break him

Manchester Evening News has us linked with Fernandez today, possibly as part ex with Shay

Looking forward to watching Villa. Only time I've watched them for 90 mins was against us when they were awful

Another way of looking at it is that everyone starts knowing nothing. Sure HE didnt have the "DOF" experience, but what expereince do you need in spotting good young players, Jiminez had the ocntacts, Vetere and Fucillo had the eye and Wise had the title to bring it all together. Also is worth mentioning that Wise was a memeber of the board. Does it matter if he signed Delph or not? He worked with a crop of young players and therefore has some degree of experience in spotting what attributes make promise into reality. So he made some bad buys. Fergie bought Taibi, Wenger bought Jeffers, Bobby bought Fumaca
