I remember Chris Holland. Saw him score against City this one time if memory serves.

I'd have Nedum Onuoha in there ahead of Taylor. Milner ahead of Whittingham, not sure who I would bump left between him and Bentley - Probably Milner. Wouldn't go near Cattermole. Johnson or Noble, not sure. I'd also replace Stuart Pearce with a corner flag.

Sam-son and De- Shola Ameobi's new agent arranges perfectly legitimate move to Bournemouth

just because citiy are a small club Actually, according to popular opinion, we're "massive". Well, according to every halfwit who gets on the radio bleating about us - and pisstaking rivals. Don't see the point myself.

Hmm...Is this because of that Rooney dealie last year? Didn't he get sent off for nowt and the dutch ref refused to overturn it so he served a 3 game ban? Could be the tournament isn't as big a draw as it used to be if clubs are scared of having their players banned if the games are gonna be reffed by a bunch of little Hitlers.

Hmm...it does appear that Phil Gartside is almost as bitter as I am? PS: Don't go in for all these "big club" pissing contests. To me its just ways for fans of clubs who do fuck all to argue over who is better. Completely pointless. Got totally sick of all this shite talking about a certain other football club who have won nowt in years but still have a big crowd. The term "big club" and derivatives should be stricken from the football vocabulary post-haste IMO.

Dave Whelan is the answer to the question nobody asked. He has an opinion on absolutely everything, even stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with Wigan. No suprise that he wont shut his gob when something that actually affects him is in the news. Even if he was right on this issue (Which he isn't), got to wonder why he's in the papers asking to see the paperwork instead of asking WH or the FA? I think its probably because he's an over-opinionated egotistical twat. Can't wait to see the back of him and his shitty little league one outfit. Come on Colin, do us all a favour on Sunday

I mean, how that idea didn't go out of the window as soon as they got a sniff of the Manure teamsheet....Jeebus

A team of Spider-men ? I WANT IT NOW. I can be wearing a sports top AND be spiderman. I think I could die after wearing that. NAY! while wearing that. Woah... Is that really...real? http://www.obsport.ie/clubdetails/clubinfo.asp?id=1

I don't believe I've ever seen a more retarded thing on a football field than Chelsea giving a guard of honour to Darren Fletcher, Chris Eagles, "Lee", whoever the fuck that is, Tomas Kzucak and Dong Fan fucking Zhou. I mean, seriously, what the hell were they thinking?

Almost as bad as this belter: http://www.obsport.ie/rugby/bective/jersey_comp.gif Ya...its not new, and its from an Irish rugby side...but any excuse to post it...

Here is an account of what happened from Djamel Abdoun. Young lad we've got in on loan from Ajaccio to see if he has it to play in the premiership, not made much of an impact on the first team but interesting to see what an outsider on the inside made of the Barton incident, as well as the depths of the problems in the City dressing room, one of many reasons Stuart Pearce should be sacked immediately. Doesn't paint a pretty picture of Barton. Never the less Willie McKay has been on the radio saying he has "7 or 8" interested parties. Staggered that anyone inside the game who knows what he is like would want him, unless all the managers taking a look have the ego to believe they can change him.

Not being funny like, but Barton is pretty much average imo. Well, depends what you're comparing him too. Very much average compared to Gerrard and co, and can in no way be considered a great player, but he's better than Sidwell, Phil Chuckle, Parker and co IMO - by the virtue of knowing where the net is and having the legs to get up there even in a turgid ultra defensive team like ours.

I wouldn't. I like Berbatov and wouldn't like to have to change my opinion to that he's shite just cos...you know. Its the rules. I'd like to see him play for Barcelona.

Gattuso coming the other way? Pfft, no chance. I do have standards you know. Kaka or they can forget it PS: I'm not sure the Dyer/Barton comparison is valid. While they are both flawed - Barton more so IMO, Dyer provides zero value for money, and Barton is a good player.

One user on a City forum is adamant he's going to Sunderland. Altho there might be a spaner in the works of that deal, yesterday TribalFootball reported AC Milan had been alerted to his availability

Suprised. Was convinced they were staying up not so long ago. Pardew really seemed to have them ticking (Didn't they get out of the bottom 3 at one point?) while West Ham were going nowhere...not really responded to the pressure by their up turn. Ah well, I didn't have any money and it so I can't say I'm dissapointed to see the back of them, they deserve to go down after they fucked around with Les Reed and all that. Then again, Wigan deserve to go down for being Wigan, Watford deserve to go down for being shite and West Ham deserve to go down for leaving Tevez on the bench for half the season. BTW, On the subject of "Who would you have?", if the next time I log onto a City forum, someone thinks we should sign Hermann Heraidarsson, I won't be held responsible for my actions.

The idea that a fan of a team who's last honour was the '58 FA Cup could take the piss out of anyone for not winning trophies recently...?

Cracking little shout that mind. Aye, it was Allardyce who brought him to English football iirc. Colin Todd brought Gudjohnsen to Bolton in 98. Todd resigned in the early part of the 99/00 season after Per Frandsen was sold to Blackburn. Allardyce replaced him and worked with Gudjohnsen for 3/4 of season before he left to sign for Chelsea, during which time he was excellent. I don't think he'd say no.

Good luck to him.

Out of order.

Well, obviously. Serves the cunt right for going down so easily, maybe if he stayed on his feet once in a while people might not stand on him Btw, Any attempts to take the moral high-ground on this issue are doomed to failure as far as I'm concerned. He'll get his ban, Ronaldo recovered in no-time, it wasn't that serious. Funny tho.

Premiership?! No. 10 home goals is the worst total in the entire 119 year history of top flight football. We deserve it too. Have to blame Pearce's safety first aproach, even after we're safe, and even in the derby. 4 5 fucking 1, jeezus. I don't know why he even bothers the 1, whatever mug he puts out up there never gets a kick while the rest of the team is holding hands with the goalie. I live in the hope that after today, Pearce will never darken our doors again.

Is it just me or is this re-sale idea dodgy as fook? Is it legal?

Whatever happened to him...? :parky: Not sure if he's got a hand in anyone else good's development that has come to light since this article was written?
