Paully

An absolute class act

Just been chopped by Paddy!

Timing, he forced a move mid season. Sure he gave us years of good service but the club had certainly played a part in helping him make his reputation. That was his last real chance of a big move though. None of the other clubs needed him, City had the money and were in the opening stages of where they are now. If they'd not signed Given that January, they'd have either just signed someone else or wait until the January until they were in a position to sign someone better. If he'd cracked on for another 4 months and played to form (such as that horrendous 1-5, never forgotten) he'd have had no problems getting a lucrative move. I'll be honest here - I think player loyalty is a concept that went out the window years ago. I know why it happens and I have some sympathy with players that work the system, but I'll never think too fondly of them. Who to though? The other top clubs in this country were sorted in goal, and Man City would have bought someone better in the summer when they had more time and availability to sign someone. He went to City as a squad player, and then to Villa as a squad player....The clubs he went to had better options. He chased the pound, fair enough, you only get one go at it. I just think he could have handled his exit better and still have got what he wanted. He went to City and Villa as a squad player?! Eh?!

Same back 4 by this imo “Mike Williamson will play on Saturday, 100%. “He’s had his chance, and he’s grasped it. “It’s a position where if you are winning games, it’s difficult to change the team.”

3 years ago today - that wonderful day

Rumours he is set to be appointed as the new chief executive at Rangers If true, hopefully Ashley is nearing a sale of us and has made up with him

Totally agree mate. Some of the abuse on this thread is utterly embarrassing

I'm sure he DJs in Newcastle now and again - what a tit!

Rumours that Saylor has done his hammy!

There are some unbelievable comments about Colo these past few days! The fickleness shown at times towards our players is ridiculous

It was a wind up!

What an utter joke! Kick It Out campaigners demanded an investigation into Hodgson’s comments. Chairman Lord Herman Ouseley said: ‘That matter has been raised by the chair with the FA, who acknowledges the apology made by Roy Hodgson and now seeks an investigation to ascertain the full facts and ensure a similar situation does not arise again.’ Society of Black Lawyers chairman Peter Herbert added: ‘We will be putting in a formal complaint and would like a transcript of what investigation took place.’ Race for Sport has sent a formal letter of complaint to Football Association chairman Greg Dyke over Roy Hodgson's 'feed the monkey' team talk during half-time of the World Cup qualifier against Poland. Hodgson urged Chris Smalling to pass the ball to Andros Townsend as often as possible, making use of a joke originating from American space agency NASA during the period they sent monkeys into space. Townsend confirmed on Thursday he had taken no offence at the comment, and said the story was not even newsworthy, but it has been reported one England player was shocked by the joke, believing it to have racial connotations. The FA was quick support Hodgson and he expressed his anger over claims he had offended anyone, rejecting any suggestion of racism, but Race for Sport and Kick-It Out called for a full investigation after the story broke and RFS have taken their complaint further. Their letter to Dyke read: "Race for Sport seeks to highlight the fundamental human right of those in football not to be subject to degrading or humiliating treatment. We are therefore compelled to challenge hate crime and racism in the United Kingdom and abroad. "It is therefore right that we urge you to act upon the recent comments made by the England manager Roy Hodgson to players Andros Townsend and Chris Smalling. Your investigation should therefore not just be limited to the players in the dressing room at the material time but what offence it caused outside to our communities. "To announce that the matter is "closed" without any action being taken against the England manager is unacceptable and wholly inconsistent with your policies on equality and diversity. "For Mr Hodgson or anyone else to make an apology if they fail to understand why the words used were offensive or potentially so is not the response of an institution with the resources and profile of the FA. "The willingness of those in football to close ranks and pretend that this was of little or no consequence is reflective of a failure to understand the damage that this type of comment causes whatever the so called "context". "A proper investigation independent of those in the FA is now required to identify what actually occurred. "RFS urges the FA to implement a mandatory 'race appreciation' training and 'cultural capital and cultural intelligence' training for Roy Hodgson and all managers in the Premier League, Championship. "We respectfully request that you provide us with a formal response specific complaint within 14 days and further that you supply a copy of your policy and procedures for dealing with such complaints of racism to this compliant. We look forward to hearing from you."

"Since I've been here, I like to think I've set teams up to play an attractive style of football and win games on the front foot"

Kamara was absolutely raving about his performance on G.O.S the day after Cardiff. He's the best CH on our books by a long way and I don't understand why some see him now as an "easy mark for strikers". We would be in The Championship if he had not of returned towards the end of last season.

The Oktoberfest at the Uni? Apparently it's been cancelled :-(
