How the hell can you say that? You have absolutely no idea what Ashley is thinking, that's just Mail-esque speculation.

Veiled 'Duff is shit, please don't play him anymore' news item.

Fucking shocking tackle, clueless thug.

Yeah just came up on my Tiger Woods 2009 Legend, hope he carries on for a few more years yet!

Scored tonight for Argentina

I really did think we were gonna get O'Neill when we appointed Souness. In the history of shocking decisions, if we didn't try every trick in the book to get him that has to be one of the worst. Fair play to Villa and good luck to them for the rest of the season.

In the starting XI for the reserves alongside Cacapa and Smith. Ranger has dropped down to the bench. With away clearly Houghtons having a fiddle!

Peacock was a very underrated defender, always thought he was a good player personally. Awesome hair as well. :colo:

.co.uk saying it was Donaldson sent off...

What about Alnwick, Spear and Ranger?

Get Le Sib in!

Two made up £8m bids rejected. Thanks

Fair play for the charity donation - clearly the best bit of advice his scumbag agent has ever given him.

No chance Ashley sent that. More likely he got Kinnear or Wise to type it out

Johnson's been crocked all season, only played three games and is a rumoured piss head. A quality player no doubt, but an injury prone player with issues is the last thing we need with 'man manager' Kinnear.

Bollocks. The lad got paid an awful lot of money to play for our club. If he had left in the summer then people would have accepted that. To ask for a transfer in mid-season and not have the bottle to stick around to help us stay up is just crap. Delude yourself all you want, but Shay has gone down in my estimations. Yeah would have been a great idea to leave the club just as Keegan's come in and potentially turned things around for the better. How was he to know Kev would quit and mid-season we'd be managed by Joe fucking Kinnear?!

Some people on this forum should be ashamed of themselves. A great servant for the club and I'll 100% wish him the best at City. Incredibly loyal, really could have left us anytime in the last four or five years and we'd have no complaints whatsoever. He could have come out and the said "the club is a joke and I want to leave" and I'd still have utmost respect for him. Absolute legend for us and really doesn't surprise me that some of our fans are giving him grief as our fans are as bad as our board and management. Stupid.

Thought he did alright today. Was badly positioned for their goal and was let down by a shocking header from Butt which almost putt Chopra in, but other than that was relatively solid and used the ball well.

Harper - 6 Taylor - 7 Bassong - 8 Colo - 6 Enrique - 8 Duff - 5 Butt - 4 Nolan - 5 Jonas - 8 Carroll - 6 Ameobi - 4

The amount of times he tried to play it short and Shola just looked at the ball instead of coming to it was embarrassing. We get two half decent strikers with movement or a CM that actually supports the attacks then you'll see just how good Jonas can be. Think this 'no final ball, he can't cross etc' is just ridiculous.

JFK's people skills strike me as fantastic. Somehow it seems the whole 'how to coach a foreign player' seems to have slipped him by. Zoggy, Xisco and leaving Jonas on the bench strike me as Xenophobic!

£4.5?! Megson really is a Ginger Mourinho!

Shearer's even more likely to pick the Butt, Smith, Geremi's and Duffs of our team. 'Experience matters in a relegation battle' they all say. Like Butt has ever played in a relegation battle before?! Sheesh. Just wish WISH we'd got O'Neill when we appointed that cunt Souness.

Not the same player as a few years back. Not to long ago Bolton fans were giving him grief for being overweight. Problem with signing players for a relegation battle is you wake up next season and the player is still there.

When are we allowed to say he's not been good enough? When he's gone in the summer having been relegated as the most expensive defender in the club's history? The lad needs a season in a normally funtioning team, not this shower of s****. Who was the last defender a club paid £10m for who needed 12 months to settle in? His weaknesses, being getting turned, physical weakness & appalling defending when forwards are attacking the ball into the box, aren't anything that will be fixed by having time to settle. He needs to start looking like a good defender now. Errr...Vidic?
