  1. Set pieces (corners in particular) are generally overrated as goalscoring opportunities. It is amazing how many sets of fans will say that their team is terrible at them. I think the way inwhich they are built up compared to how often goals come from them there is a huge disparity - across the sport as a whole - which leads to people thinking their side are shit at them. That said I do think we are particularly poor, both in our execution and the players we have that are dangerous from them. May as well just go short rather than spunk them away. I can't stand the long floated free-kick towards the keeper in particular.
  2. Fair enough on 10/11. His one good season for the club.
  3. Few times now I've seen him mention bringing us back up. A freekick at Peterborough and nice pass at Plymouth is the total amount of his contribution that season.
  4. City signed Maicon? Wtf. Surely Micah Richards will leave now.

    Didn't see the game tonight but I'm firmly in the 'don't rate at all' camp. Not sure what he's supposed to be at all good at.
  6. Cheers for the excellent, serious responses. Can always count on NO.
  7. Are the channels mentioned on .com definitely the only ones carrying this?
  8. Went to Valencia - Depor on Sunday night. Thoroughly enjoyed both the match and the whole experience. The general atmosphere at La Liga games is considerably more laid back from what I've seen (3 games now) than football in England. More subdued in terms of support and more of a social occasion. The Valencia 'ultras' were brill mind, plenty noise and banners etc. Seemed to be lots of protesting about the 11pm kick off time and a fair few anti-Madrid/Barca chants. Valencia were excellent first half but barely turned up in the second and allowed an average Depor side to dominate. Great standard of football (ignoring some shoddy defending and lacklustre off the ball stuff) though and probably a fair result.
  9. It was a pen and naive from Anita because Torres was already on the way over.

    First thing they talk about after signing players is how they will do in the derby
