Possibly, although it does seem like the Ferdinand sale was perhaps forced on him. Still annoys me.

Nah, it's still technically 6 goals.

It's incredible how much more tight the league was back then btw, bit depressing how 2 or 3 teams break away now and are miles ahead of the rest.

Complete rubbish. It was only a late run at the end of the season that got us into 2nd and in Keegan's last 2 league games we had just beaten Spurs 7-1 and Leeds 3-0. We were also 4th when he left. Both managers played their part that season, with Keegan's squad. http://www.statto.com/football/stats/england/premier-league/1996-1997/table/1997-01-01

ITV advertising the Wolves-Birmingham replay as "Another epic Midlands derby".

I think they did fine considering it was their first year in it and the quality of their group. League was always going to be more important for them this year.

It does appear so.

Wiki reckons 11 in Championship season, 9 last season and 1 this. He's never scored more than 9 Premier League goals in a season for us, next best 7, next best 6.

Also it was another one of the old board's daft decisions to get rid of him after 2 games of the season FFS, awful timing.

The only positive thing i can think of regarding Dalglish is that he bought Given.... Thats it. Signed Solano, Speed & Dabizas; guided us to a 2nd place finish in his first half season; got us to an FA Cup final; 3-2 win versus Barcelona. Agree most signings and performances were very poor, though I wonder what we might have achieved with Tomasson playing off Shearer.

Creeps.

Aye well I wish he would just shut the fuck up about it, I think the message he's sending out does more harm than good.

Haha, I presumed you were joking Nixon.

Or maybe he has the realistic view that if a high offer comes in for any of our players the board are likely to take it? God forbid we do sell anyone other than Smith, i'd hope it would be earlier rather than later in the window. Well clearly, but the other clubs have no reason to heed his warning, therefore I'd rather he didn't repeatedly advertise the availability of our best players.

Would be an appalling decision given the players available.

Oh great, he's reiterating his "you're more than welcome to take our best players but get in there quickly" thing.

When's the poor Tunisian bloke's funeral anyway?

If we end up not getting him will the thread title be changed from"Ravel Morrison - worth a punt?" to "Ravel Morrison - what a cunt" ?

People laughed at the concept last time but I do hope we're still looking at other deals and not focussing all of our efforts on this. If it's a quick deal that might end up a bargain then fair enough I'm happy for us to go for it, but we have far bigger concerns at the minute surely.

Total arseholes.

Completely agree, I've recently wondered why trying but failing to beat a man invokes groans in the crowd, yet long ball after aimless long ball goes largely uncommented on. It's the same end result, i.e. trying something but giving the ball away. We need to mix it up and do a bit of both of course.

What's with Ravel's spelling of 'their' as 'theRe' - he does it twice.

Fucking hell man, Cabaye. No idea.

That footage, bloody hell.

He doesn't seem to lack confidence like, most 18 year olds at Man Utd would be happy to go with the flow and see where it takes them.
