Did Pardew get him out I wonder?

I really don't care that there could be a more cynical reason for him going I'm just delighted he'd gone hopefully for good this time. Automatically things are that bit better without him

thats a damn good question

an actual central midfielder would have been a start

now here's the question, whats ashley planning next? Llambias to return?

like he had any effect on running the club beyond "fuck you cunts"

PRAISE THE LORD!

they've been trying to paint themselves in that corner even talking of FFP and how City aren't complying with it-ignoring the 10 years of abramovich putting in around 1 billion pounds I know, bit barmy, but ended up going for them - quite comfortable countering in the end tonight, I thought. Personally I think Fernandinhio was a huge miss and replacing him with Demachelis was mad.

Oscars puts in a lot of tackles a lot more than someone in his position normally does

how did he do that ? IIRC went to Abu Dhabi or Dubai and rather than attending the proposed meeting him and Dekka went on the lash. didn't that trip to Abu Dhabi or Dubai take place after City got taken over? They definitely went there after the Keegan fiasco Yeah you could be right, he definitely declined City's owner's though before they bought the. I'd assume the Keegan fiasco trip was to meet people with a similar wealth I'm not sure he did or at least I don't recall any press reports of such and lord knows they'd take the chance to repeatedly ram it down our throats every single time we play city that we missed out on that. He went out there alright looking for that kind of person and didn't find any willing to buy the club iirc

still can't stand him

Ben Arfa has less than half of Hazard's ability. That's not true whatsoever, he might not have the same drive, confidence and workrate, but he clearly doesn't have less than his footballing abilities ffs. can't agree, HBA has a lot of natural talent but Hazard has a hell of a lot more imho

Eventually it reaches a point where you take a decision he won't turn it around and you try to get rid of a player. I wouldn't in the slightest bit bothered about selling him because he offers the sum total of sweet fuck all at the moment and for this entire season and he can't keep getting away with the logic of keeping him because he had a good 6 months when theres a diabolical 18 months that show his major faults as a player. And he can't hide behind oh but we're not creating chances blah blah blah because we have been creating chances this season, other players have been scoring goals why can't he?

all about surrounding yourself with people you trust

why in gods name is Pelegrini playing Demachelis in midfield, he has one on the bench!

they'd find a way

Heard that- sick of John Anderson making excuses for the c***s in charge. Aye, it's always 'well what do people want', 'we are 8th' etc. that c*** presenting said 'if they beat Chelsea it'll all be forgotten'. Absolute tosser. Seriously think he's defending the club so he doesn't get banned from it. i.e. out of a job It's baffling. Unless they just live in their own little clouds tucked up in the studio and have no real clue as to how fans feel. most media live in their own little cloud which is why Ashley will never get that much heat from the general media, sure the guys who work local might say something but other than Caulkin lets say my opinion isn't high of them. The rest of the media will not care about Ashley not trying to compete because from their point of view we have no right to compete with those sides and we should just be proud to be allowed to even bask in their presence.

why put a (not very good) cb in there instead of an actual midfielder in Rodwell

if it happens it will be accepted no doubt there

Not at all, he's always claimed it was him and 2 others. its just the closest he's gotten to putting blame at Ashleys and Kinnears door

interesting line
