Rozenhal was abysmal today. Either he spends the week training how to play right back or play Edgar there on Sat... And why cant get stick his foot out in a 50-50. Fucking fairy. 2nd half was shambles, the midfield was all over the place.

Carrol on the bench before Shola. Thats a : "Get out the club" if I ever saw one ! Lua Lua & Edgar on the bench as well. No MIlner, Beye, Emre in the squad. Only downside is Taylor will be right back and Rozy CB. Which worries me slightly as I think they are going to physical. Oh and Alan Fucking Smith is playing midfield. Of course. he could be playing his 4-5-1 bollocks...

You'd think, wouldnt you !!!

I thought the first one was an absolute turkey of a film. I didn't think it was that bad. A poor mans Indiana Jones mixed with the Da Vinci Code. The best way I could describe it would be inoffensive!

Because if he blows £30 million on shit then gets the sack at the end of the season (which in my opinion is looking likely) then, well, we'll have £30m pounds worth of shit footballers the next manager probably wont fancy. Yes. And with City and Villa both having made formal moves for Martins, imagine what a tit Sam will look if Oba starts scoring again once he's played as a central striker. You know it will happen as well.

Agreed. Hopefully, he can turn it around though im dubious his philosophies will get us where we ultimately all want to be.

If we played "carpet" football under Keegan/Robson then I guess we could call our current style "sky".....

What concert was it?

I wonder what sort of crowd reaction he will get from us???

He would've signed by now if he wanted to stay there. If they get a CB, they will let him go. True but I don't think Newcastle is on his escape map, do you? Depends how much we'll pay him .....

I'm giving him a chance and i'll be interested how things develop. Cant see him eventually turning us into a top 4 team - which ultimately we should be aiming for.

My mate used to do it. Apparently Saturday night is the best time to work as you get paid per question answered. YOu have to do a test before they give you a job mind.

I'd have major concerns about his injury record and you know what we're like....

Not much of a plan if that is his goal to be honest.

I would have rather stuck by Roeder than Sam.

What are you defending Sam for then? That's all this season is about for Sam, lowering expectations. He's doing a good job of that. Who would have thought at the start of season we would not hold much hope of getting anything out of Man City at HOME!?!!?

What are you defending Sam for then?

Where do you expect us to be in 5 years if this plan is to be believed? Has anyone at the club actually stated this? - Champions league participants? - A cup in the bag and top 6 finishes? - Premiership contenders? - Champions league contenders?

Not THAT bad, but canny shite. What I found incredicle was the cavalcade of international crew members that were knocked off one by one to leave only the white crew for the final reel. Was that intentional? Was it meant to be taking the piss out of the B-movie convention? Because it was otherwise very earnest. Otherwise I thought it was acceptable until the unknown crew mwmber arrived and it went drastically down hill in terms of creditability as well as story telling which became as confused as hell. I dont think it was that deep. Just not a very good movie in my opinion.

Agreed. You're both shitting me. I agree about Roeder being better than Souness in the similar time frames they were in, but Roeder couldn't motivate a bunch of rapists in a dark ladies changing-room. Remember the 2nd leg of the AZ match? Shit, getting that West-Ham team relegated and if it wasn't for Oba and Sibierski we would have gone down last season =/ The team look well motivated now don't they??? And XXXL Sam has a better squad. You're forgetting Roeder turned around a shite Souness team and got us Europe. Thats at least one good thing. Sam has not impressed me one bit so far. Horrible style of play. Defensively shocking despite not attacking at all. Players out of position. Flopped BIG name signings (although you could argue Duff for Roeder as well )

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjHXkOEx_Ao that was actually a lovely team goal. Spread the ball well. One-twos. A bit of wing wizardy. BOSH!

Its certainly something that can be worked on in training though. I have no reason to believe he cant improve his game as he gets older.

I think there is a fine line between a player being good or bad. Helps when you play in a good team and to the personnels strengths though.

Krul got sent off yesterday, didnt he?
