Cue the fest over caroll I suspect! I wish he played for us! I told you he would be interesting this season! I hate to say this as a Barcode hater, but I hope that he goes from strength to strength even agains the novelty teams.

Was hoping to win but a draw isn't bad, at least we didn't lose.


GJ i'm confident Boro will go straight back up.. especially with the firepower of Kris Boyd!.

"I'd say I have only been on what I would call decent money in the last year or so"


How arrogant...



They never learn, avoid discussing footballers wages

Need knocking down a peg or two.


Ouch I read his interview slagging off City in my local paper last week too Meaty.

Wrong on both counts I fancy 

.......... Meanwhile wins for the 'Boro, St. Pauli, and the 69ers, it doesn't get much better than that....... And probably it willn't.

As a license payer and a big fan of the BBC,can I ask why they are spending so much time chasing after SAF to appear on the tellybox? Don't bother on my account!

and why now??

Its not like he's banned all United staff from talking to them...its just him that won't.

Because Premier League teams are given a slice of the telly revenue - and one of the conditions of them getting it is, managers MUST talk to the sports shows. Bacon-face is breaking the contract, and if he won't talk to the Beeb, Man Utd should forfeit some of the money.

No! I think that they should let them keep the cash providing we don't have to listen to his opinions. This also applies to the others.

Afternoon Footy Folk, First game of the season for me tomorrow
at WHL, having just watched the first leg, so much for being drawn against
a weak side  we were rubbish,

 Hi RZB, hope you had a good holiday. You'll finish those Young Boys off at WHL 

Ooh yes the CL qualifiers, i've got my fingers crossed Sevilla make it.. I didn't see the Spurs match RZB I had a debate with my cousin before whether you guys would make it to the group stages, I said I was hopeful but he said that you guys had no chance.


Ha Ha Doncaster chairman not happy that Manchester City let Craig Bellamy go to Cardiff on loan,

Hopefully wins for Darlo, Boro, and Bremen.

Cheers Monkey, fantastic hols,



Not caught any footy highlights , just heard results, some of which have been bizarre, Wheels seem to have fallen off a Villa Park, What's happened there,   


Them young boys seem to give us one hell of a  game,  thank god I didn't watch it live, going
3-0 , need to get if right tomorrow.

Hi Joe & Darlo,  I thought Bellamy was WHL bound when I went out, mind you also Jenas Keane & Bentley will Villa bound,  Why do I every believe this stuff.

Losing their manager and few important players seems to have really unsettled them. I could not believe the score line when I saw it.

Are the rumours about Crouchy true? He's off to another club.

Hi RZB and Monkey

It's getting harder now whether to believe or not believe rumours.


Didn't like the look of the pitch there RZB from the pics I saw after in the papers.

Who knows, We've still got 4 forwards, so I wouldn't be suprised if one if off loaded.
Not sure what the Gallas story was all about, Did he actually sign for Spurs in the end.

Yes RZB Gallas signed. Don't think Crouch will go tbh, he's feeling the pressure of doing the dirty on Abi Clancy thats all...

Just popped onto the Spurs site, and seen him holding the shirt, A weird one, the signing that is, Also Modric out for tomorrow's game.


Bebatov under fire by United fans I hear Darlo...

I didn't read into any of that story,
As they are not married, wouldn't she be better just moving on. Why hang around.

As usual, I reckon he's done better recently.

Why is it so difficult to watch premiership highlights on you tube these day,
It takes you through about 6 different websites,

Some top stuff last night, looked at the team and thought it looked pretty defensive... Barry and Yaya got forward quite alot though. Hart was just unbeatable, some cracking saves made again so I think Given will certainly be off around January. The Sheikh attended his first game so it looked like they had a kick up the arse before the game. Great tackles from Kompany, Yaya, De Jong and Barry. A.Johnson and Barry prob had the best games they ever played in a City shirt. Milner was top aswell. Set up Barry for the first goal (bit of a kick in the bollox to villa in mind). Even Lescott looked decent

Great performance all around, I can't fault any player... if we can get Kolarov, Balotelli, Boateng back to full fitness we are in business.

----------------------Hart--------------------

Richards--K.Toure--Kompany--Lescott

--------------------De Jong-----------------
----------Barry------------------Y.Toure-------

A.Johnson---------Tevez----------Milner


Subs: Given, Wright-Phillips, Silva, Adebayor, Vieira, Zabaleta and Jo

Not sure whats going on with Robinho... I assume the club are trying to offload him.

I remember after the world cup the club came under quite alot of fire from talksh*te that its partly citys fault for Englands failure for bringing in foreign players. Last night we had 4 England first team players. You could also count Richards and Lescott as they are English players.

As for Doncasters chairmen.... if he wants someone to blame for Bellamys departure to a championship club then blame Fifa and their 25 man squad rule. Had it not been for that he would still be with us now.

Spurs nearly eging towards the Champions League group stages

Champions League draw

Thanks very much Mr Pie. One had to switch over to watch Neighbours

now the hard work really start, but getting into the group stage is just reward
for last season 4th place finish. Anything else now is a bonus.

City v Juventus







Lets f*cking av em.

is this the group stage, one more round before the group stage ? I can't see City having a problem against Juventus, Since they got kicked out of the top division in Italy, they not got back to their old status.

I see the draws being done now, dohhhhhhhhh. Why have these draws turned into smething like the Eurovision song contest.

I hope City beat Juventus.


Spurs after Ashley Young, must be tempting to play CL football however he seems happy in Brum so hope he stays put...


Oh no Baggies looks like will miss out on the signing of Marc Wilson.

wouldn't he be cup tied, I'm never sure how it all works these days,  I didn't think he did much last night, He'll cost a few £££, and unless a player goes between now and Tuesday, I'm not sure where the cash will come from.

This must be one of the quietest tranfer windows on record.

Looks as if he will go to Stoke, oh well plenty of fish in the sea.. I did think Portsmouth were desperate for money, but if he thinks he will fit in at Stoke, good luck to him.

Anfield on Sunday.  Not looking forward to this one, we recently have had a terrible record against Liverpool and even a draw would be an amazing result for us.

RZB, hope you had a good holiday and enjoyed seeing Spurs earlier on in the week.  I went to Leyton Orient on Tuesday, good match and some very good performances from players, Orient played well as well and gave us a good game.

Still time to try and sign someone else..It will be a miracle if the Baggies get anything out of the game PB.

I did thanks Pinky, shame I  couldn't bring back any sun in my case,  WHL was magical on Wednesday night, I was just happy we didn't blow all last season hard work,  good luck on Sunday, You couldn't do n worse than we do up there, We just roll over year after year. You must be happy with the Sunderland win. I think it's going to be harder in the Premiership this season, I can't see team staying up on low 30 points mark  like the last 2 seaaons.

Good result 0-2 away,
