And if everyone stopped reading those papers...........they wouldn't print stories like that

Its out....

May explain why hes not been his best lately, looked a shadow of his former self recently in my opinion.

They timed it quite well.... just after he had a good game for England aswell.

Build em up.........to knock em down  age old problem. The press love to do it because they know it sells. Not to me it don't  

That's coz you don't pay your paper bill


So Shreks been at it again has he?  Wonder if she was last months Saga pin up of the month

**Ponders typical western repressed sexuality** is it 'cos the journalists aren't getting any action?

They're too busy bugging peoples phones Joe - no time to surf for porn there

PMSL!! I don't buy papers to pay a paper bill for. Hello you

Hi veggie! I haven't backed 'em this year so they may win!

Hmmmm Joe I dunno really. I was full of optimism before last season and we all know how that turned out


It's the old problem of injuries that seem to do for us every year - and we've already started the trend this season with Nasri and RvP.
Brentford are having problems as well. it think their match is live on the Beeb website tomorrow so I may have a chance to see it.

£1k a night


Now thats kamikaze spending...

One feels that these papers are flooding the Market with stories of no consequence just to cover up their unlawful activities. It's about time that governing bodies ignored them. We've had a situation where Terry was messed about and now probably Rooney.

Capello has confirmed that Rooney will srill be in the team for Tuesday's match.

But if the story turns out to be true, football, loss of sponsorship, potential divorce could be the least of his problems. As the law now stands, any man who uses the services of a prostitute who pays a pimp can be charged with a criminal offence. This is the effect of the Policing and Crime Act 2009 which came into effect this January. The act refers to a prostitute subjected to force, bur is defined in such as way in such a way to make it effectively cover any prostitute who is forced into prostition by another. Ignorance of not knowing that the prostitute was forced is not regarded as a defence. The act was deliberately enacted in this way by the previous government with the specific intention of abolishing prostitution. (Well that's the idea and I'm sure that the world's oldest profession will be immediately stopped, and that all concerned will see the error of their ways and turn into law abiding citizens, and that the moon will after all turn out to be made out of cheese).

Lescott in for Dawson.





F*ck knows what Adam Johnson has to do to get a starting place

James

Just listening to the England game, SWP getting it in the ear from Alan Green,


Wasting cross after cross.

Bent makes it safe, hopefully.

Nice one Darren

I've no access to watch the game Pam, just listening to it on the BEEB.
Are you watching it ? .

Of course you know where he learnt his trade

It's on beside me RZB, while I'm frollicking about on here  You know, it's wrong that peeps aren't able to see their national teams on non terrestrial telly

Haha! I hope he doesn't haunt us when we play them

Sounds like Defoe could be out injured, had to hobble out of the game,
should of scored as well,


Argentina 3 up on Spain.

When it was on ITV on Friday, I channel hopped between that & BB.

Hart looked abit shakey at times tonight, as soon as he pissed that high ball up the whole team went into panic mode. Our defense looked alright, Barry is a good holding midfielder... but his tackles were piss. A.Johnson was brilliant as always, Milner looked alright aswell. We looked better when Rooney was on, hes good when playing behind Defoe who missed quite a few chances.

6 City players were on that pitch from 70+ onwards... well chuffed

Yes, he was taken to hospital, allthough they say that's precautionary. I hope he's not badly injured. We all have our likes and dislikes but no-one likes to see players badly injured

Pepe Reina






Muppet.

Good win. Switzerland had a bit of a dominant spell in the second half before Lichtsteiner was sent off but what a relief Bent finished the game off.


Hope Defoe and Walcott's injuries aren't that bad.

I will admit I was maybe expecting it to be 0-0.  Was pleasantly surprised.

Who the f*ck parks the bus against Blackburn at home? Seriously... its f*cking Blackburn FFS!


Home game and it looks like we played a formation of 4-6-0... idiotic manager with his piss defensive tactics. Can't see Mancini being around long to be honest, this is what got Hughes sacked... draws/losses against mid table sides.


What makes it even worse is that he will probably blame it all on injuries later in an interview.

Frustrating ain't they Meaty. We had that last season. Still least you wasn't 3-1 up 

Thanks for finding the thread Meat and Potato.  Apart from the expected defeat for the 'Boro, I had a good day. Got six teams out of seven up.  Darlo won 3-0,  Hannover and Hamburg are in the top three, and those cheating Bavarians are near the relegation zone.

So lets get this straight...
Man City spend all summer spending loads of cash, hacking everyone off in their attempt to find the perfect team and yet they still can't win a match..

How bizarre... one might say poetic justice of course.

I'm wondering what the hell happened to us! Someone just sent me a text to say we lost

It could of been worse for you to be honest, Jagielka was just about to square it to finish 4-3 and the ref blew the whistle Moyes went beserk

We can win a match... the problem is we are inconsistant.

Well with respect shouldn't you be trouncing the rest of the opposition? I mean you have only won one game ... just goes to show money does not a good team make..

Something tells me he may be in trouble with the FA.

Having good players doesnt make a good team... it may look good on paper, but when you watch them on the field it is very different. Out of the 6 signings, 3 of them are injured. Two of them being vital to our defense. Won one league game out of 4... a draw against tottenham away which is probably the game where we expected to come out with no points. And a 3-0 win against Liverpool, we have the potential to go a long way... unfortunatly most of players hardly know each other and they want time that we really don't have to gel.

Sorry Meaty, but I agree with you. Team spirit is such a crucial element of a winning and I don't know if you will agree with me here, but it seems as if you have too many players that isn't allowing for that to happen. Sadly a lot of players won't get a chance to prove themselves.
