Thought Fox looked ok both against City and previously against United. At Old Trafford they certainly had a plan to go after our left side to which he stood scrutiny. I think Shaw will be an outstanding player and clearly our number one, Fox is adequate backup on recent showings.

One assumes Yoshida played Wednesday, Toure last game on Sunday. And you are right about that Joburg flight, I felt slightly tired after doing that overnight and then a full days work the next day!

One for trivia fans. I believe that we won the last ever Umbro vs Umbro match in the top flight.

i think it is hindsight thread, let's choose another day to debate.

Thought he did ok, quick ball to Lambert set up the second. Shaw will play when not injured, so not overly bothered.

Glad to see Shearer recognising our positive performance.

Their first victory in 3 months.

Hi Nicola

But should have had one first game against City.

I think the last touch was of Toure's hand to be fair!

He bottled it, end of.

Christ, we win against the champions and this renders every opinion over the last 6 months incorrect. FWIW I still believe there have been certain games this year where Sharp would have been a useful addition from the bench. The fact we wiped the arses of the champions today does not change my view.

Bad times, remember it being like the air had been sucked out of the stadium.

If you will befriend fish.

Stonewall.

The dangers of quoting people out of the context

Many clubs go with the 'by Mutual Agreement', it costs the same and means both parties can 'Exit with Honour', Cortese would see that as an act of weakness. I have no problems with tough decisions, just a lack of class.

beg to differ, anyway - The King is dead, long live the King

and this is my point, it may well have been a correct decision, however it was acted out in an abysmal way. i work for a major international company, we have senior level exits from time to time - never have I witnessed such a disgusting lack of respect.

I am not really over how he was treated, no.

Hooiveld has played ok. His distribution is ****e in comparison to others, but he has recovered from his early season shambles.

A thought for Nigel, he deserved a night like this. Being the bloke he is he is probably pleased for MP and the lads.

We beat the Champions of England and the Skates lose their new derby. WTFILN?

Written off after 2 games, now you'd fear if he doesn't play.
