You underestimate the power of boring the opposition into submission

The Metro this morning seemed to think so too - can't give a link I'm afraid

We should not sell him - but neither should it be assumed that he will be an automatic starter. We should pick the man best suited to the game plan - whatever it may be.

Anything is POSSIBLE. The real question is - is it PROBABLE?

DOn't look then you won't get wound up.

Read above. "We walked away" presumably when people wanting a piece of the action started popping out of the woodwork. COrtese is not the type to tolerate that. I was fairly convinced that the deal was dead when I first heard that. I don't believe that Utd had anything to do with the deal failing - it was dead in the water anyway.

Cortese's priorities and approach are almost identical to Lowe's, the only real - but important- difference is that he has the financial resources behind him and has a better eye for a manager.

Are you sure?

He is bigoted idiot with the intellect and expressive abilities of a dog turd. Ignore him. Dooooh! I've fallen for it.

Substitute Southampton for City in your list of statements and last year you could have been talking about us versus some lower teams. That is the way that football is. Not all opportunities are converted and luck plays its part in all results. "IF this, that or the other had happened" is just speculation

I realise that you are being tongue in cheek but I don't think that Wigan will be easy to beat. They got caught flatfooted yesterday and I think that they will learn from that.

I don't think that anyone was really saying that it was our best performance ever - just that it was a performance the enjoyed a lot. I think that we were all apprehensive going into this and were pleasantly surprised at how well we did. The top half of the premiership has moved on since we were last here (I'm less convinced that the bottom half has) and we were not sure just how we would cope. The answer was - surprisingly well. But I agree - Wigan will be the real measure. They pass the ball about and did give Chelsea a hard game after conceding the two goals.

And that is almost what happened - pity it was only rescuing a draw though

Just a few little words - you pick the player according to the role you want them to play. Neither Lambert nor Sharp could do what Guly did today - they just don't have the energy levels..

Is this a Babelfish translation from Italian too?

... such as IveBeenASaintForManyYearsAndIShouldBeAModSaint

... and try signing the Champions League team of the season instead leading to huge success in a year and bankruptcy in two. That's the usual pattern isn't it?

Still think that?

It has always been my opinion that the people who want power are the very people who shouldn't have it - so its a "No" from me then

Congratulations - you have just out-pedanted MLG

These posts have passed me by. I really must spend more time on here.

I don't think that he was ever as good as he is made out to be.

Clearly Nigel and his team don't agree!
