That it’s always been their biggest game and rivalry is a bigger lie, as anyone with any meaningful knowledge on the subject would attest to. Prior to the mid-70’s, it wasn’t a particularly important fixture, certainly less so than the Derby. I would say the 1977 FA Cup Final was the turning point.
 
The common denominator here of course being Maureen. Great players, good players, and even so-so players suddenly become dreadful under his tutelage. Lukaku is not and never will be a top player: he'd have been far better off under Pulis or Fat Sam because they would use him for what he does do - become a battering ram.
Up until recently Sanchez was scoring for fun. He seemed to be enjoying his football, he was expressing himself and both making and taking chances. But predictably enough, Maureen wants him to shore up the defence.

It's an absolute litany of player failing at the swamp, but it's not because they have bad players (aside from a couple I can immediately think of), it's down to bad management.

I love going on Rag Cafe. It is highly entertaining and I sometimes genuinely laugh out loud.whether it’s calling Pep a fraud or taking the piss out of Sterling saying he runs like he is carrying an invisible handbag. We evenhad a poster on early December saying the rags would be 12 points clear by Christmas. There are still dillusionals postings saying they are not going to drop any further points this season and pip us to the title. One even posted and said we would be lucky to make top 4.

Let's be honest, they wouldn't have gone near him if it wasn't for our interest. Same with Jose if we hadn't got Pep. It was nothing but dick waving from their board that seems to be backfiring. All that money on wages was never going to end well, especially when you've got players with an ego like Carlton Pogba in your ranks. The desperation to stick one on us is slowly killing them lol.

Good!! It was let’s get one over us statement not a footballing statement unless it was just to stop us getting him because they know Pep would do his magic and make him even a better player.

I do think it was opportunist, and when City dropped out, they were surprised by it but couldn't lose face at that point. The agent then milked them properly.

Thats no way to run a business is it?

Thing that warms my heart is that Sanchez is already about £2m to the good on his rag contract and they have seen very little return - whereas those who could have been his colleague have picked up their first winners medals already this season. He may want to reflect on that and how his career going forward is likely to be most notable due to its absence of trophies - making history not money at rag central you see?

I like the bit that refers to breaking the rigid wage structure. Is this the structure that didnt count in the case of Rughead and doesn' t apply now to the Ivanimovic and Lukako.
