Make him stay till end of the season, then let him go. He'll continue to play well if picked rest of the season. I don't see anyway to line up an equal quality replacement, let alone who fits the same style of play, in January. If he goes our season goes with it, at least as far as the title...

This is a ridiculous deal and if City allow this to go through we will a) both greatly strengthen a serious competitor of ours and b) let it be known that we are okay with being held over a barrel.

definitely yes. first foul was outside box and advantage was played. then he reached again and got Bellamy's jersey, clearly inside the line (slow down the replay to see this). United fans will whine because that's what they do, but it was certainly the right call.

thanks for posting that, good find and pretty useful read

nice sentiment but the fact is at least half the team now are going to be either unhappy or seriously insecure about their role in the club until at least the end of January. Some may respond by playing great but others may not. In any case, I'd be surprised if we suddenly have an outbreak of...

Would be hard to argue that replacing Hughes with Hiddink would not be an upgrade. note also Conn in the Guardian arguing basically that Hughes deserves the sack. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2009/dec/18/manchester-city-mark-hughes"...

Re: The Official Transfer Update Thread - Update : 14:12 (1/9) big last-minute signing is we will be taking DaMarcus Beasley's on a year's loan from Rangers. with option for permanent deal.

actually Matty, while I did argue that the human rights issues needed to be taken seriously, my concern was not the human rights stuff or whether he was a good or bad politician (a complicated question and as I said repeatedly, there are things about what he tried to do as PM I admire, and...

Thanks you all. I do still lurk on here periodically, but save posting for a smaller forum, and also have a blog at mancity.theoffside.com which has a predominantly American readership. I did sour not so much on City but on the bitterness of the "discussions" around here during the Thaksin...

Well, maybe it would please the owners to find out their players are capable of thinking of other people and showing the same generosity that the owners have shown to them. And to be as explicit as possible, the idea is to sell or auction off the watches to raise money, not give them away to...

Would be nice if some or all the players might be persuaded to put up these gifts for charity when they get back.

I always thought Macken was bought because of his uncanny resemblance to Moonchester. Nice goal against United though. Vuoso has turned into a very fine player in the Mexican league. From what I've seen of him however he never would have made it in the Premier League. He needs too much time on...

4-3 over Spurs in the cup with 10 men and a few other things like that make it all worth it.

we have thrown away probably 10 points this season that would have made all the difference. Stoke City away, West Brom, away Newcastle, home Liverpool, home Spurs--that's 15, minimum 13, points we should have had and we got all of 1 out of them. In contrast, I can only think of two points we...
