Awful awful game, But what about the goalkeeping situation? a big chance for Green on Saturday and he blew it (though part of it was Rios crapness!). A few football blogs I've read again see James as the number one - just. But he is always prone to mistakes. But then again so is Foster...

Re: UEFA to reveal the “biggest football scandal” of all time!! Standard Liege played Everton in UEFA Cup qualifying last year, though with the money involved in the UEFA Cup nowhere near Champs League levels it would be surprising if it involved the scousers.

Financial doping or not it means if Mansour does get bored and decides to sell up we won't be left owing him billions (like Chelsea and United) That was my main fear when he took over that we could be bought and sold on a whim and have to saddle the debts. However it has turned out to be every...

Yeah teams seem to pick England international week to sack their managers as it gives them an extra few days to get someone in. Barnes was a dead man walking at Tranmere and I think Keane is the same. The only thing keeping him there is his stubborn pride (eroding by the day) and the board's...

No a few Tranmere fans who have been desperate for him to leave for weeks, they still cant work out why they sacked Ronnie Moore after just missing out on the play-offs last year, then expecting Barnes to do better with less money to spend. It didn't help having that moron Jason Mcateer as his...

Go old school and call it the Premiership!!

I've read another couple of football blogs talking about this, reckon its just journos picking the easy targets in the side to replace - with our backing no player is financially off limits

I don't think we should be worried about a FIFA led conspiracy against 'new money' clubs, United always said they had the relevant paperwork to clear themselves. I think you're just being paranoid - no doubt ingrained in you from years of watching City f**k things up! I don't blame you for...

I Might have a bet on England to lose this one, it doesn't matter, no one will be watching it and its a long way away. Our 'precious' England squad will be under strict instructions from their club bosses not to over exert themselves so I could see it being a grim defeat. That said they very...

Amen to you! Top post!

Our owners showed they meant business by fronting up the Robinho money last year and again this summer. They are SO wealthy that their recent spending is like small change. However other take-overs seem to be for the 'glory' of owning a football club, rather than a long term project. The...

A bit harsh IMO, I thought he made the difference last night, Villa were looking comfortable and we needed to change things, Ireland gave us a bit of extra creativity in midfield and helped us get that extra momentum that got us the equaliser. Just needs to build up his match fitness now as he...

I think its that, it makes sense I suppose rather than alphabetical order. Though we will be 10 points clear of them by the time the Everton game comes round so it doesn't really matter! I hope!

One of the images of the season already, Young went absolutely flying!! Though we don't want him doing that all the time, it was a bit to close to the penalty area for comfort!

Its gonna be a tough match but these are the sort of games a side should win if they have ambitions to break into the top four. Villa seem a bit weaker this year than last season so I'm confident we can get a result

Couple of football blogs previewing the Villa v City game here, here and here. Most of the talk is predictably about Barry going back to Villa, though I don't think that will be a major issue. The return of Ade is the most important thing, reckon he could be back with a bang tonight. 2-1 City I...

The scary thing id you are probobaly not far form the truth there! The FA are scared shitless of him and daren't do anything to p**s him off. I agree with a previous poster who said Wiley could sue for defamation, he must be fit enough as he wouldn't have passed all the Premier League fitness...

the talk of whether he will be a "commanding centre half" is an interesting one, at Everton he often played alongside Jagielka who tended to be the more vocal of the too. Here he is alongside Toure, who is more experienced. Hughes maybe persisted with his attempts to sign him for so long...

I've bet on City to win 3-1 @ 27/1, I'm feeling uber confident at the moment, not just because of City's form but because I won £100 on the sections last week! Hope Johnson will get a few more minutes again, he could be a bonus player this season if he gets back to fitness.

Re: 'Dr' Sulaiman al Fahim The Bullsh*tter ? While I admit this guy is a clown and is coming across as a bullsh**er of the highest order, it was previous owner Gaydamak who sanctioned the ridiculous spending that got them in this mess in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if they are in...
