Re: List the rags likely trophy haul this season We won the derby even though we lost it award because we didnt get smashed for 12 award

Re: City v United pre match thread The first goal is just so good. The build up with Nasri's footwork and heel pass, the kolarov overlap and then the awesome finish from Aguero. Absolutely love that goal.

Best wishes to Rammy, I hope he is well soon.

Imagine if someone told a young Messi or Ronaldo to stop trying tricks and dribbles. I agree with a lot of stuff you are saying, the attitude needs to change

It is not a fact, you are talking absolute rubbish. Could you please advise me how you are qualified to make such unfounded statements? What credentials do you hold. Joe Hart is one of the best Keepers that this country has seen since the likes of Seaman and Shilton. He is not yet the finished...

He was a great cricketer at Worcestershire, I would not count on it! He nearly rejected Shrewsbury and went to Kings and play at Worcester on a scholarship, but for some reason he chose Shrewsbury and their college. What an amazing decision it turned out to be.

Seems strange, especially for a German side, they are usually so stable with ownership etc. I cannot see much other than Lewandowski leaving to have upset the apple cart, but even still, they have so many solid players around him who could cope without him. I do wonder what is happening.

Give it a break! He has made 6 appearances in the league this season and we are judging him already. He has come from a completely different style of play, let him adapt to it. Garcia was the same when we first signed him. Let him settle and then we can judge him.

He will be transferred instead then, or he will be instilled as the team's dictator and sit on his throne atop the Colin Bell stand.

Here here!

Re: City v United pre match thread I actually wonder if we had played the likes of Pozo and Barker etc (not saying Barker could have started and played 90 mins) whether they would have performed better and had more hunger to win in what some players may not see as a crucial competition.

I would concur, he has pace, fantastic awareness and positioning for a striker. I would be interested to see him have a crack in the England set up.

Re: City v United pre match thread I like to think that we will do the 'typical city' of being absolutely dreadful and getting schooled by 'lower teams' and then absolutely bumming United, but I have watched City for long enough now to be still so pessimistic.

Re: City v United pre match thread For the first time in a good while since we have overtaken them as the biggest team, I am nervous and very negative going into this derby. Especially after our last 3 games.

Im glad to hear this Kev, I think that when you see how much the kids enjoy it and realise what a positive impact you can have on their lives, not only on the pitch, but outside of that, helping them to be a decent human being, it is awesome. Equal playing time is crucial. If you start playing...

And you would be spot on it doing so. Let them play and learn the game, if you shout and tell them every little move to make, they wont learn and you might aswell wear a jersey yourself and get on the pitch. In regards to coaches saying you wont win playing like that, as mentioned in previous...

Good to hear about your teams success and credit to your dad. Out of interest, what is his football background? Playing, coaching etc? Did he do any badges? I am not being snobby I am genuinely curious. 3G pitches are an absolute must though I agree, if we are not playing competitive football...

I do not disagree with what you are saying. These are the basic fundamentals of the game. What are the best 3 things you can get a young kid to do with a football? 1.Play wallie, kicking it off the wall with his left and right foot from different distances, different power etc. This develops...

This is the sad thing, the coaches are so obsessed with winning that they use such a tactic which sacrifices the development of the whole team for maybe 1 or 2 seasons success at playing 'like stoke'. On the other hand, I shadow the sentiment of how great it is when you start to see kids...

A good player no doubt and a great story behind his rise to the prem. Would he be able to do it for City? Im not sure. Would it be a similar case as to Rickie Lambert at Liverpool?
