Sunday, the derby nobody wants to win?

[richards30]

I'm desperate for us to win ! Apart from beating the rags AGAIN this is currently our trophy!!! We are the holders do lets try our utmost to defend it ! It's still the fa cup so we can do a little rotation in areas but the players are well paid and I don't want us throwing ANY games or competition!! Win the fucking lot!!

dont think he'll "throw the game" although he did v bayern and napoli so you never know.

you get what i`m saying though bill? apart from anything us its the fucking rags?!? any game we play against them we should wanna batter them! and in my opinion we should try to defend our trophy?

i hope you're just trying to provoke a reaction with that comment, and you genuinely don't believe it.

You don't go into a CL game away from home without picking your best 11, now bob definatly rotated for these games, kolo being picked was a dead giveaway.
Sorry jmw but he wanted out.
Unless you can tell me any other reason why he weakened us in those two crucial games. Please bear in mind it cost me two grand to go watch us surrender our CL place. Not including villareal.

Do you not think that Bobby simply rates Kolo higher than Lescott. Seems to me, he brings Kolo in for big games like Liverpool last week.

Yeah, his subdued reaction when we pinched the winner against Villareal was a dead giveaway...

because our "best" XI can't play every game or they'd get injured and knackered and ruin our season and the players that came in are good enough to have done the job.

Fact is Hart was at fault twice in Napoli(our #1) and Bayern, well if you really expected us to win then you're really optimistic, and there was a hell of a lot on and off the pitch that didn't go our way that night.

Ultimately if you're blaming team changes then really you're blaming the full backs, and really Kolarov's fault for Napoli away goal 1, but he saved us at COMS against them.

If you want a real fault, our top scorer in the comp was Yaya Toure, with just 3 goals.

to claim Mancini threw it, I think is ridiculous, cynical and questioning his professionalism.

Do you really really think the comp the owner puts so much importance on he'd throw?

I think it's an unbelievable statement.

I'm with Ntini77, Bobs reaction
when we scored the winner against Villareal
weren't the actions of a man who "wanted out"

The FA cup is played at weekends so doesnt really make us play more games per week unless replays etc come into play.

The Europa and League cup on the other hand, clutter up the fixture schedule.

So I think we will go for it

I agree except that there's only 3 games left in the league cup so I think he'll downgrade the UEFA Cup this season.

Its a pity because UEFA have made a complete mess of european competitions.
