[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Not looking through blue tinted glasses and expecting a load of abuse but,remember when city used to play fast silky football instead of endless passes we seem to think that endless passing results in goals it doesn’t ,it’s no use unless you have a shot instead of attacking fast then the end result is another back pass that ends up with our goalkeeper with 11 of the opponents just waiting to pick us off ,I personally think we should have a few more shots other teams have now sussed pep way and think it time for a change in peps tactics
As teams are prepared to let us have possession until they get the ball and a quick attack follows this happens in every match,we need the players not to be afraid of having a shot..goals count not passes,
When pep arrived our football was the best I’ve seen now it very predictable
Saying that was shaking my head watching last night thinking how the hell did both of these teams beat us
Merry Christmas blues

If you attack with speed the opponents have to defend with speed, and that's where they make the mistakes. Just look at our last few matches - we're on the attack, it breaks down and before yer can have another sip of yer Bovril the fuckin' balls in our net!

But this is the Rag Bastard thread so I finish with the slot that BBC local TV at mid-day dealt the viewers - they managed to squeeze in last night's game at The Lane. Rags on the raggy end of a seven goal thriller! Seven fuckin' goals and the Biased Broadcasting Corruption choose the last one.

When they say 'you' as in 'you can see how Amoron wants them to play,' who exactly are they referring to? Because I certainly can't see it. They look like they are just making it up as they go along.
To me they are as disjointed and as unorganised as they've been for years and years. Under Ayatollah Pisscan they weren't exactly playing what I would call good football - as in the way Pep's teams play football. Under that alcoholic çunt of an excuse for a human being they played either hoofball or Twitcher Redknapp's 'get the wingers to whip a cross in for the big lanky fellah' stuff. Hardly a tactical masterclass. But as ever the press fawned over it because of who they were. It was only when Pep's Barcelona side ripped them a brand new collection of anal cavities that people started to see the Govan bully for what he was - fuck all.

It's almost comedic the way the press go on about the 'U*ited way.' They have never had a footballing identity, they have just played the way most English teams used to - and while everyone else has moved on from the 70's they are still stuck in the 'jumpers for goalposts' days.
They are still exactly the same team that was managed by Dave Sexton, Tommy Docherty, Ron Atkinson and the rest: the players names have changed but nothing else has. For the rags Watneys is still 3p a pint, 'Department S' is still on TV and Brian Poole and The Tremeloes are still the biggest name in pop music.

That's because once again, when replacing their manager they've picked someone who plays a different system to the last guy.

At least Soto will produce. If the Mets win one championship in the next 5 years it’s worth every penny!!

Amen brother :-)

" ripped them a brand new collection of anal cavities " has just won Bluemoons quote of the year :-)

At 3-0 I thought the Rag bastards were gonna nick it, at 3-1 I thought the Rag bastards were gonna nick it, I thought at 3-2 the Rag bastards were gonna nick it, at 4-2 I thought the Rag bastards were gonna nick it, at 4-3 i thought the Rag bastards were gonna nick it and at 90+8 i thought that Fergie time was back and the Rag bastards were gonna nick it. Just shows that we of little faith can have our prayers answered.

It's not just you mate, it's the entire rag team, fans, coaches and media morons.
Rag players believe all the stuff they read and hear. They are convinced every game lasts until they score as it did in the past. They have a totally unwarranted belief in their own ability, but don't realise it's unwarranted so keep going for 99+ minutes in the knowledge they will win.
Obviously this doesn't happen much these days but they rarely get to 85 minutes with their minds on a hot shower and a trip home in the Lambo. They were all to eager to pounce when we fucked up on Sunday, and they saw the first last night as a step towards a draw at least.
They score loads of late goals because they rarely switch off even when they appear out the game. They are deluded as fuck, but they won't ignore gifts thrown at them.
And that's before PIGMOL's attempts to protect the brand.

Not sure if anybody has already posted this here but look at the state of this...


It reminds me of when I was in Wigan at a snooker/pool hall probably about 16 years ago, the rags were on in the background and Carlos Tevez was playing for them at the time, me my brother my sisters husband and nephew were there for the nephews birthday.

We got invited for a free few hours there due to knowing a co-owner and they were showing the rags v Wigan on a massive screen, when the rags scored everyone cheered and when Wigan scored the very same people cheered, it was completely surreal both teams scored at least a couple.

We were all laughing at the state of the locals who didn't know who to cheer for that day like these Koreans, even my sister's husband who is a rag was laughing and couldn't believe it and this still comes up in conversation every now and again, I'm not sure whether they just cheer every goal in those parts of Wigan but that whole snooker hall was full of wronguns.

Pretty much describes any scum glory hunter
Around the world.
