[b:33tg3xj5]Me:[/b:33tg3xj5] I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.
[b:33tg3xj5]knockersbumpMKII:[/b:33tg3xj5] Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50086.jpg |

| Quote: Roddy B "There doesn't seem to be a balance between the two, though. The Spanish seem to have it mastered of late. Immensely gifted players with the engines and desire to run all game. OK, so they don't tackle hard and they don't rough you up, but they are majorly effective at getting the ball back.
As I said, Tevez has always worked hard, but it seems in England it's been 'preferred' that he'd run after it rather than with it. Players like Torres and Tevez arrived here with perfect attitudes, they worked hard and they had ability. Since then, they seem to have been pushed to work harder, but probably aren't as good.'"
If I remember correctly, Fergie had a pop at Tevez's technique when he left - something veiled about how crap his first touch was. I think it was mainly to draw a comparison with Berbatov who, as we all know, has lovely feet.
I think Tevez improved when we went to city. It can't be because he was playing with better players because he wasn't. It may be because he was better coached. I suspect the real reason was that he got more game time. He still ran around just as much but he got into a groove where he was unplayable at times. |

Anyone a Blackburn fan? Wondering what MB Diouf was like last season, apparently we've had an offer accepted by Utd for him.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

| Quote: Andy Gilder "It's the English way, a good pair of lungs over a good pair of feet any day of the week.
If a player isn't capable of putting his foot in and grafting to get the ball back for the team he doesn't get picked - hence Phil Neville having more England caps than Glenn Hoddle.
'"
Not sure about the Neville/Hoddle comparison???..... 
Its like pointing out that Terry Butcher got more caps than Matt LeTissier......Yes, LeTiss was better to watch, but Butcher wouldn't be picked for his fairying around in midfield, would he?
Same point with Neville and Hoddle surely? |

He had some good games for us.I would say he's not good enough to be a top Premiership forward but he'll score a lot more in the championship than he did for us. |

Been to Citys first preseason game tonight, nice 4 1 win at Ferriby.
Please with the 3 new signings on show, especially Adebola who looks like he'll be a handfull, getting a nice goal whilst he was at it. Also impressed with Joe Dudgeon the left back.
Also, any Liverpool or United fans with opinions on Gulasci or Robbie Brady who we've signed today?

The time to judge is when 5th august comes around, Ive never taken notice of Friendlys as they are irrelevent and are nothing apart from a training session
I think Dudgeon will be quality tho and think he will start infront of Dawson to begin with.
From what ive heard Brady is class and is better than stewart so thats promising |
