Ive just heard the sad news that sir Bobby robson has passed away, i think everyone who even has a slight interest in football would agree that Sir Bobby is a true great.

Absolutely, am gutted at the news. Legend of a man and manager, will never be another like him.

Very sad indeed.

Sky at 1.15 today.

Sorry to hear about Sir Bobby. I'm no lover of Football but he seemed to me to represent all that was good in the game. A real gentleman and unfairly savaged by the media.

Sounds like City got beat this afti.

They might aswell have not turned up, leaving Geovanni and Turner on the bench.

I feel sorry for the fans!

atleast they can fly home now and all their new signings can meet up with the rest of the squad

We did tho, players like Featherstone, Devitt, Atkinson, Cairney, Doyle and Warner are all reserve team players

We need to sign 2 quality strikers cause Folan isnt good enough and Cousin is far too inconsistent, we looked good in patches but we give the ball away to easy

seems a fair reflection to me; pre-season games mean nothing - ie spurs last season are the best example

I'm sure some people hate city more than fc on here

i know this is a rugby forum but thought i'd have my 2 pennorth about said subject.

side that gets promoted and at present has only actually paid a fee for 1 striker (daniel cousin, if you can call him that) in one full season and a pre season just isnt going to survive!!!!

Maybe it's something to do with the fact that the chairman doesn't want to live beyond the club's means. When you see Portsmouth selling nearly £80million worth of players in 9 months and still in debt, it makes you realise that running a club along sound business principles is a very good idea, despite the fact it may result in relegation. Even if it does, hey, we've had worse days!
