Saturdays Games

[Ted Hughes]

Today's results have put us potentially in the title race. We will have players coming back into the squad as others come under more pressure from the Chump's lg etc. We should get stronger as they get weaker. Now it's time to show if we've got what it takes.

Spot on i'm starting to think Patrick was onto something,

[Fish111]

I am actually starting to believe we can win the league. It hasn't even entered my head before but the results, ours and other teams, just keep going our way. We now have a quality manager, our squad is as strong as anyone else's in the top 4 and the desire from the board is convincing me that we can do something this year. I'd settled on a top 6 spot this season and push for glory next but with the way things are going we could cause a massive upset.

Over Christmas, I spoke with my older brother about the Hughes affair and he told me that he'd been pointing out to his mate , he meets at COMS (all season ticket holders) for a long time that he was glad hughes was sacked because he felt the Owners and managers realised that with all the investment and the way results are panning out over the season for other teams, that they realised that The PL is could be won by for City. Hence the change - Which he thought was more than justifiable given the investment City have made.

If it works it's justified. If we end up 10th it's a disaster. We'll find out once we've played/beaten a few decent teams.

Just thought I'd check out Taggarts post-match interview,and you'll never guess what............?

Birmingham City 1, Manchester United 1: Fergie moans about ref
Jan 9 2010

Sir Alex Ferguson risked the wrath of the Premier League once more with his post-match criticism of referee Mark Clattenburg's "weird and wonderful" performance in his side's 1-1 draw at Birmingham.

Ferguson was banned for four games, two of them suspended, and fined £20,000 for comments about the fitness of Alan Wiley after October's draw with Sunderland.

He was also warned about his future conduct, but today labelled the dismissal of Darren Fletcher "ridiculous" and was also bemused after United's goal initially seemed set to be disallowed for offside.

The flag went up against Wayne Rooney, itself a marginal call, but the goal stood after it was established that Blues defender Scott Dann got the crucial touch.

Ferguson told ESPN: "I've not seen a softer sending-off for a long time. It's absolutely ridiculous, really.

"I've been watching Mark Clattenburg this season. He did the Arsenal-Tottenham game - you had to have someone hit with an axe before he'd book anyone in that game, and he sends a player off here.

"There were some wonderful and weird decisions out there. The linesman gives offside for our goal - it's an own goal, and he gives offside! Anyway, we carry on."

The Red Devils had trailed to Cameron Jerome's opener late in a first half which Ferguson's men dominated, and the United boss continued: "We played absolutely brilliantly in the first half and to lose a goal right on half-time was a sickener.

"Birmingham are in real good form, they work so hard and make it difficult for you so we've got to be satisfied with a point, particularly as we've ended with 10 men."

Now, let's get rid of this RESPECT campaign once and for all as has been proved again, the so called biggest name in football management has single handedly brought it into disrepute!!!

nothing surprises me. He should be given a 10 match touchline ban to send a clear message the fucking scumbag

[Ted Hughes]

As if baconface knew it was an OG before someone told him. Tosser.

No way the lino can see that it's an OG from where he was, he'll just have seen Rooney slide in & the ball hit the net.

[9secondlegend]

fuck all will happen

[mr_nool]

I haven't seen the scum's goal yet. will take a look at it at motm.
But to me it sounds like off side. if a defender scored an own goal when trying to prevent the ball from reaching Rooney in an off side position, Rooney clearly affects the play and is defacto offside.

the speed of the play at the time it looked like Rooney had scored. In real time there was no way the linesman could see and Rooney looked to be offside by a fraction of a millimetre only too. It was all very tight and the lines man was not to blame, it was an understandable flag, however, it was a wrong one. Clattenburg got it Spot on for the goal. I didnt see the sending of as I turned over for the simpsons movie!

No I just pressed the submit option when I wasn't ready and I had changed my mind a few times ...... !

I'll be drinking on Monday night though, when we move into the top 4 :-))

Sky sports headline

"Blues hold ten-man United". For how long ? 87 minutes ?

No , he was sent off in the after 83 minutes ! wow ! you would expect a team to hold out for six plus minutes and Fergie time
wouldn't you ? Talk about stretching the truth to make a story

Seen it on MotD now. You're right, defo no offside.
Hart seems to khave had yet another good game.
I'm a very biassed (working a as a sports journalist in his hometown, when he got a youth contract at Arsenal), but Sebastian Larsson is doing really well this season. I always loved his right foot, but thought that was it, but this season he's really taken a step up. He'll probably never be top 4 material, but who knows, maybe he can be the new (from a couple of seasons back) Gamst Pedersen?

Hart's deffo improving. At the start of the season he was dropping bollox all over the place & I thought he looked like a possible failure but he really is starting to live up to his potential. If we can sign him on a new contract, hang on to him & keep him busy in the PL then 2-3 years from now he may be a real threat to Shay's job.
