The Decemberists 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2004 So, you, having seen the game at Gay Pride, think Roche is the man to keep us up? If anything Norm would give the A Block and Trent End a lift, not to mention the fat bastard would fill most of the goal anyway. And whoever that sheep shagging cunt you have in goal is shit, fucking shit. If he wasn't he would've left like all your half decent players did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 Is that Adam Murray's brother? Scott doesn't have a brother in football, he did ok on his return and his corner set up our goal on Saturday but we lost again and I'm starting to fear for our Play Off place.With Rovers winning and looking likely to stay up in Division 3 it hasn't been a good weekend for City fans.The "double" of us going into Division 1 and Rovers dropping into the Conference looks impossible now.

caboose 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2004 Craptacular England. Sweden have just gone one up, and I just had to stop watching. I hate the fact Eriksson has agreed to stay, frankly I wish he had gone to Chelsea and fucked them up. The fact that England have had the better of the match despite putting out one of the most negative looking England sides I've seen in a while, shows Eriksson knows nothing. If the negative line-up wasn't bad enough, Eriksson sends them out with a negative approach. The strikers have done everything themselves except for a token Hargreaves effort. GK James RB Carragher LB P.Neville D Woodgate D Terry RW Hargreaves LW Thompson M Gerrard M BUTT F Rooney F Vassell (Defoe) From that side: James is not good enough. I think this point has been proven enough by now. P.Neville has been proven substandard enough times. Carragher is not an international fullback, maybe Liverpool, but not internationally. The central defence I can't argue with. Hargreaves and Thompson, are central midfielders, THEY ARE NOT WINGERS! This is like the fifth time I've seen Hargreaves play on the wing, and he's not good enough there. BUTT is a holding player, but Gerrard can't be the creative midfielder, he runs from deep. Rooney and Defoe have looked hungry so I won't complain about them.. Why not give Jenas a chance as creative midfielder? Why not try Wright-Phillips on the left? Why not give Joe Cole a start too? Eriksson can got to hell for all I care. We could have chewed up and spat this avearge Swedish side if Eriksson had some balls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystery Eskimo 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2004 Alan Thompson was never close to international level at Villa, I can't imagine he's improved playing in Scotland. There's no excuse for not playing Wright-Phillips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deancoles 0 Report post Posted March 31, 2004 Wright-Phillips and Samuel should have been given at least 75 minutes, Joe Cole should have got his first complete game since he played for West Ham, why pick 4 goalkeepers when he had no intention of taking James off? The second half was poor and the only player that stood out from both teams was Kallstrom of Sweden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anorak 0 Report post Posted April 1, 2004 Time will tell (if he continues to improve and actually gets a proper chance) whether or not Wright-Phillips is truly a top class player capable of being a key England member but at the moment i love to see him play, he's so positive in how he attacks defenders and uses his pace and trickery. Personally i agree 100% with what Caboose said about Eriksson, i don't think he has the tactical nous or imagination to get the full results from a potentially very good England team. Alan Smith needs to figure in the summer as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2004 Here's a review of our vital game at the weekend,the Boos next to Thorpe and Cureton are due to Thorpe leaving us on a Bosman after we bought him for 1 Million and for Cureton playing for that other team in Bristol. City had most of the possession in the 1st half, especially where it counted in the QPR danger zone. Most of us in the Atyeo stand thought that recalling Mickey Bell on the left was a clever idea as it gave us attacking options down the left as well as having Scott Murray on the right.Christian Roberts was also recalled to test QPRs more muscular but slow defenders in place of the muscular Rougier. After a close 40 minutes in which the few chances went to City, including a super save from Camp from a Roberts header, QPR gave Scotty enough room to run at them just once and he ran into the danger zone, crossed for Roberts who cooly slotted home. The place was in uproar. In the second half I thought QPR would change up a gear and come at us, giving Scott more room, but they didnt threaten much despite adding Thorpe (boo) and Cureton (boo) to their attack. The gaps did appear in the QPR defence though and Camp again did well to save a one on one with Murray when he broke through. Game was nearly drawn at 85mins when Thorpe (boo) shot and Phillips (yay) saved well. We then showed Ian Holloway that his years of service to the Enemy had not been in vain. "Cheer up Holloway, oh what can it mean? For a sad, gashead b******, from a S*** football team" (R*vers, not QPR). Holloway to his credit was great fun waving to the City fans, QPR fans gave great support, but we deserved it and now it it game on once again. If we go up I look forward to going to Forest and seeing us get revenge for the League Cup Semi Final Defeat of 1989, It was especially sad since We did the Hard Part of getting a 1-1 draw away and then we lose 1-0 at home(1st match I went to and you ruined it).
