| Said a few weeks ago that it appears it will be Utd's title.
To win a league you need things to go your way. They are for Utd at the moment. Utd drop points, so do everyone else (Utd drew at Villa, Chelsea lost to Sunderland and were 2 clear instead of 5). When the others drop points, Utd win.

| Quote ="DAR130"I've listened to a few pundits say how shocked they are since the news came out but they don't watch us for 90 minutes week in week out,the football he plays may get a team in mid table security but after a while you just want something more when you spend 30+ quid to watch the team.In over 20 years as a Rovers fan i've never been as bored as I have the last 2 years since he's been manager.It's been torture for me to watch us and can't have been much better for the fans of other teams watching us when we've been on tv.'"
I know the feeling, it's starting to get like that for us, not on the same scale but stale and predictable football does take it's toll after 9 years. You pay good money and get fook all back in return for it sometimes. I guess us, like you, haven't had much of a plan B, Moyes' only other tactic is to throw strikers on the pitch. Most people would be astounded to hear Moyes being criticised but watch us every week since August and people would see it different.
Quote ="DAR130"Rovers fans are not asking for us to play like Barcelona or Arsenal all the time but I'm sick of going into every game overloaded with defensive players hoping for a set piece goal to get us a win.What I would like the new manager to do when he starts is to play 2 up front at least at home games,move Jones back to his natural position of CB next to Samba and lets play the ball out from the back instead of using Robinsons big boot all the time to set up our attacks.'"
Again, very similar to us. We pack the midfield out so much there's no room to play the ball out and our midfielders are so static next to each other there's nowhere to go. I can't remember the last time we tried 2 up front, we're crying out for it but we won't get it and we'll just continue to get Saha upfront doing fook all for 60 minutes before going off and then doing it again the week after. One incident against Wigan where Beckford flicked a long ball back across the edge of the box, perfect for someone to run on too and out nearest support player was on the half way line.
Quote ="DAR130"In the end this could be a big mistake by the new owners if the new manager doesn't work out but sometimes you have to take a risk in the hope that better times are ahead.'"
It's always a risk but bar going down, which there's noway you will, the next manager can't really do much worse.

I was under the impression that Rover's transfer budget for January was only £5m. If its signinficantly more than that then I'll admit I may be wrong. But I cant see Rovers current squad easily adapting to pretty football.

| Thought Utd deserved it last night, pefect few weeks for Utd, a decent gap if we win the game in hand. That said Chelsea have hada bad run and will snap out of it anytime, I am guessing probably against us this weekend. I'll be glad when the first loss comes tbh, just to stop all talk of being undefeated. Park's energy was superb last night and Anderson seems to be finding his feet at last.

Quality work again from Mr Blatter, so are FIFA going to make Qatar change their stance on homosexuality?

If it's true it will come out. Let's face it, if we can find out what the US government is thinking FIFA will be pretty easy. I mean, they like gays even less than right wing America appears to do.

I think it's more a case that they care about money more than they care about gays. Or a reputable organisation. Or a decent world cup.

| FA Pretty quick to write to Barton to 'remind him of his responsibilites' regarding the gesture towards Torres, but nothing said to Torres himself regarding being a gobby little t*sser mouthing off at Barton when he clearly hadn't seem that Liverpool had a man down. he's becoming a bigger sulk than Le Sulk

He's not fluid enough to fit in our system. You see it when Adebayor or Santa Cruz play the front man out of the three that it's the way Tevez pulls the defenders apart and creates space for the others that makes the difference. Dzeko is not mobile enough to fit the bill if we are going to stick with the formation we have and the one that the manager likes.'"
I cant see us sticking rigidly to to our current formation. City are now in the fairly bizarre situation of having scored the most away goals in the league (16) and the joint fewest home goals (icon_cool.gif. The current formation works very well away from home but we need to develop a twin striker formation at home if we are going to avoid the 0-0 draws. We havent been able to do that with Adebayor and Santa Cruz which is why I think we need someone like Dzeko plus a replacement for Tevez.

The current formation works very well away from home but we need to develop a twin striker formation at home if we are going to avoid the 0-0 draws.
In the last month, we have had players return from injury, new players have settled in and the team are beginning to look more comfortable with the formation. In the last month, we have played 3 away games and one at home. In the away games our finishing has been very good and we have managed to score a hatful. In the home game, we dominated Bolton but we were wasteful. I cannot see how it is anything to do with a need to have extra strikers.
We have also played 10 away games and 8 home games. I would also suggest that our home games have been tougher. From the top 4 of last year, we have played 3 of them at home, and only one of them away (Spurs).
Quote I think we need someone like Dzeko plus a replacement for Tevez.'"
Indeed.

| Quote ="Ian 77 Redux"Not really. Your demeanour on here is of someone who receives tragic news on an hourly basis.
You can't be all grumpy and cross all the time and then wonder when people take you the 'wrong way'. Lighten up.
And as for the 'too easy' word play on Cook; again, let's not forget you're the chap who insisted on calling Wayne Rooney 'Blooney' the other week.
I could offer lots of reasons why I think Gary Cook is a nob but as you're not interested I'll keep it to one - I thought his dismissal of AC Milan in respect of the Kaka transfer was crass and showed a lack of understanding of a) Football and b) Manchester City football club.'"
I think you are lacking in self-awareness.
The evidence:
I am too ‘serious’ yet you were upset by me calling Rooney, ‘Blooney’. I referred to him as Blooney because he once said ‘Once a blue..” and he was linked to City recently. You were upset because you thought I was intimating that he was overweight
You refer to Garry Cook as ‘crass’ yet minutes earlier you swap the second ‘o’ in his surname for a ‘c’.
You appear to be upset/angry about Cook saying that Milan “bottled it”? Calm down, dear. Why is that a big issue with you?
Lighten up, for goodness sake. Maybe living in Cheshire brings that out in you.
BTW you still haven’t explained the reasoning behind your views of Marwood. Is that because you know nothing about what he does at City? Probably.
