Making Plans

[quote user="City1st"]mind you, coming from North Walsham I doubt there''s little choice in the matter[/quote] It is clear from your 3,200+ posts that there aren''t many things you don''t have an opinion on, which is fine by me. However, when it means putting forward arguements based on your own sad form of localised racism then maybe you should consider concentrating your comments on what members say rather than make abusive remarks about them which are simply based on where they happen to live. Or better still, if you can''t make any positive comments then try keeping your opinions to yourself. 

[quote user="lake district canary"]"Oh, and in case you hadn''t noticed, the "big" clubs are at the top, vested interest by media or not." Yes - and they always will be as long as people keep going on about mini-leagues!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a league of 20 clubs. Period.[/quote] Now let me get this right - if no one ever mentioned the words "mini leagues" again then all 20 Premier League Clubs would stand the same chance of winning the League.  OK, so none of the "top clubs" are where they are because of money, players, wages. bigger crowds, merchandising, squad strength etc,  because it''s all down to people like me who keep going on about mini leagues. I think I understand now.  

[quote user="lake district canary"]The more you create leagues within leagues, the more you are empowering the top clubs[/quote] Rubbish, it''s the billionaire owners that are empowering the top clubs. [quote user="lake district canary"]This mini-league malarky is an annoying distraction. [/quote] No it isn''t a distraction. it''s reality. [quote user="lake district canary"]Surely we can enjoy the season match by match and not create false targets[/quote] I am enjoying it but it''s not a false target. So our target should be to finish top then? [quote user="lake district canary"]Don''t be brainwashed by the media whose vested interest is in seeing the "big" clubs at the top.[/quote] I''m not being brainwashed, I''m just realistic - it''s got nothing to do with the media. Oh, and in case you hadn''t noticed, the "big" clubs are at the top, vested interest by media or not.

Good defence/bad defence Unlucky decisions/unlucky decisions Holt out/Holt in Right tatics/wrong tatics Ruddy brilliant/Ruddy dodgy Fortress Carrow Road/Not fortress Carrow Road Good form/bad form Right team selection/wrong team selection Dissapointing results/more than we could have hoped for Not matter - wherever you stand on the above points, after 10 games we''re doing ok. Cheer up !!   1 Manchester City  2 Manchester United  3 Chelsea  4 Newcastle United  5 Tottenham Hotspur  6 Arsenal  7 Liverpool  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 Norwich City  9 Aston Villa  10 Swansea City  11 Stoke City  12 Queens Park Rangers  13 West Brom  14 Sunderland  15 Fulham  16 Everton  17 Wolverhampton Wanderers  18 Blackburn Rovers  19 Bolton Wanderers  20 Wigan Athletic    

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15336398.stm Surely this can''t be allowed to happen - the end of football as we know it.

I was referring to "live games on the internet, totally free, in reasonable/good quality, commentary in English, normally 100% reliable & without the need for any software downloads or add ons.. I haven''t had any problems, apart from the odd refesh & occassional pop up adverts, watching all of City''s games, plus a lot of others, so far this season" It just amazes me that every game somebody has to ask for a link when it''s the same site, which isn''t difficult to find if you look hard enough, providing the service all the time.

Surely everybody must know by now where to watch live games - the mind boggles

I would have thought that everyone & his dog knows by now where to find a live stream, I mean it''s hardly the World''s best kept secret, so I don''t see what all the fuss is about.  

[quote user="Making Plans"] [quote user="Gene Tierney"]Okay let''s put things into perspective. Manure were shiite today compared to their three previous home games. [/quote] And of course we had anything to do with MU being shiite, did we?? Unbelieveable!! [/quote] Sorry, should have read "And of course we had nothing to do with MU being shiite, did we??

Magnificent performance all round - couldn''t fault anyone. Bodes well for the future.  

[quote user="Bethnal Yellow and Green"] The Cole tackle couldn''t be a penalty as it happened after the ball was out of play. [/quote] So if player A smacks player B in the mouth when the ball is out of player, that''s OK then?  

v Manure on Sunday. Didn''t hear too many complaints from him when Torres should have been sent off & Ruddy shouldn''t have been, both of which were much more clear cut decisions than anything that happened at OT on Sunday. That is apart from the Cole "tackle" but I doubt if he was complaining about the fact that Cole stayed on the pitch. Quote " "I''m very unhappy with a poor display from the referees that had a decisive role in the result." "I don''t take it very lightly. You expect the linesman to do his job." Who is this guy for God''s sake   http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/14992738.stm

for the "Keep The Faith" & "In Lambert We Trust" optimisimn to go out the window, did it? Just reading some of the post match comments  - wrong team picked, players out of position, no quality, young & hungry is not enough, Johnson is rubbish, it''s all the ref''s fault etc etc Yeah, yeah, yeah !!! But you didn''t think this was going to be easy, did you?  

Potentially a good striker - he was in the right place but unfortunately at the wrong time

Because BBC "Sport" = joke.

[quote user="MAJESTIC"]agree good move for every one involved[/quote] Especially for me as I''m sick to death of a new CM thread starting every day - the sooner he goes (for good) the better.

News flash: Sky are moving all Arsenal matches to the Cartoon Network

Torres - no goals & lucky to stay on the pitch Holt - one goal & priceless

11 minutes stpoage time - Jesus, it''ll be dark before we''re finished 

Welcome to the Premiership - there''s definitely a bias against newly promoted clubs. It''s just something we have to get used to, if after 3 games we aren''t already.

[quote user="norfolkbroadslim"]Cody would have scored tonight!!!  [/quote] How do you know he hasn''t

Yeah right Paul

[quote user="K Lo"]Will there be any interesting chants sung out to MK Dons reminding them that they are STILL League One etc? Perhaps we could sing: "We only play you in the cup Play you in the cup You''re too sh** for us We only play you in the cup" [/quote] I think MK Dons fans are currently signing - "We only beat you in the cup Beat you in the cup You''re too sh** for us We only beat you in the cup" Half time 0-2
