I think Ravel Morrison isn't far off Leon Knight to be honest.

Unfortunately for him, and us. At the time when this lad was coming through we had an absolutely awful medical department, so when he had an abdominal problem it kept getting misdiagnosed again and again. That was where the problems set in, he showed a distinct lack of effort in getting back in to shape when he was ready to get back to playing, it was all over Bluemoon repeatedly that he'd been seen pissed in this bar or another bar and then he'd pick up an injury in the youth teams, and then he'd be fit, have a good few games, pick up another injury and I honestly think he just got depressed and gave up trying.

It's not just that, we always seem to give a new manager a good start. I've lost count of how many teams we play after getting a new guy and giving them a nice start.

I don't troll. I genuinely think Rafa is a decent manager.

I honestly think Rafa will/would do alright for you.

It's not, but they always seem to up their game for the bigger games and we always struggle or get robbed at Clanfield.

It's not looking good I agree, but when you look at the results there's not many that say "Well, that was crap". Point at Stoke, Draw with Arsenal and Liverpool. We should have hung on against Arsenal, if not for the defensive mistakes we would have, they are starting to add up.

Afternoon ladies and gents. Regarding last night, I'm not too concerned that we're out of the League Cup. Granted, it would have been nice to go further, but it's not the end of the world. What I am not happy about is our constant defensive mistakes, now, it's not just the same players making mistakes, it's all of our defenders making the same mistake. Which to me means it's a coaching thing, I don't know whether this is the cause or not, but just before the season started one of our coaches went to manage the u21's (Lombardo) and we brought in a replacement (Gregucci) since then, we've fallen apart. Like I said, I don't know if that's the cause, but it seems too much of a coincidence. Nastasic look's good, and I think he'll be fine when it's all sorted but it's worrying that so many mistakes are being made by the whole defence. Regarding the youth, Suarez needs a bit more body strength, he's too easily dispossessed. Razak was extremely disappointing last night with his complete and utter lack of awareness, he'd get the ball and then look around, by the time he's come to a decision on what to do, he had 2-3 players climbing all over him, often losing the ball with ease, setting up counter attacks. Guidetti had an illness that gave him some sort of problem with one of his legs that he is still recovering from (apparently it was like an extremely bad dead leg that caused muscle degradation) so we won't see him back for a while.

You cannot seriously believe that this muppet is a City fan?

Afternoon gents, long time no see. Just came on to respond. That specific video was put together by TalkSport, when in actuality most of those were posted seperately on Bluemoon by other forums, most of 'em aren't City fans, they're neutrals. If you care to look, or can even be arsed, here's the thread http://forums.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=257022 Good luck tomorrow.

Which one? they keep locking them, it's hilarious.

To be fair, we were shocking and it didn't really have anything to do with Lisbon, obviously a loss is a loss, but I'd still be surprised if we didn't go through.

This is beautiful.

I do like Bilbao's Green kit. Muniain(sp?) looks a handful.

Honestly? I wouldn't swap Aguero for RVP anyway. Aguero is 23, has so far scored 21 goals in his first season in a new team and has a pretty decent injury record. Can't wait too see what he does next year.

RVP won't be coming here, if you look at Mancini's quotes you'll see he's just responding to a question like any sane manager would. e.g. If RVP was for sale, would you be interested = Yes. He also stated repeatedly that he thinks he'll stay at Arsenal. It's just another none story.

Hiddink just took over Anzhi otherwise I could see him going back to you. Pep on the other hand takes a one year rolling contract at Barca so if you can manage to tempt him away before renewal, that would be one hell of a signing.

I didn't say you did.

]When you put it like that, I can see it. I ask you this, who in world football other than Jose has this fortitude?

No need to get angry, it was a valid question. In fact, if you look after my comment on the previous page, you'll find that one of your own supporters asked the same thing.

After the way the your last 2-3 managers have been treated, do you see anyone wanting to leave where they are comfortable to only be treated like crap for a season before getting the boot?

Unbelievably stupid decision.

We played in to their hands, first game was nerves, and lack of experience. Second game was just the wrong tactic, we practically camped in their half and tried to pass them to death with no pace.

Good luck.

How slow do you have to be to get run over by your own car?
