I think saying it's like their cup final makes us look like arrogant rocket polishers to be fair. It's a semi-final if anything for us, considering we're in a mess, **** the Blues game up, **** up in Europe and are on a right downer.

Having said that, we scraped past them and have full bragging rights, so I guess we're "The Pride of the Midlands" again.

Jesus wept, what planet is Ashley on? What a total, total shambles.

As long as it's not Jol. If Jol held on at Ajax after we approached and told us to do one and then resigns and goes to Newcastle I will be proper steaming

Not confident...I think Odemwingie and the yam yams will have a pleasant afternoon. Maybe our manager will go up to the away fans and applaud them afterwards.

I'm trying and trying and it's getting so hard to believe the excuses.

MON's squad, not Houllier's

Injuries

Luck - see Spurs game etc.

Every has bad patches. But this one is really quite alarming. You might be ravaged by problems, but the drubbing by Newcastle and being played off the pitch by a Plop side that did not have the three players that "make" their team makes my nerves jingle. Half of the players don't look like they give a shit. At least at Christmas last year when I froze my bollocks off at Villa Park we totally outplayed Liverpool for 93 mins until they got lucky with how the ball fell to Torres. I don't see much to be positive about tonight, and I'm not even one of the stereotypical winging fans.

1) Why can't we take a throw in? Throw it to one of your players, pass it back

2) Why can't we pass a ball?

3) Why can't we defend against set pieces at all?

4) Why can't Stephen Ireland DO ANYTHING at the moment?

Really, really wanting to give some leeway to Houllier, and have done since he took over. Patience is really, really running short. And I have a lot of patience.

How either the England bid was deemed the worst and in such circumstances the Spain/Portugal bid didn't win is totally, totally mind boggling. Qatar? Football in the **** desert? Give me a break. This whole process smells of brown envolopes.

Wonderful selection - unless you happen to be Black. **** backwards corrupt country chosen by one of the most corrupt organisations in the World.

+1

It is times like this that I'm **** glad I don't live in Birmingham anymore.

I've warned the mrs to make herself scarce for the evening and I have my trusty punchbag on hand, beer in the fridge and stress ball at the ready. Let's do this!

Don't forget Champagne if we win. If we lose, drink it anyway. Tesco can probably drown sorrows for 1/2 price at the moment, get in there before the tax goes up

Starting to get nervous now. Not long to go left at work, then heading down a pub with a couple of Villa lads in North London. The advantage being that I can actually wear my colours and not fear the wrath of insane 1970's knuckledraggers.

Cyclists in London. And I don't even drive.

What a stupid question. A bear doesn't have preference as to where it does it's business.

Blimey, that RedCafe place is bonkers.

Just clicked on another thread to be nosey, and there's 13 pages where the original question was why Irish people don't support Irish clubs and it's decended into infighting about "I'm more Manc than you" "Who cares if I'm from London?" blah blah.

Ah, to have the luxury of supporting a club so large that it comes to handbags about who is the biggest fan.

Absolute disaster for United, who no doubt will get the run of the green from the press who will label them heroes for their comeback that covers up the fact they are simply not title contenders at the moment.

We really looked good, I'm chuffed for our young 'uns who put a great shift in. As previously said before the match, I always expect us to lose this one, so a point is a good result.

United will do us. They always do (except the 'breaking of the curse' last season). I basically go in for a loss everytime because of terrible flukes and whatnots over the years. This way I can be quite content if we manage a draw

I thought City's "spending spree was over". Bollocks is it.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy. The Fonz is back. Hopefully.

This isn't in the right topic, but I don't know where else to post it.

If the topic's title was "Don't recommend me a film", I'll go for the day after tomorrow which is on at the moment.

A two hour advert for Rupert Murdoch. Painful.

Here?

Bah, should have noticed that. I'm sure I can come up with some recommendations

No. Not letting Nike take the piss out of us

Off I go guys, Northern line to bank then district to Putney. Look forward to it, hope we actually turn up.

UTV

Give me a shout if anyone gets any further info on this. Currently I'm attempting to stream it through sopcast to my telly with a load of (probably) unimpressed mates as the connection goes down.

My brother is a lucky bastard. Not only does he live in Lisbon, he gets Sport TV, and it's in English.

...or is it West Midlands Police?

I had to listen on the radio to Gabby slotting in the 5th in 2008, and watching the game on MOTD didn't really do justice.

Fair enough, if the old bill move the match to 12pm Sky can't show it, but the game at the Sty is at 12pm as well!! So we're not going to be able to watch EITHER derby game?
