MC Prussian Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Welcome back to the Championship, Wolves. What a great move to sack Mick McCarthy.
ScouseFox Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Roy Hodgson's West Brom take the lead at Anfield.
Fox in the North Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Graham Taylor on 5 live at Molineux: "Wolves keep coming at them but when it comes to getting that pass right, getting that finish right, there are better players in the Manchester City side than the Wolves side." Really?!
Tom17LCFC Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 No. It's not in City's hands. We do people keep saying this? There's a massive game between the two of them that - you'll never guess what - both teams have a say in. Yes, and if City win they go top. I'd say it's more in City's hands than United's. Better GD and a home game against United.
Haydos Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Yes, and if City win they go top. I'd say it's more in City's hands than United's. Better GD and a home game against United. That's having advantage. Nothing to do with control.
ScouseFox Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Stat of the year so far, Roy Hodgson has won the same amount of league games at Anfield this year as King Kenny, one.
Bert Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 It's in United's hands. Not City's. United need 7 points for the title. City need 9. I think Fergie will set United up for the draw next Monday.
Matt Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Man City v Man Utd should be a great game to look forward to, I have a feeling it has bore draw written all over it.
Raw Dykes Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 That's having advantage. Nothing to do with control. Both clubs are now in control of their own destiny. If Man City win all their games, they'll win the title, so it's now in their hands. If Man Utd win all their games, or draw at Man City and win the others, they'll win the title, so it's still in their hands, as well. It's in the hands of both of them. Neither side has to rely on results outside of their own control.
Guesty Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Quite pleased for Roy Hodgson. If he had a big personality Anfield would have given him far more of chance. I also think he'd be given more support for the England job. Tactically he is very good, just on camera he's boring and unappealing to the media. Love the fact Liverpool fans are starting to see what we all knew, that King Kenny was not the answer to there problems. He needs to change his nickname to Emperor because a King would be close to losing his head..
Fox92 Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Tevez was great today, best City player in my opinion. That quick free kick which led to the goal was quick thinking, and just another attribute that seperates the best players from the rest. Also, loved the Everton match. For some reason I went mental when they made it 4-4. I'd rather City win the league. I've been fed up with United fans since I can remember.
StanSP Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 It's in United's hands. Not City's. United need 7 points for the title. City need 9. I think Fergie will set United up for the draw next Monday. Hope not. Not a fan of teams playing to draw. Would much rather they win and to do so at City would be icing on the cake for Utd.
Raw Dykes Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 I really hope Man City win the title. They've been the underdog in that city for such a long time, and I've got on well with every Man City fan I've met. Most Utd fans are plastic and are totally clueless. Add to that Utd fans have enjoyed way, way, way more than their fair share of success over the years. It's about time City had some of their glory, and I hope this will just be the start of the blue half of Manchester's dominance over the red half. Looking forward to seeing what happens to all those glory-grabbing twats.

AyewJoking Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Yeah, chucking a billion pounds at the team is the way to go about it. Really got to respect them for that. Its not as if Man City went looking for multi-billionaire owners to buy them.
Leicesterpool Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 I'm putting my money on Megson turning up at Wolves next season, that won't go down well there.
Kitchandro Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Yeah, chucking a billion pounds at the team is the way to go about it. Really got to respect them for that. I know people will say that but that's not the fans' fault, they are the real Manchester City, not the owners or the team. For such a large fanbase they've been through a lot of shit to the extent we can relate to them over the last 30 years, with their yo-yo existance and demise to league 1. They've been loyal and deserve some success. Man Utd fans have had no suffering whatoever since the 80s (and even then it was only relative suffering, they were still in the top division). Not only is Leicester full of plastic Man Utd fans (who are almost always smug twats), but the real Utd fans from Manchester have always come across as extremely arrogant. Plus we've spent a load of money and I don't think that defines us a club, so I don't really mind if that's what they do. It's the only way to be as good as they are in this day and age.
Guesty Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Just watched Terry O'Conner's post-match interview on BBC website. Got to feel sorry for him there with his eyes welling up trying to defend his team. He's one of the only people that comes out of that debacle with any credit. Obviously a coach and not a manager, wonder if they'll keep him on if/when they get a new manager.
Raw Dykes Posted 22 April 2012 Posted 22 April 2012 Yeah, chucking a billion pounds at the team is the way to go about it. Really got to respect them for that. If you're trying to make me feel sorry for Man Utd and their fans, you can forget it. Maybe it is unfair that Man City suddenly have limitless resources, but at the same time, it's hardly fair that Man Utd just happened to be top of the pile when the Premiership was formed and global communication reached the point that it meant they attracted fans and their cash from all over the world. There was a time when football in this country was played on a much more level playing field, and nearly any club could hope to get to the top one day, if for only a short time. That all changed, and we were left with watching the same few clubs win the top league title year in, year out. If it had carried on like that, we would have been heading for our own version of the SPL - a small pond with two big fish and a load of minnows. I'm glad that's all changing again. Admittedly, I'd prefer it if this could happen through other means than other clubs winning the lottery of billionaire investors, but if it leads us back to a more level playing field and a more competitive league again, then I'm all for it.

Had he gone somewhere else, lower down like Keith Curle he might have been a success

To be fair Terry Conner always looks like he's about to burst into tears when he's being interviewed.
