    Beckham Left Out of Olympic Squad

    Not everything Robbie says is necessarily right, but can anybody be in doubt about the Beckham ego whether Robbie says so or not? His ego and need to be one of the 1st involved in any England goal celebrations would suggest different. I admire your manly love of Becks though, it's nice some...

    Beckham Left Out of Olympic Squad

    I couldn't agree more. Didn't Robbie Fowler say something similar in his book about Beckham running quickest to get to the goalscirer when England scored. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?bb2sn4

    Beckham Left Out of Olympic Squad

    Correct decision. Beckham is well past his best and who cares about the work he put in to help us win the Olympics, the participants should be picked on merit and nothing else. I can't believe people are questioning Pearce because he hasn't chosen Beckham? Some people need to realise there is...

    2 games gone (old thread)

    I recall on an old CCFC forums somebody wanting to bet me a grand that City would win promotion back to the Premiership before we were relegated. I told him is willingly put a grand up to somebody trusted, but he didn't get back to me. I also recall a guy called Supermac on the same forums who...

    Richard Shaw

    The thing is, I'm not judging his coaching credentials because he may turn out to be a good coach, and I hope he does. I've said all I need to about my opinion of his playing ability. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?ulgacg

    I'd like to add, I'm not against his appointment as assistant to Thorn. He may or may not be a good appointment, I'm just glad he's no longer on the pitch. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?pihudg

    As I said, it was based around the "team". If you can't see that some players play better alongside a player of lesser ability that's for you to deal with. Hadji is a better player than Palmer, but McCallister wasn't half the player when he played alongside Hadji that he was with Palmer. If the...

    Football is a team game, and McCallister was a better player for us once we signed Carlton Palmer. The person asked for the best team, so I gave my best team. If they had asked for the best individuals then Palmer may not have been mentioned. Once again, genius lost on the lesser minded. --- I...

    who are your all time best city 11 ?

    GK Oggy RB Nilsson CB Kilcline CB Babb LB Pearce RM Bennett CM McCallister CM Palmer LW Froggat CF Hartson CF Keane. It's difficult because I rated Peake as much as Kilcline, but I've tried to pick a team where one persons talent compliments another. Now I've put my team down I've...

    Mark Lawrenson..........

    I like Roy Keane. Hated him as a player but I like his opinions because he tells things as he sees them, which I appreciate.

    Opinions of past players...

    A) He was better in midfield, okay in defence but always liable to drop a bollock. I was never 100% happy with him at the back. B) I didn't mind Telfs because he never hid. He always wanted the ball and never gave less than his all. C) I must have seen a different Marcus Hall to the guy who...

    Not really, I tend to find if a Coventry fan rates a player he is often not much good. I remember the natives chanting "sign him up" when Lee Mills made his debut on loan. I don't need peer approval to form my opinion, just as I couldn't care less for the silly insults. I recall plenty of...

    Richard Shaw

    Not quite. Le Tissier only played for Southampton, but he was regularly linked with the top sides, because he had talent and ability. Imagine that, wanting your team to have better players. In future I'll not bother and I will hero worship players the standard of Shaw instead. And you wonder...

    Richard Shaw

    Maybe I have it wrong then? If I have and Shaw was this great player, why did no big club come in with a huge bid for a man of such talent? I can't believe a man this talented only ever plied his trade at clubs like Palace, Coventry an Millwall. Sounds to me as though the managers at clubs like...

    Richard Shaw

    Season ticket holder before Shaw arrived and for many seasons while he was here. Maybe my issue is I like dominant centre backs who can win headers, and mean to win headers. I can't believe some are so easily fooled/pleased. But yes, because I don't rate him I must be 15 and only seen him on...
