History of the way the Sky Blues operate tells us that we will lose tonight, unless the announcement of a new manager is made today. If that happens we will play like men possessed and win quite easily, with the new manager watching from the stands. If no announcement tonight we will be feeling...

I wish they would just put down one. That would then have meant Paul Ince had been shot in some mercy killing.

Cheers, Ed.

It's now down to two. Ince and Robins. Has to be Robins surely.

Is that where Adam Barton goes when he disappears after about 60 mins every game?

Stand out player? Err .... none of them. None of them capable of playing for the whole 90 mins either. Reckon you'll have a spell of at least 25 mins when you're well on top.

I refer the honourable gentleman to excuse number 9 above.

1. The grass was too long. 2. The floodlights were a bit dazzling 3. Someone coughed and we lost our marker at the corner that led to the goal 4. Some of the players were a bit cold. 5. McDonald missed the penalty because he had a runny nose 6. We were going to make the substitution on 60...

Tis indeed. Could be a good season for the Bengals.

Won't stop us blaming him though.

Isn't there the famous story of a Scottish player being injured and unconscious and when the physio went on the pitch and revived him, the physio then shouted back to the bench 'He doesn't know who he is!' And the response back from the dug-out was 'Good, tell him he's Pele then!'

One word. Belief.

They haven't tried that tactic for sure. Ince's bit of paper says 'shoot' Thorn's piece of paper said 'triangles' Boothroyd's piece of paper said 'welly it.' And .... Coleman's simply said 'Who's a pretty boy then?'

Don't you mean pretty poor piss?

What, when he writes 'shoot' on a bit of paper you mean? :whistle:

Harder to play though. You'll have to learn the play-book. At least with football and Paul Ince the only thing the team has to learn is 'shoot' and that's it!

He's old school and is accepted as such. Players going to Man U know exactly how it's going to be in advance. Hence my point. If a new manager tries to come in and change things he immediately comes across resentment from players.

You have to think if Alex Ferguson was just starting out in football management today he wouldn't last 5 minutes.

As soon as I heard players talking about "Shawsy" the other day I knew there was a problem with hierarchy and respect and station. It was all matey matey with Thorn too and Coleman and Dowie. :facepalm:

She wasn't firing ping-pong balls covered in Dulux emulsion was she?
