Think I can remember them in that iteration of themselves but not that particular match!
Yes I was there, One nil down at half time and possibly down to ten men as well, scored three in the second half, It as bloody wet as well.

I actually think Rooney will turn out to be a decent manager in the long-term.
Doesn't mean much coming from you though fair to say? You say league winning managers are crap two seasons in a row?

One is now manager of Bayern and the other Chelsea

Not even trolling. Just wondering if you ever admit you got something wrong or not?

Kompany especially was a weird one to put down. Can kinda understand maresca a bit but even then that was premature.

This predicted final Championship table makes depressing reading for Sky Blues fans:


When you look how far we are behind Oxford United it is a miracle we have beaten them twice.
If Plymouth are doing ok now we must be poor.

The season has only just started. You did this before with Gerrard.

He is a good manager and he's now suffering from getting such a brilliant level of performance out of a relatively ordinary team
Never said he wasn't a good manager did I?

However ordinary? Last season everyone on here was wanking over lutons transfer strategy saying they would win championship if they came back down because it was so smart.

I did and I accepted I got that one wrong. Most managers I have good track record with though

Just funny that people on here slaughtered Kompany for wanting to play football in the prem whilst praising Edwards tactics. One works long term the other perhaps requires some stars to align?

He got the job at Bayern because of his teams style of play end of the day.

Certainly seems determined to make it, would have been easy for him to knock it on the head after Birmingham like many thought he should.

If he continues learning from his mistakes and keeps going he could well become a decent manager.

Tbf to him he did a respectable job at Derby in the hardest circumstances possible.

DC united MLS is a very weird league so I can't even judge him on that.

Birmingham... John Eustace is clearly a better manager, and Rooney had to go in and do better which wasn't going to be achievable. It was actually a very poor Birmingham team anyway that Eustace had managed to get results with.

As you say fair play to him for sticking with it when he really doesn't need to.

Sheff weds getting away with some clear cut yellows here. Refs so inconsistent. Their defender hacks someone down when baggies striker about to be played through on goal and then their striker punches ball into crowd to give them time to reset for a goal kick.

Official robbing Derby of a result here, goal giving,out by at least six inches for sergeant to pull it back for somebody else to tap in, been giving them decisions all half, looks familiar to me!

Shocking decisions at Derby. Two balls blatantly out of play. Still happened to our advantage vs Plymouth last season.
