Nonsense - the CWC was the 2nd most important Euro-Trophy after the EC - which is why the winners of those two competitions played for the Euro Super Cup - the winners of the UEFA cup didn't. AND you had to have won a cup to get into the CWC but qualified for the UEFA by being a 'runner up' aka a loser.* *The fact that The Irons also won the CWC but never the UEFA has had no bearing on this post.

very funny (don't pretend you don't know what I mean) Great for the club, the players (who seem to have got some heart back) and the fans, and... ...and my "cognitive dissonance" has gone up to 11 - I feel like a vegan stuffing his face with bacon.

Tho' I do think IH is a good choice/fit for the Sarf Lahndan mob - pro tem.

You're right RD but the problems started a long long time before the injuries - right about when Downing was signed and no striker was. I feel too that Cardiff is last chance but worry that - by law of averages or Cardiff having a bad day - a win will prolong the agony - and yet I want a win - and yet that'll keep him at the club - but I want a win - it's a footy catch 22. I accept a new man may not keep us up but at least the rebuild could start earlier. 'bout now's earlier post sums it up for me.

Y'see fabfor? I told you it wouldn't work.* *Forecasts available at reasonable rates.** **Predicts some will not believe me and think I am taking the piddle - oh you poor, lost souls flailing in the darkness*** ***Special sceptics offer - 2 forecasts for a tenner.

Bloody Cheats! That girl at the front is cup-tied, she played in the Spurs defence in the last round.

Dog's right - I've been watching news programmes all my life and I've never known moaning this bad.

Oh, and Dzeko? - knob.

Tbh for a sec and to dodge the BFS elephant in the room - most of the players should be ashamed of themselves after this - not fit to wear the c&b - Adrian apart - two batterings in a row and he's our MOTM both times! I hear there are lots of tickets available for the second leg!

No it's fine *sips new Gold-Sullivan Kool Aid* Sam knows best *sips* Big Sam *sips* Big Bluff Sam *sips* Great man to have in a crisis *sips* You can see the team are behind him *sips* Not lost the dressing room - never *sips* only the first leg *sips* still only 5-0 *sips* and we got a kick a minute ago *sips and begins to feel drowsy... Where are you nurse...?

Oh I see the tactic now... Don't get tight, don't tackle, walk don't run and let karma take over - let ManC do what they want for 80 minutes then nail 'em! Ha ha ha, Man City can't see they're falling into a carefully laid trap.

That's about right BR - if BS (are you two related?) ordered a 'park-the-bus' scenario he'd probably have them parked end on like this (instead of across the goal) and with bloody great gaps in between :) We might surprise you - Joe Cole's already put the ref down to show him not to get any ideas - now how's that counter attack plan going...? 11 minutes in... plenty of time for a comeback now that City will get complacent...

When I gave up smoking I used the sprays for a while but they were harsh and unpleasantly 'minty' so just gritted teeth and whined a lot. 21 months smoke free so far.

Now I don't want to be pernickety and it may be because it was their 25p/wing night (every Tuesday) but visited the Flying Pig again tonight - 8pm and it was standing room only.

If Rio & Carrick are now seen as over the hill/surplus to requirements could you send them back now you've finished with them?

I thought he was giving it the elbow for the wheelbarrows full of cash he'll get doing 'The Gilded Age' for NBC.

So we can discuss them as they've 'ceased to be' - a lot of that kind of thing on the forum lately...
