Out of world cup?

Pretty good summing up of Man City and their fans views on the season. Thanks 1864. Coming to the Talbot for the buffet?

May I be the first one to say that if he couldn't cope with a couple of dozen reporters camped outside his door, then it's a good job he's turned it down. He wouldn't have lasted.

and that should blow a great big hole in the theory that Todd should be disciplined/sacked/sold because of his behaviour at Brum.

Dave Wagstaffe, Mike Harrison.

None of that says we're burned out. Nor did I say that the players aren't tired. I've no doubt all players at all clubs are tired. All I'm saying is that the reason for the dip in results is nothing to do with burn out, it's to do with form, and form isn't that bad.

Forgot all about her, so no I didn't see her. I'll tell you what though, St Andrews isn't a patch on Ewood. Got a glimpse of the boardroom and it's not in the same class as the oak panelled boardroom at Ewood. Small club, small mentality.

We're not defending well enough. A bit more on the burn out theory mister D?

Teams aren't outrunning us, but we look physically tired? That doesn't make sense. There are reasons why we haven't beaten Liverpool and Brum and tiredness wasn't one of them. We had more of the ball than Liverpool and more of the ball than Brum in the second half. If we had been knackered, we'd have been chasing the ball, not keeping it. Once more - evidence of burn out? It's the same old story, if we lose there's always the "not trying" excuses thrown around. Same with "burn out".

No, I don't watch games. Played well against Liverpool and well second half against Brum. I'll ask again - where's the evidence that teams are out running us?

What a load of cobblers. Burn out! We lost the last two games against Liverpool - where we were done by an offside goal, and Brum - where rovers dictated the second half. Where's the evidence of physical burn out? As for Pedersen going through a bad patch - this is the same Pedersen we've seen week in, week out minus the goals. Some people were blinded by the goals he scored. If he didn't score goals, he wouldn't hold down a place in any prem team.

That would be fun. Gold's such a little squirt as well. Considering he's from a big club.

Wouldn't dare do that Don. As a guest of a company called Black and White who sponsor Brum. Superb it was as well. Seats just behind David Gold and David Sullivan.

Would you want me to see it another way Jim?

Don't know the answer to that Waggy.

OK, apologies Waggy. He was ill last night though.

Waggy, don't you believe me when I say he's ill? Or would you rather make stories up?

Calm down folks. The usual responses on here - if we win we're good, if we lose we're rubbish. For starters, Pongo was ill. Secondly the game - first half rovers weren't great, but nor were Brum, although they did create the best chance of the half and should have gone in at half time ahead. Second half rovers were the team playing the better football and looking more like scoring. Brum got lucky twice. It happens sometimes you know. A wildly miscued shot dropped to Julian Gray and he miscued his shot/cross to Butt who just managed to stab the ball home. The second goal was just as scrappy. Anyone listen to the radio live phone in afterwards? The brum fans knew they were lucky to win it, they thought rovers dominated the second half as well. They all thought Kuqi should have started as well, because they couldn't manage him when he came on. At 1-1 there was always another goal in the game and even though it looked like rovers would get it, it actually went to Brum. It happens sometimes.

Whadya mean, there's no trophies! Might not make the match.

I'm lucky enough to be in a private box for the game, with a ground tour, and free meal and drinks thrown in. Now - any questions for the ground tour guide? --- Where did Robbie sit, Where's the trophy cabinet etc, etc?

As above.

West ham losing, newcastle losing and pompey winning.

If that was right - that as long as you don't touch the ball, you can't be offside, then every team can have three forwards stood offside and chasing the ball. The flag wont go up. The FA should come out and say that referee was wrong. Will they? Will they 'ell. When have the FA been seen to stand up for what's right? All their concerned with is denying the facts.

I wish someone would prove that to me. I've never believed that's the case and never will.
