Who is the ref?

We'd need Nigel Kennedy as the ref to have a chance in this one.

We cannot play posesssion football.

We tried it under Houllier and the players didnt like it, so they rebelled. So Houllier tried to get rid of these players and bring in players that can keep the ball like Makoun, unfortunatly in my opinion Houllier hasnt benn able to carry on and we have got Mcleish.

Now all our players are happy because they are back to hoof and run football, which is a real shame for us fans.

I fear this will be exposed more than ever today against a top side.

Off the Premier League website...

Manchester City v Aston Villa (Kick-off 3pm)

Referee: A Taylor. Assistants: D Bryan, A Halliday
Fourth Official: L Mason
Match Delegate: S Howey
PGMO: J Worrall

Now the only A Taylor on the Premier League list is Anthony Taylor, who is from Manchester.
No need to worry though - he's from the Withe n Shaw area so he's bound to be one of us!

Big fan of Richard Dunne but him and Collins are gonna get destroyed today with Warnock and Hutton likely to give away a penalty. City will move the ball about with great little runs and its not our defenses forte to defend against pace

Bloke with a whistle, usually wears black.

It was before we adopted black socks.

Both Bent and Gabby are 9/1 to score first. However good Man City are, those are pretty good odds.
