League Cup Final: Man Yoo 2 Aston Villa 1

Thank God!

One down and 2 more to go. Given our recent successes, I guess this is the minimum requirement for us.

Only bloat would be Lil Mickey Owen doing his hamstring in and being out for the season. Wazza is still bang on form though so that's good.

Well done boys!

Another blow!

What a see saw season. We were within a point and then this! 6 losses already this year!

Still don't feel we have a good enough squad. Some have grown old, others have not blossomed as they should...... except for Wazza who is now dragging us to the finish line! If we win, this will be the most challenging yet!

Arse 1 ManYoo 3 - Don't wake me up....

It's been a good few weeks! And hat's off to Sir. Early day's yet but the number 17 he signed in the Jan transfer window seemed to be the signing of the window so far....

God is a Red Devil

I had a strange dream last night. I dreamt I was having a conversation with God. He somehow gave me the impression that he had a wickedly sick sense of humour. He also told me that he now lives in Manchester. I distinctively remember that I saw he had a Red top under his white robes. And he told me his favourite pastime was fcuking around with Citeh fans...

Lowest point of the season?

Losing to our noisy neighbours must be a new low this season. Given the recent forms of both teams it was no surprise but it still a bitter, bitter pill to swallow.

Worst was the fact that the money grabbing cunt score the 2 goals. I used to like him because he played like he actually gave a fcuk. But over the past few months, he had acted like a total prick and has been talking shit.

Overall our play wasn't the best last night (can't even remember the last time we played well!) but @ least the last 15mins or so the guys played like they gave a fcuk and we went close on a few occasions.

May be clutching @ straws but what else can I do?

Citeh Scum

*sigh* I can't even laugh at this!

With our impending meltdown, I can't even muster a snigger at this...!

Stuttering and stuttering

This week, we can thank the weather gods and a sympathetic Brum player that we're still within touching distance of Chelski in the league and we're not out of the League Cup.

Shits me that Carlito is now bang on form with Citeh and we're struggling to hit the barn door.

It looks like the Glazers are going to bankrupt us anyway so why not go out with a bang and just buy! buy! buy!

This would be great!!!!

Is this the answer?

Our inability to ruthlessly finish has been highlighted this season by the absence of Ronaldo although it had been the case since RVNs departure. When Ronnie was around, his 30 to 40 goals a season masked over that problem but we no longer have him to weave his magic for us now.

Rooney and Wazza are not very effective in the box and we were hoping Owen would do us the job. But as this season drags on, the problem is more obvious then ever and guess this is why we are now linked with the HULK.

Have not seen much of the Hulk except for the CSL games against United and he looked quick and strong there. I do have my doubts as I don't feel that there is enough proof that he will be a sucess with us.

My personal preference would actually be either Luis Fabiano who has proved himself at all levels with Sevilla and Brazil or my personal favuorite, Edin Dzeko, the Wolfsberg hitman who was on fire last season and seems to have carried that form this year as well. He's a big lad that will probably strive on the robust nature of the EPL and is also deadly in the box.

Hope Sir can convince the Glazers to spend some of the Ronaldo money on one of these guys!

F@#$k! What the hell is going on!?

WTF!? Another defeat! And this time against our bitter rivals from 2 divisions down!

Was hoping that the thrashing of Wigan last week would spell the endof our poor form but then this happens.

There is no excuses for this defeat. Leeds are 2 divisions down and we weren't exactly playing the reserves either.

The main problem was probably the central midfield area. Gibson and Ando are NOT a good pairing. ando tried his best and was great and breaking up attacks but going forward, he was dire. He probably can't hit a barn door from 2 yards. Gibson was and is a waste of space. The onlt thing he offers is his long distance shooting and that wasn't on show last nite.

The guys on the flanks weren't much better either. Welbeck is a foward and was totally ineffective on the flanks. He also looked lightweight so maybe a loan a few divisions down might help him build some bulk. Obertan had his worse game with us so far. Giving the ball away cheaply and not going forward enough. I feel dirty for saying this but Nani may have been the better choice!

Upfront, we still need that out and out striker. Berba and Wazza are dropping too far back and LMO has just enough time on the pitch to fluff his lines.

Hope Sir is lying about not buying in Jan...
