Same. I thought he was unfortunate to get the push, same as Hughton, but you can't argue with the results or performances under Hodgson since.

Been watching sky sports news this afternoon. They have been going around the country asking about roy hodgson and its 50/50 around the country and then they get to liverpool and hmmmmm!!

I'm surprised Dalglish hasn't come out and said he wants the England job.

Love that Alexander video.

I've just seen Barmby has been suspended from Hull for this:

A couple of journalists on the radio today have stated that Arry has been a success everywhere he has ever been. I think I must have imagined a spell at southampton or is it inconvenient to forget the truth.

As for comparing Hodgson with Kenny even forgetting the cups, the fact is that Kenny is a legend at the club and because of that you get a bit more credit in the back and a bit more time. This isnt anything specific to liverpool, Chelsea fans would be the same if Zola was the manager, Newcastle fans gave Shearer an easy ride when he was a manager. I also dont understand the need to categorise liverpools season as good or bad. Surely thats too simplistic to look at a season. To me liverpool have been good in the cups but not good enough in the league, this makes it a mixed season. Some teams I think will go forward and others regress, to be honest Im 50/50 with liverpool but dont think that would merit making a change at the top.

Predctions for the derby game?? Im going for a cagy 0-0 draw.

2 0 city

United to win title after newcastle draw against city.

[thetime]

It was actually the chairman who came out and first said Dalglish had wanted the job. Sorry to ruin another conspiracy theory.

[strummer77]

Not like you to be so defensive strummer! Must reaslise daglish isn't all his cracked up to be. Be interesting what he does in europe next season because as a manager he done nothing.

[thetime]

Haha. Just don't like the myths being passed round as fact in a bid to slag a man off.

But yeah, he's never really managed in Europe so will be interesting... Depends who comes in during the summer though. As for not all cracked up to be, weren't you suggesting we should give everyone 5 years earlie

Sorry if this has been posted, stolen from the football ramble. Blackburn fan runs into Steve Kean in Greggs.

Tevez to inevitably score the winner tonight.

[The Nal]

3-1 Citeh.

Aguero, Tevez, Aguero.

Red card for a Utd player.

But Utd have been doing this for 20 years so Im being conservative with my prediction.

Believe!!

Blackburn fan runs into Steve Kean in Greggs.

Under rdm west brom fans were up in arms and wanted him out, in the end they were basically going down and he didnt have a clue what to do(not my opinion but wba fans).

[G-Stud]

Raging. Trying to watch the City v Utd game on the xbox. Turns out Sky can't handle any amount of traffic. FFS. Looks like I might have to head down the pub - not that I'd usually complain, but I was settled down dammit!!

[strummer77]

Man to man marking is crap.

[Ed209]

City where great tonight! There's to lose now! Said at start of the season only city where good enough to beat City this season and still stand by that...

[pink_triangle]

Im glad city won, over the season man utd havent been good enough to deserve a coronation with 2 games to go. Newcastle away is tough but winnable as their season has been built on being very consistent against the average and poor sides, but not great against the good ones.

I thought city were fantastic in defence, even Lescott who doesnt always convince me was impressive. I thought Man Utds midfield looked really tired, watching Yaya in the second half I kept thinking how much they could do with a player like him.

[thetime]

Well my prediction was spot on, now come on newcastle get that champions league spot.

[strummer77]

Yaya was wonderful and Clichy was very good I thought. Not over yet but what a massive week that's been in the title race.

Not said it much this season but we missed vidic!

Bit of a tactical error by fergie playign park instead of welbeck.

Where was Evans tonight? I know he was shit against Everton but still... And yeah thought Park was an odd one. I saw his record when playing this season has been pretty dreadful and Wellbeck's been on form. Mind you, sure you can forgive the old bastard for the odd mistake!

Two big games left, though I have a feeling one side might bottle it next week. No idea which.

[strummer77]

Still think united will win league, even the goal difference isnt beyond us if we rattle 2 or 3 in the first half agaisnt swansea.
