I'll see your Babel and raise you a Hunter

I'll throw Casillas and Bent in for myself.

The idea of the game is not to defeat yourself Coop

You aren't very good at this

Robinho has been injured and allegedly wants away..logic would say to pick Bellamy more often at the moment.

You forget that Robinho was good for them last season. He is coming from an injury, and by playing him Mancio did the right thing.... It is critical for City to keep players like Robinho in the squad, coz players of his stature will attract more stars to believe in and join the ambitious City project. By showing confidence in him in his first game as coach, Mancio made an important statement IMO.

Mancio knows how to manage stars with big expectations/ambitions. And Mancio can handle pressure quite well, contrary to what most people in england think. There may be coaching jobs more prestigious than Inter's out there, but there is no job with more pressure than the one at Inter. Look at Mou now, he looks like he is about to break apart anytime now. Mancio lasted over 3 years before he cracked up momentarily.

Casillas who is having a mare of a season..and Bent who is having a blinder..both of which I predicted.

Yes, I can see why you would think that wasnt very good.

But then golf is the most popular sport in the world.

borocooper wrote:Bent who is having a blinder...

Yeah he is inspiring Sunderland to midtable mediocrity, a whole 5 points from the relegation zone

I dont suggest he is the Sunderland team as a whole COTR. What sort of retard would think that?

But he scores alot of goals and has been performing very well.

Sure if you equate a tap in every now and again as a meaningful contribution to a game then sure, he is having a blinder of a season. Forget about all the poor results and performances.

A blinder

I see, so by that logic Torres isnt very good and Gerrard is abysmal.

Pwned.

Sunderland are under-performing badly, lets be honest. Cattermole has been the only noticeable injury, so not many excuses for it either.

borocooper wrote:I see, so by that logic Torres isnt very good and Gerrard is abysmal.

This season obviously they have been abysmal

But if you want to compare Torres and Gerrard's all round contributions in a game to Darren 'Blinder' Bent then who am I to stop you Coop

Are they underperforming? Really? 10th in the league isnt especially bad for a club with a new manager.

Its actually Darren "Dazzling" Bent.

Who is quite clearly having a very good season. I realise you never admit when you're wrong though so im not expecting you to here.

Bent - First full season, got a number of games for Ipswich...Ipswich were relegated.

Bent - Relegated with Charlton who before him were a consistent top 10 team for the most part, and a decent outfit under Curbishley.

Bent - In a relegation scrap with Tottenham a team aiming to break the top 4 usually....Redknapp plays Bent less much to his annoyance...Spurs finish strongly

Bent - New team starts well...then 1 win in 11....now looking to avoid a relegation scrap.

I see a pattern

I am now referring to him as Blinder Coop after him providing the inspiration for Sunderland's wonderful run of 6 points in their last 10 league games

He is your type of striker Coop. Him and the Hunter

I like alot of strikers Cotter

I believe Torres to be a good striker, Drogba to be the best. Im also a fan of Eto'o and Wayne Rooney.

You on the other hand. Babel and Golf.

I do believe I can now retire from this debate victorious

Have a good night mate

You're confusing retiring victorious with running away like a coward Cotter.

Just like you did in the golf thread

It is finitoed Coop

We are both in agreement that Blinder has inspired Sunderland to a wretched run of 6 points in ten games.

Much as I would love to repeat this to you all night I think wasting the past half an hour teaching you about Darren Bent is more than enough. We have reached a conclusion therefore THE END.

Cheers Coop

Oh, seems you've also confused retirement with coming back and checking on what is said and then coming out of retirement to make yourself look a bit silly.

They Spent £30mil (over £10mil net) with another £9mil committed if targets are met this summer.

They should really be up there with Fulham.

Fulham who are 5pts up with a game in hand. Quite a huge gap in this most topsy-turvy of seasons.

and something that could change in 3 games..

You'd think with all the money Spurs spend..and how shit and overhyped all the Arsenal players are that Spurs would be up there with them, and yet no. They're a massive unattainable 4 points+game in hand away.

I did once, live on this forum, correctly predict what channel 4 would have as the top 5(maybe even 10 I cant remember) comedians in their top 100 show.

So its possible.
