Update: 11 Minutes

Dong misses easy chance

Steele with a long kick out that clears the defence and lands to an unmarked dong who is clean through coming in at an angle. The keeper comes out and Dong tries to pick his spot from the corner of the 6 yard box and the keeper saves.

Rossi was also greatly placed and if squared it could have been a tap in.

Tempted to go to Oxford actually. Could go straight from the airport on monday back to my parents' house which is only 20 miles or so from the Kassam. Be worth it just to see their comedy stadium again.

Brian Kerr's wains. Incidentally that's the squad that won the European Championships. Horrifyingly, I think that bastard Ian HOOF Rossiter is the one with the most League titles out of that lot.

For £5 mill I wouldn't mind him but there is no way he would come to us & sit on the bench. Whenever I have seen him I always thought he was a good striker, nothing special but a decent player.

His goalscoring record in Italy is way better than I thought it was though. I don't want him signing for us though. Seems to much like Saha for my liking & if I signs I thinks it's either/or than both of them playing together.

talking bout first games and such. my first game i cant remember who we played but we won and the atmosphere icon_eek.gif it blew me away, it always does.

worst game i went to but funniest was the porto one when the knocked us out of the CL and a scholes goal was disallowed icon_mad.gif the fans (me included) started chanting "The referees a ******!!!" icon_biggrin.gif

i went to the city game when we won 4-2 a few years ago, were neville got sent off for head butting someone. then at the end we were chanting "10 Men! 10 Men and you still ****ed it up!"

icon_biggrin.gif oh the good times... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I don't think you can be considered a top central midfielder unless you can stamp your authority on a game, whether that's in an attacking or defensive capacity. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Maybe we have different definitions, but I don't think a player needs to stamp his authority on a game to be a big influence. Makelele does lots of little things that nobody notices, yet is hugely influential, same with Gilberto. Yet I wouldn't consider that either stamp their authority in the same way as Gerrard, for instance. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

we obviously do have different definitions. For me, being a big influence is stamping your authority on a game, regardless of whether you do it by getting tackles in or running the game by your passing and creativity, or a combination of the two. It's not about neccessarily running all over the pitch a la Gerrard. To me your definition of Carrick was correct, quietly efficient and effective, but he needs something more to be a top player. He drifts in and out of the game too much, and the game seems to dictate what he does rather than the other way round.

Of course it's still early days, both in him settling in with us and that he's got time to improve his game, i'm not writing him off.

Wrong and yes. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

So you'd have preferred us to have kept Ruud, him having scored a sackful in the premiership and in europe, but nobody else scoring, with us not being in the title race at all by now and already being out of Europe?

Being your reserve player of the year for a couple of years probably better than that? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm not basing his game on the reserve league. I'm basing it on how fb he was in Italy.

When ever his team mates actually gave him the ball, he did somthing brilliant for the team.

It's just my opinion that i'd rather stick with Rossi than by another play of his kind in.
