Ian Holloway, manager of the season.

If Blackpool stay up (and at this rate, they will do easily), he's got to get the LMA award, surely.

Terrific win today. Very hard place to go and get a result is the Stadium Of Light.

When do they play Blackpool there?

Bad goal to concede for United, no complaints though as we get our fair share of luck i.e Nani's goal v Spurs. I had to p8ss myself at the small time act at the council house of City showing a league table at full time with them top. This may ne something they do on a regular basis and if so then I apologize. It's like putting a table up after the first game.

Looking at the table and Games still to play before seasons end You could not say who the top 4 will be with any conviction. I hope chelseas miserable run comes to an end soon as a top 4 place is a minimum for Abramovitch and I like carlo.

You just dont get our sense of humour. Its more of a "this is what it could be like" gesture to encourage the faithful rather than anything serious.

Most of the City fans that sit near me are still more interested in where we stand relative to 4th/5th places.

Exactly, on par with putting up a table after one game.

United fans don't have a sense of humour, so it would be difficult for them to comprehend anything like.

Of course we put the table up. In case Mark hasn't noticed (although I'm sure every year's results are deeply chronichled), we haven't had a lot to shout about over the last 34 years and any club outside of the big three, would have showed the table in a similar manner.

The fact that United fans even noticed that the table was shown at the end just goes to prove how much time they spend concerned with what we are doing these days. Now, that's a small time mentality!

Robbie Keane at Everton??....I don't think so and, as an Evertonian, I certainly hope not.

I hope not either but Moyes has said he wants to bring a striker in with no money so we're limited to loans and I can't think of too many strikers better than what we have being available. Anyway, Moyes doesn't like to play strikers at the minute.

30 year old and not played any decent football for almost 2 years, he'd be a total waste of what little money we have....We already have Saha and Yakubu who fit that bill.

Saha I'll give you but if you think Yakubu fits that bill you need to give your head a shake, a waste of money? his first season here, we played football that he thrives off, not long ball shite and he scored 21 goals. great return. It's not his fault our tactics are woeful and so negative that we hardly create chances. He's been our best striker when he's played this season around Stoke and Liverpool home he was superb and for some reason Moyes has decided not to give him a look in. It's all well and good wanting to bring another striker in but Moyes will only play one so if we do sign one he'll probably be warming the bench.

Personally, and its also what I have heard, I would take Bendnter from Arsenal.....Young, hungry and a decent player, he's a Moyes' player.....Take him on loan and then buy in the summer.

Fook right off, Bendtner? why, what would he offer us? he couldn't play the lone front man role with out style of football so it'd be a pointless signing. Why should Bendtner come in and walk straight into our team? I'd rather stick with what we've got.
