When Jose Mourinho had total control over him and beat him up every time he messed around the he was a very good player.



But apart from that he's never produced..



His contract is coming up for renewal, he's supposed to want parity with players like Balack and Essien. He doesn't deserve that. Chelsea don't seem to be offering what he wants, so he's possibly going to be available.



He was dire yesterday. His stupid, pointless stepovers were dealt with easily by Championship players. He did nothing and was subbed at half time.



Because he's English, a seemingly likeable bloke and it's obvious he wants to succeed the Chelsea supporters are desperate for him to come good, but personally I don't see him ever coming good.



I'd be delighted if he went to Citeh or Liverpool, on big money. Unless he improves sgnificantly then he's not worth a place in the England squad. I'd probably choose Walcott for the squad over Cole, and if Walcott gets another undeserved squad place I'll be going down Wembley to smash up the FA's offices.

I'd probably take him. We lack English players and we lack players in the wider areas. He's not amazing, but, on a free, he'd be a decent signing.

28000 at city yesterday despite reduced prices and being 3 games away from Wembley.



Manchester is blue.

Keith Harris has said the funds are in place for the buy out of Manchester United in the summer but now it's upto the fans to force Glazer to sell by not renewing season tickets etc etc. Could be an ineresting few months for us

Bus drivers must have been on strike in Stockport

Joe Cole is a superb little player, if it wasn't for his injury he'd still be in the England side

He seems to be highly rated, not seen anything of Kjaer though. Any good?

Nice to hear Neil Warnock is still the biggest, sourest and most tasteless prick in football management.

He was bang on about the corner.

A human being made an error. There is no need need for his "I hope he gets suspended" comment.

Players and managers are often asked to explain their comments or behaviour, Warnock's point was why don't officials. He does have a point, if a ref cocks up he should miss a week or be demoted down a division.



I don't agree with Warnock all the time but, he felt angry about it and had a point, however for making that point he could end up with a fine, which is wrong.

Yeah, we were after him long before he went to Palermo. Pretty sure he claimed to be a Liverpool fan not too long ago, but I'm sure in the same interview he said his support of Liverpool wouldn't stop him playing for United, or something along those lines.

I haven't seen the incident, but reading match reports it seems that it was two players going up for a header, the lino thought it came off a Palace players head so he awarded a corner. TV replays suggest it came off the Villa player.



IMO that happens roughly 5 times a game. It's extremely hard to make that decision so refs and linos are obviously going to make mistakes. You just get over it and defend the corner properly and there's no problem. If your side don't defend properly and let a goal in you can cry like a baby.



Managers are under clear instructions not to slag off officials post match. Warnock has done that. He chucked his dummy out of the pram and the toys followed. He deserves a fine. The limo may have made an error, but it's likely to have been an honest error. Warnock made a decision to slag off the lino after the game. He alluded to having to pay a huge fine if he used the words he wished to use about the lino, he called him incompetent and called for him to be banned for a long time. Warnock's error is far, far larger than the lino.

Uncle Malc will no doubt try sign him. He can join Owen, Hargreaves, Neville, Rio and Vidic in the physio room.

Vidic and Anderson have not travelled to Meelan.

Squirming little $hit.

Bob on

It wasn't two players going up for a header, it was fairly clear cut. He did not know what to give so just pointed for the corner.



Warnock refrained from saying they were robbed/cheated but still said more than he wishes he had i'd imagine. Yet the players can scream, swear and abuse the refs all they like and nothig happens. What do the FA expect, the players do as they like as do the refs yet a manager says one wrong word and they want to fine him. It's laughable.

What we should be doing is trying to sign Everton's physio - he's done wonders with Louis "Made of Biscuits" Saha since he went there!!

To be fair to the officials, at real speed it looks as though the keeper has got the last touch. You have to see it again from a different angle in slow-mo, with freeze frame on the actual contact of the ball to see that it came off the Villa player's head. Impossible to call really. I thought it was a corner to start with, the ITV commentators didn't see the incident either.



Warnock should be more concerned at his defence allowing Petrov to roam freely into the box to win the header. The administrators will be happy anyway.

Indeed was a joke he got sent off in the first place it was 50/50 ball and went fully commited to win the ball not to injure Pederson, still atleast its been overturned as hes been one of our best players in the last few weeks
