Today, I remembered that Coutinho provided one assist and scored twice against Barca while he was on loan at Bayern. That made me smile.

Pearce had Jon Macken on the bench, who was an actual £5m striker (a poo poo one, but it's City) who was overlooked for bringing on Nicky Weaver and sending David James up front wearing a pre-printed outfield shirt, which would suggest that this was a tactical plan that Pearce had thought of before the game

I can see the logic if it's his last game for the club and you want to do it as a laugh, or even if there's three minutes to go and you're just loading balls into the box to try and get a head on it, but City actually needed to win and instead he mainly wandered around the edge of the box and flailed about in a way likely to injure himself or an opponent, as was the style at the time

In the same way Pep is allergic to players who aren't midfielders, Pearce was allergic to goals

The funniest part about David James coming on as a striker in a must win game is that despite being absolute dogshit he won a penalty that real striker Robbie Fowler then missed

Sex ghost mentioning Wigan in another thread made me think of Amir Zaki banging em in for fun that one season on loan there, then he refused to come back after international duty and Steve Bruce said he was “the most unprofessional player” he’s ever dealt with.

The players will respect him. He’s a big man. He’s Big Sam. You see him on the television, he fills the screen. You are looking for the board with the sponsors names behind. Where have they gone? You can’t see them.

Coventry City announcing via the official website that Marlon King had "verbally agreed" to a new contract whilst on holiday in Dubai, King's agent pretty much immediately releasing a statement saying "no he has not and it's very unprofessional to make these announcements before any formal agreement has been signed", then two days later King signed for Birmingham.
