7 draws in a row, two more for the record Mr. BJ. :)

How many points did you get at Anfield james :D

Tevez was you best player on the weekend I thought.

Yep, I concur. Our game totally changed when he came on.

A better question would be how many points did we get in our last 7 games mate... easy to calculate your total. :D

It may be a better question in your United tinted specs. But in my City tinted specs, I'm quite satisfied with my original question :D

I hope this proves right. We need to get out of this spell of drawing.

From skysports:-

Hughes - Robi can prove key

City boss believes returning Brazilian can unlock defences after spate of draws

Mark Hughes has sung the praises of Robinho ahead of the Brazilian's return to action against Hull City on Saturday.

The £32.5million record British signing has been out for three months after suffering a stress fracture of an ankle on World Cup duty for Brazil in Argentina.

Hughes is delighted the player is back as he bids to halt a run of six successive Premier League draws which has seen the Light Blues slip off the title pace.

He said: "Robinho is an outstanding player.

"If anyone is out for a long period sometimes you can forget how accomplished they are.

"Having worked with him this week and seen him back in the group, we can see the qualities that he can bring to the side.

"We are delighted that he is back and fit and well because he will have a real influence for us this year I am sure."

Hughes believes Robinho could have been the key to unlocking defences in the recent spate of draws.

He added: "He could have turned some of those draws into victories.

"If you get him into key areas he is one of the best in the world with his ability at close quarters.

"It is something we have lacked when teams have tried to come and frustrate us."

There has been much recent speculation that the Brazilian could be on the move, with Barcelona seen as his preferred destination, but Hughes wants Robinho to now make the headlines on the pitch.

He added: "Robinho is a guy that generates comment and since he has been out with his injury the news has clearly not been about what he is doing on the pitch.

"Instead it is about what might happen and comments about his future, more often than not from people without any valid insight.

"What we have to accept with Robinho is that he is a big name in the world of football and people feel the need to write stories about him on a regular basis."

It was the corresponding fixture last season which saw Phil Brown's controversial half-time team-talk when the visitors were four goals down, going on to lose 5-1.

The Tigers boss has been much criticised by some for his actions but Hughes does not believe Brown deserves to be pilloried for trying something different.

"Phil obviously felt it was something he needed to do," said Hughes.

"If it had got the desired reaction it would have been viewed as a masterstroke.

"But it didn't turn around the game and as a consequence it has been thrown back at him more times than he would have wanted.

"Half-time is one of those periods when a manager can have an influence and I do not believe you should be criticised for taking a different approach."

I enjoy reading this thread. Can't remember the name of the team you guys support but it's all good stuff. My team, Wiggan, doesn't rate a thread. Wonder why? I think I'm their last fan on earth.

You are more than welcome to open up your own Wigan thread. I am sure that there will be plenty of people willing to contribute to it, including our very own number one Spurs fan Mr Singh. :)

I'm a Man City fan, Mouse and Toady and BigT are Man United.

Went against my better judgment and picked you guys to blow away Hull 4-1. Oh well, what's another draw? :)

The wins are about as frequent as Tevez goals. :) Looks like Rolf Harris is having the desired effect at City now. :D

Maybe james...maybe not.

From skysports:-

Hughes ponders United team

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes says Sir Alex Ferguson will face a selection dilemma ahead of the two sides' Carling Cup semi-final.

The fierce rivals will go head-to-head over two legs in January for a place at Wembley after both teams won their quarter-final clashes.

A weakened United side saw off Tottenham 2-0 and City breezed past a youthful Arsenal thanks to a Carlos Tevez-inspired 3-0 win.

Ferguson has tended to field fringe players and youngsters during the competition, but Hughes suspects that will change given the size of the match.

The United boss hinted he will stick with his youngsters, although Hughes pointed to a Carling Cup semi-final three years ago against his former club Blackburn when the experienced manager fielded his star players.

That team included the likes of Ryan Giggs, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney.

"Sir Alex never used to play weakened sides in the competition," Hughes said. "I seem to recall during my time at Blackburn they were a pretty strong side in the semi-final.

"We will have to wait and see. That is his decision."

Additionally james, all this about a weakened team is a tad over exagerated IMO. Yes there a few changes but look at the squad he played the other night, the majority are established first team players.

Tomasz Kuszczak

Gary Neville

Wes Brown

Ritchie de Laet

Nemanja Vidic

Park Ji-Sung

Darron Gibson

Dimitar Berbatov

Gabriel Obertan

Danny Welbeck

Anderson
