loved his kick for a goal kick at a few seconds left 
Dunne played relatively well today. He did keep Berbatov fairly quiet.
guess who has just equalled Patrick Vieira and Duncan Fergusons record of 8 red cardsPogue you are forever tarnished, I saw Dunne got a red card and thought immediately of you and this thread.
Dunne has given a whole new meaning of stupid: stupid is as Dunne does
This is great.
I hope this thread will turn out like Remy`s Ronaldo thread.

Surely more like "Stupid is as stupid Dunne"?
Poster of the year
On the same day Vidic was the stalwart upon which we now hold the joint record for most consecutive clean sheets in the league. For shame Pogue, for shame
Yes...
Unbelievably quick
I'm that good
Who knows, perhaps I sat here with this thread open all night, knowing full well Dunne would do something worthy of it being bumped...

That would be unbelievably petty and small-minded of you.
So that's a maybe.

I hadn't seen this thread before. Just read the first page, and I have to congratulate everybody involved on one of the most straight-faced wind-ups ever executed.
Vidic with pace... brilliant!

The commentator on five live said in the first half that Dunne needed to calm down or he'd get sent off.
Meh. I was bladdered and excited after Dunne had played superbly for Ireland. On his day he's a class defender and was superb when City had a decent run last season. Much better than his über-hyped central defensive partner.
Still, the "Vidic with pace" comment isn't my best work and Dunne seems to be hell-bent on becoming the worst drfender in the league, pretty much ever since I started this damn thread.
Of course, the fact he's dragging City through the shit with him more than make up for my redcafe street cred taking a nose-dive. A small price to pay I reckon

he's so over rated. A lump of a player.
It was obvious he would go if he made one more foul after he got the final warning at the end of the first half as he totted up plenty of fouls after his first booking.
Is he Vidic with pace because they both tend to collect red cards?
I admit that I have a soft spot for the man ..........
that is after he scored twice for us vs City in the derby, some years back....

Classic bump Brad!!
His previous few seasons were a lot better than this to be fair. You should do a thread eulogising defenders like Skrtel, Carragher, Toure etc and put a curse on them Pogue.
He's been fantastic this season, best CB in the league so far 09/10?
Probably as good a time as any for me to feck him up, what with the Villa game coming up shortly.
So yeah, he's amazing. Like Vidic with pace.

I agree with much of what Pogue says in his opening post. He is a brilliant defender and up there with the best.
Anyone can laugh at a player when he's not had his best outings. Like Vidic after his performance against Liverpool at Old Trafford last season.

In: Lescott £24 mill.
Out: Dunne £6m
Oh my.

Oh my.
Yeah, that looks very silly. Funny how everyone bar Man City could see that.
Hmmm...
I made a bit of a twonk of myself in the first few pages of this thread (especially the bit about him being the third best defender in the league) but it is interesting to see some of the names mentioned as clearly far superior to him e.g. Toure, Skrtel and David fecking Wheater
If Vidic did move on in the summer we could do a lot worse than replacing him with Dunne, that's for sure.

He he, it get's funnier every time I'm reminded of it.
Dunee was a shrewd signing for Martin O' Neill and it was ridiculous why City got rid of him especially for that price and with a lack of good center halves around
One of the bargains of the season. Experienced defender. Proven leader. Player with a 'massive' point to prove. Oh how citeh have missed him.
Of course we could, there are worse players than him.
But remember Rio and Vidic are in the absolute top bracket, among the best five in the world.
How do you reckon Dunne would fare in the CL? How's he for ROI against the top nations?
For the record, I do not suggest we buy him.
He's usually MOTM in most of our games against big sides. Mainly because we spend the whole time under the cosh! In a green shirt I've seen him put in monster performances against top class strikers, time and time again.
For the record, I don't suggest we buy him either.

We could do alot better too.
Playing for United would be very different as we're more often than not in possession of the ball.
Anyway, he'd do alright for us I reckon.
