Its always been this way though. There was always a Mid Sept, Mid Oct, Mid Nov international break apart from the Covid seasons.

Look I'm more than fine with that. Maybe we just need to cripple Everton and draw a line under this whole thing. We will get revenge on them for that Gravesen tackle at some point.

I think its funny how Everton fans wanted City to win this so badly, but they are the ones that could be completely crippled by it.

It is, but a team shouldnt be allowed to do what City did really they went from a nothing club, to the best club in the world just because they had unlimited funds. There has to be some rules in place to stop that, while also allowing teams to grow. Either way the whole thing is a mess now.

I cant really understand how this will work going forward, its an incredibly messy situation for all teams. Feels like chaos has been unleashed and the PL let it get away from them.

Just because your owners are rich, you shouldnt beable to put unlimited money into something that is a competitive sport imo. Success should be on sporting achievement not luck of having a rich owner. Just my opinion.

Have City just created a closed shop between us and them essentially?

Clever by City and makes sense to me? Who has these loans, I imagine its a tonne of clubs.

Controversial, but this is genuinely terrible for football. It benefits us so we are turning a blind eye. Under Ashley we would be furious with this.

I’ve had a solid week providing Haaland doesn’t score tomorrow…

It’s an insane talent pool tbf

Sometimes it’s about fit, Fonseca is a good manager but will be booted by Milan soon.

Don’t think he would tbh

Team Mitchell

Andoni Iraola, get Bournemouths greatest in.

I think it depends what your ambitions are for this season. I think 5th to 8th will be very close and the fine margins count. I am sceptical we can make that up we aren’t the elite pressing team we once were. I’m not sure Howe has much else in his locker consistently.

Let’s see how he gets on the next few games they will be telling. City is a right off but we need to be putting in good performances against Brighton and Everton.

Pardew did that tbf. Dyche too maybe? I just think the league is a lot tougher these days and I think we need a world class manager in. Howe is good but I don’t he sets himself apart from Marco Silva, Frank and co.

Bit harsh, some people are pretty sensitive after a loss I guess.

I think Howe is a solid PL manager, I just don’t think he is a top 6 manager now.

I’ve been pushing for Howe Out since Luton beat us. I haven’t had a single person on this forum agree with me mind. the cowards will come out of the woodwork after we get a Howe disasterclass against Everton

I do think we need Kelly to play with Hall or just move Livra back to LB.

His current situation is such a shame. I thought Southampton or someone would have took a punt on him.

Feel like they just ruined the balance of their team. Like when they sold Makalele and bought Beckham

Mbappe is a clear downgrade on Joselu
