“He drives what he wants…” I thought.

Ahhh makes more sense. He’s got his bus license or something ya? So he can drive his horses?

Did the Gallowgate start a “he’s one of our own…” song for Matt Ritchie?

The groaning in the first half was very off-putting. I get the frustration but it was hardly helpful.
 

player wise, few thoughts given I saw it in the flesh and got to watch a bit more: isak is world class. Was gasping for him to have his hat trick. You all should re watch Harvey Barnes flick to Wilson, pure taste. The front 4 of Barnes, Wilson, Gordon and Isak was lethal. They were having their way with Sheffield United.
 

Have to say as much as I love Livramento, he’s 3 paces slower on the ball than Trippier. I recall Tonali being ultra fast with pass decision so that should hopefully help a lot next season. Halls pass selection will only get better but he’s technically such a sound player. Sean is painfully slow in decision making and that will hopefully improve when we have Tonali next season. Bruno will never get this much love and adulation at any other club, and I think he knows this. 
 

2-0 in the PL on my visits this season, granted Palace at home was the other. 9 home goals! Ha! 
 

My son was in tow, and he had such a lovely day. I was quite emotional bringing him in (kept the tears to myself) but a real full circle feeling having been a fan of this club since I was 10 (now 38) and getting to bring my own lad who’s already footie and Toon mad, he’s absolutely hooked. He predicted 6-1 the wild boy! Nearly had it. 
 

(I came as a guest of someone who was a match sponsor, before anyone asks about how I managed to get thru on ballot etc. but my lord the planning to get up took ages)

flying home to the US now. toon toon! 

He's one of our best ever players. Easily best ever midfielder by a mile. Nobody has controlled and dictted how we play quite like him. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm highly critical of the commercial progres  and don't think we are where we need to be, related party or not. I think they need to figure that shit out and get moving. 

I am all for upping his contract, making him feel and know he's in the top bracket of our club's wage earners and the lot. I think its the 100% right thing to do; you secure your gems and make it harder for them to leave or get a head turned for money -- and if they do --- the contract in place will make it far more expensive for him to be sold.

Not sure I like the idea of increasing everyone's wages with us already having a high wages/turnover ratio.

 

We can only amortise 1 additional year of Isak's contract so we can't make much back in accounting.

 

I wouldn't be against the Levy tactic of "well you signed the contract, so we either get an exorbitant fee or you keep playing".

 

Unless we have good plans to actually increase revenues in line.

I prefer not to be anything like Tottenham and how Levy runs his club. 

The plan is obviously to increase revenues and we need to pay our top end players and keep moving the club forward - paying the proper wages and pushing the business team to keep growing the commercial side. 

If someone comes in with the 100m then it'll be done before June 30th, after we're tacking on another 15-30m+ surely and itl'll only serve to help us build on. I'm not even bothered about it anymore. 

Rate Slot highly, huge loss for Feyenoord but that’s also part of their model. 

Whew. I thought he was brilliant and now that interview has me thinking he’s a level above that. His mentality, drive, maturity, hunger and commitment are just next level. Sky is the limit for him. 

A younger but fast, strong, right sided CB and you play him with Fab moved to LCB.

Man City win FA Cup

5th & 6th = Europa League

7th = Conference League

 

Man Utd win FA Cup (and finish 6th)

5th = Europa League

7th = Conference League 

 

Man Utd win FA Cup (and finish 7th)

Man Utd win FA Cup (and finish 8th or lower)

5th = Europa League

6th = Conference League

7th = No European qualification

(8th+ = Man Utd/Europa League) 

 

That's right isn't it? On the assumption that England doesn't get the extra CL place.

Thank you for this mate. Have saved this to help me out as we go thru the run in. 
 

We simply need City to win the FA Cup to leave the league fully up in play for us to earn Europa league in 6th. If Man United win the Cup then we just HAVE to finish 7th at minimum.

Fixed. 

please don’t do that to my post mate. 

Sir Jim has 70 year old out of touch uncle vibes. Complains. Mansplains. That interview as predictable as it gets. 

Think we will be better off with this new sporting director anyway. Hopefully it’s someone with the links with talent abroad; pair that with nickson and Howe and we have our golden tickets. 

Bellingham winner had me up with limbs ffs. 

Im still amazed we’re in fighting chance of European football this season. Just need City to win the bloody FA cup and 6th or 7th gets us into Europe. Wow. 

Hahahhahahhahahahhahaha that free kick needs meme’d

Kevin De Bruyne surely away this summer right? His body language has been wrong all season.

Guardiola wanting his bit of theatre.

to be fair his team of super experienced winners have looked completely moronic this last week.

Grealish plays for City.

Robertson plays for Liverpool.

Bruno plays for Man U

 

I'm sure there are others...

 

 

 

Of course. But is there a single likable player out there right now for them?

The fact city are trying to create a chance with Ake and Akanji on the top of the box is lifting. Gimme Cancelo days! Mahrez cutting in off the left, Gundo. 

Chelsea must have the full collection of unlikeable players these days.
