It wouldn't be this season would it without one more massive kick in the bollocks, one more unlikely piece of bad luck. I hope City go down to the fucking local Sunday morning leagues for that. Throw the book at the cunts.

Going to be a mega tampon shortage in this thread.

The City defenders trying to do their best Kompany Vs Leicester impression can get to fuck.

Fuck off Alvarez. These cunts could play til the Euros kick off and not score.

Fuck off De Bruyne. The shittest, most pathetic performance in a big game you'll ever see. Wanker.

And Haaland hits the bar. Fuck off man.

De Bruyne wanders off the bench from long term injury to beat us at SJP and yet in a cup final vs their local rivals he plays like an utter limp dick with the boots on the wrong feet. Fucking ugly shit haired cunt.

Fuck off and die in a fire City. Hope you go extinct.

I hope City go out of business me

City had better fucking win this.

It's a bit of an odd category granted, but that goal vs Man U is my favourite "route one" goal. The flick from Shola, sublime. Come to think of it, Shola had a habit of assisting unbelievable or important goals - Shearer's record breaker, Cisse's Chelsea volley, Shearer's Everton goal, Enrique's promotion clincher vs Forest, Nolan's hattrick goal vs the Mackems...

Rooney confirmed as Plymouth manager. That's them down then.

I suppose he told the FA investigators that Paqueta Island is just a name. What he meant was, it's actually more of a peninsula.

Just seems like too much upheaval in one window for me, Eddie is big on continuity and I don't see him wanting to take a sledgehammer to the entire goalkeeping department. Yes, we're retaining Gillespie but I don't see him being last man standing whilst we move three senior keepers out, buy in two or maybe even three. Wouldn't be surprised if we buy Giorgi, him and Pope share the gloves (particularly if we get in the Connie League) and they fight it out for top spot. Competition is what we've lacked, it's been Pope and then two knackers (Dubravka/Darlow/Karius) supposedly challenging him ever since he came in. The geezer is untouchable at the min and Eddie won't want that IMO.

Can't see us selling Pope unless we've got 2 quality keepers lined up.

Would be absolutely class if they couldn't get anyone in and Doddsy gets the gig

Howe must have realised that whilst Pope is clearly a very good keeper, there's nobody in the current department that will push him or challenge his place whatsoever. Dubravka is a busted flush and Karius clearly shite if he couldn't oust him during the second part of this season. Gillespie very much our 3rd pick Scott Carson goalie cheerleader which will be why he's been retained, so we need someone who will actually challenge for the gloves. If you look at some of the sides above us this season whenever their second keeper has come in they've not really been impacted (Ortega, Kelleher, Ramsdale, Petrovic). Love the idea of this signing and if he's a good keeper and as mental as Temuri was I'm all for it.

Paqueta denies any wrongdoing and any knowledge of the suspicious bets, which have been traced to Paqueta Island, off the coast of Rio de Janiero.

One of the lads I work with was out in Sunderland a few months ago, they went into The Blandford (Sunlin equivalent of Butlers or The Clock) and a lass asked them if they wanted to buy any aftershave. His pal said "what have you got?" and she said "well, tell me what you want and I'll be back in 15 minutes" This is the same pub where a student famously went in for a quick drink waiting for his bus and was promptly thumped and knocked out by one of the regulars for absolutely no reason at all.

Suppose it's the only time there'll be Glory Days at the stadium of light.

Ally just thinks everything is shoe-perb.

Wow. Great goal Lookman

That's absolutely top class like. Nice moment for Gillespie saving the pen too.

I love how Jones and Howe are having a wander round Ramsey Street when Tindall's probably fucked it off and headed straight for the local rippers.
