As individuals sure but is he better in City's team ? i'm not so sure tbh, what makes City so good is they have two pacey as f*** wingers stretching teams allowing Silva and De Bruyne s*** tonnes of space. Sanchez likes to come inside and get on the ball more and does less work off the ball to stretch defences. If this happened last summer i would have understood it, City came off a disappointing season where they were incredibly wasteful in front of goal but now i'm not sure. Sterling has massively stepped up his game, Aguero has been more consistent and Jesus continued where he picked up from after joining last January. Really don't think he's necessary now. true but can you ever really have too many good players when you have 0 concerns about cash? And with Jesus out for a few months Sanchez offers options to rotate players around to cover Aguero or hell play up top himself. Also as has been said stop your rivals from getting him for nowt in 6 months Quite. And it's Alexis Sanchez for 20M FFS. Plus a billion quid a week, sure, but they clearly couldn't give a fuck. Still hoping we do a sneaky troll and pick him up, but wages mean not a chance.

Spoiler the numbers tbh. I’d much rather not know.

Can’t believe we got all that for Wimmer. Poch didn’t even hide that he didn’t rate him in the end. We paid 4.5M and he barely played .

Hard to complain about people not taking the FA Cup seriously without a match thread.

I would very much like Mike Dean to never ref us again please. I feel like every team should get to pick one ref to fuck off.

I've done it at Highfield Rd, in the Holte End at Villa Park and in the home stand at White Hart Lane. Villa definitely the diciest. Me and my Dad did it in the Main Stand at Chelsea back in 1987 I think it was. 1-1 draw. John Anderson scored. Had no bother at all and there was even another 2 fans about 6 rows in front that jumped up as well. Just about the most fun I can remember was being with my Dad in the away end for the Boxing Day match v Millwall at the end of the 80s. Not sure why we didn't have our tickets, but it was the only way to get into the game. We were fucking terrified at first and kept mum, but Lineker scored a couple of goals and the Millwall fans just started ripping the absolute piss out of their own team. It was mint. We didn't celebrate the goals though. Not a fucking chance.

I completely forgot the first wildcard is only for the first half of the season.

Davinson Sanchez taken off after 58/59mins = nul points. FFS.

At the risk of stating the obvious - not a chance .

Interesting. Can you ask again when the transfer window is closed? Will do. You’ll have played Swansea and Burnley at home by then too which might help .

How has Hughes not been sacked yet?

Genuine question. Would you take a draw every game for the rest of the season? I presume no, but 36pts and a GD of -11 might keep you up.

Hope he doesn't go - Liverpool are class to watch with him in the side. Hope he doesn’t go, that means the 123M or whatever they’re about to spend makes them go bust, and the club ceases to exist. Happy New Year!

As soon as I get back from my McDonalds run i’ll check who it is (think it’s Salah). God knows what other bullshit my team has. Think Austin might be on the bench . Totally blagged it this week . Captain Kane will get subbed for Vice-captain Salah, and I think I have 57pts with Bellerin, Hegazi and Foster to come. Nil-nil West Brom-Arsenal would make it the luckiest week ever.

...I do know that my draft team has Ben Davies, Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez, Aldeweireld and Lamela, but that was a conscious decision.

Damn you, alcohol. Good luck this week, Captain Kane.

Worst thirty minutes he's ever seen from a home side. Cheers Gaz'. Bet he wasn't crying like a little bitch when plucky little underdog José set up his billion pound team against them to defend before attack. He's surprised that Rafa takes that to another level with the lack of quality we've got? f*** off. f***ing exactly. As I write we are one goal away from a draw against one of the best teams to ever grace the league despite being put together on a shoestring. Almost like Rafa knows more than Gaz. Loads of BBC commenters saying similar. You just know they’re the same cunts baying for Kane et al to be sold to a “big” club. If you want all the good players at three or four clubs then these are the sort of damage limitation exercises you can expect.

The way City have done it is the only way a club like us are ever going to be regular title challengers unfortunately. We are a club like you. It’s not the only way, just the easiest way.

Did I imagine them apologizing for tapping him up and officially ending their interest to avoid punishment? Was that not a thing?

Which is more likely - good or bad?

Great week so far, but hopefully it goes tits up now. Perfectly happy for Coutinho, Salah, and Firmino to have a mare.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Friends of ours came over with a curry tonight. They're from Indiana/Ohio, with no particular ties to any team, but they both play football, and have a son who's seven who also plays. He's chosen Man City as his team. If we were doing this ten years ago he'd have no idea they existed. I'm 44. I shouldn't give the slightest shit about this. I do, though.

As long as we have a clean sheet i’m golden . Not looking forward to the Spurs bye week coming up.
