  1. yeah though that does feel a bit asking for internal discord. You don't really want to be swapping goalies often, having two who could definitely be starting and will want to be, has that worked often?
  2. Considering champions League and all i wouldn't be totally shocked at 6th, i would be more upset at being behind Chelsea who will be better but don't think that much better. We do not have a squad that can be certain of it yet.
  3. In fairness getting to 25 counts as 50 in Birmingham
  4. He was an excellent player and no shame in that all this 'who is greatest' is just a pissing contest who gives a shit. He's never going to be as fondly remembered for anything other than winning stuff with barca and fair enough. Off course the circus that surrounds him is tiresome, a lot of the circus around football always is
  5. Anyone who thinks "But I don’t think they’re the type of signings that the rest of the Premier League would make" is insulting us and not them is has way too much respect for the rest of the leagues competence like
  6. Good deal for West ham but i am going to put money on them overriding their new technical director and get all of moyes targets in mctominey and ward prowse (who would be an excellent signing imo) and then fire moyes in September and replace him with potter whom will hate all those players. Absolute cast iron guaranteed.
  7. I am going to foolishly go on the record that we will see him on the left and howe will have him and trippier swap sides multiple times through games to confuse the opposition. I do not know if this is s good idea mind.
  8. Rumour was schar cover/competition and then done
  9. I mean...he is french...

    Harvey Barnes

    I would like a madisson type too to be fair mainly as a lot of terms are going to line up with two banks of four behind the ball against us and I'm worried about us scoring in those games when we can't break into space
  11. We'll definitely see more 'false centre backs and full backs' like stones and taa as more teams try and overload the middle. These definitely seem designed to benefit a team that expect to be dominating a game, it's a way of getting a player like stones to be impacting a game when man city are dominating posession up the pitch where they would otherwise be sitting at the back waiting for the rare opposition foray. I think the answer when one team is gaining dominance by piling more bodies into the middle of the pitch is always width, try and bypass the midfield overload.
  12. It winds me up, even when tindall does it, just what do you hope to achieve getting in ref's face? I'm sure it does work to some degree, get the odd call after cos ref doesnt want the hassle but it's just grown men acting like babies half the time. I used to like Klopp but even disregarding the crap he spouts about other clubs less apparently noble than Liverpool his touchline manner is absolutely disgraceful
  13. (on man city's rotational fouling) It's because if you keep the ball well enough you know you will get countered on, but it may be only 6 or 7 times a game and not every foul is going to be a yellow so you may only get 3 or 4 yellow cards out of it anyway. It's cynical but i dunno if anyone really wins anything without that side to the game tbh.
  14. In fairness one is generally against the opposition in football (nb i do know how it is meant to be read i am just being a prick)
  15. Premier League Winners: Man City Runners Up: Man U 3rd-6th: Liverpool Arsenal, Newcastle Chelsea Relegation: Sheffield U, West Ham, Luton Overachievers: Aston Villa Underperformers: Fulham to nearly go down Top Goal Scorer: Haaland (this category should be top scorer after Haaland really) Break Out Year: Lewis Miley Season to Forget: That new Man U striker PFA Player of the Year: Haaland PFA Young Player of the Year: Miley Manager of the Year: Ten Hag First manager to quit/be sacked: Moyes Championship Not going to pretend to pay enough attention to answer anything about championship tbh Newcastle United Where will we finish?: 5th Top Goalscorer?: Wilson Season to forget: Willock will struggle to get enough game time to get his confidence in full slow I fear Howe will we fare in Europe?: Decent effort but out in group stage. FA Cup: Arsenal League Cup: Man City EFL Trophy: Liverpool Europe La Liga winner: Real Madrid Serie A winner: Inter Bundesliga winner: Bayern European Competitions Champions League winner: Real Madrid Europa League winner: Dunno Conference League Winner: Dunno General World Player of the Year: Vinicius Jnr World Young player: Bellingham still count?
  16. Did he play in that game for Ukraine yesterday? Also finally caught up to that 2-0 goal lol leeds
  17. Was going to say this pubs sky must be well behind...
  18. Do they not still have bamford? If fit (huge if) he's a perfectly decent championship striker, just like gayle unable to replicate it in premier league
  19. Oh i meant first time round when he has years left on contract. He could surely push through transfer this time like that
  20. Terrible static defending from Leeds there
  21. Signing the contract was the stupid bit, what is Kane to do then down tools? He's get roasted and still with no guarantee of moving as levy may well have kept him regardless. You sign a dumb contract you live with the consequences hard to be sympathetic he still is clearly first on the England teamsheet and banging them in for spurs. I imagine levy would sell if he had something lined up for a proper replacement but they are hard to come by...
