Bruno getting more strapping which says he is intending to continue but himmm Pope is worrying

aaah should have done better there

Willock should have done a bit better there

Fulham pressing us high successfully so far

Oh great we have one of yesterdays refereeing team

Howay!

No but they are run terribly i think they are right to be outraged at just the incompetence as well as worries about the state if the finances should they go down. No it's not asset stripping but it is sooner if the stupidest decision making you will ever see

Well he could join a team challenging for the title of a clownshow in 10th for a lot more money. It feels an error in judgement but equally fair enough get big a paycheck as you can

of course lol

Old Trafford reffing there

Grealish scores

Also if he does go and there is that modern thing where every single ex player gets booed in the stadium when he visits someone needs to have words. It's a weird thing now, or is it just me that notices it? Perez got booed, now can understand a bit people not thinking he was any good (he was imo) but we got £30m for him somehow, he wasn't worth that lol (sorry Leicester). Now he then did procede to kick the shit out of our players so earned the boos by the end, but wonder if part of that was trying to make a point from the booing?

Yep, need to have someone in the door before he goes mind, just know if we risk it for one game botman goes off injured and we have trippier filling in at cb. Honestly I would leave the decision up to Lascelles, imo he should be playing somewhere not fair on his career for him to be sat on bench for so long and can leave with head held high. If he wants to stay and be part of the team perfectly fine by me too.

Yeah City aren't functioning that well. I get a feeling Pep enjoys shuffling his cards and then trying to figure out how to put it together because just doing the same thing every season bores him a bit. Not necessarily the most competitive attitude but an entertaining one. I wonder if that loss to Real Madrid stung where he was the better team for 170 minutes of a 2 legged tie and lost in a mad 10 minutes from individual genius, thinks going to make a more chaotic team and score loads with a silly striker

Thing is though they will play like this and Haaland will still score a hat trick from half chances

Man U remain looking more likely to score on the break and it's not clear how they are getting the chance to break considering how slow and unthreatening City's forward play has been.

This is rubbish so far. I am watching this in a pub in Middlesbrough and I am mainly just pondering why this sports bar has a Slushy machine

To quote my Everton fan friend there hasn't been a credible threat at goodison since Richarlison was sold

It's always the worst punditry, the contradicting fans opinions with bullshit gleamed from a 5 minute skim of a clubs own press release or something. If fans are upset too many pundits have the immediate response "they must be being unreasonable". Occaisionally they are being entitled twats, mostly they know much more about everything about the club than Gabby Agbonlahor or whoever it is on talksport

Aye, although it has to be said the new stadium isn't funded yet, they are planning to start building it before all the money in place apparently which feels a risk/white elephant in the making. The fans have every right to be furious with how the club is run spending that much, possibly putting the club in jeopardy (especially if they go down) and not producing anything.

Man City never have too much of a problem having multiple high class players (and grealish) for every position lol. They are competing on almost all fronts, there will be plenty of chances to stake claims on positions, if the player doesn't grasp that they can fuck off to saudi arabia with an interview with piers morgan apparently. I think sometimes the character of players is revealed in these situations and if they have a problem with it they probably don't have a place at a club that wants to challenge for the title. They can fit in just below sure but highest level of course the club has very high class competition and you aint gonna play every game.

This all sounds like material for a criminal offence top trumps deck

sorry was told to us during journo course (that put me off being a journo lol) so is just word of mouth. But statistics remain grim, see here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-48095118 All is to say that I don't trust juries decisions much on rape trials, having said that of course he is entitled to being presumed innocent, I am not pretending it is easy or to have special insight on special case, but when you have these cases and the juries rule not guilty and then you get a barrage of THE WOMEN WERE LYING that can all fuck off. This is always grim all the way down.

Court reporter at the chron actually once told me a story of a burglary and rape trial he covered where a burglar broke into a woman's house wearing a mask and raped her in her bed. The jury convicted him of burglary but acquitted him of rape because they felt there was apparently reasonable doubt that she consented to this masked intruder. Rape conviction rates are an absolute scandal

What an idiot. Disappointing
