'CATTS' and O'Shea of course.

Good topic of discussion that. Off the top of my head it's Yaya Toure 11/12 when City won 2-0 towards the end of the season. He was sensational.

tbf that could be anywhere in the North East or even the country for that matter...

Looking at those lines I reckon the graphics guy must have had a few himself.

It's a funny one. Whenever I watch them, they seem decent away from home on the break, but that's it. Aside from that they're a typical, boring Mourinho team, but without the truly star players that he's had in the past to make a really strong push for titles that he's had elsewhere. Obviously the players are still very, very good, but as an example Lukaku isn't Drogba, Ibrahimovic, or Benzema (at least at the moment anyway) and why Mourinho keeps insisting on playing Pogba in a two at all, I don't know. Has to fit him in somewhere but can't play him further forward where he should be playing as he can't drop Lingard & the likes who have been much better than Pogba this season. The result is him strolling out of position constantly and not covering his defensive duty.

He's good Rondon like. Proper handful.

Because it serves as a nice reflection of the scoreline as seen on the screen in that pic. 0 on top and a few below.

They play Bolton on Tuesday, and then have Boro next weekend. Even if they lose today, they are suddenly given a chance to string some results together and get some momentum going. Yeah that's the key, a run of 3-4 results would give them a huge shout. Problem is I don't think they've won two games in a row all season and they're going to need at least 4-5 wins to survive (more if teams around them pick up points).

Starting to believe they will be relegated. I have been expecting them to put a few wins together and drag themselves out of it all season, could still happen with loads of points still there for the taking, but you look at their team today and it's hard to know where the quality is coming from.

:lol:

Nah there was just better cowies available there after the New Monkey shut down. Fair enough really.

That the lad who was at everton? Manuel Fernandes, aye. That's his second hat trick in the Europa league this season. That the lad who was at everton? Aye, sure we were linked with him a few years ago. Think he scored one great goal for Everton We were aye, was the season after we finished 5th I think. Dunno how real the links were mind.

What a comeback by Lokomotiv Moscow v Nice.

Ostersund are doing okay now, nice and combative - they just need to start pulling the trigger when they get the opportunities. Tried to overplay a little then.

Yup.

Swedish league is probably worse than the Championship, the fact that Östersund has made it this far is absolutely incredible. Plus as Disco says, they aren't match fit and it's showing. Aye I feel bad for saying so given what they've likely overcome to even be playing this game, but all I can do is call it how I see it and they started very very poorly for the first 25 minutes or so. Barely Championship level was being generous

Hate to say it, but Arsenal's opposition look barely Championship level. Easier than a training session so far this.

Aye, Navas wasn't great at City overall, but there's no shame in getting beaten by him for pace. That's hardly a fair criticism of Dummett.

It's got to be Agadoo, like... Duuu brav ka ka ka Keeps the ball out of the net Duuu brav ka ka ka Has he got some new gloves yet? I like it.

Think that's a pretty spot on assessment tbf, especially the bolded bit.

I think people are forgetting Jose Enrique who went on to become a great goalkeeper for Liverpool.

Really wanted Santon to be good, but he was pretty lax most of the time. That said what I remember him for are his two brilliant performances against Chelsea, one being the 2-0 win and the other the 3-2 win. He was excellent in both and assist twice brilliantly.

In terms of a song for this lad (as it's clear he needs one), Babooshka might be a bit hard for the majority to catch on to, so what about re-using the Debuchy song with Dubravka in place?

He was a decent player. Had a good run in the season we finished 5th. Think he played the 90 in that West Brom away game where we looked as good as anyone that first half. Also remember him scoring a belter against Fulham.
