buzza Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 For me; I think the most important thing is for us to be injury free or low injury counts this season. We have a really strong first team and can compete with anyone if an RW is bought. Key season for Tonali, needs to show he is the real deal midfield upgrade on longstaff! Defence should be back to it's strongest and strength in depth when the ACL boys are back. Top four and cup final is minimum requirement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucasol Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Any rumours on who Man City intend to replace Julian Alvarez with? Money makes it daft to turn down but no way they can go through the season relying on Haaland. I know they have a decent crop of youngsters - Heskey’s two sons being star turns in the youth teams - but doubt they’re ready for an assault on 4 competitions.

Coffee_Johnny Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 3 hours ago, Cclay said: When I first started teaching (early 1980s) in Salford, there was not a Manchecter City fan, who would admit it in class. Move to Trafford. Again, same thing. Even the odd Bolton fan would pipe up before them. Wall to wall Manchecter United tops on dress as you please day. Cue take-over: hundreds of City fans crawl out of the woodwork. Dads wear City tops to parents evening. Claim to have supported them forever. Same people have Barcelona tops as well. Don't get me wrong, City fans always existed and came from many of the more deprived parts of the city. They just tended to get on with it and make little fuss about it. To answer the question: hate Manchester United (fans) (because they have no perspective) and toterate City fans (because they cause little drama). Trafford and Salford are the more ‘red’ boroughs of Greater Manchester. Stockport, Central, East and South Manchester more blue. North Manchester (proper, I.e. within city limits) seems more even. Don’t think it’s a deprived area thing, Salford is pretty much Gateshead in terms of indices of multiple deprivation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also lived in Moss Side. That was more like you are talking about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived in South Manchester for twenty years (kids all support City) and took great delight in seeing a friend of son’s, from very Man Utd family, decide he was also going to support Man City 😂 Glory hunting Mancs!

Sibierski Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 9 hours ago, gdm said: What happens if they default? Who then takes the stadium? Was the deal signed even more shit where West Ham then get it for free outright? Absolute joke taxpayers are funding premier league clubs. Should be looked into because that type of shit will be resulting in cuts to services that directly / in-directly impact people health and wellbeing, driving up the deprivation.

ramirez Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Worst Man United and Liverpool Next worst Arsenal, Villa, Everton and Chelsea Random dislike for Palace, the ultra thing is a bit cringe, south london hispter types taking moral high ground, I bet most of them supported other sides before they became premier league regulars/also rans. Dislike West Ham over owners/ground, didn't mind them at old ground, Spurs for perceived big club thing Don't mind/care: Wolves, Forest, Brentford, Leicester, Bournemouth, Saints, Ipswich, Fulham, Indifferent to Man city, blandly impressive and hollow, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
