Well I for one hope they refuse to reduce the squad size and off he can pop. As long as they don't come for Howe.

Yeah it's an interesting one. Can only imagine he's being totally sincere about the reasons for that statement tbh, since if anything he'd only be making his life harder.

Pep threatening to quit unless Man City reduce the size of their squad. It's difficult to have much sympathy here given the repeated success they've had - you need a sizeable squad to be able to deliver it and surely in these days of 20-player match day squads, the horse has bolted on this.

We've supposedly suspended talks on some trade deal or another, but I doubt it counts for anything already in motion. I'm not even convinced we're not still flying surveillance for them.

Are we simultaneously still licensing BAE in Washington to sell them ammunition to bomb women and children to smithereens? Because if we are this protest is nothing but virtue signalling…

That's an interesting prediction. Let's see if it all comes true.

Ah, the adidas three stripes on another shirt? Fair enough, I wondered what you going on about? Fair cop. (And you don't get many of them!)

Me too. Well there was that plus the series just seemed to be drifting for little plot advancement, like so many do. They just become soap operas, miserable ones at that. I've just watched S2E2 of the Last of Us and tbh that's not looking promising either. One implausible revenge story changed to another. Really feels like a video game now, shallow. Most stories have one great series in them and then just milk it. There are of course exceptions. Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, and Game of Thrones all had defined story arcs, even if the latter was awful in the end.

neither of which won goal of the month 🙄

clearly a card carrying MGTOW incel

A point is surely enough for you. It leaves a possibility of Man City, Newcastle, Chelsea & Villa all ending on 69 points, but Villa would need to win by 18 goals! Not even Man Utd are that shit!

I've just had to check the result, I switched it off after your 3rd. ok, they were fucking shite for 90 (possibly 95) minutes then!

who have you got - fulham away? can't see you losing there

didn't stop them scoring though. with the extra man nico doesn't score our third and its a different game. we're fully capable of fucking ourselves over.

if the three injury doubt don't make it (i've got a hunch they will), i think howe sets them up like this: ---------------pope krafth---schar-----burn---tino -----bruno----sandro---willock ----murphy---wilson----barnes -

i think we line up like this on sunday -------------pope trippier--schar---burn---tino ----bruno---sandro---joelinton ---murphy--isak----barnes

I doubt it, they were fucking shite.

the cup win was massive for the mentality of the club too. it effectively ended the losers mentality that plagued the club for decades. and beating liverpool in the final showed we can get up for the big games. this is why i'm confident about beating everton on sunday. in the past i'd have been pissing my pants like CT but these players have stepped up in the important games this season and i expect them to do the same this weekend. our squad is nowhere near the fourth best in the country but our first team is class, and more importantly howe has got an unbelievable team spirit going. their heads don't drop after a bad result, they're capable of going on long winning runs, they hold on to leads after going ahead and they compete with the best sides in the league. a lot of that must be down to the atmosphere in the changing room. that's a magical thing that doesn't necessarily happen at clubs with better technical players. our players will want to keep this squad and this atmosphere together going into next season - and that means getting the job done against everton.

probably in contention for goal of the season. distance, power, acccuracy, dip. i genuinely believe no keeper in the world stops that. and thank goodness bournemouth saw red, or we were in for a mighty tough last 15 minutes

thanks to last night i think 4 teams need to win and city need to draw. whether that helps city or not time will tell
