thought i'd post these comments from bluemoon not mine but its interesting how different fan bases see things differently "Kev looks totally refreshed & invigorated, albeit lacking full match sharpness" which i agree with, players don't get much rest with the world cup and CL games. could be good for us. "Guimarães standing on Rodri's foot. In every other match I've seen in recent years, that is simply a yellow card, and there's no discussion about it. He didn't brush it, he didn't land on it briefly. There's no discussion, nobody gets angry. It's a yellow. Guimarães should have been off." i did think it should have been a yellow but no idea if he had already been booked. "... not many people bringing up Doku being a fanny, He pulled out of the challenge from Schar just before Bruno received the ball to play in behind. Doku needs to be committed and put his foot in to make a tackle and not shy away from it" although others were screaming for a foul as Doku jumped over a 2 footed challenge, had he not jumped it would have been a foul and a possible serious injury "Nothing wrong with the defending there. You don't have to let someone past because they're quicker than you. Dias plays him perfectly and the guy throws himself to the ground." probably the politest description of that contact. personally i wouldn't have cried if you'd have got a free kick there but did feel like Gordon thought oh goody an arm, i'll go down instead of continuing running. of course if it was the other way around.... "Pure filth. Football porn, that goal." referring to Bernado's back heel. Just like the way that poster posts. "The game should have been won long before God had to come to the rescue.. They had 2 or 3 chances and scored 2 whereas we had a pile of easier chances and scored none. We need to be far more clinical" to be fair there was some top defending and saves! "Battered them for most of the game. Had a wobble that almost cost us. Shit ref. Won in the end. Typical city." King Kev had no right to even attempt that pass. It was ludicrous. my verdict is that it was a proper game of football and a brilliant advertisement for the premier league. physical, some great movement and 5 great goals to the extent that MotD did a goal of the game piece. And despite possession stats it could have gone either way. Newcastle v Man City in the Premier LEague is starting to become a goal fest.

Chelsea and Manure have spent more over the last 10 years. But yeah its always been the case those that spend the most win the most. Bit unfair since winning the most gets you more money to enable you to keep spending the most. Thanks goodness Moyes and co buggered that cycle up for man united, And lest we forget they quietly adjusted the ffp rules a few years back when Manure needed it to help with salaries.

Don't think that Grealish is fully fit, he's been unwell. I didn't expect him to make the bench but we're short on numbers atm. Thats not a windup, as we had young Susoho on the bench to fill the last spot.

He's the reason we let Chelsea have "Ice Cold" Palmer for £42m. Norway have some decent players with Haaland and Odegard as back up to young Bobb

I'm relieved, i reckon we'd have lost if my thread had been kept. cheers fellas.😉

ah i see. got to admit i was gutted, but fair enough. a rules a rule. must admit i don't get the thread title though.

was the other thread deleted? whats the rule?

ooh not sure if i can create threads but maybe i'll create it...... worse that can happen is that its removed

I'll remind him over the weekend sometime

took a look but couldn't see a match day thread for Saturday

well the dream came true for this guy so why not

Man City were lucky in this respect. We had to move really quickly as the establishment used FFP to pull up the drawbridge. We scrambled over just in time. Top tip, we make a fortune via our academy. It might be a long game, but it pays off.

not heard much about the state owned oil club derby clash this week, maybe the press are finally bored of it

Guessing that's a night club also can i quote you should you find yourself with all 5 a few years down the line?

Manu Akanji cost us £15m and was a mainstay of our treble winning team. He currently holds 5 trophies if you include the euro super cup and the club world cup. How many does Titus Bramble hold? No doubt you'll put 5 past us on Saturday now that i've said that!! ps. Julian Alvarez has 6 to defend if you include the World Cup with Argentina. Not bad for a kid. pps. I removed the man city badge and text so as not to make the image to galling

depends on the shade. still waiting to see some evidence in the public domain, quite surprised none has been leaked, i wonder why?

Not sure breaking FFP rules is that much of a worry as long as you play in red

or more to the point, they can't afford him and have alternatives already in their squad.

well trying to be nice hasn't worked for us. they slap us and we turn the other cheek. i reckon you lot should try fucking them all. and if it works out, our lot and one or two others might follow. if you get screwed over well never mind 😏

jungle - anything served in celebrity get me out of here, usually camel cock, sheep vagina, scouse balls (they don't need em), roaches, spiders, etc Quiche - sorry but that was invented by the french to keep women busy Carrot cake - don't take this as gospel but i'm pretty sure carrot cake was designed to help the rest of us identify thai lady boys Corned Beef can most definitely do one (when a dog throws up its dog food they can it and sell it).

chia seeds and quinoa quiche carrot cake carrot juice spam - meat should not come in a tin. anything served in the jungle nut burgers

that's got me proper laughing cheers

frogs snails horse dog pussy liver kidney feck i'm a fussy beggar

i did not know that next you'll be telling me that the french bread i get from our local bakers wasn't made in France
