The Fish

That's a big old plot of land, isn't it?

Hell, even Stockport County have a 'Fanzone' behind one of their stands. There's stuff for kids to do, a food outlet and a bar. It's not much, but when we went with two 3yr olds it was perfect to occupy them while the two grown ups got a pint down our throats. I'd imagine a proper Premier League standard Fan Zone would be great for families and tourists and the like. Bit of club history, small club shop, food outlets, bars, coffeeshop, some football-based activities for kids.

If you pedestrianised Strawberry Place at certain times, couldn't you have the best of both worlds? Also, I'm curious, how does the Metro Station impact construction works?

Is this your work Rosco? Cos if it isn't, then I'm sorry but it's absolutely the worst fucking thing I've heard. Worse than foxes fucking. If it is your work, then it is absolutely the worst fucking thing I've heard. Worse than foxes fucking. And I'm not sorry.

There is always, always, a tweet.

We've long since eliminated those bellends.

Because their ultimate desire is that we don't do as well as we could. They could still be wallowing in League 1, selling their best player to Stoke in January, but as long as we finished 2nd and didn't win a cup, they'd consider their season a success.

Higher stands would also improve the atmosphere. Might even mean we can comply with PL instructions about the placement of Away Fans.

Have a floating stand with seat harnesses, which tilts forward at kick off, then redocks with the main stand at half time and the end of the game.

Howay the 5 storey death trap.

Less "All or Nothing" and just "All"

I look forward to the days we replace Man Utd in selling our deadwood to the likes of Watford and Sunderland for stupid sums.

Makes you wonder if those at the club had a sense that something like this was coming down the line for Man City which is why we haven't gone all Montgomery Brewster.

Who's their back up 'keeper and is he as prone to a gaff as Hugo?

Totally agree and like you say, with all due respect to Burn he hasn't the technical side of his game to the same level as Targett, let alone Trippier. So the quick interchange of passes, the vision to anticipate runs just isn't there. I wonder if Gordon could work as a wingback in a 5-4-1?

Not Bonnie and Thalidomide.

Dunno who I hold in greater contempt, him for singing, or you for sharing it.

To get the most out of ASM we need him to receive the ball deeper than he has in the last few games. If he gets the ball around the 18yd box there's a congested box at the end of his dribble. The other attackers are marked, the opposition has bodies occupying space at the very least. If he gets the ball around the halfway line he can beat his man/men and that leaves them a man or two down in the defensive 3rd. Which means more options for the pass, or simply a more clear route to the shot for ASM himself. The same isn't true on the right hand side. We want Almiron to run onto a searching pass into space, or receiving the ball by the 18yd box with Trippier and Bruno in fairly close proximity, a quick interchange of passes and Almiron is behind for the pull back or clear for the shot. When Almiron receives the ball on the halfway line he hasn't the tools to beat the fullback + midfielder, so we pass around them. ASM would work best with a Trippier-level fullback + a creative number 8 in the same style as James Maddison. But that's north of £80m worth of talent to best utilise what is essentially an agent of chaos. Gordon should work within the team and system we've already got.

A lot of documents to shred?

Cleadon's very own Bonnie and Clyde

Sorry to hear that mate, awful news.

But I never got into Conspiracy Theories and that describes me to a T.

Oh I get why people at the top exploit the easily exploitable, but I want to get to the bottom of why people are so eager to believe this shit. Forget about Aliens and apocalypse cults. I'm talking about Pizzagate, and JFK Jr, and body doubles and all that.

I'd want to get to the bottom of the 'why'. Get a few of these people in a room and spend fucking hours getting to the bottom of it. I'd bet it's got fuck all to do with logic, reason or research, and everything to do with their own insecurities, disillusionment and an aversion to responsibility. The trouble is that the people who believe some of this shit don't want to discuss it beyond the regurgitation of the soundbites they've heard/read/watched in the process of 'doing their own research'. You seen the Good Liars? They go to Trump rallies and similar. The blank stares and aggression their pretty harmless questions are met with are works of art.

And of course you know just the jodhpur wearing hunting toffs to do it. You blue bloods are all the same.
