LondonBlue

corrected for accuracy

flat track bullies although tbh, even at 6-0 i half expected us to collapse

Micah Richards gets a fair bit of stick from City fans for his Arsenal fandom. i like him though. He was destined to be a pundit ever since his first post match interview Pundits etc i quite like.. ..er.. oh Nedum Onuoha, he has smarts.

Hello fellow blue Most important thing to remember here is not to call the rags United. These guys are United here and boy will they let you know. Good to chat red cartel and different FFP views Enjoy PSG, i tend not to go to away games unless they're in London. I'm a Stockport born and bred blue that went to London University and stayed there for work. Season ticket holder in the kippax as a lad but now i'm restricted to booking 6 games at the start of every season. Topped up with the odd bonus game here and there. My next bonus game is the midweek CL vs Club Brugge on the 29th. Enjoy chatting here people take you as they find you.

is that a pic of Magic Hat or one of you're own here ?

this is not a hill i'm prepared to die on but it must be quite the challenge to turn out even slightly normal in that family. i mean losing your mum so dramatically can't help

love them or hate them. i've long thought that he's one of the most balanced / sussed of the royals

If City sign Marmoush, Khusanov and Reis in this window (as is looking likely), they will still have a net spend over 100m LESS than any of Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea or Spurs since the arrival of Pep. With a slightly better return on silverware. Boyhood dreams.

Man United will still probably jam a result against us in the league 2 derby

of course if he gets even better .... maybe his link up play improves or maybe we get Sam Allardyce in and he plays the percentages and we start crossing the ball more...

i get that the maths is impossible? 9.5 years means we don't have to spend 100m on a replacement in 5 years. and if he does go, we get a decent fee.

it's staggering (if it's to be believed) but let me ask you this... Would you pay peak Alan Shearer that much if he was leading your line today? similar scenario in that he's among the very best and a boyhood fan.

no release clause

or as i like to phrase it, a 115 month contract extension !!!!!!

he's a luxury player imo. when the team is ticking over nicely he can play attacking midfield but thats about it for me. nice close control control but short as fuck. he's "one of our own" so he gets that standard bit of extra grace that that bracket gets.

been staring at it for 20 mins and i still can't find the 10 differences

I'm still wondering if we'll get awarded the PL title for the 2014/2015 season that we finished second to Chelsea.

Could we have 25 please

out of interest what's the going rate for 1 premier league point, £1m, £10m, £25m ? is it possible that City could join those talks. we wouldn't mind drawing a line under things with a paltry fine.

i don't think Pep wants to leave HIS club whilst they're down. professional pride and all that. at the same time, his separation from his missus might put a spin on things. not sure which way though. i think pep wants to do a rebuild and then he'll leave. i also don't think he'll leave until the PL case is done along with any appeals if needed the question is, what next for Pep? not sure he fancies club management so maybe international management? maybe he'll do a Klopp maybe he'll step upwards at the City Group.

to be honest when i come on here i often confuse those two guys

we said that about Cole Palmer we let him go for the money and to open a pathway for Oscar Bobb I've given up with the we must do this or that. well i'm trying to give it up

simples a major rebuild is due our defense can't get fit. Stones is as big a loss as Rodri, Dias struggling to get fit, comes back too early out of necessity and picks up another knock. Same with Ake and Akanji. Now they're all unfit too. Walker has his own problems and looks gone. Rico isn't a defender. Gvardiol isn't enough. our midfield needs an overhaul. it has no legs. Rodri out. Kovacic fine in possession but too slow out of it. Gundogan legs gone with age (our fault not his), a wise old head isn't enough in this league. KDB legs going and his powers on the wane. Capable of big moments but more errors in his game now. Less said about Nunes the better Bernardo tries but he's being worked too hard and isn't up to it attack doesn't have the control it used to Doku and Savio are great but give the ball away too much which Pep must hate. Jack struggling to get and stay fit Foden has off the pitch issues, i don't know what they are but some posters reference them. Bobb back in training Haaland just doesn't get the service atm.

You guys are looking the business right now. only seen snippets, but fighting for a CL place is exactly where you should be right now imo. Neither overachieving nor underachieving at this point in the journey i'd say. Think you're a bit too far away for a title push though. Isak is looking electric. happy days eh?

imo you can never have too many CB's playing 4 CB's works so they provide complete defensive cover ( i remember when we won the war, sorry the CL we often played with 4 CB's pushing Stones into midfield and further ) and it's all too easy for them to get injured given their position. we've had Stones, Akanji, Dias and Ake injured most of the season plus Walker who seems done. so it can happen if you're not careful. last time we had a situation like this we had just let Kompany retire when Laporte got a season long injury and hey presto, Liverpool won the league. my point is, don't be too eager to let quality CBs leave
