All subs used in the man City game v Madrid, three minutes stoppage time. We get routine 6/7 minutes sometimes fucking 13! 🤔

have to admit i got confused by our subs. i thought it was 3 substitution stoppages with up to 5 subs being deployed. didn't realise that half time subs don't count. well i did but i forgot.

Grealish is slow as fuck

 

He's slow but he doesn't lose the ball. He was good until he got injured again.  Injuries have been his biggest problem the last couple of years. 

 

The minutes he was on he didn't lose possession and his ball in for the first goal was class. 

 

I appreciate Newcastle fans just don't like him and view him through Almiron tinted specs but when fit he is class. Yes he's dubious with his partying and wise cracking but he's a nice lad off the pitch. His efforts towards intellectually challenged kids, ambassador for the special olympics. That's not fake thats him. Writing to fans in braille etc. The daft fucker genuinely loves to help kids with issues. Obviously borne from his love for his sister.

 

Having spent years at GOSH with my eldest, seeing other kids there, that soft side of him shines brighter than any of his childish shenanigans. 

 

But yeah, he's slow as fuck.

I don’t know if you have visited any of our match threads in the past year but I don’t think this is a fair reflection of the people here :lol:

He seems like a great bloke but watching the game yesterday he couldn’t play for Eddie Howe as he couldn’t put the hard yards in out if possession. I think this is a problem in the team in that you guys aren’t used to not having the ball.

Don’t mind Grealish at all but apart from the injury problems of the last two seasons or so, I don’t think the way he’s been utilised at Man City has improved him as a player. He hasn’t represented good value either and it’s a bit of an odd one, as you’d think they could’ve gotten someone from the continent for half that price who could’ve done the same job. Which is the route they normally go down

They probably needed to boost the home grown quota for Europe because I agree they could have found better value elsewhere. Plus much like Howe’s preferences I don’t think Grealish looks like a Pep type of player (at least on paper).

Probably hoping manu would come in with a higher offer for the giggles - see the person who got LB banned. 🙂

Didn't they have one now at Chelsea?

Actually thats a misconception, he's developed a reputation for working back. Some commentators have spoken of it too.

jack defending v salah - tiktok

jack defending v spurs - tiktok

jack defending v arsenal - tiktok

 

and this is why we rate his possession -  he gets you up the pitch and relieves pressure by keeping the ball.

possession - tiktok

Pep said that Jack has a special ability to carry the ball into the box that few have. that's probably what he sees. that and his possession skills which Pep prizes highly.

 

obviously he's been blowing hot and cold for a while.

Don't think he should get much blame for that, not easy running Duloc and rounding up the fairy tale creatures alongside a professional football career.

Just seen the whole crying your heart out flag.  :lol: That did em well.

 

it was a bluemoon forum effort

 

it was always going to motivate them but to be honest they didnt need any more motivation. i wouldnt have done it, but it was quite funny.

I'm sure it did cause a smirk here and there, but tbh it should be a source for embarrassment. Make flags and banners about your own club and players, not the opposition. 

Real Madrid came across as petty and pathetic for how they conducted themselves back in October. All that achieved last night was City reducing themselves to the same level. It deserved the backfire it brought about.

Havertz likely out for the season

tbh Arsenal fans are probably relieved. They're not enamored by him.

He’s shite but at least he gives them someone to lump balls up to. Isn’t Jesus also out for the rest of the season? They have no makeshift strikers left :lol:

Just watch. They'll unearth some kid from the academy they'd overlooked in favour of big name signings and he'll turn out to be mercurial. They'll not win the league, but that's more akin to them being bottling fucktards than the 'plethora of injuries' that they'll no doubt charge as mitigation.

Ah so that's why you're banned.  For suggesting that!
