Prime Xavi would be nice :-)
We need another option in there, particularly if Partey leaves. What type depends on how Arteta plans to use Rice and Havertz next season.
I have given up trying...
Don't really want either of them. Not a big fan of watkins, isak is too expensive and too injury prone.
I want a .midfielder first. Should be the priority. Not Bruno.
Partey missed two thirds of the season, Jesus has missed significant chunks. But yeah, we have been lucky- Gabriel, Saliba, White, Rice, Odegaard and Saka have barely missed a game between them.
...
40 points from our first 20 games. Potentially 49 from our final 18.
There's your problem :-( But we know why it happened and the issues we had to deal with shouldn't come up next year.
I don't believe in hope anymore :-(
It isn't even that I am resigned to finishing second- I am actually very happy with it. We've had a great season after a disappointing start and I believe we...
West Ham could play out of their skin and still be 3 down at half time.
There is not a hope in hell of anything other than a City win. 3-0 at half time is fine with me. I could do without the...
I think that is because he is too good for them. With White and Odegaard in and outside of him he is virtually impossible to defend against. The sensible thing to do is kick, nudge, block or shove...
Oh, I don't think any of them are bad guys. But Winterburn was far from an angel on the pitch :-)
Saka appears to be a genuinely lovely guy. Can't see any bull**** in him, on or off the pitch.
I remember people saying Kenny Sansom was too nice for a footballer. Must be why we signed Nigel Winterburn- he certainly wasn't :-)
Dennis was alarmingly strong. I remember him tossing a Southampton player around like a rag doll once. And yes, he could do filthy if that what you wanted. But only when necessary- it wasn't what HE...
But.... still a great player. :-)
I may well be alone in this but I think Bernardo Silva is fantastic to watch. A bit of a cheat, but all the best players are. :-)
He's very clever. Knows exactly how to prevent the counter attack without getting booked.
But again, the difference is he understands where the line is and knows exactly how to work it. United...
They have a sense of humour. That might sound like a small achievement but it is one that eludes many other nationalities.
Even when they are not cheating they are ****ing unbearable.
Couldn't agree more. A bit of diving, rotational fouling, putting pressure on the ref.... this is what smart sides do. Some call them 'the dark arts'. More fool us if we refuse to join in and choose...
Well.... I can admire a good side, even if I hate them.
And, just for the record, I would choose City cheating off the pitch over United who spent a decade cheating on it.
That may be true. However- both Conte and Mourinho produced some of the worst football I have ever seen at spurs, were hailed as tactical geniuses whilst doing so, and then blamed the club, the...
I'll allow it 😁
I agree. I think the point I was trying to make is that the legality (or otherwise) shouldn't actually make any difference to how you view the achievements of the coach and the team.
Pep has had...
I shall be drinking like a lunatic in Dublin and don't plan on watching the game. I hope City don't tease me by going a goal behind and playing like ****s for an hour :-(
I only watched the last half an hour. For a second I got Michael Thomas.vibes when Son went through. Only briefly 😞
We've done all we could do. It just isn't enough. They're unstoppable
That is the first time I have seen City put under any real pressure in months. Forest had a go for a while but didn't look terribly convincing.
Really shows you how poor the league is overall....
United had a gigantic financial advantage over everyone in the 90s. OK, it's not cheating, but it provides the same advantage.
I believe we spent a few Bob in the 30s as well.
Shame we bought their best player...
