Hey Magoo, its 6am & guess what ????  I'm still plotted up in my bar & I'm friar tucked - Well & truly brother - Caned a whole bottle of Jack Daniels - Mrs left me, took the car home & I'm too drunk to ride the bike home - Wtf am i gonna do ??? As if you care ???? Listening to some UB40 now, Signing Off Album - Love it brother - Smashed - Your not a bad skin, but sometimes, you talk complete & utter Boll ox ????

[RedArmy]

I gotta wake up my Mrs & come & pick me up, it's 6,30 am, she ain't gonna be happy - Where's <deleted> Mr Bo Bangles when i need him ????

Not really, you have just confused me even more. 12 teams ???? Good business model - Loan out players & if you draw any of them in the cup, they cant play - Sheffield United last week at Wembley - 2 of your players on loan there couldn't play.

 

@champers Great post brother - Thanks for clearing things up for me ????

 

We only loan out players that need experience and aren't ready to break into the first team. Pretty sure most clubs with academy's do that.

@RedArmy needs to know that some of the staff at Man City get paid by the City Football Group rather than by the club. The occasional coaching session in Melbourne, NYC or Girona (with a jolly holiday thrown in) creates the pretence that they are "Group" employees. 

I'm not aware that any do that and I very much doubt that is the case. If sleuth champers could see it I'm pretty sure the FA would too and more charges would be thrown at us. Have you got some names and I'll investigate.

 

Edit to the above. I'm obviously only talking about the football side of things. There will obviously be central accounting, HR, H&S teams etc who have to ensure the clubs within the group are operating within the group's procedures and governance guidelines.

Yes, I'm a bit of a piss head at times, but i prefer Jack Daniels 

I'm a JD man myself. So much so, I built myself a bar in my garden up in Chaiyaphum. Not a business bar but for friends to pop round It's called The Jack Shack ????

 

People keep donating old bits of stuff for it. Got given the front end of a Tuk Tuk. Just finished refurbing it and hanging it from the roof. But might move it again.

It sounds pretty cool and you've gone up in my estimation.

 

But I'd like to watch the video.

Just watched on laptop.... nice....how many can it seat? Any aircon or fan in there?

 

I have a home bar / counter in my kitchen, was going to put a mini fridge in it and stock up with bottles but I don't do much drinking at home so never  got round to it. However if I lived in Chaiyaphum home drinking might be the best option!

About 15 can comfortably sit at the 2 tables and bar but many chairs can be added. No point in Airton as it's outside but plenty of fans. I also brought one of our old boats from the fish farm (made from coconut tree) that had an hole in it and made that into a sort of bench seat with cushion

I'm sure you'll understand it would give me a lot of satisfaction if it had a leaky roof.

Advantage City going into the second leg. I would have enjoyed strangling the life out of that ref at halftime. Cowardly ************.

I'd have taken 1-1 before the game. Happy with that but how RM got away with some of their antics I'll never know. Particularly the Kroos challenge on Gundo

That's life. Clubs with a huge history and influence will always get the rub of the green at home. When you win 14 European Cups you might too.

Why. Because they mention Haaland is happy at City? All the rest is about Bellingham, who isn't City

OK I was trying to be nice about it but you backed me into a corner.....

You weren't trying to be nice at all or you wouldn't have posted that tripe in here in the first place. I saw right through it and thus "backed you into a Corner" and got you to admit it was basically a troll post.

 

BTW. Don't know what qualifies this amateur "journo to be labelled "the biggest football journalist in the world" Looks like a Tik Tok show that he's on

I know. I've heard of him. He's no journalist though. He's a specialist in transfer rumours. Jeez, I could make up rumours all day. Not sure why an Italian would know more about Dortmund and Real Madrid transfers than a German or Spanish rumour monger would though. Oh I know why, it's coz only this guy called City a plastic club. As I said, you troll post is crystal clear.

 

It is an interesting time though. When I was growing up United where the big boys on the field, winning everything and giving us City fans football related grief every week. Nowadays, all you can try and do is put us down with you "being a bigger club" and some rumour specialist calling us "plastic" wow, you are sinki9ng lower every week

Fine with banter but that attempt at a troll was pretty lame. Even by your standards

The PL is the number one priority. The CL is the icing on the cake.

Another title all but wrapped up.

 

Will City keep Gundo? He's been so valuable.
