Let's have no cynical 'he's tapping up a player' or the like.

On the way home. Bet Delphy would be a good bloke to have a few pints with...always looks a good laugh.

He looks like he's just snorted a line of coke in the bogs. De Bruyne has just finished a massive spliff. Either that or the air hostess has just got them out for the lads. Btavo isn't in the picture. He's crawling around on the floor cos he's dropped his peanuts.

Maybe he's got his eye on the Bournemouth job when he gets the tin tack.

The Goat's gone grazing at Ilkeston FC in the Evo-Stik Northern League Premier Division. "He faces a tough challenge, with Ilkeston currently second from bottom of the table and some way adrift of safety."

He must in his 50's now?

Huddersfield game today.

 

Anybody recommend a decent free VPN? I'm overseas without my own computer, can't remember the VPN i normally use, and i need to download one on to this work's computer.

 

Anybody know of a stream for tonight's game?

 

[mrbojangles]

It's televised on beIN Sports 2 here in Saudi BB so it will be available on the stream sites. Unlike the other week, couldn't get it anywhere.

[Bredbury Blue]

Guess I'll watch it next friday night on thai tv.

Looking at our starting 11, some good players but no craft or guile.

[mrbojangles]

Not worth watching BB. Lethargic, stagnant and bladdy boring 

[Bredbury Blue]

Might watch it for the novelty value of seeing Bravo actually make a save.

[Rc2702]

Some big games coming up for MC.

 

I think they will do ok and progress in both comps.

[champers]

I didn't see the game and I haven't looked at the stats, but I presume Udders didn't have a shot on goal cos Bravo kept a clean sheet

We were joking about the same thing. They did have 3 shots but fortunately, Bravo didn't have to stretch for them

This can't be our Sami Nasri, can it?

"Sevilla are doing just that – and with some familiar faces. The Leicester fans who arrive at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium – one of Spain’s great footballing experiences – on Wednesday, will remember the men in the middle but not quite like this. Brought from Stoke City and on loan from Manchester City respectively, Steven N’Zonzi and Samir Nasri may be La Liga’s two outstanding players this season, Messi apart. Sampaoli described N’Zonzi as “an octopus” and Nasri as the man who gives the team “oxygen”...

...He was the right player for them, too, and in his preferred position at last. No longer on the wing, he is theoretically a deep-lying playmaker but has freedom to move, often the furthest forward of the midfielders and just as often the furthest back, always close to the ball. He completed a competition-record 145 passes in the 1-0 win at Dinamo Zagreb.“Nasri could play anywhere because of his quality,” Vitolo says, “and for the way Sampaoli wants us to play it’s helpful for him to be one of the two pivotes: he brings the ball out, carries it to the forwards.”

Waste of a decent player that lad. 

[Bredbury Blue]

^Talented but only plays when he feels like it. Won the Premier then got very complacent. Shame.

[BangrakBob]

A young attacking Monaco with a no loss record against EPL teams, this could be a mouthwatering encounter. 

 

Think I'll stay up for this one

[mrbojangles]

Must admit Bob that when the draw was first made we thought we had the best draw out of the pot. However, not now. Their goals scored already this season is phenomenal

Yeah it's doubtful they'll be holding for a draw these boys, if they do I'll be off at HT 

[mrbojangles]

Sorry but whilst refs make blatant errors like that in such important games NOBODY will ever convince me there is no need for video technology 

[Bredbury Blue]

Cracking game. Both teams going for it.
City 1 vs 2 Monaco HT
Sane brilliantly set up Sterling for 1st goal.
City gave 2 stupid goals away - just can't defend - and Monaco ended in control.
They look better than us when they have the ball. Cutting through our 'defence'.
Not looking good for us.

[Bredbury Blue]

2 minutes after they equalised clear penalty on Aguero? But Aguero booked for 'diving'. Come on ref, keep up. Key moment; City losts their heads after that.

[Bredbury Blue]

Players out. See another goal for Monaco. City need Fernandinho in midfield and a left back at left back to cover for liability Otamendi; we're too open.
