It's always been a roller coaster ride peter. Don't think I'd have it any other way now.

I enjoy seeing us win and i love watching better quality players but I don't enjoy the stress these days of having to constantly win.

Happy to let you be mid table BB if it helps your blood pressure.

Eh? You telling me yesterday young kelechi needs to handle pressure and today your admitting the need to win is taking its toll and your commending Ronnie foe offerING up mid table mediocum and your up for it??

 

Well the good news is your staring at 5th and it's blowing kisses straight back.

^I can take a joke...especially while I'm on my hols.

^"young kelechi needs to handle pressure"
I don't think I posted that. I posted Nacho is a penalty box player and goalscorer but doesn't lead the line well or link up play...he could do with a loan out to the championship or overseas to learn his trade away from the pressures of playing for City...or something like that.

Fair play pretty much word for word actually that's impressive. I stand corrected.

You can crack a joke, that we know.  FA team of the season.  Dele out for Silva was a beaut.

 

Take a joke.....nah.

^"Quick reminder.........You're supposed to have me on ignore, sweet pea."

Quick reminder to you my old muppet, you decided not to reciprocate, remember?

You: "Can you put me on ignore, please?"

Me: "Sure....that'll be 2 spurs, I lpool and 1ManU. You will reciprocate though I hope Carmine?"

You: "Nah, i love your gibberish!!"

You wanna reciprocate then?

So glad I cleared that up that you were wrong ;-)

Manchester City have been banned from signing academy players for two years and fined £300,000 after breaching Premier League transfer rules.

This surely must be wrong as BB told us they bring them in at five years old. 

£300,000 is about an hours wages for their whole squad. Maybe points deductions should be used as a more effective punisment. Liverpool were caught at it very recently too. The sad irony is that no young players can break into the first team at either club.

I was thinking about it and it's a flawed process I agree. It's kind of stink too I mean should the people responsible for development be nicking other teams future starlets and not actually focusing on unearthed talent i'd be livid with the Dev team they have litrually put them back 2 years and given football is our national past time how can you justify such laziness when there's a whole country of potential to be looking at?

Apparently the ban is from the ages of 10 years to 17 years old,  so they can still bring 5 and 6 year olds through, apparently they've been looking at a few 3 year olds lately, probably related to them trying to get a Mothercare sponsorship .

Enjoyed that; cracking game. 5v0 and should have been a lot more. Silva had one training session this week, played just 60mins and was easily MOM...completely ran the game and made it happen. Otamendi was really decent today: he's been excellent recently - the difference being Kompany alongside him? Great fun today.

One great game and you can live on that for a while. Let's see what Liverpool has to say about that .

Those goals may come in very handy

they may actually. <deleted> allardyce.

Good game and goal difference is looking like it might be rather important.

Sam set his side up to have 10 men behind the ball. Our first goal after 2 mins totally scuppered that plan, they really didn't have a plan B and after that it was purely a matter of how many.

yeah those goals could end up being worth a point on their own. Hope it doesn't come to that though and Liverpool slip up today. We have a tricky visit by Leicester next week
