Yeah, absolute true professional and warrior. Legend

 

And guess what. We paid 6.5m for him and after 9 years of service we ain't gonna get anything back. It's really gonna screw our net spend figures up that isn't it. Or is that exactly the purpose in buying players

You are going to replace him with Kyle Walker for £40 million. I bet you don't get anything back for him either.

I'm still living in the hope that doesn't happen.

Don't really blame you.  We all know he has great pace but defensively he's nowhere near as good as the guy he would be replacing was.

Not sure I want Walker, never been impressed with him defensively but can see why he'd want to join us; he could nip over t'hills for his snap at his mums.

So Walter has been sacked at Watford. One last hurrah by the Watford boys to see the manager off ?

I hope not but it sure would be typical

Wouldn't it just. 

 

 

 

I don't know how many teams got to play Bradley's Swansea but we weren't one of them, we played Clement's Swansea on the rise. Leicester got rid of Claudio a week to early also and so on and now you are likely to play a team that will have a little more motivation than they did last week. 

 

It made me think about Wenger's claims about teams going on holiday screwing him and what horse shiite it was. It's all part of the game.

Clearly not as any of our players needing surgery would have had it this week.

Just watching Chievo V Roma. Dzecko is having a great game.

Common theme this season eh?

[Bredbury Blue]

We're being linked again with making a move to bring back home Kasper Schmeichel - decent football skills and CAN make a save

 

(back in 2003)

 

 

[Bredbury Blue]

Just read on the Guardian's assessment of Leicester's season:
"Kasper Schmeichel won our player of the season this year – he has been worth about 15 points this season alone."

Sign him up!

He certainly stepped out of his father's shadow by being such an important part of that miracle team last year. Time for the lad to step up. 20 million.

Pep when asked what he's learnt/what we need to do next season say score more goals. Now that's always going to help but he's conveniently forgotting with Bravo in goal it was more often one, one goal or two shots, two goals up to Everton's four shots, four goals - sort out the goalkeeping position, replace the old fullbacks and keep vinny fit and we'll challenge: have a porous defence again and we won't.

Easy answer. Ancelotti 2019.

[Bredbury Blue]

A Kasper and Harty swap deal is being muted again...wonder if Leicester would like Navas and Bravo as well: gift wrapped and delivered

[Bredbury Blue]

The Pep and Yaya long embrace on Yaya's substitution looked ominous...give him a contract!

Premier League prize money table - How much your team made this season and how from Chelsea to Sunderland

This is how the English top flight's coffers are split - and where you finish doesn't necessarily determine the earning

Pleasing to see that we made the 2nd highest amount after Chelsea

you can put the cheque in the trophy cabinet.

Man United decling again. Looks like nobody wants to watch them anymore

I'd be happy to lose 10m quid so the fans can watch more of their football at 3pm on a Saturday.

Yeah I know what you mean Ronnie. However, the football coverage is great for us not living in the UK.

Just woke up to hear the news of a bombing at Manchester Arena (just 2 miles from the Etihad). R.I.P to those who died in this cowardly attack on innocent people.

 

When I went to City last month, anyone with a bag was searched but it wasn't the most stringent of searches. However, that was going into the stadium, there really isn't much security where people congregate outside. With so many people attending football matches they really are a soft target for these cowards and I think it really is only a matter of time before something terrible happens at a UK ground.

yeah i've always been surprised there weren't more cowardly sh*thouse attacks on venues like sports stadiums, concerts, shopping malls and the like. 

 

RIP to those murdered by these cowards, but the reaction from mancunians has been typically strong. offering beds for the night, free taxis, food shelter, any help they can to anyone who needs it. manchester's a fierce city and its people won't be defeated by scum like these.

Terrible turn of events.

 

It's a big big worry!
