Your right Pick's and i just don't get why our players salaries are a constant topic of debate i mean it's not like we're anywhere near the lowest payer's in the Premiership, think we are about 6th ain't we ? 

6th is about right for your final position this year.

Spot on Rc, why should we be any higher ? as generally League positions follow money spent on players and salaries.

I think everybody knows this already!!  Anything higher would be commendable over achieving.

With that mindset I guess no one will be complaining but the players and management might fancy a change of scenery and without the current crop sixth will be the target for a very long time.

We're still waiting two years down the road for your Spurs doom and gloom visions to come to fruition!!  Meanwhile, things continue to go well, with stability and a new stadium nearly finished. 

 

Pray continue, if your predictions get any worse we might end up winning the CL.

Even 2nd in CL may be worth rolling out the open top.

It's not a mindset it's a fact !  but just means we have been punching above our weight for this season and the last 3 season's

Well the pitch is 10 cm wider for a start!

[alfieconn]

Crikey, even Pep's in agreement about his position not sure about one of the best three though !!!!!

 

Fernandinho, who has made 30 appearances in all competitions so far this season, has been described as "one of the best three holding midfielders in the world," by City boss Pep Guardiola.

From ManU forum

Carmine "Pep Guardiola referred to Fernandinho as a holding midfielder.  he occupies and holds space.  Alfie, who you have on ignore. took a recent quote from Pep who clearly disagrees with you too."

And the reason Pep Guardiola referred to Fernandinho as a holding midfielder is because since Fernando left us Fernandinho IS CITY's HOLDING MIDFIELDER however we bought him as a box-to-box midfielder he'd been playing as in Russia or where ever it was we got him from.

Its lame BB come on dear boy you can do better....or just admit you're wrong.

 

Its beer o'clock so it shouldn't hurt too much! 

 

Damn hot here in Hua Hin today.

[Bredbury Blue]

Nope not wrong on Fernandinho being a box-to-box midfielder now playing as Citys defensive midfielder.

Its lovely and breezy here, having cocktails on a saigon rooftop bar.

I'll have to go there one day, when I have more time on my hands

[Bredbury Blue]

Ronnie, get yourself down the Sofitel (or whatever it calls itself these days) for one of the BEST breakfasts in Thailand...not cheap mind...but I know you're not a keeniao Jock. Cheers!

[Bredbury Blue]

MrBj ork brings me to 'nam and saigon is my RnR place (wife visiting this weekend). Have to say if I was a young man coming to Asia I'd definitely be interested in settling in Saigon but still I'm more than happy with my three decades in Thailand.

Problem is I can't find anywhere central district 1 showing our late game so the wife and I will be watching it on my phone in bed. ..romantic bugger eh!

Think we stayed at a new one in Cha Am the other year.

 

Just did a few nights at the Sheraton which wasn't bad...the Dusit bfast was crap.

 

At our third hotel now but her bag is almost full of beach towels so time to go home soon I suppose.

[Bredbury Blue]

Watched a game there a couple of months back - City won and England beat Aussies at rugby so a good night. Went to check earlier today if they'll be showing the late game and was told they close midnight and the only bars showing late game were in backpackers street wrongside of district 1 so ilikehd will save the day..bottle of wine on chill.

 but no way is he anything other than box-to-box midfielder and to even think he is an “predominately defensive” midfielder is complete nonsense as he is more attacking than defending

You just couldn't make it up could you?!!  And he's still claiming i'm talking nonsense and what i am saying is "unbelievable." 

 

It was fun to start with but now its a bit sad.  I'm not expecting BB to hold his hands up for being totally wrong  but matter closed nonetheless.
