I had a dream that we could have discussion's on here without resorting to name calling (different to banter). Alas, I don't think it will ever become a reality.

Banning the usual suspects will stop it...hopefully

Still not understanding your comments on Pep's HALFTIME BUST UP and Aguero's FULL TIME shindig, but the important thing is you're now clear that during the period of 72 to 78 CITY HAD THE BETTER OF CHELSEA.

That was more of a Dame Edna retort than a Sir Les.

Changing the subject.

 

Looks like City are taking on United in the restaurant league now.

 

Pep, Txiki and Soriano are all investing in a new Catalan Restaurant called Tast Cuina Catalana on King St, run by Michelin Chef Paco Perez. However, it is going to be aimed at affordable prices

 

This restaurant will be competition to the Spanish Tapas restaurant called Tapeo and Wine which is backed by Juan Mata's father.

I love Spanish food. Hungry just thinking about it. Unfortunately yet to find a decent Spanish restaurant on Koh Phangan / Samui.

I love typical Spanish but not sure of the difference between Spanish and Catalan food. Apparently it is different but don't know by how much

Probably better if anything. I know the food / wine from Galicia, another northern region (Celta Vigo + Deportivo), is top notch.

I understand the situation, and the meeting won't happen. Perhaps as a City fan you fail to see the bare faced cheek that comes with requesting your own personal meeting with PL, as if you speak for every club. I'm sure PL clubs have the opportunities to bring up grievances with the PL, preferably with all of them there, without having to schedule their own special meeting. 

 

Talk about a club that's got too big for its boots!

 

And this is obviously just a PR move - they don't really think they will be granted a 'special audience' with the PL, it is just another channel for winging about the dangerous challenges. I agree, some of the tackles on city players have been bad recently, but recognise this latest move for what it is - a weak PR stunt. 

 

Regarding the meeting that "won't happen".

 

City have "....been granted a meeting with the governing body of Premier League referees to discuss Pep Guardiola’s concern regarding tackles made against his players. The meeting, requested by the club, is expected to take place next month but it is unlikely the Professional Game Match Officials Limited will consider City’s wish for panels to retrospectively review questionable challenges dealt with by the referee during the game..."

^^ You're late. MrBojangles already posted the rule 2 weeks ago: 

 

4- If still not satisfied or still have concerns ANY Manager/Club can arrange a meeting with PGMOL

 

And I acknowledged him at the time.

 

16 points clear and still trying to win little battles - tut tut. Just another City fan from Stockport with a small club mentality.

You may, or not, recall that the great Colin Bell used to have a restaurant in Whitefield in partnership with his former Bury team mate and then Burnley centre-half Colin Waldron. It was not very imaginatively called Bell and Waldron and was abruptly closed down by the council in the 70s for health concerns. Rats in the kitchen, if I recall correctly. UB40 made a song about it.

The motto of this story? Stick to your day job.

Is Lou Macari's chip shop still going?

[Bredbury Blue]

"^^ You're late. MrBojangles already posted the rule 2 weeks ago..."

I know he did; I read it. But now the meeting is arranged thought I'd post.

So the refs rep will meet with City but unlikely for any retrospective action on incorrectly given yellows which warranted a red.

Don't remember the Colin's restaurant but Rio Ferdinand also has (or had) one called Rosso on King St I think it was. Probably many more have investments in some as well. I think Simply Red/Mick Hucknell had/has one but can't remember if a United player invested with him

 

Money earns naff all in the bank, so I think it's fine to invest in something out of your normal core competence, as long as you can trust your partners/employees and be confident they know what they're doing

Opening a restaurant with "friends" who can make money off your name whilst robbing you blind at the same time is a bit old hat now, I think. Todays megastars use accountants to ferret away their money offshore or use tax dodging schemes like investing in forests in Scotland or film production.

The Class of 92 are very much into construction projects in the Manchester area, plus Salford City FC of course. Fair play to them for putting something back into local communities.

BTW, Lou Macari's chippy is near OT and was always jam packed on matchdays. None of your poncey foreign muck. If you wanted something exotic you could order a balti pie.

Is there a point you want to make Ronnie? Or are we going to start posting links to stories of all ex players of every team? He doesn't play for City anymore, we sold the arrogant git, so doesn't warrant a mention on here really

They've got that much money I think something like this place would be because they want a restaurant in town where they can eat top notch grub that they like. A place they can close for themselves, lock-in, turn up and get served etc.

Out of interest why is he arrogant? Don't know much about this kid but from the piece he sounds like a promising player.
