If anything, we should be accused of playing too free and not shutting up shop when needed. We haven't played defensively against anybody this season, home or away But at times its so disjointed its atrocious. I agree when you are firing it works but all to often against quality opposition your midfield goes missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our lads need to prove themselves and are all on long term deals I believe bar one who has yet to agree and as that is Toby I hope it happens quickly. The players are clearly enjoying their football and can smell the trophies we are getting so close. Oh it is going to happen, of that I have no doubt at all. Regards selling no one needs to, not the club and not the players needing to move to a bigger club. They are already at one of the two biggest clubs in the Premiership. I do believe arsenal fans have experienced something similar. Lovely footy but could not cross the line for a number of years. I think a lot of football fans wanna see THFC reap the rewards in all honesty but too much a cup or two but after that get back to imploding please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time we have increased our capacity at the Etihad, we have filled it. I can't wait for someone to argue that point as I have my ammunition at the ready. We too had a 32,000 capacity stadium when we were at Maine Road and since moving to the Etihad it has increased capacity twice with plans to increase again. You don't do that if you ain't getting the gate receipts and selling merchandise etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were happy as it is the first time we've been back to the UK and managed to get to see a match in 2 years. Either closed season, international break or playing away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmine Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Can't believe theres even the slightest modicum of surprise in the media that the club didn't invite that treacherous turd to the final game at WHL. And the vile Skye Andrew throwing his two setang in, in defense of Campbell just makes it worse. Clearly, the epitome of a scumbag agent has no understanding of there being a right way and a wrong way of leaving a club, especially when you cam through the youth system.

Now I know you are trolling. City have always had one of the highest % capacity attendances in the league. Even when we had a double releagation and went down to the old 3rd Division, we had an average attendance of 28,000. This was prior to the expansion when the capacity was 32,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
