  1. RAWK Goes Into Lockdown 2017/20-18 Edition | LOLis Karius

    Interesting they have nothing to say about the refereeing when they played against City. Oh well let us hope they miss out on top four and Madrid/Munich do them from behind.
  2. Manchester City 17/18 discussion | "If you're here for the Champions clap your hands" (#6505)

    You are right, it is madness, but why are you questioning the legitimacy of the City ownership, this is also madness. Are you saying rich people shouldn't own sporting franchises, are you suggesting royalty should be banned from owning sporting franchises, or is it an Arab thing? If you are now...
  3. Manchester City 17/18 discussion | "If you're here for the Champions clap your hands" (#6505)

    I neither defended nor agreed with the point made, I merely pointed out it was disingenuous to pretend one didn't understand the comparison being drawn. Without being drawn into the rights and wrongs of America's foreign policy and their treatment at home of certain groups, I believe there is a...
  4. Manchester City 17/18 discussion | "If you're here for the Champions clap your hands" (#6505)

    I think he refers to the fact that your argument relies on City being owned by someone from a nation with whom you are not wholly aligned politically, he is countering that by suggesting that perhaps United's owners hail from a country which are not/have not covered themselves in glory in that...
  5. Paul Pogba | 2017/18 Performances

    Not sure if it is correct to take a player's price tag into consideration when discussing performances, I think on ability it probably is, on effort it probably isn't. Though Pogba was overpriced, then watched the market skyrocket and thought, wait and see. Since then have only really been...
  6. Prem clubs lying about match attendance figures, City by 10k a match

    He wasn't perfect but he didn't sell dodgy meat to schools or stalk ladies in toilets, guess no one is perfect. He was a complete a*** though.
  7. Prem clubs lying about match attendance figures, City by 10k a match

    Tax returns are based on ticket sales not bums on seats, in the 80s I rememer squeezing into a packed kippax only to read the next day there were 30k at the game, reason being our somewhat dubious chairman was avoiding tax, now we report the ticket sales and get accused of over reporting. Guess...
  8. Your bet on break through player in Russia?

    Better than David Silva! I so wish it were true but I cannot see it as long as there is a hole in my bottom
  9. Your bet on break through player in Russia?

    not sure he is a "breakthrough" player, but you may be right, think he is better suited to the international game than the premier league, to which he is still adapting, but recent performances suggest he is adding a bit of steel to his great array of talents.
  10. Your bet on break through player in Russia?

    Essam El Hadary, he will have a worldy of a WC, captaining Egypt to the Semis at least, Arsenal will then sign him only to discover their break through player is 45
  11. Mo Salah

    It may be, it may not, he may get injured, he may fall out with his manager, he may decide he hates football, they may find another worldy for a fraction of the price. My point is on a risk reward basis the smart decision is sell.
  12. Mo Salah

    If Salah is worth 150+ sell him. On a risk reward basis, how likely is he to replicate this season, if he doesn't his value decreases. If they can get the right replacement for 75 mio its good business. If I were the owner of Liverpool I would be lining up a replacement now.
  13. UEFA Champions League Quarter-final Draw | Man City v Liverpool

    If the front 6 is; Ferdi Silva KDB Silva Jesus Sane they may well end up with 80 percent possession at Anfield, they problems are, what will Liverpool do with the other 20 percent and who will score for City? Could see it failing to live up to the goalfest tag it already has. Put in Sterling...
  14. UEFA Champions League Quarter-final Draw | Man City v Liverpool

    If he gets injured now I'll be coming after you :lol:
  15. Manchester City 17/18 discussion | "If you're here for the Champions clap your hands" (#6505)

    Gosh, that's about as bitter and "unwise" as I have seen on this forum. You discount the racism angle, you discount the sky 4 angle, you discount the Sun pandering to Liverpool fans and you say it is because he went from a, "big club", who have not wont the title in the lads memory to a "small...
