  1. Nordic Ghost Yeti | Haaland at City

    City have scored 23 PL goals this season, Haaland has 11 of them which means that City's other players have outscored him with 12 goals. For reference United have scored 8 goals so far in the PL. I think it's wishful thinking to believe that City would struggle without Haalands goals. He looks...
  2. Would you take Conte at United?

    Conte would be a great appointment for United as long as he's fully supported by the Glazers. There are too many at United who believe their own and the clubs bullshit, I include Ole in that. It's okay for fans to believe that the crowd sucks the ball in and the mythical powers of OT can...
  3. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    I think you are wrong. It really isn't easy to buy your way to the top of the PL. Everton and Aston Villa can testify to that. FFP is a live and kicking and it has stopped City, otherwise Kane and a whole host of others would be playing for them. What FFP hasn't stopped is Pep. When he goes...
  4. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    I can understand that and in truth United are already a mega club and do not need external investment. Whilst I have little time for the Saudi regime (what right minded person would) I am happy for the Geordies as this will give them a little light in their lives. Sometimes bad people do good...
  5. Newcastle United now owned by the PIF | PL receives "legally binding assurances that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will not control NUFC" ;)

    You seem to be unaware that United have taken plenty of 'Saudi's dirty money'. Saudi Telecom sponsored United for many years. Aeroflot are currently a sponsor. The state airline of another state who go in for murdering their opponents. Taking the moral high ground where football is concerned...
  6. Will Liverpool ever lose a home league game again under Klopp?

    Not going to engage with you any further after this. Why would I waste my time when you are so insulting and clearly wrong. 1. Foden was not running away from goal - what a very strange thing to say. 2. There was contact outside the area but he was brought down inside the box 3. Either way he...
  7. Will Liverpool ever lose a home league game again under Klopp?

    The second yellow offence by Milner was before Salah's goal. In any event Milner should have seen red for his foul on Foden in the first half. He denied a clear goal scoring opportunity whilst making no attempt to play the ball. That both the referee and the VAR officials deemed there to be no...
  8. Champions League | Matchday 6

    Such a strange take. 'Easily beatable' by who ?
  9. Have state funded oil clubs ruined football?

    From an English standpoint I would say the likes of Chelsea and City have helped save the premier division along with the improvements at Leicester and Liverpool. In the first 10 years of the PL United's stranglehold was only broken 3 times (once by Jack Walker's £m's and twice by Arsenal) The...
  10. Grealish To City? | City bid £100M

    I realise it doesn't suit your unsubstantiated assertion but Milner ran down his contract and left for free. It was a reported contract saga over at least 2 seasons. Multiple players have left City but not a sniff of anything untoward. Strange don't you think? Or do you have any actual...
  11. Are English players overrated or is it Southgate ?

    You may well be right over time but right now I'm not so sure. There is a reason that Sterling scores so many tap ins. His movement in the box is excellent. I have no idea if this is taught or instinct but he has it for sure. I don't think Sancho scores the goal that Sterling got last night...
  12. Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

    So you think City are offering players to Spurs without the agreement of said players? I don't believe any club would treat its highly valuable employees in such a way plus City would surely know, even if they wished it, that the players wouldn't go along with it. It's Spurs after all.
  13. Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

    It's the same regurgitated nonsense. Romano ! Don't make me laugh. People like him will post anything for clicks. It's how his world works. It's 'journalists' putting 2+2 together and coming up with 22. Sterling, Laporte and Jesus not getting game time at City, throw the names in the mix. The...
  14. Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

    Levy would come in his pants if that were on offer. It's clearly nonsense. The state of sport 'journalism' covering football is truly awful. Clickbait.
  15. Harry Kane | "I will be staying at Tottenham this summer and will be 100% focused on helping the team achieve success."

    I can't believe that people on here give credence to the bullshit on twitter about City swapping players with Spurs to get Kane. Firstly the City players mentioned are without doubt on way more money than Spurs would be willing to pay and secondly why would any of them want to swap the PL...
