Gallagher has been playing left wing most this half because Sterling doesn’t do anything

Ederson out of the Arsenal game.
Although, as with all things City, they're lucky most of it is over the international break.
Drool all you want but Ortega’s probably the fourth best keeper in the league, annoyingly.
I'm a twit
Man City are mongs for selling Cole Palmer.
Sterling not squaring it for an open goal yet again. Cunt
Great goal involvement by Cole Palmer. Just amazing how involved he was in that goal.
Jackson is so fucking good and I’ll hear no different.
They aren’t. He’s not top level you can see that from watching him. He’s a good player but he’s not top, top, top quality.Originally Posted by Sir Andy Mahowry
Howe is either getting the sack at the end of the season or invited to the embassy and chopped up into little pieces.
He’s got over 10 league goals in basically his first full season playing in a horrendous team lol
He's better than Julian Alvarez.
City probably had little choice really. He's good enough to have been pushing for a place in the team. They've not long spunked Ł100m on Grealish, have Foden already and KDB is first name on the team sheet. Never mind Silva, Alvarez, Bobb and Doku vying for places.
He wasn't going to wait around when he can get a big pay bump and a start every week in that London. City get a decent fee for him and move on, wiping their tears with money Woody Harrelson style.
As I said he’s a good player. But he’s not getting in that City team ahead of De Bruyne or Foden as he’s not at that level. Which means from City’s viewpoint Ł40 million of pure profit makes far more sense.
But Alvarez doesn’t play off the right Foden does. Who he’s not better than.
I’ve seen this story before. Pochettino making 2 subs up to the 90th minute whilst the team is dead on their feet.
Wonderful management I thought. Just sheer coaching magic.
Cole Palmer looks like a Chernobyl victim
Must be his Caribbean genes. Not a Bonnie laddie
Newcastle never stood a chance.
Worth every penny.
Fucking bring on the Euros and some more English football heritage
Michael Edwards done today, Hughes shortly. Get Xabi Alonso sorted lads.
First thing on the agenda:
die plzAs such, one of the biggest factors in my decision is the commitment to acquire and oversee an additional club, growing this area of their organisation.
Yeah it seems like they want to get into the multi-club model.
This is apparently why he chose to turn down United and Chelsea. They wanted him as more of a standard sporting director, whereas now he's fully running at least Liverpool, but soon to be one or more new clubs.
FIFA really needs to get on and ban the multi-club model.
Maybe they spy an opportunity to acquire Everton.
There needs to be a complete ban on player loans.
Didn't the two+ club thing used to be against the rules?
Time for a look at Article 5 (this is what football is all about):

Not sure how this is going to work with, say, Girona qualifying for the CL next year.
They just worm their way out of it with separate management caveats/lies - like the Red Bull Group. Both Brighton and their Belgian subsidiary were in the Europa League this year, although maybe that's a minority shareholding situation.
I'm no legal expert (...you know the rest) but a quick skim read through those has me wondering whether any of it is actually enforceable, or enforceable beyond a robust legal challenge back? If UEFA couldn't dictate that football contracts worked differently to standard contracts of employment or bypass freedom of movement in the EU, can they actually stop owners owning more than one club? My gut says not.
I guess any challenge to the assertion that they can would be along the lines of how proportional it would be to enforce a strict/absolute ban, rather than satisfying themselves that the patsy directors/shareholders of the subservient group club, isn't it Pep's brother at Girona lol, are actually completely free to make their own decisions etc and not at all in the thrall of CFG/Red Bull/whoever.
IIRC ther'es an ironic twist that it's allowed because of EU competition law but if it was ever actually challenged it could be ruled out by EU competition law so UEFA decided they couldn't be bothered with the paper work and legal fees and let Red Bull and go skate free
What happens if Red Bull Leipzig and Red Bull Margate get drawn against each other, do we all just pretend the result isn't pre-determined?
The latest moans from Scotland fans about Ryan Gauld's omission from the squad made me check his wikipedia. As if it's a full 10 (ten!) years since Waff was waxing lyrical about him on here.
In related news I've agreed to go to Munich for the opener with the in-laws. Getting the England/Scotland half and half top ready.
Everton fans running riot today. Rafa sacked from Celta Vigo and Anthony Gordon out for 7 months. Plus they don’t have to watch Everton for nearly three weeks.

They know what's coming.
Might have a flight myself as I know a Brighton fan who has one booked, which I doubt they are going to use.
They should move it if the huns get there.
Maybe I'll see you there. 👏 Did you get a ticket in the ballot?In related news I've agreed to go to Munich for the opener with the in-laws. Getting the England/Scotland half and half top ready.
Liverpool v Rangers please. 10,000 religiously-motivated murders in a confined space would be a fitting way for Klopp to bow out.
Actually, isn't the much more likely Liverpool v Roma a repeated hooligan event down the years? Surely they'll have to think about playing somewhere else if the red men get through.
Every domestic match I attend it seems like you're under 24/7 security and then every european home game the away end looks like the 80s
Doesn't work like that, but yeah, it's going to be an invasion of unprecedented scale if it happens. Like hundreds of thousands.
Best of luck to anyone looking for a hotel. The few that aren't turned into asylum centres will be about 3 grand a night.
I'll come and stay with you.
7 hours on foot from central Dublin IIRC.
Wouldn't be far off it.
These Champions League refs are doing my nut in.
No tickets yet. Not too hopeful for the opener but will probably drive up to Cologne and try and get tickets for the Switzerland game. Give us a shout if you're in Munich.
Arsenal are terrified. Distance between the front and the back line is massive.
Lol the Arsenal ball boy getting shit for two balls on the pitch at once and it's a bunch of millionaires shouting at a kid with one leg.
