Luckily we have such a great pipeline of young talent to fill those spaces..
Thanks to Lord Brian Tinnion.

According to the presser he didn’t train last week and considering the time out he has to be fit for the bench at best.
He’s fit enough to sit and watch a game of football surely that’s a positive.

Spotted at Bristol airport, tossing a kilt in a bin and sipping on a can of Thatcher's Gold.
People say he’s a bit of a tosser.

But then why have we loaned in Mebude to sit on the bench?
To go with the other ‘ Manning ‘ player Scott Twine. What a difference these two fellas have made.

My concern is that if the worse were to happen then they may think, perhaps not wrongly, that Manning could mount a promotion challenge .

It would be less toxic than the one LM inherited.

It all boils down to Lansdown I’m afraid. He would like promotion to the Prem but either can’t or won’t bring in the quality of coaching staff and players that could enable us to get there.
He has wasted millions on people who are not quite good enough and when he fell on those that were he bottled it and got rid.
He is slowly suffocating the life out of the club and needs to change his policy or hand the reins over to someone who knows how to make a success out of a, don’t laugh, comatose giant.
The crowds will eventually drop as apathy sets in.

Other fans seem to perceive him as the English Pep in waiting. He may well be successful at some point; it just doesn’t feel like it will be with us.
He’ll probably learn all the necessary lessons here before going on to win the Champion’s League and World Cup .

Why couldn’t Manning get the players up for the three precedent games ?

The Ipswich commentary just referred to both managers as "tactically astute," which I'm sure we can all unreservedly agree with
You misheard it was ‘ tactically a stoat ‘

Thought exactly the same. Really strange thing to admit in an interview
If I was McKenna I’d be telling the right sides players to get at Pring from the off
Could it be a double bluff. Straw firmly grasped .

Don’t want turn the Matchday thread into yet another debate about LM and his future but I have seen this point many times about the players not being his and all will be well when he can bring his own players in.
Well that may be true but until that time arrives the coach must get the best out of the players he’s got.
Poor performances can’t be excused by saying it’s not his players and they can’t play the style he wants.
He must play to the style that suits the players he has.
The best interests of the club have to take priority over the principles, beliefs or behaviours of the coach.
Be flexible, employ styles and tactics that utilise the abilities of the players and put some points on the board which will give you some leeway with the fans.
I agree ,apart from Klopp and Gardiola, which coach has a hundred percent of his players in the squad these days ?
Which coach has the luxury of all the time he wants with his players ?
I don’t think Manning is the right fit for the club we continue to ,as the French say , ‘ fart above our arseholes’ .- 1

Why is Lewis Capaldi a "gob shite"? Seems one of the most genuine people in the business.
Anyway back on subject...
Not expecting anything tonight, don't know why I'm bothering to go but it's just my thing, I don't get many opportunities so I go to any game I reasonably can.
I just want to see something different to Saturday. Something to suggest that Manning has taken stock of what's not working and at least attempted to change it - and I want to see a reaction from the players. I don't actualy blame any of them for what's happening yet, I haven't seen any downing of tools as such, but I want to see them running through walls tonight.
He may be genuine and probably is but he has got a big gob and I was only really joking although I don’t like his guttural singing style or the fact that someone in my family has built an ‘ altar’ in his honour.
I wish you and all the other sufferers a safe journey and a good match to enjoy. It would be very ‘City ‘ to win tonight. -

Got a tape? Probably prefer that version?
There must be something in the water…
Tape ? Bless you , you old love . It went directly onto YouTube where by popular request it was taken down with almost immediate effect.

There are very few people I despise more than insipid minstrel Ed Sheeran.
Add that Scottish gobshite Lewis Capaldi to the list.
I have a family member who is a big fan and my son thought it a good idea for us to sing one of his songs for her on her birthday !
Strangely she is still a big fan but has never asked us to ‘ perform ‘ for her since.
