He's become a "pathway blocker" which I thought we didn't want anymore.

Bring on one of our own wasn't it?

I think it's a big deal for Yeboah and possibly others from the academy.

What's that noise?..... oh it's one of the 5 pillars crashing to the ground....

 

 

Youth pathway is crumbling to the ground despite academy graduates playing 30% of all available minutes this season, which is happens to be the joint highest in the Championship

Marvin Elliott did it once at AG with two quick goals but forget who against. Was after SOD left.

Daft that a player with his talent has never been given a fair crack, 

Daft that fans just expect players to be played without knowing how said player has performed in training all week.

Slightly off topic but one of the oddest City related moments I’ve witnessed was seeing Gary O’Neil hobble around the London Underground on his own only a couple of hours after we lost 2-0 to Brentford.

I think you answered your own question with the last bit 

I'll wait till either one of us reaches the quarters of a champions league final before passing judgement on others.

Wand of a left foot apparently 

Slightly off on a tangent but can you have a wand of a right foot or is this phrase specifically reserved for the left?

And I'll admit to not wanting to be educated!!

Why is it every time women are discussed in footballing terms there's always a man who appears quicker than a flash to demean and underplay their achievements, why can't you just be happy for them and what they've achieved rather than downplaying it is as completely insignificant and worthless.

Can you define priority in this instance? If your definition is so they can attend and we get extra people in the stadium to what most of us see as a social event that we like to enjoy with friends over people "owning seats" in one stand then yes. But that's no definition of priority I've ever heard of.

It's not like they are taking priority over ticket availablity, you can still get priority over your seat by turning up first, I'm also not saying do it in every stand, so you have options but at the moment these casual supporters don't have any option other than to attend but sit by themselves thus defeating the objective of coming or to not attend - of which they pick not to attend because we can't sit together.

Why can't they sit together? I don't have an ST so only get to the gate a handful of times a season (Probably for the best I've only been to the Sunderland and Lincoln games this season!) but when I buy my tickets there's plenty of areas in the ground that have 7-8 even whole rows of seats available together.

and that ex player has a terrible command of the English language and arguably shouldn't be on national TV following his outburst at a kids football match.

I assume you are referring to the incident where he was cleared of any wrongdoing and had about 45 people present who could confirm he was acting in self defence!

Mate I was joking, we’ll be fine

Phew, clearly I’m not great at reading sarcasm on an Internet forum!

So people are not allowed to react then? 

Of course they can but I read one comment saying our season was over already!

It would be an overreaction even if it was confirmed that he was out for the season, to say it without even knowing the extent of his injury is absurd in the extreme

What has the bloke done?

Kept us in the division by giving youth a chance and slashing the wage bill.

Still could always go back to McInnes/SOD who did a wonderful job with the same remit.

The latest Insta videos are obscene. I used to be a fan but flashing the bling like a right bunch of chavs makes me feel sick. Absolute show pony who has done very little on the pro pitch to back up his Chelsea academy rep. He’s just a guy who wants the footballer’s life without being a footballer - waster who needs to show some humility.

 Obscene it’s him and his fiancé celebrating their engagement

Joey Barton's hated for his criminal ways but it's all forgotten with Troy's. 

Booting a defenseless student in the head . I think he should leave the politics to someone else as hes no role model.

Deeney did something terrible, did his time and has clearly grown as a person since then.

Barton on the other hand has got himself in trouble time and time again and was recently back in court for assaulting another manager the two aren’t really comparable
