Just for those of you who don’t understand odds; If you put £10 on a City win at 14/1, that means you lose £10. (classic)

14’s isn’t too bad for a team showing a little bit of form. Especially adding in the covid factor.

I think anyone buying Scott for 7m is getting a complete steal. I think if he continues on the same trajectory in the next 12/18 months, he could become our record sale and it’ll be to one of the big boys.

Mate, you’re not the Artist formerly known as @reddogkevare you by chance? Just wondered as he’s gone awol in recent times and I miss his overly positive viewpoint on everything. He was very much Yin to @Andy082005’s Yang.

You can step across a defender off the ball and block his run.

No way. Clear foul *and* offside. Although Watkins’s touch is only visible to cricket players.

This is really bizarre, I really don’t like COD. But I really like COD if Pring is playing!

Christ. 11 players?!

Probably about as nice a kit as I’ve ever seen.

It’s important to note that I’m sure there’ll be games in the next five where we’re not competitive. But the consistency is on the up. It won’t just click and all go into place at the same time, we’ll regress occasionally but we have to be patient - which sadly isn’t something we’re particularly good at on otib.

One for each of your usernames.

We need a ? ? reaction.

Well this does make pleasant reading.

I’ve just re read it too. Still can’t quite believe it isn’t a parody!

My nightmare doesn’t include the manager. Just lots and lots of Fontaine and Nayatanga.

Premier League Champions and Cotts has just been poached by Real Madrid.

Christ, look at the state of this 4th goal!!! Probably one of my most vividly remembered goals against…

Remember how it became a weekly tradition to write FFS Fontaine on the match day thread? Not sure if it was under McIness, but this game still gives me nightmares… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/23565332

I don’t imagine we’re in too good a position to offer him the sort of wages that’d be sufficient for him to sign. At the price he signed for (4m rising to 8m?) then he’s got to be one of the higher earners surely? That doesn’t leave much scope for an increased salary. I think he’ll be gone if we can get 6-8m. I highly doubt he’ll sign a new deal when he could potentially secure 50k p/w on a free somewhere.

Nicky Maynard’s boy up front?

Sounds pretty familiar doesn’t it?!

Hey mate. I haven’t been on this thread for a while and I’m so desperately sorry to read your story. I lost my mum in March. Just suddenly taken ill with heart complications and died a couple of weeks later. I’d never had to deal with loss before so it’s been pretty difficult, so I can only imagine how you’re feeling. Just know that we’re here should you need us. By and large we’re a pleasant lot on here, and irrespective of whether you’re the biggest LJ fan in the world, you’re always welcome to drop me a PM. Thoughts are with you mate. Fordy

The best bit is the “I got the ball ref” bit.

Seems an appropriate time for me to remind you all that Mark Robins was my first choice to replace Holden. ?

this is amazing.
