Aarons?

That's him! 

Did we actually realese him or did Newcastle take him? 

Did we release a lad who went on to play for Newcastle? Sure he was a winger? Maybe 10-15yrs ago?

Marley Watkins came closer than most to achieving this, when smashing Tommy Kalas's chin with his nut at Wigan, I think it was

Broke his jaw didn't he?

Never understand why this gets to people so much. 

And me, doesn't bother me at all. 

No one said they're afraid we might lose him in summer yet?

All because the bigger clubs wanted less fixtures, voted for more European games, so the smaller teams miss out on extra income and the bigger clubs make more.

Sure I've seen a few teams playing friendly games abroad during breaks as well?

It wasn't me who made that comment hence the immature bit in brackets. I said all along he was better "for us" than Bentley but got shouted down on numerous occasions.

Wasn't aimed at you, I've seen your comments before. Just didn't word it right

Not only that but the only Goalkeeper in the list. For someone who makes routine saves every week that are over egged by all and sundry on here (I'm being extremely immature I know........) that's some achievement.

Maybe they look routine because his positioning is good in the first place and doesn't make camera saves like previous keepers

Luton took a punt on Ross Barkley and that’s worked out pretty well. Just hope Dele doesn’t price himself out of going to a team like that so that he can play. 

I had a Luton in mind but I think he's going to set his sight higher. 

Palace maybe or certainly when Roy was there. Leeds possibly if they come up could suit him. Abroad won't suit him unless it's Celtic or Rangers

Very good interview with Dele Alli on MNF. He seems in a much better place now, mentally. Talking about wanting it again and being hungry. Only 28.  Will be interesting to see where he goes next.  Wants to go to the World Cup in 2026.  His priority needs to be going to somewhere where he will play. 

Was just about to say the same. 

He seemed a bit quiet at first during the game but whist talking about his career he's got a smile on his face the whole time and very determined to get back to his high levels. Hopefully he can! 

I wonder what team would take a gamble on him?

Hat trick

Looking good. 

2 mistakes from the clown Pockford 

Regarding penalties we've been awarded the 3rd most in the championship. After so long without one! 

A lot of money wasted there!

Still annoyed we didn’t send Birmingham down in 2017. 

Was going to say the same! 

I think even a draw would've sent them down and Flint had a good chance to equalise but put it over the bar.

How did they put five last Sunderland?

Ice cool that lad! What a game at Stamford Bridge! 

Anyone else watch that tonight? Superb stuff! 

Yeah I watched it. Just like an old premier league game from 10-15 years ago

A little taster from journalist Nick Harris. Man City have threatened him with injunctions and legal action for reporting their misdemeanours. 

Nick Harris@sportingintel

Lots of commentary in  past 36hrs about why PL charges under PSR rules against EFC and NFFC appear to be being expedited, while Man City's 115 charges (from an investigation dating back to 2018) linger, TBD on a now-agreed but not public timetable 1/n

Everton (for a second time) and Forest have been charged for "simple" failures to balance their books around the "acceptable" losses of £105m over a 3-year ruling period. 2/n
 
Whereas Man City's 115 charges effectively amount to accusations they were conducting financial fraud on a grand scale over a long period, and hoodwinking not just the PL but UEFA, and not co-operating. 3/n
 
We know from Football Leaks and other sources that the City hierarchy's view has long been they'd “rather spend £30m on the 50 best lawyers” and sue Uefa “for the next ten years” than accept a punishment. THIS is plutocracy. 4/n
 
They HAVE spent millions on lawyers. The've used every legal avenue possible to stall the process. When I was an MoS reporter in 2021 we used an external QC to gain access to "open justice" and attend court as City tried to stymie the PL's investigation. 5/n
 
If Man City's supposed mountain of irrefutable evidence of their innocence is ready to go, then bring it on and get it sorted. For the benefit of everyone. 6/n
 
They could have cooperated almost SIX years ago when the PL first started investigating them, and they didn't. That's their prerogative. It's not great on the optics but they don't care about optics. 7/n
 
There is also a massive (MASSIVE) political element to this case. Sheikh Mansour is the deputy PM of a significant political ally of the United Kingdom. Imagine if he and his club were shamed by multiple guilty verdicts. Unprecedented and unpalatable. 8/n
 
I'll be submitting further FOIs to try to establish the extent of British government involvement in the PL vs City case, but others so far have been fruitless. The stakes are SO much higher than whether a football club broke some football rules. 9/n
 
Some (some) City fans go to extremes to convince themselves there's no case against City. Despite having been fined 90m euros (later reduced to "only" 30m) for major breaches of financial rules, and dishonesty, and non-cooperation. Before 115 PL charges. 10/n
 
I've reported on City my whole working life. I knew, and know, people inside the club at all levels. I've been Khaldoon's guest in their directors' suite (albeit before I called them out). I have multiple sources who told me what really happened. 11/n
 
Man City's hierarchy realised around 2010 that they needed "accelerated investment' before UEFA's FFP came into force. Their solution was cooking the books. That was evident from their 2014 punishment onwards. It's all been in plain sight. 12/12

Goodnight. X

Wow! Really hope they get thrown out of the league. I've heard about the lawyers thing before and with the political side of things as well this could drag on? 

They seem very arrogant about it all.

I don’t actually think he has improved over the last few months. I think he’s been this good for over a year now.  

Agreed! I think he's only just starting to win over people after the Bentley love in.

I don’t really enjoy watching Man City play. It’s often silent at the Etihad, the football is a little slow paced for my liking. 
 

It’s all very flat.

I didn't enjoy watching his Barca team either. Bayern were good though

Thanks for explaining the background. 

Although I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't got far more things to do than watch Netflix on a bank holiday. 

I went to his first one in Bristol and it was great, but wouldn't go now as too big so walking is the best/safest option. 

Haha yeah I've been out cycling every day and I've never owned a Netflix subscription. Unfortunately since lockdowns it's what a lot of people have gotten into their routines along with a just eat order!

That Man C team is finished. Been saying it for a while, thrilled that Keane referred to Haaland as a league two player, reminds me of the ex Luton striker Steve Howard! Touch and overall play is dire to watch, massively overrated, KDB also looks past his sell-by date. Think they need some new creative players. Arsenal are the future and can see them dominating for years. 

Haaland is a strange one for that Man City team. Unless he scores he hinders the team. They were a lot more fluid before and could change things if it wasn't working. Haaland is rarely subbed isn't he? So it's usually just a change to the wide players, Doku doesn't really do much and Grealish doesn't have a great impact sometimes. They miss Mearez I think. Even Cole Palmer would've given them something different.

Why don't I need ' to get it?'

Please explain. There are people of my Generation in that video. 

What does anyone gain from walking behind a bloke playing drum and bass?

Is it a feeling of belonging? 

Just trying to get my head around waking up on a bank holiday and deciding to walk around Bristol streets following a bloke playing music on speakers? 

Drum and bass has been around for years...so it's not a new thing or for the 'kids'. 

Back in the day I used to watch local band Kosheen play regularly. 

Not being funny...just intrigued. 

These events have changed since first starting. At beginning they moved at a faster pace so it was about getting people out for ride or jog while listening music, especially after lockdowns. 

Even though it's a walking pace it's better than staying at home watching Netflix? 

I, don't think he's from around here originally. I'd guess the club gave it to him for some social media promotion.

Hes been doing these events for a few years but the last 18-24 months he's got really big.

He's a very good goalkeeper. Some of his short passes out to our defenders give me a bit of the fear though 

In most games nowadays with managers wanting to play out from the back at least one short pass out to a defender results in a mistake and attempt on goal/ a goal.
