    If people want to ignore or engage with a thread that is up to them, some of Nevs threads are things I engage with, some aren't (mostly the more random ones), but all forums survive on user generated content, and the reason this forum is one of best and busiest is because a lot of posters use it and contribute.

    We also have the MODS who do a good job of sifting through the nonsense.

    I wouldn't want to see that change, especially as I do post quite a lot of nonsense myself.

    Just my view, mind.

    Can only echo what others have written John is one of the nicest people you can meet supporting City

    Ironically got to know him better through commuting to work on the train

    There are a long list of many others who post utter shite on this forum that would be higher up the list than John

    As for what we see when modding etc, if only you could all see some of the stuff we get off the pages

    Personally, and I speak for EVERYONE on the forum ?, I'd like to see @bristolcitysweden bought back if possible 

    Never going to happen, he was given multiple warnings and bans over the years, and given multiple opportunities (unlike ANY other poster on OTIB) to be allowed back on here under the pretence he towed the line

    We all know Tommy has a unique style of posting but "we" can't keep allowing someone to return when many others are banned and not even given a second chance

    For those in touch with Tommy his style would be more suited TO THIS CITY FORUM

    The thing I'd criticise Southgate for is that he didn't just play a shadow squad and rest the players who needed a rest.

    Likes of Kane, Sterling,  Mount, Rice, Saka, Maguire, Walker and even Pickford did not need to play any of these games. Even  Alexander Arnold and Foden should've been sent on holiday and told to have a proper pre-season.

     

    The likes of Phillips, Trippier, James, Grealish, Coady, Abraham, Bellingham should've been the main players for this with others like JWP, Timori, Bowen and a few others given more gametime. 

    It would've been better in the short, medium and long term.  He's messed up strategically with his planning.

    My concern is a lot of our main players will pick up injuries early in the season simply because of fatigue and others will arrive at a very condensed tournament tired and not at their best. 

    If I were an EPL manager I'd particularly be looking at Italians, Hungarians, Norwegians, Swedes, Ukrainians, Egyptians to sign. Any country not at the World cup basically because those who do make it are likely to be spent 2nd half of the season. The others will have had a lovely break.

    Many countries will only be playing 3,maybe 4 maybe 5 games 

    Not going to impact on anyone that greatly 

    What will be interesting and I don't know the answer is what clubs will do during the world cup break. There's no way they won't play games as players will lose sharpness etc

    Yep, but our useless manager kept him on the bench all night while practically every other midfielder/striker played some part

    The simple answer is he knows what Grealish brings to the team so didn't need to ha a look at him tonight 

    The others were playing for their places

  4. It's an odd feeling sometimes how seeing your side come unstuck is oddly satisfying 

    They'll get loads of abuse as more of a fans night at the game rather than day trippers with their face painting at Wembley

    We’re the boos for maguire or the Southgates decision then ?

    I'd imagine a combination of both 

    You know in December when Harry is lifting the trophy we'll look back as the turning point ?

    People need to relax a little.  Only 5 of this team are in southgates first team and it’s come at the end of a long season 

    Exactly this, it's shown who won't be on the plane

  7. I understand your point and agree with you, but bet the answer will be that they all had to be set up by a set date to ensure payments all came out at the same time. 

    Otherwise I guess there could have been higher amounts (less months to pay in) or even a double payment to start with. 

    There would always have to be a cut off date so guess this is why?

  8. I understand that the game at weekend was behind closed doors so was irrelevant really where it was played, but how on earth did Wolves get awarded a full England International fixture? 

    Even odded that the women play there Thursday night, or maybe they were awarded tonight's game if they hosted Thursday nights game? 

    Thinking about it, almost as random as Leicester hosting the charity shield

    Can anyone tell me, have the club stopped allowing the purchase of Season Cards by instalments ?

    Yes I think that option ended when the priority period ended.
