Loco Rojo

One thing today though OTIB, these lads need support today not bashing after 5 minutes when a pass goes wrong. I'd like to think (hope) that OTIB recognises this and won't have the typical melt down, just once....please. ?

We're really going for it today according to the BBC. Towler up front ?

I'm loving the amount of Academy players starting. Why not. Good luck lads.

(Best i could find for a hornets nest i'm afraid)

Chelsea have announced annual losses of £145m. Thank funk for that. We're not tye worst. Football. What a sustainable industry. Can't wait for City to get to the Premier League.

100% agree. @ the Mods can we pin this thread to the top of the Forum so we can refer people to it over January?

Stay safe mate. It may not be the day you wanted but it'll be one you remember for a long time. Anyway, weather is crap here so best to stay in and enjoy that Xmas meal.

Quick, someone get on the blower to Jerseybean to give him a heads up before he starts his monster match day thread essay!

Any chance you can change it to Kasey Palmer what with the January transfer window just around the corner? Never know who might be reading these! ?

Thanks both. Also, have either of you experienced crash dump messages in game in the last week? Seems to happen at random. (It's only happened since the latest update). It's not a graphics driver issue as that's up to date. Just wondered if it's just me? Perhaps even my laptops telling me something about my management skills. ?

Got City relegated in my first season ?. Either I'm crap or they've nailed on how poor this City team is. Had to sell a load of the players as they wanted to leave but I've managed to build a £20m transfer kity. 2nd season in and currently 2nd in League 1 (after 6 games) with a smaller squad but looking quite good (and I've still got the £20m for January). Quite enjoyed beating these L1 teams. Question though - any good suggested formations/tactics I can use to have 2 up front?

This is possibly one of the most frustrating things for me. People's ignorance not to consider others. Some may not care about their own health and be happy to take the risk (or think there isn't a risk at all), but it's their ignorance that could impact those around them. Especially with so many packed in to the Gate, some of which will be very vulnerable. I hope the club gets this right.

(Not suggesting you are) but I struggle to understand why people would look for loop holes in this. Setting up the NHS app to show your double vaccination takes a matter of minutes and is simple. If you don't have a phone you can get a paper covid passport (I believe). Simple. If you can't have the jabs for medical reasons then I'm sure there must be some excemptions in place (rightly). If you're one of those that are anti vax or just couldn't be bothered to get vaccinated then **** em. No sympathy. The only thing that is more of a concern or unknown to me is how the club is going to be set up ready to check EVERYONE and whether staff actually will.

Hampshire Red/s got another name now? Can't keep up. ?

Thank you City. A good regret for a Saturday night.

Just said on SSN that Derby haven't scored 2 away goals in 20 League games! A bad City omen if ever there was one.

Not confident. Really hope we do well but I'm struggling to see anything other than 0-1 or 0-2 Derby. Come on City, make me regret it please. ?

I was wondering about this too last night and why it's only now being reported on so much. There does seem to be something about the media repeatedly reporting a theme after an event. Almost like it's fashionable for the media to do it until they get bored of it and move on to the next thing. I wonder if it's that. This isn't a new thing but the media just hadn't reported on it as much as it wasn't fashionable or headline grabbing for them.

Could copy and paste that on to the OTIB match day thread after 5 minutes.

Ah I see, so by your logic the goal records set by Australia v American Samoa (31-0) must make the men's football look sub standard?

Is that Matt Hale? Thought it was Hulbert. That's age and eyesight for you.

Love that kit in that article. Although Robin Hulbert looks like he could've done with a bigger size ?

Boris's incompetence continues. So under the new rules of wearing a mask on the train and in shops works like this. I've got COVID, catch a train (masked) to a busy restaurant, (don't wear a mask when I walk in, to/from the toilet etc and when leaving). Catch the next train (masked) and head to the busy pub. Spend a few hours in the pub moving around speaking to people, un-masked) then he'd to a club for more socialising (again un-masked). Lucky for everyone COVID is only dangerous on trains and in shops. Appreciate masks aren't full proof but they do their bit to reduce the risks. This new rule has been badly thought out and no doubt won't be implemented or policed properly.

'Lansdown hand his dusty wallet to Pearson' classic arrogant and disrespectful post. Lack of any concept of the financial differences between the 2 sports and in particular the financial constraints this football club are in. Do some research. Close thread mods.
