E.G.Red

He signed a 5 year contract in 2017, so presumably OOC in the Summer. The trial is now scheduled for Jul/Aug so highly unlikely to be a Man City player then. Any thoughts of Man City suing him though would presumably have to wait until the result of the trial.

I think now he is a starter in the team, he can only go on to improve and lose that naivety. As they say practise makes perfect A run of games for him can only be a good thing

Also nice to see our players such as Kalas and Max make a point of going up to him at the end of the match.

Premier league ref Haven't seen any glaring errors yet

And the QPR fans have called him out over it, so doesn't appear to go down too well with them either.

Interesting how many fans and pundits bemoan the fact that referees do not have any experience as a professional player. The ref tonight was Andy Davies the only EFL ref to have played professional football (Yeovil, Gillingham, Portsmouth)A point Nigel was quick to make tonight in his after match comments and his incredulity at some of the decisions made (or not made) tonight .

Especially as so many declared they would never step inside Ashton gate to watch the rugby.

Seems a few are opting for the rugby now. Just need to remember that it’s a 2pm KO.

Don't need to worry now that the game is postponed

Trouble is extending the season causes an issue for next season with The World Cup in November.

Not outrageous, but when West Ham v Leeds is £15 & £5 children, you wonder how City works out their prices. Yes children are £1 but adults won’t pay the £23 to accompany them.

PCR’s don’t give an instant result, whereas a lateral flow does . Also you can pick up Lateral Flow test at your library (pack of 7) or from certain pharmacies

But also a target for Liverpool (who might not offer as much as Newcastle)

Recommend stocking up on lateral flow tests from local library or from local pharmacies via NHS app

It's working again now, but I can imagine 2.45 on a Saturday afternoon the system could be overloaded

I agree. While he is paid to be provocative, I think some of his comments hit the bail on the head. Particularly with regard to Football finances, and the workings of the majority of footballers contracts.

Well done England 20-0 and unlike the men, kept the pressure up until the final whistle.

13-0 now, but why is it on the Amazon Prime thread

Exactly as COD inferred in his after match interview.

I think LJ had a love for the club, and MA a love for the profit. So I hope LJ wins , he gave us some good times and some not so good. He’s on one of his infamous losing streaks at the moment and is under pressure having had only 1 win in their last 6 competitive games , but tomorrow could be the day that changes .

I would hope in a 'normal' job that the management would be supportive rather than scrutinising. I know several people in 'normal' occupations who have/are suffering from long covid who are getting support from their employers. Without this support they could easily become depressed. Unfortunately this virus and its effects are a learning curve for all of us. Football is a cut & throat business, but I hope we give Nig a bit more time, and that the players step up.

Unfortunately 'indefinite leave' appears to be a common feature for many with long covid. You feel better and then you are knocked back again. You only have to look at Steve Cotterill .

Interesting that on Monday TALKSPORT have an Interview special with Neil Warnock pla ned some time ago to celebrate his longevity. Don't know if it is prerecorded or live (If the former it will need an addendum). Maybe he will mention us, as he has done in previous interviews.
