He’s certainly a bit special. His board management is amazing, so quick it’s almost instinctive. Imagine the Power in his prime against this kid…….……

I’ve heard of Will Self………..

Nor me.

That was the most enjoyable presser that I’ve seen from Manning. He seemed very relaxed and in a good place - possibly because it’s the last game and pressure isn’t so great. A little disappointed that he didn’t ‘big up’ Williams tho. JW has been excellent and very influential in the engine room. I wanted Manning to say that he’d like to keep him but wasn’t forthcoming.

I’m gaining pop in the bookies tomorrow to see what the odds are. Jak Jones has been playing some great stuff,

Yep - Selby, Williams, Trump, Higgins four big guns all gone and if Ronnie goes a lower ranked player like Jak Jones could win it.

Absolutely - he was all over the place and just couldn’t get going. However he definitely didn’t get the run of balls. Everything seemed to go against him. It happens in lots of sports.

Kodjia was a decent striker but nowhere near worth the £15m Villa paid for him.

The boring fact is that I’ve heard absolutely nothing, not even another far fetched rumour……

Nowhere near £7m - not even half that. I can see too many weaknesses in Conways game and if I can see them so can potential buyers. I’d be as amazed as I was when Villa paid £15m for Kodjia if another decent English club offered £3m

Blimey those images take me down memory lane but the EE always seemed much fuller back then. It got so packed that it was a struggle to move anywhere. We used to try and stand at the back where it was easier to go for a piss.

I’ve had difficulty with the WiFi at AG for years and years. I’ve tried changing phones but it’s made no difference. It’s irritating that those around me don’t seem to have the same difficulties. Its worse at half time when every other bugger is catching up with ht scores nationwide. Not being technically gifted I’m assuming that it’s a problem with the way my iPhone is set up………

Wishful thinking Sleepy. However the SPL would be a perfect destination should Conway move on. He’d be up against decent defenders around 4 games a season, get to play in Europe - what’s not to like?

‘Some promise’ is about right. TC is learning his game and maturing all the while. I’d be genuinely surprised if a bid of over £2m came in for him. If City do bring in a decent CF and Manning plays two up top then I can see that benefitting Conway. Having another striker alongside would provide more goal poaching opportunities and develop him into a better striker.

It proves that Conway had lost control of the ball. The keeper badly messed up as the ball was going out of play.

Arnie Slot has a far more impressive CV than Benny had.

The Bears are on a roll having hammered Northampton and Newcastle. Wonderful comeback at Leicester ever since Pat Lam was ‘advised’ by SL to go back to playing ‘the Bears way’. The pep talk certainly worked! I quite fancy the Bears to win at the Stoop.

Speak for yourself DaveSA. Yeah Sky Sports is expensive but being retired I have plenty of time to get what I consider value for money. It’s not only football that I enjoy either. As a huge cricket fan Sky’s coverage is fantastic showing every test match, many of the IPL games and England ODI’s and inter county one day competitions and T20s (not that I watch much T20 unless Somerset are playing) Premier League PDC darts including all the slams. No way would I consider cancelling it.

Hopefully Williams will be offered a new deal and that Twine is signed but as per usual none of us are truly ITK on City’s fiscal matters. As for Stokes and Murphy - we’ve seen before that the step up can be too big for some so only time will tell if they’ll have Championship quality. Conway has refused to sign a new deal which suggests that he wants to move and BT reckons that a decent CF is in the offing. This summer will be like a child waiting for Xmas day for many of us. Hopefully any business is done early so we can all sleep without the exciting anticipation………

Just based on their results RLL.

The only time I watch women’s football is when the England ladies are on TV. I have never ever watched a women’s match ‘live’. However due the exposure our ladies get on the OS and local bulletins their results are kinda forced onto me. I honestly couldn’t name one player from the women’s team.

I guess it could mean that he’s played his last professional game or that he’s moving away. My hope is that he’s staying on Mannings coaching team - he has a great deal to offer.

I don’t get why two shirts means that he’s not staying. I can only guess that they’re being put away as he’s no longer playing.

Well said Graham - Andy King has been a terrific player all through his career and that was reflected when the Foxes came to AG earlier this season and their fans were chanting his name. That’s how much they loved him. He’d played under Nige at Leicester and they developed great admiration for each other and Nige was the main factor why he joined us. Andy King is now on Mannings coaching team and who knows maybe he’ll move into management at a later stage

No idea Nick…….. I don’t live in that neck of the woods.
