  1. Needs to be fitter I reckon. Could do with dropping half a stone.
  2. One of my favourite ever city players and scored my favourite ever goal in the away game at Palace. Hardly any backlift and unbelievable strike. Bet him a few times for first goal scorer and he also delivered for me. Didn’t we sign him for £50k!? Bargain.
  3. Definitely a hit for me. Enjoy going to AG now and feel optimistic for the future. Feel more invested in the club again. We were so so bad when he took over!
  4. Those nuns cover more ground than Bakinson.
  5. As they say ‘never go back’.
  6. Ben1980

    Antoine

    Not to be negative but not sure I’d put Pring in quite the same category as those 3.
  7. We’ll be very lucky to get that sort of money for him. Other teams know he has no future at AG and have a strong position on fee.
  8. Midfield 5 of hunt,vyner,lansbury,palmer and ssesegnon - the stuff of nightmares
  9. Man of the match for me. Won everything in the air and some good composure on the ball.
  10. Got booed by the Reading fans when he came on!
  11. My feelings towards LJ are similar to yours- pretty ambivalent really. Don’t like him that much but don’t dislike him that much either. Much more warmth towards Cotts who I would root for elsewhere. As others have said, I always felt that LJ would have been better off focusing on the basics (man management, consistency in team selection etc) rather than messing around in Michelin star restaurants. Thankfully it feels like we now have a manager who talks with clarity and has a non-nonsense approach which I personally much prefer.
  12. Would be a whole lot more frustrating if we were on the fringes of the play-offs or relegation zone. We’ll get there in the end. Hopefully we’ll stop conceding the late goals when it really counts.
  13. I’d leave him out if I was Austria boss- just in case he gets injured!
  14. No surprise that the Luton Manager said that. Such a missed opportunity and so frustrating (as Nige said post match).
  15. Very generous to give a 5 for O’Leary- 3 at best for me. Can’t remember him making a save and at fault for both goals. Wonder if Nathan Jones saw the Cardiff opening goal at the weekend with O’Leary rooted and employed it is a tactic to put crosses right into the six yard box knowing that he wouldn’t come. Bentley back in goal for Saturday. Would put my mortgage on it.
  16. Nakhi must have a chance conversion rate of about 1% this season
  17. What a player he was on his day! Unplayable.
  18. Shaun Goater for me.
  19. Thought Pack looked good - their best player. Looked leaner and trimmer to me than when he was at AG. A friend of mine worked at Airhop and used to chat to him when he took his kids. Said he was a very nice bloke. Would have him back on a free.
  20. Trouble is that the main other parts of his game that he needed to get together were work-rate,attitude and desire. Not sure you learn that- it’s either ingrained or it’s not.
  21. Bakinson is no big loss. Lacked desire and often looked lazy. Remember the game against Bournemouth when he came on. Strolled around despite the fact we were down to 10 men. Frustrating player- suited to league one. Loved the press conference and the comparison with Alex Scott! Palmer next hopefully.
  22. Poor from Paterson. Knew the terms and signed. Probably plenty of players of similar ability without clubs. Swansea took a punt on him and are rewarded with a tantrum - all because he has done better than expected.
  23. The Everton board don’t seem to have a clue. Therefore could happen I reckon.
