Once Leicester batter us 12-0 on Friday, I should imagine there’ll be a few more returns on the OS…

I’ll say it again. Give him the summer. Let the guy find his feet. I know that’s not what was sold, but nothing we can do about that. I believe he is the right man for the job and I’m certainly excited moving forward.

I hope FGR get battered today now!

Oh **** off you weapon 

Get in! What a performance.

Think everyone needs to give their heads a wobble. Just don’t buy it, it’s as simple as that. Ahhhh, but we hate the club at the moment don’t we, so let’s just have a meltdown over everything. It’s a tshirt lads. A T-shirt. 
 

I’d understand if it was our kit, but it isn’t. Make yourselves a cup of tea. Maybe have a custard cream, and take 10 minutes out. 
 

In through the nose, out through the mouth. Is there really any need for this outrage?

And Andrew wasn’t Scottish and Patrick wasn’t born in Ireland and it’s the same for many other Countries too, what’s your point?

No point, Brother. Sick of having arguments with keyboard warriors on here, so take or leave the comment buddy, and make of it what you like.

Man United watching this and salivating at the prospect of having grey Gareth managing them soon. 

If ever a manager's been carried along by the quality of his players, its this anorak. Leading in a World Cup semi final and blew it. Leading in a Euros final and blew it. 

The blokes a chinless dork that says the right things and couldn't manage a w*nk in a sock. 

Vile 

Does nobody see the irony of this thread when you go back and read the absolute meltdown over the Robin badge .

This forum cracks me up. Absolutely no difference. 

Hit the nail on the head. We are a mid-table side finishing mid-table. Nothing more to see here really.

All I did was respond to your post: 'St George wasn't even English'.

The end.

He wasn't. 

The end.

Well, not really, as Turks didn't live in what is now Turkey in the 1st Century. He was probably Greek speaking - you'll note Geogios is a very popular Greek name - but was actually born in a town now in Israel. Let's not go there...  

I didn't know that to be fair. Still, it makes no difference on my thoughts on it. I don't really care where the guy was from, but I do love my country.

It's a sh!te argument which usually gets banded about on or around St George's Day. If you don't know the story behind why St George is England's Patron Saint then perhaps you should.

Any flag on any England Football kit should be as it is without any artistic licence required or needed.

Well, it might be a sh!te argument if I was actually arguing something . St. George was a Turk and never visited England. And I don't want to break this to you, but he didn't actually kill a dragon in Libya . I'm absolutely fine with that. I'm confused why that would even be an issue? But thanks for the unnecessarily patronising comment.

Anyway, for what it's worth, I'm as patriotic as they come. However, this is yet another case of people jumping on the old bandwagon (like the arms conference at Ashton Gate). This is just the next thing to be angry about. They have changed the St. George's cross on the back of the shirt before, but nobody said a peep. Why is everyone getting so outraged by it this year? Maybe it's a sign of the times? I think it's a stupid thing to have done. This isn't just Nike's fault, but the FA's. I'm not sure how changing our country's flag makes it inclusive? Would they have done that to another country's flag like Saudi Arabia? More questions than answers, but am I gonna get my knickers in a twist about it or get "triggered" (god how I hate that word)? Not at all. I just won't buy the shirt. I'll still wave my St Georges Cross.

Exactly, not sure why people use other sources when this can be done

Are they from the actual Nike factory though, or just a copied version? 

So the fans want to replace LM with Andy King

We talk about the owners never learning

Comedy.

The one you posted after I posted mine? Call me cynical, but there’s something slightly disingenuous about your second post only being posted after you’ve been called out.

 

Okay, think what you like. 

Have a great evening

I know you’re only posting this because you think you’re funny, and if it amuses you I’m glad.

But what you’re looking at here is a significant price rise in the place of the ground where those with the least money will buy, at a time when they have no idea what games they will be able to attend, and where the tax burden is the highest since WW2. And where the side are not scoring goals and have plummeted in the form table.

You’ve got on your horse recently about not mocking people. I’d suggest you take your own advice as a lot of those who are saying they aren’t renewing are doing so because of the increased costs.

And that isn’t funny at all.

You haven't seen my post have you?

It saddens me that some are so happy to support the mediocrity they think lower attendances are a positive.

I've supported City in way worse times than this. This is good and stable in my world. I'm genuinely confused what everyone is crying about? 
Its sad if people can't afford to go now, that's really not nice.  But if you simply aren't going because you don't like Manning, Tinnion etc, then...

If you find yourself genuinely grappling with the expense of obtaining a season ticket, and if this is impacting your mental well-being, please feel free to send me a direct message. Perhaps we can find a solution together. I've personally experienced how City has been a source of support during tough times, providing me with a sense of camaraderie with my friends. Therefore, I'd like to extend that support to you if you're facing difficulties.

Very sad news indeed. 

Thoughts are with you and your family, Scott. 

Shorter wait at the bar next season then, so a little bonus. 

Come on lads, next season is the one!

I think Arsenal are a poor comparison if the aim is to point out flaws in the club’s approach.

They appointed an ex player as Technical Director and then got rid of an experienced manager who had done well elsewhere to replace him with someone with coaching qualifications and back room experience but without comparable first team managerial experience. The fans did not take immediately but ultimately he won them over.

Arsenal may well be Mario to our Wario but ultimately they are an example our board and technical director could point to and say justifies their decision making and belief that Manning will prove us all wrong.

I don’t agree with that but trying to use Arsenal as evidence of our board’s fallacies feels like a mistake as they could just as easily be used to justify the board’s thinking.

I was about to write exactly the same thing, so thanks for saving me 5 minutes. The fans wanted him out after the first season, but after being given time to implement his way of playing etc….. You know the rest.

How I heard it was, they were preparing him more physically (bulk) in the gym. Tinnion said he was training with the team didn’t he?

That's fair Dave, yeah players and cohesion are very important.

Not totally against 4-4-2 myself but it depends on setup..Cavani and Suarez as a pair in WC 2018 was one.

We play 4-4-2 whilst we block the moment anyway.
