It's such a good idea, I'm starting a thread

The shop is virtually a pointless exercise as they don't even try. Such a wasted opportunity .

It's such a missed opportunity. As an exile (hopefully not for much longer), I would happily see any amount of City tat in my Xmas stocking. Pens, window kits, fridge magnets, the lot.

Loved Ralphie, imagine how he could have been even better but for being permanently 'worse for wear'

Maybe we should do an "all time City pissheads XI", there'd be plenty of competition for places

Very forward thinking country. Free public transport for all. Free internet in Luxembourg City, and ultra cheap mobile network. 

Seems they are ahead of the curve with their football as well. 

 

They've got a long track record of producing good cyclists, too - amazingly for such a small country.

Ralph Milne. Remember being chastised by a fellow city fan for shouting encouragement rather than abuse away at Walsall. Alex Ferguson fancied him after having him at Aberdeen and signed him for Man U. Ralph scored one absolute cracker in front of the East End but struggled being accused of being lazy.

Winger, not eligible. Capable of sublime moments of genius. Sold for a pile to ManUre.

Anyone remember Steve Johnson? Terry Cooper paid about £30k for him I think which was a lot for us back in the 80’s. My one memory of him was ballooning the ball over the bar when he was put through at Eastville. We lost 1-0 to a Holloway goal and can’t remember him playing for us again?! 

He was Cooper's most expensive signing at the time. The big front man we needed, given that we played with two wingers.

He could head the ball, but...

Bu99er went to Chester and scored against us.

Rashford looses possession (again) 

What has Sterling done wrong?

Give N Macedonia some credit, they've been well disciplined and tight

surely there is a left footed left back somewhere in the prem

Mitchell at Palarse

OK , he wants to play inverse wingers, but surely you have to have someone to take that space wide behind the FB.
Walker doesn't on the right and you have another right footed player on the left. There must be another left back somewhere.

Mitchell at Palarse?

This is where having a dull, plodding CB as your manager tends to be a slight tactical disadvantage.

He wasn't a dull plodder as a player, he was quite an elegant CB

They could do with an overlap. Nothing doing either side

Doesn't help playing a right footer at LB. No width.

Switched on just as Harry scored….what is this ref on?

Whatever it is, it's bloody strong stuff

East European ref, reffing a brother East European country, not so much unconscious bias, more straightforward bias.

I think that's a little simplistic. 

Foden as CAM: yes or no?

Any of the MKD players looking decent for us?

I feel sorry for Watkins. Wrong game

Kane will claim it, he's having a lean time at Bayern 

FFS Kane's first touch

The game would never end.

It would take 5 minutes to decide which way every throw in would go.

They'd do a TV review on the coin toss

Thoughts on Dublin on commentary?

Better than Friday. But that's like saying "this bucket of sick is less smelly than that one"

More slow , turgid rubbish. 

 

You're talking about Maguire, aren't you?

Maguire's head was by his knees...

Snipers, on the whole, don't do 'wild'
