  1. I like the logo, as I said before it was on my school haversack. I like the colour , I have no probs with the blue I actually quite like it. It all falls down when you have the 2 together, you cannot see any link apart from Man City. If they brought out those shirts in a range of colours , including Red I think they would be popular (allowing for price). I think often it is too easy to criticise the kits etc, if it had a different badge like Hummel or Umbro there would be a lot less noise . That said it really wouldn't take much to explain the decision with the badge. Explain the thought process and then (hopefully) say it was a mistake and we can move on.
  2. I'll leave this here with no comment, as you can't compare a League game in August with a Friendly in July ? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
  3. I wonder what excuse they'll use to change it when you get a surprise team have a great run? That said, the Sky TV Fixtures and Leeds fixtures are the same anyway, probably why Sky agreed.
  4. I'm nosey so, Google tells me that a Piling Mat is something ,to allow Piling rigs to work from .
  5. I recently read that Barcelona were around £1.3 billion in debt. They were banned from registering new players last year and I saw somewhere they wanted players to take a pay cut (again?) . They sold of TV rights and some other family silverwear and will be paying for the Stadium until 2047 (though apparently they struck a deal which means this is 5 years earlier than expected) . Didn't they sell the training ground to the Council who then gave them it back ? I don't follow it too closely so that may not be 100% right, but they have been taking the piss for ages. There is some sort of salary cap , not sure how it works (or IF ) as Barca have gone over it but seems to mean nothing. They cannot register Gavi ( and Ronald Araújo ) but according to an article from Jan, he had played 18 times by then. They play as 'B' Team players, so that Cap works then. Anyway, I'm rambling. Great way to end his career, looking at one article it said Man C were "now going to offer a long term deal" and that gundogan's representatives had been in contact with Barca. I guess if you wait so long for an offer that doesn't come you think sod it. Plus it's a great place to live.
  6. All I see is Blah, Blah ,£110 for a shirt , blah , blah, £110 for a ******* shirt ! I think it's ridiculous , but as I'm not the target audience I guess no one cares what I think. Like being at home really. ?
  7. I don't mind a big home game first up, but if we get one of those it will be moved so I'd rather not. I don't like playing promoted side early, still full of confidence and excitement. Ok if you win, but always tough. Opening away game Leicester would be good, I still haven't been to the new(er) ground. Boxing Day, don't really care as I can't usually make it. Final day, Southampton would be good. One of the few places I've been locked in a Pub by the Police. Had the Company of the Southampton Women's team to keep us amused, nice afternoon despite getting beat 3-0.
  8. It would be busy anyway, what with the Red/Red lines then Red/White but add the Red/White Hummel Chevrons ?
  9. For who though, I agree but Robinson was better than Jimmy. But then Jimmy is Jimmy. Then if they are going to ask for flat pitches will Robinson be a better bet than Anderson? I was really looking forward to seeing Jofra get amongst them , Wood has to come in for real pace you'd think . Will Moheen be fit ? I could see 2 or 3 changes.
  10. Fair play , though annoying. Really feels like a few decisions cost us, but a hell of a game again.
  11. Fair play to Root, really stepped up with his bowling. Best spell I've seen him bowl. Shame we didn't have a few more runs to play with now they are actually attacking a bit. Nervy.
  12. Moheen irratic Root can't be trusted with so few runs to play with Stokes obviously has problems Jimmy out of sorts Robinson has caused too many problems Not looking good. Go on, prove me wrong
  13. Listening to TMS while watching the TV is soo much better, mainly because KP really get on my tits.
  14. My morning FFS Mo Ooo good bowl Bit erratic Mo Brilliant ball Get the ******* thing to bounce Mo
  15. A Man City supporters group. In a statement the 1894 group said: “1894 urge you to join us in boycotting the Community Shield game against Arsenal on August 6th. “The 17:30 kick-off time presents significant travel challenges from Manchester, making it difficult for many loyal supporters to attend. It's time match-going fans were treated as a priority rather than an afterthought They are suggesting a donation to local food banks , instead of buying tickets.
  16. I stuck with it . I don't find England qualifying games exciting, the Italy one will be different though. A game needs a bit of jeopardy , these qualifiers most teams sit in against us and hope to hit on the break. Sign of a good team I guess , but doesn't always make for exciting football.
  17. I'm not a big Grealish fan, but the difference in tempo, threat, aggression , well everything , is massive. Rashford was brilliant and a real threat taking players on, committing defenders. A lot of Grealish's game seems to be making short passes to the FB out wide. Probably a bit more to it than that in reality .
  18. Descending into the realms of a Friendly match , 4 Subs for England & 3 for N. Macedonia .
