How much did city pay for maicon?

£3.5m apparently.

 

[King of Otters]

Great stuff.

Tyler pisses me off. He speaks in admonishing tones about the crowd trouble but when Neville talks about the game he always wants to switch the focus back to the violence.

 

[Leo]

Nasri was such a pussy there.

 

[kazzah9]

£3.5m apparently.

Ah, thought it was more. Kind of an odd signing.

Rob Harris ‏@RobHarris
Police arrest man at Manc derby "on suspicion of committing a racially aggravated public order offence after officers hear racist chanting"

Chain reaction.

 

[kazzah9]

Chain reaction.

Here we go again... :|

Stuart in Liverpool on text via 81111: "Johnson is the best right back in the Prem by a country mile. Anyone who watches him regularly knows this. Technically he's the best English player too, bar none."

 

[VegasII]

£3.5m apparently.

Most of the price is in upfront taxi fees.

 

[SugarRay]

Quite depressing that approaching the half way point we are a point in front of West Ham!

Mixture of them punching way above their weight and us being pathetic at times at home.

Not any more

 

[kazzah9]

Deffo not anymore

 

[SugarRay]

Even more depressing...only 4 points in front of Liverpool!

Seriously though, as crap as they are if they get one or two in of real quality they could finish above us ( Pewel that is, not the shite from east London )

 

[Marty]

We're still fifth, it's important to remember that. Mainly because other teams are poor but why do people expect all of them to suddenly get better and see us slide further down?

The Goons might because they're so fucking lucky with ludicrous things going their way, but I don't think WHAM!, Pool or any of the other teams below us are going to improve significantly in the second half of the season and usurp us.

Similarly, if we get in one or two of real quality we leave them well behind again.

Battle of the chairmen this Jan. This is it, Daniel. Put up or shut the fuck up. Once and for all. It's on you.

Dunno. It's always like this.

This is going to be a season of runs. I was briefly worried we might not be top5/6 there but I'm reasonably confident we will. Top 4 is a much tougher ask and always was going to be in my mind. The way the season has gone so far, we could actually do it but I was expecting the top teams to be much much more stable after last season's shenanigans. Didn't think it would ****ybooby two yrs on the trot.

Have no faith at all in whoever conducts our transfer activity.

Fully expect to miss the boat yet again.

Looking like that going by most Jan windows over the last decade. Never know though. Very very occasionally we do something out of the blue. But yeah, best not to get hopes up.

 

[SugarRay]

Oh yeah, it's the hope that kills. Hence why I expect us to finish no higher than 5th every season, reach a semi final or two and sell Bale to replace him with Downing.

 

[Jimmypearce7]

Last week every result perfect. This week every result wrong. Shame Liverpool came back, they are a threat and WHU aren't.
