more like perp guardiola

Like to think Citeh have a platoon of ball boys surgically altered to have entirely smooth, featureless faces

First club to really embrace the transhuman

City really like to keep their fans on their toes eh. Well done though.

no doubt not possible under their contracts and counter productive in terms of 'losing the dressing room' but if i were a manager i would be seriously tempted to fine canos at least a months wages for that shit yesterday. getting booked for taking your shirt off is such a pure example of ego over team that i'm amazed managers let players get away with it.

also i both understand and at the same time don't really understand the emphasis the media/punditry class put on individual players winning trophies. those medals clearly mean something well after retirement but from the outside looking in it feels like grealish should be more satisfied with last season than this. record signing, attacking player, most important domestic game your team plays in the entire season, everything is going wrong and the coach doesn't see you as the answer?

everton surely going down next season assuming they're not allowed to buy any players. must have the most unathletic team in the league. had forgotten that dele alli was there now, and will no doubt forget again by october.

They’re surely going to have to attempt to sell the club.

They report objective facts for once and still apologize?

It's Manchester United who should be apologizing to Manchester United fans, amirite?

Forest apparently willing to stump up £180 k pw for Lingard doesn't surprise me. If they've got the financial clout to fix playoff finals then they can afford that.

lmao Everton lost 4-0 to Minnesota United of MLS.

I was going to say "well, it was their D squad", but their starting 11 is already a D-squad, so idk if that would have helped.

xp, Oof, just seen that Forest have signed the two players with the denied penalties in the final, yr feelings towards the tricky trees cannot be warm right now

The EPL needs a motto, what's Latin for "More money than sense"?

plus pecunia quam sapientia?

O’Brien was the heartbeat of the team and is irreplaceable, his departure is probably the reason Corberan walked. Toffolo on the other hand had a pretty indifferent season till the last dozen games where he suddenly turned into to best leftback in the champo. But I doubt he'll be first choice, nor make any impact in the prem. And we can't really complain about the manner of his leaving, we got him from Lincoln for a song after he'd seen out his contract to the last year and refused to sign a new one there, same again. And he's been replaced by the impressive looking Japanese international, Yuta Nakayama. But they've had our pants down with O'Brien, he's worth double the alleged £8m and add ons. Hope they go bust etc...

Charity Shield was against all odds an actually great game. Haaland ok did fuckall eventual, but I coould see him dominating the next season, he's a fucken beast

I thought it was kind of telling that he spent an hour or so making smart runs off the shoulder with no one picking him out in favour of playing a safe backwards or sideways ball

within 15 seconds of Nunez coming on Liverpool were pinging balls over the top for him to chase every time they got on the ball.

It almost certainly won’t make a difference in the long run but it’s fucking criminal how boring city are with the talent they’ve got

Haaland is going to score boatloads. Don’t fancy having to look at his mug constantly, but he’s built for the PL.

He would score boatloads anywhere he played tbf

Haaland is going to score boatloads. Don’t fancy having to look at his mug constantly, but he’s built for the PL.

well sure but i'm not looking forward to watching it is what i'm saying

there is a reality in which Grealish wide on the left with Haaland up top is a joyfully destructive wrecking machine but i don't think this will go down like that. Haaland will score for fun and City will be unstoppable anyway but whatever else it may be it doesn't look like being an aesthetic triumph

which is not a judgement on 70 mins of a young player making his debut in a meaningless pre-season friendly so much as a condemnation of Guardiola's City in the round. boring cunts.

Are we starting a new thread
