I would like an explanation from Old Mother Riley as to how a player can receive a booking for off-pitch dead-ball removal of shirt and no card for the most blatant time wasting by a goalkeeper since the last keeper turned up at The Etihad. Refs are ripping a pocket off to get the card out and all they do for timewasting is stand looking and impersonating Pontius Pilate.
It’s as though we don’t train for penalties, we struggle to score them and can’t stop them. its poor for a team of our quality.
Grealish is rarely bad but he's not pulling up trees and that's what people are expecting. TBH, I wish he could just be quietly left to go about his business: there's too much spotlight on him individually (as there is players in general) when the collective outcome is most important. It's the world we live in though.
He felt nerves? What about us mere plebs then? I was shitting bricks waiting for him to take the penalty. "Pretty please, with sugar on top, don't fucking miss it!"
Granted I'm a stupid American, but what is putting tea in the oven? Never heard of it. A euphemism?
Your tea is your evening scran in sunny Manchester. A scran is food. :-)
My heart was going mental - like it was a cup final
Alright I've learned two things now - scran and tea in the oven. Thanks!
Crystal Palace away a few years back, got us a 1-1 draw.
Nah, not having he’s not a learner, he’s reached the pinnacle of football, you can’t do that without learning a thing or two, you don’t have to be a physicist to be a footballer but you do have to have the right mentality, and he has it in bucket loads. Imagine being a winger, converted to a fullback/wingback, who has to act like a central midfielder, and be one of your teams main provider, then find yourself covering your centre half, that’s a lot of mental gymnastics. Pep demands a lot from his players, and I’d say his expectations of Joao are very very high (quite rightly) you’re right about the brain farts though, but in mitigation he’s played too much football
It doesn't matter where in the world you are, there'll always be (at least one of) a scouser, a Glaswegian or a cockernee giving their opinion.
Quite often Stevey know fuck all fucking Warnock.
