I take your point @Gordyola. I guess I got carried away with my defence of the John Boy. Sorry sir. :-)

 

[Eccles Blue]

Funding Office.....I'm more concerned that my money is being used to pay a player who is rarely available, rather than if some old biddy thinks I can spell or not.

Wow, I fell off my chair laughing. At least I've grown old gracefully biddy or no biddy.
But as @Dodge has said, grow up or maybe go and do your homework. Your money is being paid to pay all the players.
Night, night sleep tight little man. :-)

 

[Eccles Blue]

Your money is being used to pay a player lol. Grow the fuck up.

A word of advise...you belittle and take on @Eccles Blue and you take on the whole board.

Disrespectful c**t.

Thank you @ Dodge. :-) :-) :-)

2 times? league cup winner

Twice PL team of the season
Once Eufa team of the season
87 appearances for England

And a really nice bloke too.

John Stones, despite your injuries (and hopefully this one is minor) you have done City and England proud, and continue to do so

No-one is doubting the above, and I'm not trying to bait @Eccles Blue (we've done this dance before haven't we :D) but things will reach a natural conclusion at the end of the season imho.
He'll leave with our best wishes, but you can't keep paying him to sit in the stands over half the season.
I've said before - Rolls Royce player, but breaks down like a Lada these days :(

Blue loves the guy so go easy. Sadly you may be right.

Oh I know Eccles loves him - I was trying to say I accept that, sorry if it came across differently.

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

it never goes away properly even with surgery.

I suffer badly on my left foot.

Literally "feel your pain" - I suffer on my left side, I find a stretching regime helps using a roller (advised by a physio), but like most things individual cases vary drastically
I've said before with Boulders - I can't see how he's getting near the bloody pitch if it's bad

 

[Eccles Blue]

Aww thank you guys. Somewhere way back a few days ago I sort of accepted (very reluctantly granted) that you are all correct. This will possibly be John Boy’s last season. I’m devastated, bereft, traumatised and every other upset word!
However, old biddy that I am apparently, I survived VK leaving, even wore a bandage round my head when Zabba went, cried when my ultimate hero Dunnie left.
I was very upset as well when Mike Summerbee left.
I’ll miss him but as I have to give up my season card (health reasons) at the end of the season I guess it will be a little easier. :-) :-) :-( :-(

Only two things in life are certain .... one is that there will always be taxes .... and the other is that John Stones will always pick up an injury!l

Don’t forget the third thing that is certain:
MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD

we made the right decision with de bruyne, gundogan (originally) and will do so again with stones. walker was a 18 months too late as probably was aguero

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I'll take your explanation as I'm not sure about ACL, it was just what Pep said about it the other week and it might be psychological now that made me think that.
Not sure what it is with John Stones, Plantar Fasciitis has been mentioned and I do know that that can be painful and also hard to diagnose. I guess I'm just upset about John Boy and trying to defend him when nobody seems to be saying anything about Rodri. I'll be quiet now and fret for JB in the corner. Sorry. :-) :-)

 

[Eccles Blue]

Mmmm if I say; ‘Well I guess he got injured in a good cause and for his children’ I will get castigated! *lol*

 

[tackeds]

Is this for real?? What’s he done?

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Is this for real?? What’s he done?

The sad truth is that we don’t know, but it could well be.

 

[Buckshaw Blue]

It’s a piss take.

 

[tackeds]

It’s a piss take.

Haha this is why I don’t go on Twitter!

EB, No truth in the rumour that the club are commissioning a new statue of JS carrying you in his arms as you both walk away from the palace of glittering delights ?

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

Can't get a f2f with the gp until 23rd, so going then. Will do some research - thank you x

best of luck

i find the stretching with the roller just deflects the issue rather than removing the prioblem which is annoying
