Given the financial disparities between what Leicester can, and have, spent and what City, Arsenal and Spurs have spent, then for me you've got to give it to Ranieri regardless of who actually wins the Premier League at this point. What Leicester have done this season is fantastic, they were one...

If the £23m release clause is accurate then this would be a fantastic deal for City.

I'd happily take Oxlade Chamberlain. Yes there are some questions, he needs to start to avoid these niggly injuries he picks up, and show a little more consistency, but I'd add him to the squad and sell Navas and be happy with the end result. Home grown, not 23 until the start of next season, 5...

An article so full of bile, vitriol and stunning inaccuracies that it's an embarrassment to call it journalism. Just not accurate in the slightest. City took their medicine, despite having a fairly strong legal case against their punishment (UEFA blatantly changed the way the rules were to be...

Player contracts and managerial contracts don't work in the same way so the 6 months criteria that affects players isn't really relevant to this.

See, I always said you spoke perfect sense.

Or she'd be a psychotic serial killer with an unusual choice of memento.

You're not really comparing like with like there though. You're far more likely to be booked or sent off in La Liga than the Premier League. Take the 2014/15 season for example: Premier League 1397 yellow cards, 73 red cards. La Liga 2039 yellow cards, 95 red cards.

Jesus Christ, is this a new low for these threads? Probably.

Of course it's not fucking ok! If we finish outside the top 4 it will mitigate to a great degree "the Pep factor", plus it will hammer us financially (don't go thinking FFP is an irrelevance, especially if we miss out on £40m/£50m in Champion's League revenue). It will be a fuck up of...

Anyone thinking we've a hope of winning the Champion's League needs sectioning. Real Madrid, PSG, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, any one of those sides would destroy us. Juventus are the only side we've played of any real note in Europe this season, and they beat us home and away.

The worrying thing about last night was just how predictable it all was. I had zero confidence we'd get anything other than beaten leading into the game. Beating them to the cup on Sunday, poor record at Anfield, the fact that Liverpool only seem to actually turn up when they play City, it all...

The reasons you list above for no change are the exact reasons the elite clubs are using to push for change. They don't want the best teams to constantly refresh, or for new blood to come into major European competition. They want to be in the highest profile, most profitable, competitions...

I think Hart is better than either of Barca's keepers, but Caballero is a distant fourth for me when it comes to ability, both Bravo and ter Stegen are better. Plus Barca's keeper doesn't really have to DO a great deal half the time! Victor Valdes was their regular number one for 11 seasons...

It looks like Trump will in all likelihood take the Republican nomination, with Clinton the most likely to take the Democratic one. The presidential race between those two will be fascinating to watch, I still don't see Trump getting all the way to the White House though. He's so anti everything...

Hart is clearly the best keeper at the club, there's no debating that. The issue here is that Caballero has been the domestic cup keeper since he arrived at City, playing every single domestic cup game, bar none. So, Pellegrini has established a clear precedent here, he's anointed Caballero as...

I'd happily see Kolarov and Sagna moved on, we can do better than both of those players and neither are home grown so take up valuable "foreign" spots in our squad. I'd keep Zabaleta though, I think he's still got something to add to the squad, he's not quite what he was 3 years ago but he's...
