    Bernardo Silva tweet controversy

    In this thread: People who fail to grasp the very basic idea of historical context. "B-b-but if someone posted a picture of a pale cartoon character, nobody would say anything about it!" Jesus wept. Bernardo might not be racist, but he must be a major thicko to post something like this on...

    Stephen Ireland

    I agree with this, but after reading the article it doesn't surprise me that he's without a club tbh. He comes across as slightly manic and lacking awareness. Coupled with his non-performances and injuries in the previous years, I can totally understand why even Championship clubs are reluctant...

    EDS V Chelsea

    Most of the EDS this year are age group 2000/2001, so he's not that far off. Braaf is even younger.

    Are you glad we binned the Latin motto?

    I have a soft spot for the previous badge since it was the one in use when I started to follow the club, but the latin always seemed silly. In hindsight, the decorative stars are also quite tacky and the bird a bit dated for a badge designed in '97. However, the worst part was the amount of...

    Aleix Garcia - 2019/20 Performances

    So if we buy a youth player and loan him continuously for 3 seasons he will count as homegrown even if he never steps onto a pitch in England? Makes sense.

    Aleix Garcia - 2019/20 Performances

    How come he is listed as a home-grown player on the PL OS? https://www.premierleague.com/news/1335777 He has only spent 25 months in England and the rest of the time on loan at Girona. Does that time count after all? Why is there no clearly worded guideline available anywhere?

    Loan Watch 2019/20

    Ernest Agyiri has joined Enosis Neon Paralimni FC in the Cypriot First Division on loan. Btw, does anyone know for certain if the Venezuelan Nahuel Ferraresi is on City's books or if he was bought by Torque? Transfermarkt has him as a City player since 2017, but most sources only mention a...

    Purchase option? Interesting. Seems to be bought purely for flipping then.

    City matchday presenters sacked over podcast (P6)

    Good. Racism should not be tolerated just because it is aimed at Asian people. If you have to resort to lazy racist banter, you're a shit comedian anyway.

    Welcome... Scott Carson

    Covering our arse so that we don't have to recall Muric from a (hopefully productive) loan again.

    Welcome Joao Cancelo

    Yep, but letting Danilo go for free is a shocking piece of business by the club! Txiki out! ;)

    Welcome Joao Cancelo

    Uni?!? More like elementary school. If you account a €37m profit against the sale of Danilo, then the acquisition of Cancelo is a €65m expense, as outlined in the public statement by Juventus. Only the difference is €28m, not the fee for Cancelo. Our accountants might be good, but they're not...

    Welcome Joao Cancelo

    The inflated values are accounting trickery and favour both clubs. Does nobody remember the crazy Serie A days in the late 90s/early 00s? Clubs used to do these crazy multi-player swap deals all the time and fringe players would get overvalued to create false profit for both clubs.

    Nathan Ake

    Well, given Pep's hyperbolic tendencies there are plenty "very good" players. Would he even consider him if he wasn't English and there were no homegrown quota constraints?

    Joao Cancelo

    Ah, I was wondering yesterday why his number was removed in the squad list on the OS. Muric and Sandler still have theirs.

    Mangala joins Valencia on a Permanent deal

    Before this gets any sillier, THB = Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
