Busquets mentioned here. Not sure where he's getting it from though.

Clichy said that certain players haven't trained with the squad yet because they're overweight. I think I've seen pictures of Nasri in training so who could he mean?

I think City's brief is to simply calm people down. There's still a fee to agree, and we saw last year how long it took to come to an agreement with Wolfsburg even though all seemed done and dusted with KDB. Remember this?

Outswinging corners are just totally ineffective. They require an unbelievable header to get anywhere near the goal. Inswinging corners on the other hand usually are usually whipped and close to the goal, so they require a simple header to score. Until we sort out this fundamental flaw, we'll...

Got a bit too confident after driving for 18 months in my first car. Had never lost control of it before but one day got too cocky and decided to try and corner quickly. Back wheels went and started to skid towards the pavement while the front wheels retained traction and headed towards a car on...

I'm pleased this thread has appeared. A lot of the time for football fans, and certainly for me, frustration comes from not being able to put your finger on what's wrong and explain the problems your team has. A few people in this thread have given some very good reasons so I'll give my piece as...

No. We as a club and fans are now desperate for Pep, and the only way we'll get him is at the end of season. We wouldn't find a good enough manager who would happily take over until then. We can't sack him now, but he must go at the end of the season.

Posted this on another Silva thread last year: Silva is his name, Silva is his name, King of City, King of Spain, Silva is his name.

Jesus wept.

Yaya has just retweeted this tweet: The original tweet is from a City fan claiming to have met Yaya and been told first hand that he is staying at City:

No. Injury record isn't good and he's not even the best winger at Arsenal, Oxlade-Chamberlain is much better.

Ultimately the tactic we are using is shite. We use out-swinging corners and 90% of the deliveries are terrible, but when we get a decent one in the player heading it is usually behind the penalty spot because of the out-swinging delivery. This makes it near impossible to get a powerful...

Re: Dressing Room Unrest? This is purely down to a team of winners that are frustrated because we aren't playing well. Even at Sunday league level when I play if someone isn't pulling their weight I'd happily give them a bollocking and then buy them a pint afterwards, it's competitive sport...

What really started to annoy me in the second half was that the players seemed eager to just leather it whenever we won the ball, this meant the Liverpool centre backs could win it quite easily off an isolated Aguero. Then when we brought Bony on, an actual target man, we started pissing about...

Re: David Silva appreciation thread Superb player.

I went in 2012 and came home the next day because I had an early morning flight to watch Madrid v City! He'll learn more about life than he will his actual subject, and he'll probably figure out there's a different type of nobhead at University; the lad that think he's cock of the University...

It is becoming a concern that I only noticed in a recent conversation when me and some friends discussed the ages of some of our players. Time goes fast and it doesn't seem long ago since we were signing 23/24 year old players like Kompany and Zaba in 2008! I fear that this may be our last...

I can only reiterate what everyone else seems to have said! A draw is a good result but disappointing not to nick it at the end. The post twice and a world class save from Szczesny denied us claiming what would have been a brilliant 3 points. A decent start to the week. Milner MOM.

I thought he was fantastic today, especially his anticipation as he won a lot of balls near the halfway line to put us on the front foot again. Shame he couldn't stop Wilshere for the first goal and was unlucky not to get one himself!

Played the first 20 mins like a pub player but really grew into the game. Nice to see him back as he will be key against Bayern and Chelsea.
