Inspired by the everlasting barm Vs muffin thread (It's a barm btw), it got me thinking about everyday words people use which has the wrong meaning. If you have lived, worked or travelled to various locations around England you will notice how people have different ideas of what certain words...

Whilst there has always been a lot of media talk about players moving to a bigger club and wasting their careers like Rodwell and Sinclair. Can you think of any players who habe declined the chance to move club and seen their career stagnate as a result? Agbonlahor stands out. When he burst...

I was talking to a few mates the other day one was a fellow City fan and the other two were Liverpool and Arsenal fans. I was shocked to see that some of our players were rated a lot higher by the Arsenal and Liverpool fan than my mate who's a City fan. Now I understand that us Blues will watch...

Sky Sports and City have that feature where players and former players will name the best 11 they have played with. What would be your best City 11? Mine would be: --------------------------------------------- Hart --------------------------------------------------- Zabba...

Whilst most people are mightily pissed off with today's performance and surrendering being top of the table to United, let's have a bit of perspective please. We have Newcastle at home, Bournemouth at home, United away and Norwich at home in our next 4 PL games. United have Arsenal away...

I was talking to a mate the other day about the takeover and I noticed that the last 'elite' player we signed was Aguero, nearly four seasons ago. Since then we have spent around £180 million on players and none of them have gone on to become part of the spine of our team. The key players in...

I think that it is obvious to all that Mike Jones made a complete joke of a decision yesterday by booking Aguero for diving. But should referees be in a position to openly brand the player as a cheat. After all thats what booking someone for diving is. If Pellegrini came out after the game and...

I've noticed far too often that pundits justify dives and soft penalties and free kicks by using the excuse there was contact. I was in work so I missed the City game yesterday but when I watched the highlights I could not believe the outrage over the Lukaku non penalty. The guy is built like a...

I've got a feeling that this is going to cause us a massive problem this season. It is so uneven compared to our right flank its untrue. On the right side we have Navas and Zab or Micah who are all a constant threat going forward and 9/10 offer stability at the back. Compare this to the left...

I was walking home with my girlfriend last night when some arsehole thought it was funny to go drive through a puddle and soak me. Now normally I would see the funny side but I dropped my phone in the process (which is now broke). To make matters worse this prick who was driving decides to slow...

A reoccurring theme throughout all the topics on managers whether it be Mancini, Pep or Mourinho is stability. On one hand people are saying don't get Mourinho because he will fuck off after three years, then people are saying get Guardiola (who apparently will stay here longer, however he...

Do we have any links with foreign clubs that allow us first option of their players? I briefly remember us getting linked to having a first option on two Santos youngsters as part of the deal that took Robinho to them on loan but I don't think anything came of that. I know we have a good...

I know many on here will say 4-2-3-1 and say why change a system what is not broken however if Aguero had not scored in injury time then the system would be broken as we failed to brake teams down on too many occasions. Mancini has come under criticism this season for trying the 3-5-2 system and...

Last nights shambolic performance and the way we have player this season got me thinking why are we so bad in Europe. Not just results but I mean the performances in general have been poor, we have looked a shadow of ourselves in the league. I have come up with a few reasons why and does anyone...

Sorry if there is already a Yaya thread I couldn't see it. Anyway is there a better big game player in world football than this man? I mean he really is unique at what he does, he is unstoppable when he gets going and also scores the most important goals. when people mention the best players...

A lot of people on here seem to be blaming the summer transfer window as an excuse for our poor form which is strange as we have a stronger squad now than we did last season IMO. Nastasic is an improvement on Savic Tevez is a world class striker and he has returned Garcia and Rodwell are better...

just a quick question and it is quite off topic but anyone remember that footballer who was drink driving and killed them kids and got sent down? I think he was a keeper for a lower league club. Well I was having a debate not long ago about drink driving after that Villa player got charged and...

I have said this about 10 times tonight in regards to the AJ transfer, his wages should not come into consideration when considering the fee we sell him for. City did not want rid as we were happy to keep him but his playing time was limited therefore he was the one who wanted to leave. Why...
