It I was thinking about this just this morning. It's the 4 minute mile all over again. It also reminded me of the first time 400 runs were scored in a One Day International. It was by Australia. At the end of the innings, the commentators were going on about how it'll take years for anyone...

I'm not disagreeing with you in any way. My point, in a nutshell, is that probably wouldn't have missed Laporte as much as we have if Kompany (or his replacement) was around. Not replacing him was a huge mistake. There's a general feeling that our defense can now be gotten at. I don't remember...

I totally agree with you as far technical ability is concerned. But we can't underestimate Vinny's other more "intangible" qualities. On-field leadership is something we've sorely missed this season. Kevin has been by far our most vocal player in recent games. Silva, Fernandino are way too...

For me our VVD equivalent was Kompany and not so much Laporte. Last season we won every single match that Kompany started. Laporte, as good as he is, started every single one of the games we lost. Kompany brought so much more than defensive qualities. His leadership rubbed off on everyone else...

Agreed. Before Liverpool's second half adjustment, Everton were definitely in the game. Unfortunately, due to a lack of squad depth, they were forced to play their first team. These players played every single game over the festive season. As the match wore on, fatigue would have been an issue...

That's our strongest possible 11, in my opinion (taking our injuries into consideration) Never mind the league cup, I'd play that team in CL.

Being called "white trash" is not racism. It's an insult. Racism goes way deeper than just name calling. It's being denied a decent education, housing, job opportunities, and other basic human rights and priviledges only because of the the colour of your skin. I'm a black South African and...

African Americans call each other the n-word all the time. It's only a problem when a white person does it. But you do get black people who have an issue with the word even when a black person says it. I hope that answers your question.

The same way we felt Van Djik was too expensive at 75 million. Besides Maguire, who else did we seriously look at?

This season we've conceded 3 out of 6 goals from set pieces. 4 if you count Matip's goal in the Community Shield. If there's one area of concern for me, it's how we defend set pieces.

The only thing I read relating to Liverpool today was an article about Sean Cox and how he was allowed to go home for the night to watch the final with his family. Rivalries aside, I think almost all football fans want to see him fully recovered

At about the midway point in the second half I remember thinking to myself: "I don't remember seeing Stones or Laporte touching the ball this half."

That was a lot closer than I expected. An extra training session is definitely needed

And how about that atmosphere...

That's how you do it.

No need for forgiveness friend. I know you mean well. Enjoy the game tonight.

I burst out laughing reading that

When I signed up to Bluemoon I read the forum rules. Ric (bless him) makes it clear that people who support other clubs are welcome on this platform. If I was a dipper I would have declared that upfront. I'm a football fan first and foremost and and Manchester City fan secondly. My issue is...

Tell me you own this forum, and I'll gladly answer. If not, then I'd rather not, thank you very much.

I do not work for the media and do not know why there has been limited coverage of the 5-0 result. I was merely my opinion on what I think the reason for that is. That is all. That's allowed on this forum, right?
