What this thread really needs is a few more insults.

 

[RayCTID]

Gone for the win but it going to be a ropey performance on the back of the international break and with Ederson and Jesus absences

 

[citytill1die84]

Steffan

Walker Stones Dias Cancelo

Rodri

Grealish B.Silva KDB Foden

Sterling

Should have too much for Burnley, come on City.

Yes and know, footballers live in a bubble, he thinks he deserved to be in our first 11, not many other people do, even those like me who had been defending can only defend him and his form is temporary, class is permanent excuse is wearing a little thin, even thinner if he is wanting north of 300k and 'assurances' on game time.

If he sat on his backside and ran his contract down he would be the loser, he still has over 2 and a half seasons left on it, he isn't running that down if he is stuck on the bench or not playing at all, there is no upper hand greater than you won't be considered for selection, not that I like that scenario either tbh.

I havent seen anything where he has said he deserves to be in the 1st 11. I believe he has 2 years left on his contract so would only be sitting on his backside this season. He is then in the last year of his contract & his agent will be negotiating with other clubs to see where he stands with signing on & wages because their would be no transfer fee involved.

Sorry, I mistakenly thought it was 20/21 lol the last 12 months didn't happen.

So what do you think 'assurances' means btw?

Definition of assurance​

1: the state of being assured: such as
a: a being certain in the mind the puritan's assurance of salvation
b: confidence of mind or manner: easy freedom from self-doubt or uncertainty, spoke with assurance about his future plans also : excessive self-confidence: BRASHNESS, PRESUMPTION
c: SECURITY
2: something that inspires or tends to inspire confidence gave repeated assurances of goodwill
3: the act or action of assuring someone or something: such as
a: PLEDGE, GUARANTEE You have my solemn assurance that it is true.
b: the act of conveying real property (see REAL entry 1 sense 2) also : the instrument (see INSTRUMENT entry 1 sense 5) by which it is conveyed
chiefly British: INSURANCE
Synonyms & Antonym

If you seek assurance from somebody you want their assurance to be something you desire, no?

Sterling is seeking assurance on his 1st team plans.

Sterling: Pep am I in your 1st team plans

Pep: Not at the moment, you need to find your best form again.

Sterling: I think I am open to a move abroad.

If the answer was positive he wouldn't be chatting about leaving to some random interviewer.

Show me where Sterling has stated any of the above, and not some interviewer who more than likely has an agenda

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

I cannot understand the blatant arrogance of some folk on here. Burnley are disciplined, well managed and hungry for a point. These so-called weaker teams often see playing MCFC as their cup final. We need to be focused and determined ourselves to pick up the three points.

Well they haven't been any of the above in recent meetings. I don't see any blatant arrogance. Just some being a bit more positive about our chances.

 

[SWPISHOME]

With Eddie and Gabby both out, I'd go with:

Steffan

Walker
Dias
Laporte
Cancelo

Rodri
Bernardo
De Bruyne

Foden
Grealish
Mahrez

I don't like the first game back after the international break their is always a couple of strange results. I think we will win tomorrow but not by a margin of 5 goals. 2-0.

 

[Stoned Rose]

I fucking hate these cunts.

Let's fucking behead them.

Well up for tomorrow. Glad proper footy is back.
