Handy bt tells us how much ruby cost

Was just going to comment on this, but you beat me to it.

Absolutely no need to mention the transfer value.

Doubt they introduced Maguire in the same vain!

Struggling to sum up any sort of passion to watch it im afraid and seeing Garcia picked isnt fucking helping.

Just got BT for a month - 5 times we are on there the next 3 weeks.
Dreading the comms already.
Come on City!

Not for me, sorry

Ake had a brilliant injury record at Bournemouth, comes here and he’s fucked within a month. Hopefully them niggles are just niggles.

I think some of these injuries are made up, it's a new one every game. Maybe the poor souls just fancy a break and recuperation time.

You should have seen Sky pre match build up

We need a good win tonight, the team picked is more than capable of achieving it... Gonna stay clear of the match thread, fed up of hearing the unfunny FFS Mahrez, Sterling is shit, etc etc... Shame we can’t have a match day thread where the game is discussed for those who can’t tune in

and? My opinion is that Stones isn't as good

How many times does Pep have to pick Rodri & Gundogan in the same team to realise it doesnt f*cking work , play one or the other because we are devoid of pace when these two play together. As for Garcia i wouldnt have him on the bench never mind the team the disloyal mother fucker , it would be far more valuable to have Stones back and trying to rebuild his confidence or give Bellis some experience.

It does work sometimes ;)

But we have had crazy number of injuries since Pellegrini was appointed in 2013.

Have we really, to know that you’d have to compare us to all the other premier leaguge teams injury records since 2013. I don’t take much notice of other teams injuries, but if I had to guess it would be we would find ourselves pretty average. Which when you take into account we play more games and all our players play internationals and deep into summertournaments probably isn’t that bad.
As for this season every time a player gets a niggle best to rest them because this season it going to be rough on squads.
