It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

[Nails]

No research done I am afraid.

No negative posts in threads of players we ended up buying whatsoever.

If you are going to throw around insults do some research first.

Er, no. Mahrez for starters, and that's just from memory.

Apparently there light at the end of the tunnel

oh aye, find it hard to see City doing a deal by tomorrow.

 

[TonyM]

Great news and I imagine a huge relief for you and yours.

Out of interest, did the medical staff break the news to you in one go or via a succession of cryptic music videos?

Lol. Imagine the nurse saying the doctor has BIG news. All I can say is karmakarmakarmakarma karma chameleon you come and go...

 

[Stoned Rose]

I still don't consider 47 as old, but definitely things don't work as well as they used to!!!

Pele likes this post.

The channel tunnel by any chance?

 

[DrBlueBob]

It’s my interpretation of how I perceive BDW to look like.

T'internet eh He probably looks more like a young David Niven.

I have no issue with the Super League, we panicked, but soon realised our error.

But the creative transfer dealing bullsh1t was bluster.

This was the summer to blow all before us out of the water, to really push for domination.

Cash rich in the middle of a football financial crisis, for some reason we did not get our major target, despite knowing for 18 months we had to replace Kun, weird and a very strange decision.

if nobody of quality is available then what's the point, we don't buy for buying sake, we buy because in the here and now and the near future that person will enhance the team/squad ,
Some on here are calling khaldoon a liar, how has he lied? As for being cash rich, didn't we post a massive loss last season, I would rather nobody came in rather than buying for buying sake

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Tolmie from all us down hear in Oz and from my family to you and yours having been through it don't consider embarrassment as part of the equation.

I don't know how long I have to go on mother earth but I hope just before I say goodbye I am looking at one of your brilliant , cryptic posts that are not fully appreciated and I am so glad that nothing sinister was uncovered and you make a full recovery from your scare as such.

Your connections to the club from your work etc and the fact you are willing to share it with plebs like me is priceless.

Your humility and ability to speak with reason on all things City and beyond is a blessing.

While I can't speak for everyone I know we are fortunate to have you as a poster and long may that continue.

Cheers Dad ;)

Seriously, thanks for your kind words.

Blue Moon really can be a great place of support to people who might be going through something.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Not itk but heard a whisper that we have commissioned a statue of tolmie.......

I never knew modesty shorts were a thing?

Can they cast me in trackies though, instead?

 

[mancity1]

Still no real links popping up. If there's nothing by this evening find it hard to believe there's a deal tomorrow

As long as we don't let anybody go I guess we will have to say it was a window where we didn't lose too much ground on our rivals.

As always injuries will play a huge part in deciding the title this season.

I know we have to strengthen in LB and DM and need a striker of sorts eventually but again we might have to wait until next season for that to occur.

 

[Benarbia’s Backheel]

Fair dos mate.

Some just cant get their head around. I havd never once claimed to be an ITK or said I get inside info. I merely state that z transfer wont happen and guess what, it doesnt.

So if people want to take it on board then fine. If they dont then thats fine but unfortunately a few resort to insults.

Simple really.

Anyway, thats my last word on it for this window.

So you basically claim to be Mystic Meg?

Septic peg.

Aren't they available?

There is an argument that both Kane and Haaland were/are available, Lukalu was available. Add Messi and Ronaldo to the mix.

There is an argument if the above players are value for money but the fact is to get a world class striker, you have to pay a world class fee and wages.

Kane was totally over priced to me, but Haaland ,IF 150m is the price , he is worth that amount in terms of ability, potential and age.

The Chairman did very much make a statement of intent RE the transfer market, not sure we have done that.

Some of the comments have been nothing short or embarrassing, and the same people probably moan about youth not being given a chance at some point

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

I'm 47 and what you described I agree with everything.
I've got arthritis in one knee and the other isn't too clever either, I have my days where I feel like the tinman out of wizard of oz but probably 4 or 5 days out the week my knees get by.
But in my head and my heart I feel like 20 odd year old where I feel alive and full of beans but my my body says wind it in grandad no you ain't.
Though I'm near 50 I don't feel that old one bit.

If it makes you feel any better, the nurses asked to check my date of birth again because they thought I was under 40 :)

Said I must look after myself?

I quipped how bad do most of your patients look!!

Made my year.

 

[mancity1]

Cheers Dad ;)

Cheers Dad ;)

You forgot to include the word grand (LOL) you must be getting old.

 

[Sir peace frog]

No interested in how Liverpool did it, we played Chelsea 3 times last season and never looked like scoring.

Scoring 5s against weak opposition is no indication, it's in the tight games where a single chance is the difference, those are the times when we miss a ruthless striker.

Except we did score and would of been 2 up if it wasn't for sergios penalty,

 

[mosssideblue]

Thank you for all the kind messages of support since yesterday.

That's me back home and so happy to say they found nothing sinister and the staff were brilliant putting me at ease and dismissing any embarrassment.

Might have to knock gluten and certain foods on the head to try and ease my stomach pains.

As others said, the drinking of the Movi prep 24 hours is really tough going, certainly compared to the procedure.

Cheers Blues. My family have been worried sick.

Great news Tolm. Rest up now

 

[Keeper!]

Who won the game?

As I said , we miss too many chances and far too many penalties.
