His family terrorised, became a pariah in his home town. Far too much shit over a career move.

Don’t remember any of that. Met him once. Boring bastard.

According to the Fail Laporte is the latest Ciy player wanting a move out of the club. This time for Juventus "to get more game time".

What sort of alternate reality do these people inhabit. Laporte not only played far more matches that most of the squad (4th in terms of appearances) but played in all the important matches for City.

Repeating what I read in the paper at the time, to be honest could have been bullshit. But the hate Leeds fans I know talked about him was scary.

Just to put things in to perspective. After all the shit we read and have to put up with at the end of day it’s just a game of football and a lot of us get great pleasure watching the game and trying to work out how things work out. So I need to tell you all I love my football and most especially Manchester City and Tony Book who lived close to me. But most of all I would like to say good bye to my younger brother who died this morning at the age of 59yrs with his family beside him. He was a blue.

Just seen this, sorry for your loss Bob, there’s a lot of us older than your brother on here and it makes us appreciate how fragile life is especially in later years. RIP Blue.

And I doubt that many full internationals expecting to appear in the World Cup and so potentially playing 70 games will be looking to increase that amount of game time this year.

Why would he want to move when he’s at the peak of his powers playing under Pep in a City side averaging 2 trophies a season?

Always sad to lose another blue , condolences on your loss

Taas has nothing on how Sly and the beeb have reworked the narrative of misbehaving scousers.

I always mean to get the TV pundits' and writers' predictions of who will win trophies in the coming season, but I always forget.

Has anyone by any chance got any early-season predictions for the PL season just ended?

I expect Alyson Rudd said Liverpool would win it. Someone probably said United would be right up there.

It would be interesting if anyone has saved these forecasts. I shall definitely do it for the next season.

Don't worry.
Most of them on this site think a hyphen is an expensive mobile made by Apple.
