Now now Eccles you will have Jonboy getting jealous wasn't Joe your guy before John ?

After yesterday she may go for a younger model?

Joe is still on my favourites list but below John. Top of the list is Dunnie Monster! :-)

I don’t go for age I go for personality, football prowess and loyalty. ;-)
Last night on MOTD Joe was waxing lyrical about Eddie and was extremely fair and loyal. :-)

But you see they all play(ed) for MANCHESTER CITY THE BEST TEAM IN THE LAND AND ALL THE WORLD!!

A and Å is pronounced differently phonetically and is obviously 2 different letters in the norwegian alphabet.

It is a good question though, the "Aa" is supposed to represent the "Å" sound (which is impossible to describe here, better just googling clips of it) but internationally it just seems to get pronounced as an "A" anyway so he would be better of as Haland. But the "Aa" is also used instead of the Å in norwegian language historically, and quite often in names still. But it is always pronounced as "Å"

It is the same with Martin Ødegaard. In England he is called Odegaard phonetically, but the real prononciation isnt an O but a different sound, and his two "Aa"' is obviously a "Å". Ødegård. Except that the "Å" sound in his name is written "Aa" in Norway as well, which is a more historic way to use it, using the "Å" is a bit more modern.
For those old enough to remember our player from back in the day, Kaare Ingebrigtsen, he was the same. Always written as Kåre Ingebrigtsen in Norway

Not really important though. Languages and names are very hard unless you are familiar with the language. But it is their real name though :)

Cheers clear as muud

Å to me is like oar, boar, phoarr, ore, sore, lore, core, chore, war, or, whore

But I learned the Swedish version of å rather than the Norwegian one.

Yeah I guess I could have found some English words as an example to be fair, I'm not so bright lol. Ø is like the U in "mud" as you refer to. Å is like how you pronounce "hall" or "wall". So to pronounce Haaland correctly would just be to say the word "hall" and finish strongly with a "-land".

Complicated crash-course in norwegian

If I had a top ten then you just mentioned 3 of then.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Nico, Nico and Rico on the pitch at the end. Good stuff. Manc accent vowels get your gob round that.

Its amazing what a good performance and win can do.

I'm starting to think don't need as such a big clear out now after Saturday

Being serious though, Gundogan looked much better with a proper DM alongside him, as did all of the team

Yes but he is too old to sustain it.

There was a moment on Sat that IMO is something we've not seen all season. We turned over the ball and Newcastle were making a fast break, i'll try and make a clip or something of the actual play but when watching live i remember Gvardiol absolotely legging it from their half to get back! The pace of our recovery there was something we've not seen for at least 6 months IMO.

I thought on Saturday it was the first time for ages that the players seemed to understand the tactics…..which to be fair didn’t seem to be as complex as previously, especially to cover the ‘Rodri’ role.

I also noticed that we took the chance to get the ball into the box more quickly from wide positions.

What a difference having a player (Nico) who basically just sat in the hole and stayed behind the ball and kept it very simple but this allowed Gundogan to have his best match since his return.

The younger age profile of the starting line up definitely helped freshen up the vibrancy of the team.

Barring injuries I would hope we would now only ever see one of Gungodan, Kovacic, Bernardo or De Bruyne in the team barring maybe any remaining cup games.

Khushanov definitely gives us another option for our injury prone back four and thought he gave Rico some great protection.

 

[69FACUPfinal]

They weren't shite though.

We completely negated any threat they had, and there wasn't much they could do about it.

Agree and I was getting peeved with Michael Brown on co comms Sky game of the Day Saturday (8pm) when he kept saying the same. They weren't gash at all, just the Boyz were better.
