Anybody in the vicinity of the stadium: are there a lot of half-and-halfs around? I hate the bloody things. Unless it's kids wearing them, which I can sort of make an exception for (souvenir scarf for first European match, I suppose).
Wish I'd been able to get a half-and-half for City against Fenerbahce, 1968. Ideally, signed by big Mal, bearing the legend “Just watch us terrify Europe”. Probably be worth a bob or two on e-bay…

Whats this shite TNT are showing about Doku’s fashion fetishes? Who gives a shit

Sod the light show. We’re in the presence of footballing genius.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

I’m beginning to miss Martin Petrov.

6 first team players out injured is wild. It’s 30% of the squad!

We need an international break!

I hope Nunes has a good game

 

[ysmsa]

But he doesn't always tinker!
Against Wolves he played an ultra conservative side and waited until deep in the second half to introduce the players that changed the game.
Do you want more of Bernardo, Gundo and Kovacic against faster and stronger opponents?
I don't.

Starting Doku and Savinho is far from conservative

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Happy for Nunes. Hopes hes going to smash it.

At least he's getting a proper chance. He takes it or not, but you can't really judge a player who doesn't get a full ninety minutes, in my view.

We need an international break!

We’ve got a few problems in the left for the next few games

 

[BufordUSABlue]

Yeah, I know, I was deliberately using the inflated rhetoric of this forum…

Ahh then I totally get it!
