Durham had one on last night, about 6ish. He was nearly crying. Said City had scraped through the last 2 games 1-0 and were lucky at Bournemouth!
Anyway he's guaranteed we will drop point and Poooollllll will win all their games.

Hope his mummy tucked him in nice and tight so he didn't fall out his bed last night.
 
The thing that is missed with this "netspend" claim is no account is made of the transfer fee paid to get the player at the club in the first place

So player A is purchased for £20M and sold for £50M then surely only £30M can be used in the net spend calculation

Oh come on!

How do you expect Scousers to be as logical and reasonable as that?
 
Wasting your time. It would be 21 titles, 6 champion league's and then they would throw all the money, cheating rules etcetera in.

We just need to enjoy all this great football and trophies after years of bloody misery. The fact it is killing all these jealous bitter hypocritical clowns makes it all the sweeter. We don't need their approval.

If anyone goes down the "You’ve spent x amount buying players" route, I just reply, "I don’t fucking care!"
 
TS having a feature on Bale and how he doesnt talk Spanish in Spain which is causing him issues...., so what do TS talk about... How Aguero or Silva dont talk English in this country!

I think they talk better English than some of the TS presenters

Doesn't Guardiola insist that training is conducted solely in English?
 
I believe he does.

I often see Aguero and Silva having long conversations in English with fellow players and refs. They just don't feel comfortable doing interviews in English.

Cheers.

Sounds reasonable, avoiding misquoting.

It's a good point - they would have to be able to converse with the refs and other staff (doctors?), and I doubt Walker's Spanish is up to much, but I'm sure I've seen Guardiola say "English club, we speak English" (or words to that effect)

I recall that.

Silva has been captain quite a bit over the years, with Vinny being in and out of the team, you often see him in long animated conversations with referees and they'll not be in Esperanto.

Aguero understands English pretty well, you can tell that from the questions that are fired at him, he understands what's being said, he just seems to lack the confidence and vocabulary to confidently reply. I've seen Silva do interviews in English and he's pretty good, I suspect Silva is reluctant to face the camera not because of his English but because essentially he seems a very private person.

Surely you're not surprised?

I don’t think De Gea speaks English. I’ve certainly never heard him.

There was a full 8 part documentary showing all team meetings & trainings being conducted in English.
Pep as has said, in England we speak English.

I think that's probably fair; I think he just doesn't like it much - Sane, Gundogan, Bernardo, Laporte (I think), de Bruyne, all do it better and are happy to do so. They're all early/mid career, so it probably suits them too. I think Silva speaks English with quite a strong accent which doesn't help (compare with Bernardo).

I can imagine where Aguero is at - I can understand German okay, and French slightly less well, but often have to run it through my head again before working out what is meant; my spoken German/French isn't very good at all!

ha, I hadn't thought about that series being fairly clear evidence!

That’s not difficult, is it?

I’ve noticed that both Sergio's and Merlin's English is much improved over the last couple of years and Gabriel’s is fantastic now, considering that the lad could hardly speak a word of English when he arrived here.
 
I strongly suspect both Silva and Aguero have had a capable knowledge of English for quite a while, and that any interviews conducted have been on the basis of getting their views across in their native language, rather than it be 'misunderstood'.
Noticeable recently on Sky or BBC programmes that both Sanchez and De Gea features were conducted in Spanish. Did the TS presenters mention that?

I heard that - ridiculous they managed to make the comparison City related?
