The are we allowed the "it's quiet" thread yet? thread.

Like Barca have?

Nail on head.

I never quite understand why fans feel we NEED to have a Number 9 type aerial threat. Especially in a league where 90% of the central defenders are extremely competent in the air, but lack in the technical/mobile side of the game. Why play a striker that plays to their strengths?

There is no point in people guessing what or how Pep might play,each game in the league has to be taken on it's own merits,like he has admitted,this is a new challenge,which will force him into new ideas,and thinking.

What he has done in the past (well last few seasons at Bayern) will have little bearing on us,unless we hit the ground running,and to be fair the first 3 games we have this season,with 2 being at home,should set us on our way,and give Pep an idea of how our league can be,before going to the swamp for a "anything can happen" match.

Even the old stubborn one played 2 up top on rare occasions,albeit in the wrong games mind,so we have got to see how it pans out first few games am afraid.

Cheeky bid for Thierry Henry wouldn't go amiss. Coaching with Arteta. Singing our praises on SKY

Those fans questioning our signings don't work for bookies then. We are favourites to win the League and for good reason. They are usually right or they go bust

Any news on that pissed bloke from last night who hit on Messi's mum? Were the police called? Where was Lionel whilst his mother was being assaulted?

these are the most important questions of the day...

He thought it was imminent but she bottled it. Ah well.

What's wrong with having it as an option? Why potentially diminish the scope of your attacking armoury by not having a player like that. Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, the rags, West Ham, Leicester, they all manage to accommodate a striker with that particular strength in their squads and very effectively too

They has us as favourites last year too, so there goes that theory

Messi is holidaying in Ibiza.

I'm so hungover. It might just be someone from the academy, she got ushered off by a driver, I was going home and she was stood in the foyer, I was hammered but she looked fit, not sure what I even said to her initially but I asked her if she was in Manchester for work and she said no, I'm here because my son is signing for city, I'd guess she was about 40, being harsh. Will probably be that kids mum from South America we've nearly signed.
