Have they banned people taking in maps, compasses and English phrase-books? If so, the place could be empty for most games.

yeh just read this. i think the recording bit is bullshit i just think they dont like people not to be watching the game and being away with the fairies. looks bad when fans are on bloody tablets. i'm with them on this.
mind you the list of banned items does go a little too far.

Banning people from bringing in drinks, unless the top has been removed is fucking disgusting.
Another ploy to squeeze money from the deluded masses.

I hope City never stoops this low.

Erm, they did years ago.

you sure mate? i take drinks in for my lads every game, not been stopped yet

Outside the shop yesterday, one of the MEN billboards was saying "Van Gaal targets January window" or something similar.

Now, isn't this what happened last year?

Step One) Mention £200m war chest for the summer transfer kitty.
Step Two) Explain Red Ed is somewhere in the sky finalising big deals.
Step Three) Advise "couldn't reach agreement with player X" - DO NOT MENTION THE WORD 'SNUBBED'.
Step Four) Explain there's no value in the market.
Step Five) Decide January is the time to buy players.

hearing a rumour that Rafael da Silva has been loaned to Monaco. That's the entire back four gone in one summer.

Just seen that they have put a 20mE bid in for Marcos Rojo

Bang average

Wasn't impressed with him during World Cup, but haven't seen him apart from then.

Yeah, they take the lid off if they see you walk in with it. I put it in my pocket and they don't see it. They also don't give you the lid if you buy it from city.
If you are further away from the away fans, they may not be arsed.

Think the fella on twitter is called Jan Hogen who knows his stuff on Portugese football and wrote a decent piece about Mangala and Fernando

He said that Rojo's positioning isn't good enough for a left sided CB which is where he was playing for Sporting, he played LB for Argentina in the world cup and im with you I wasn't impressed with him at all

My guess is he will play LCB if they sign him given the fact they have spent £30m on Shaw
