Only if you're a woman.

I could identify as a woman if it would help .....

How`s Flex taken it?

Flex, FFFS what sort of name is Flex. Another pathetic Sky creation to massage the ego of the Rag hordes.

Nah. Flex started the rag stand with Goldberg, but had a fall out because Luigi wanted to make it a money spinner.

They'll beat Brighton. Never underestimate the fear factor with some of the smaller clubs. These players grew up watching the Rags win trophy after trophy and still think 'Christ, we're playing Man Utd at Wembley'.....happened to Newcastle. You still have the media talking them up at every opportunity. Brighton will play well, but they'll get beaten.

If the match is refereed fairly then I think Brighton are the likely winners. I am not sure who I would like to play in the final (assuming we beat Sheffield United). It would be great to beat the rags at Wembley but the hype and potential fan clashes could derail our efforts in the league and chumps league.
A final versus Brighton could potentially be a classic given that both teams play good football.

The average age of the Brighton squad is 26. Most of them will have no memory of the late 90s and early 00s. And vague memories of their late 00s successes. Most of them will have grown up watching us win.

Maguire is the rags fall guy. Ten Bob threw him under the bus ages ago while there are far worse players getting regularly picked. Feel sorry for the guy, needs to move on and start enjoying his football again.
The whole club is a gigantic fraud and needs to go out of business, the world would be a better place.
All my rag mates are bunkered, even 5G can't penetrate their hiding holes.

Get off - "bullying" TH.
Criticism, analysis and opinion will be long forgotten tools before long.
Probably a generational thing as to how it's viewed - granted.

It it bullying mate, it's become fashionable to exacerbate every little mistake he does, coupled with wanker podcasters who sit in their little bedroom and think it is funny to call him any personal name under the sun.

Big difference between criticism and going out of their way to make life so unbearable, you cannot perform.

I don't think it's generational, there have always been bullies.

I'll be 50 next year and still have horrible memories of how I put up with terrible shit in the office and from superiors, just because I thought you had to put up with it to get on in life.

It shaped my whole mental state and I know the signs all too well when everyone wants to be in on the joke, because they don't or can't think for themselves.

If someone treated my kids like I was, I would put them in the fucking ground.

They will be lucky to get between £25,000,000 to £30,000,000 mil

Unless Steve Bruce lands a big job in the summer

They will be lucky to get between £25,000,000 to £30,000,000 mil

He's 30 now. I would expect one final contract maybe 35-40mil at todays rate.

 

[remember arthur mann]

You're absolutely right mate. After all, he only cost them £80m so what do they expect from a bargain basement buy like that?

Bizarrely Spuds usually shit the bed against the Rags yet get a result against us at home.

Because we are 'ickle Cideh' and the rags are 'the biggest club in the world' TM and have to be respected, (rolled over for) whereas City are only a very small club with hardly any fans and deserve nothing but contempt!
