Newcastles Livramenko looks like he will make the grade.

Evidently he qualifies to play to Scotland and Portugal but has chosen England.

Im not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that he will be Trippiers understudy for the next few seasons.

Cheers.

Another good prospect charts looks decent going forward to but trippier as been a great signing for you especially with his assists

It was sad to see Trippier getting involved in an altercation with a supporter last night, but it was just one supporter who has since held his hands up and apologised.

Cheers.

Yes I saw that sometimes emotions get the better of you and as a fan especially travelling all that way but he's been solid for you howe is doing a great job up there a few signing in Jan will help you out  but Newcastle are going in a good direction under a good manager be a couple of seasons I think before there really pushing at the top

I think, and I could be wrong, but Everton had 1 charge and City have 120 ?……does that sound right ?

Whatever anyway, City have way more than Everton so if even a fraction are proven and the benchmark is 10 points for 1 then city should either get 10 points for each and try and play out of negative or get relegated ! 
 

Chelsea have been at that job for years, if memory serves me right they hadn’t won f**k all for 40 odd years until Abramovich showed up !

City are on 115 up to now if there found guilty of even half them charges I think they would be relegated Chelsea are hoping a change of ownership will get them of as the charges are under the previous owner Everton aren't out of it yet there's 3 teams that are looking in to suing them after they got relegated something similar to the West ham sheff utd situation I think there looking at

If city get relegated then it should be a proper job similar to Glasgow Rangers, 4th tier or some such thing.

They would easily absorb a season in the championship and it wouldn’t be fair to those teams, needs to be harsher than that……I’d recorded Charlton Athletic v Cray Valley Paper mills and watched it yesterday in the return leg at Crays ground after they earned a replay at the Valley.

Stones throw and a 120 ish league places from each other……fantastic game, football you can have an affinity too.

City should be made to play out of Crays level really, see how they crack on with that.

Or…..they just accept what it is and leave them alone instead of playing this silly game of “let’s pretend”, fact is the premier league needs the city’s and the Chelsea of this world as part of the “entertainment experience” they sell…..the Everton’s ?, not so much.

I agree it will be interesting to see what punishment city or Chelsea get if found guilty but I like  them lower leagues games even park games they  are a great watch full hearted challenges going in  no rolling around decent honest lads playing to there max and enjoying it

The England game tonight? We are playing as though it is a game of chess, football is draughts not chess. So much talent being wasted. Could have beat them 6 - 1 .

6 - 0

I said this a while ago theses last two games prove it  against sides we should easy beat Malta we struggled against it showed a player from Notts county warming up behind a England bench full of first team premier league starters imagine what a coach that wasn't so defensive could do with that squad of players

England to win the Euros ?

More chance of me winning the Euro millions…… 

Cheers.

I watched Grealish's development, partly because a good friend is a Villa fan. When he made the big move to Man City feared that he would follow the Gazza route and end up eaten up by the superstar status and that England would once again lose a genuine world class player, they do not come along that often. He seems to have survived, but plays like a pussy scared to move from his position and just tries to draw a foul in every game he plays. For England and Man City.

Great chance of winning the Euros imo...and I'm never one to give if big licks about England... this is the most talented squad in Europe imo...

I read nothing into tonight's or last weeks games, qualified ages ago, top of all the qualifiers and with the current European champions in our group...

It'll come down to a bit of luck as always, but with the 2 best players currently in European football in our squad I'd give us a fair chance

I totally agree but the way there set up suppresses most of them any manager in Europe would love this group of players I think a manager that was  a bit less defensive and allows players to express themselves more would get much more out of this squad
