      One of the problems with tv companies choosing games to televise is that it self perpetuates the popular clubs. There was some stats on the amount of times Utds cup ties have been screened consecutively last year. It was ridiculous. A balance has to be struck and personally I do not think a tv deal that is going the way of laliga a with Barca and RM hoovering up nearly all the tv money is a good idea at all. Secondly IMO the club’s should be made to pass some of this revenue on to match going fans. Without the match fans the club’s would simply not exist. Jim

        One of the problems Delph has had since he has been at City is long term injuries. He was out injured for large periods with long-term problems with his thigh, then ankle and another injury I can’t remember. Ok it’s not Sturridge like but not far off and these periods amounted to months and months. Then you are trying to force your way into a really competitive midfield. TBH he has really been up against it, so I don’t think he made the wrong choice just been a bit unlucky. When I have seen him play he has impressed with good runs and movement and he can strike the ball really well. Before he signed for us his injury record was pretty good and we originally tried to sign him under Mancini, so our scouts like him. Ok he’s not a Kevin DeBryne but neither is he a Jack Rodwell. There were rumours that Stoke wanted him this summer but i was pleased we kept him and really hope we keep him. He’s a bit like James Milner with possibly a bit more flair and I think every team needs that type of player. Jim

          Agree a very good start for all English sides.

            I thought Klopp had backed Mingolet if so why drop him for a big CL game. Sure do it for a league cup game. Dont quite understand that logic.

              As far as I can see, Mendy is off to see a specialist today. So in the next few days we will know more. Real shame as he has impressed so far. I have read that footballers are getting more knee ligament injuries these days due to the man made woven fibres in pitch turf. Therefore it is much less forgiving to studded boots. Ie no mud so cant slide, more grip therefore more stress on knee. ?? Such is life. Jim

                  Mendy is fast very strong and delivers very good balls from out wide. Him and Walker have changed and added to our play massively so far this season.

                    Looks like Mendy will have a late fitness test for tonight’s game. Even if he doesn’t make it, this is still obviously really good news as he might make Chelsea and the initial reports were that he had ligament damage.

                          Booby Madely having a mare reffing Arsenal vs West Brom. For me he is just not good enough to ref top games. Or any games for that matter. Awful referee.

                            Sadly I can’t go either. Likewise I don’t have BT sport so I too will be listening to GMR. Jesus to start and a clean sheet will do for me.

                                Nine, my rant wasn’t really aimed at you. I just went off on a tangent. Can I just add obviously I do rate Sterling, I am aware of his failings. I can also add that I also rate Deli Alli slightly ahead of sterling as a creative player.

                                Cheers Jim

                                  Nine, I suspect Pep may well play Jesus and Aguero up front against you guys. Which means we will definitely score but also concede against a top side especially without Kompany. Only 6 games in but I can’t think of a more complete player than Debryne in the the PL this season. But I realise that he will never get in a team of the year leg alone win a player of the year, simply because it’s is accepted that City players are always overlooked. Which kind of suits us I supose. Top of the goals scored and assists this season sits Aguero with six goals and three assists. But strangely you would think it was lukaku or Kane listening to the sycophantic media. Sterling has scored more than Kane, but the media love Kane and simply don’t like young Sterling. That was why the buffoon Southgate droped Sterling when he’s arguably the only real creative player England have. I would be quite happy if Sterling made himself unavailable for England and saved himself the hassle and agro of dealing with idiots like Southgate and having to deal with crap from ignorant fuckwit fans. Also some in the game need reminding that Aguero is the best finisher the PL has ever seen and for him to have never made a pl team of the year says much more about the cretinous individuals that vote than it does for Aguero. Sorry gone off on a tangent. Lol.

                                    Have to agree with Brian nine. KDB over Hazard every time for me. But somehow i suspect Chelsea fans would think the other way round. Personally i Will be disappointed with a point. I expect Pep will have our lads fired up and we will go all out for the 3 pts.

                                      Maybe nine. Chelsea away coming up, we can’t be as open and relaxed first half with you guys as we were yesterday. Moratta looks lethal. We owe you one, I expect the lads will be fired up. No sideshow either.

                                        Anyone else think mingolet was a little bit lucky to stay on the pitch?

                                          Routine win for City once they started playing. Thought Palace played ok first half but went to pieces 2nd half. Sakho had a poor game for me. Great goal by Sane today. Based on stats Aguero is right up there. 6 goals and 3 asists so far in PL this season. Sterling has five goals.

                                            Yes he’s a bit rash and perhaps his skill on the ball isn’t as good as Otamendi but he can also fly into tackles. Mangala deserves his chance imo. West Brom were probably as physical as it’s gets in the PL.
