      Nine…Foden is being managed….he still needs a little “beef” for the tougher opponents but he is rapidly getting there and still learning. Next season will be his year but I see him making a good contribution in the New Year. From an English perspective..he is as good, now, as anyone out there but next year he will be in the Silva class

        I have been in hospital a few times over the last few years and had mixed fortunes. However, personal issues aside, I did see staff being challenged by drunken/drug fuelled people., even to a Police escort at times on the ward. I would leave the drunks in the gutter, if they want NHS treatment …they have to pay for it.. The NHS is for sick people NOT self inflicted misery of Happy hour”
        Also, no such thing as Health Tourist….make them pay …up front!!! Yes we can improve in many areas

          Anonymous…you maybe honest in your mind but you are very selective in subject matter. As a born and bred Lancastrian I am proud of my countries achievements and yes, there has been some dark passages of time related to a different era when what could be described as normal then is no longer to day…..it is called progress. Some progress others do not but live in the past.

          It is a point of view whichever way you look at it and there are no winners because everyone has a different view I do not apologise for mine though

            To me, this sums up a politician. I listened on TV to a losing Lib speaker who stated we lost because of Brexit….then goes on to say……If they had got there way and had a peoples vote this would not have happened or words to that effect. Well, you cannot have it both ways and you should listen to what the people wanted in the first place, now you have costs us millions in wasted time including your salary for something you tried to ignore, the real peoples choice of 2016. The will of the people have put you in your place They always look for excuses, never them to blame. It will be interesting to see how Labour tackle there own disaster…probably strikes!!!!
            As a country we will be OK providing we all put some more effort in and cut out the wastage we see in Government and institutions. I do not want the Government to run railways either, scrap HS2, Scrap Heathrow runway, no need for it

              The biggest problem the NHS has is the management of the whole system, the employment of Quango’s and an inept structure to support the reason for being there…i.e. to look after the sick. Agree with Chuky and money will never be enough, that is just the politicians game. They have to work better and smarter with the money, which what any other organisation has to do large or small The ratio between the Patient and the Service is astronomical. Our local health practise is installing a new OS to there computer system….it is absolute chaos and why did they not keep the old one running and break in the new one over a period instead of doing, or trying to do it in one go. Again, are we been sold a “pup”?

                Good pro performance from City with youngsters in as well. I have been wanting City to play Foden and Garcia all season. I think they made a big point to night, Plus another waiting to come in. We no longer need CBs, we have our two youngsters, this season maybe a little late for EPL results but next season with Laporte and Rhodri operating with them they should do well I would certainly play the three of them in the Cup games

                  For me, they are all liars, cheats, fiddlers of expenses. I just wonder , do we need them or at least cut the numbers down, one MP per county…..bring back the counties while we are at it.. No matter what happens with all the promises, Joe Soap will pick up the cost. Governments should not be running railways, airlines but should control water, gas and electric

                    Mak..2/3 draws would be the equivalent of two defeats and I think that maybe your biggest danger, not losing a match but making draws. At the same time providing you keep clear of injuries you should still be OK

                      Nine..I think you are right, Liverpool fans should sit back and enjoy the ride. They have a powerful team, well managed and motivated that is more than half the requirement needed. The only thing that could blow them off course is injuries or suspensions. Of course City and leicester will not give up the chase but it is just the same for them, more injuries for City or Leicester have a wobble and Liverpool maintain the gap and the games gets less to do anything about it. Just sit back and enjoy the game guys. This is good for football

                        srd79…to answer your post, as a City fan, KDB has plenty left in his tank for next 3/4 seasons, mahrez/Walker can go for me, Gungdoghan well worth keeping Otamendi, David Silva (who satiated at beginning of season it will his last) Augerro…if we are lucky we may get one more season. I do not think Jesus will take over Augerro role, two different players altogether, as we know Augerro has consistently scored goals season on season since he has been with us, I do not know any other player who has matched that time frame and would be good for us. Full backs we need, two centre backs we need Stones, I feel will not be the answer for City. Fernandinho, great servant, may get a year extension and will be worth it playing in his own position. Ederson, KDB, Sterling, Bernado, Rodri and laporte will be the core but I see Foden and Garcia adding to that.
                        I do not think there are many unhappy City fans because we are going in the right direction. We play Oxford and Port Vale soon in the Cups, it does not appear that long ago when we were playing them in the league and losing !!!!!That was a time when the “top4” were spending big and we could hardly afford lower league players…..nice to have a change!!!!!

                          Surrey blue….that is one of my points though, Pep HAS built a platform and style of play which can be improved on. I would agree this season was, to me, unlikely for a third title, next year, yes I think we will be back with a bang. I also agree 1/2 faces will not do it I put it down to at least 5 but I also expect two youngsters to be playing full time, they are ready now. I have a feeling pep may want to stay on the basis if he faced with a re build at least he is on familiar ground. If he decides to move on…where? Italy would be the favourite place but would he have what he has now? I doubt it and I would doubt money is an issue. The unlikely possibility is our owners would want to call time….but who is anywhere near Peps standards to take us forward again? A big risk The old guard are past it and the new up and coming are still unproven. If anyone could take over it would be Arteta or Vierra but I still think he will stay and give himself more time. We shall see.

                              Nil….remember this is only Peps third season, he had to re build the squad in that time and it does not always happen it comes right in a short period, money or not,I am sure in most City fans minds are that 1. he has achieved an attractive attacking style 2 He has picked up silverware. I know everyone bats on about CL but it will come sooner or later. This is about the club not Pep who the media are trying to make a story out of and some fans wish for failure.As a club the future is bright, investment in place, well managed , we also know we will not win everything that comes our way and accept that as a City fan

                                  By no stretch of the imagination could you call Peps time at City a failure. At some point in the future City will win the CL, although in my case I am not bothered, this maybe with or without Pep. Yes he should have had better cover but you have to remember Kompany , although very influential in the club, missed a lot of games, we still;ll needed cover then. Kompany was not the reason of our defensive woes…the full backs are just as problematic I assume these positions will be addressed in the summer but I hope to see some youngsters. In the meantime, as pep would say…you learn from mistakes not the things you do right and he is sincere enough to acknowledge his part

                                    Typical derby game. Expect the unexpected. Utd took the spoils to day by doing a better job up front. City tried but it was just not enough to day.
                                    We need to re focus on the rest of the season now and what that may bring. The PL has now gone, oddly I still thought we would claw our way back but we have now virtually no defenders left now with Stones off again

City cannot give up chasing but the lead is substantial now.Christmas/New Year will be a testing time for all
