Would have been up for it if I was back home in the UK for it. Bet it’ll be a decent match. Argentina always seem so blessed for attacking talent. Messi or not, there will be plenty of stars on show

Sorry to hear that Sean. Completely understand your reaction to Nil’s outburst.

Nil, you really could do with taking a leaf out of Sean’s book and enjoying the forum for what it is and stop complaining about the setup, the posters, the club pages etc.

I’m tempted to change the tag line to Sean’s quote above. “Footydebate- This is a fucking football forum!”

P.S I apply the above to myself as well and won’t be editing any posts unless in the circumstances described above!

Going forward, I want the editing of posts to only be done as an absolute last resort and only when there’s an obvious intention to troll the site or unprovoked insults are aimed at any of the posters. In other words, only in extreme cases.

I have no idea what Chucky’s post said but it’s irrelevant now. Just be aware that I absolutely don’t want censorship on the site going forward unless in the most extreme circumstances which I don’t think apply to any of the regulars on here.

I really like both Chucky and 999 as posters so I hope to see both posting on here again regardless.

I have to take partial blame myself for not being clearer on what will/won’t be accepted on the site but I hope the above clears up any confusion. Now let’s get back to slagging off Jose and his bus!

Adlab, as others have said, it’s City’s turn at the moment. When you’re at the top, you’re there to be shot at. The media are desperate for a title race as it sells papers. Clearly, a City loss helps make that slightly more realistic (obviously not going to happen). The City fans misinterpret the increased hope of a tighter race for some anti-City agenda, which is just not there.

As good as City have been this season, I think the whole “best-ever” tag assigned to everything related to City this season has been a tad overused. But that’s the Utd fan inside me talking and, just like you do, I see the things I want to see. We all think we’re hard done by from the press mate but it’s rarely, if ever, the case.

Have to agree with Hightown here. There’s been absolutely loads in the media about how much we’re spending on Sanchez. Sanchez’s wage goes up by about £100k every time I read a new article. It’s been done to death though about how much we’re paying for him. Nobody would watch sports channels if they just talked about the fee and wages all day, every day. The media have been pushing this “Pep or money” story for days which really doesn’t fit the whole United love-in you’re suggesting exists in the media Adlab.

As Hightown said, there have been so many stories about whether or not this City side are the best side ever and whether or not Guardiola is the best coach ever in the PL. All this without a single trophy to his name yet since arriving, mind. Hardly the sign of an agenda against City. Pep is much more of a media darling these days than Jose is. I think everyone is quite fed up of Jose now and are sharpening their pencils in preparation for the inevitable breakdown.

There are plenty of Utd pundits on TV but I sometimes wish there weren’t. IMO they’re harsher on us than anyone else. Same goes for the Liverpool pundits. Carragher and Co aren’t afraid to rip into Liverpool.

If ever 2 games of football summed Liverpool up under Klopp (and arguably going back to Rodgers’ time) then you only have to look at their last two games.

Devastating against the top sides at times whilst often falling to defeat when least expected to, after struggling to break down a stubborn defence and conceding through a defensive mistake.

It’s why I wouldn’t put it past them to miss out on top 4 but win the CL! They’re going to cause the big sides all sorts of problems in the CL if they can get past Porto.

Well none of us have any idea what he’s earning Banjo Chucky so not sure what else to say! The only thing we can be almost certain about is that he’s on a bigger contract than Mhki.

Even if it is the reported £1.5mil a week then the above still stands!

Dybala is a good player but I’m not convinced he’s as good as he should be by now if he’s going to be a world beater. Did anyone read this a few days ago?

Paulo Dybala: Will Juventus forward turn brilliant into consistent? – http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/42715734

It seems he’s quite a frustrating player but Pep may well be the coach to get the best out of him.

Brilliant signing by City in securing KDB. I’m not crazy about the Sanchez signing but swapping a player who can’t get a game for one of our rival’s best players is pretty good business even with the extra wages added on.

Did I give you that pic Jim?! ?

If I did, I think I remember you using it elsewhere and I hoped your fellow City fans would recognise you quicker if they visited the site!

If Spurs were to finish 6th, would Poch be under pressure or should he not be expected to get any higher than that?

For what it’s worth, I’ll think they’ll get at least 5th and push the current top 4 close for a CL spot but, with Arsenal hitting form, it’s hard to call the order of 2nd to 6th place. I wonder which of the managers would survive a 6th place finish. Klopp probably would. I think Poch would too. Not so sure about any of the others

Nil I merged your thread with the original week 24 thread just so we get the predictions in

Every time I go on twitter it seems to go up by about £100k a week! We’re all quick to slate the papers when they talk about transfer rumours so why is everyone all of a sudden believing them now? I don’t for a minute believe he’d be on £577,000 a week.

Jim, surely Carroll is a smokescreen. I can’t imagine Chelsea would go in for him at all. It just doesn’t make sense

There’s absolutely no way those figures are accurate! £27mil a year before tax!

I never understand though why the media always quote our fees as the total fee including agent fees, wages, transfer fee etc but only quote the transfer fees for every other club!

Either way, it’s definitely getting out of control now though.
