Welcome to City. May Pep make you into the player you obviously have potential to be.

Feel more confident Pep can do this where as if it were Pellers I would be a tad worried.
I haven't a fecking clue what I'm doing! Gillie come back man I want my sig back. As the Photobucket thingy gone?

I feel a lot better having signed Stones, although last year I was a big critic of his giving away the ball. So I'm not sure why, jusy hoping Pep will change him! Last week's shambles shows something was needed.

so our centre back quartet is Vinny, Stones, Otter and Denayer as it seems Mangala is not wanted. i wouldnt turf mangala out just yet, we will be very lucky if vinny was fit to play 50% of the games, if even that much.

That fucker Burnham is going to be in the Mayoral elections for Manchester shortly. Un-fucking-believable.

It certainly is, that slimeball was told by Momentum not to resign from the shadow cabinet and he would get their backing for mayor - utterley sickening. The Trots have been installed in the NEC today as well so that's it - bye bye the Labour Party and welcome to the entrist hard left - Scargill, Livingstone, Hatton and Skinner are all cheering from their oxygen tents as Militant,SWP, etc with their Communist backers in the big Unions and the rest gather behind their patsy throwback Corbyn to start the revolution..... 50 years too late
Welcome indeed.


I'm a big union man but feel not in the slightest communist. I fight for workers rights against a management that want to cut corners on health and safety plus wages. All in the name of increased profits and bonuses.

Yeah but pre historic Corbyn and his pre historic cronie slime ball dictator Union leader partner in crime Len McCluskey have took the Labour party to the brink of the abyss just to satisfy there own bank balance . Hardly democratic and "for the people" . proper pair of cunts who should fuck off to North Korea ASAP if they had any slightest sense of dignity !

Gentlemen your football commentary is most entertaining. Your anti Corbyn politics however, leave a lot to be desired.

I think it will something like 2% or 98%.

Looks comfortable on the ball. Dare say he will end up in midfield in a few years. Decent debut and when he gets his regular partner will go from strength to strength.
