The reason the medical team call the shots on this sort of thing can be summed up in three words - Beale and Willock.
Thank God we have a coach intelligent and mature enough to accept it. |

West Ham, the definition of a one man team. Stop Bowen, you stop them, and Kemper absolutely did that. We have a proper LB, can see Cirkin being moved into LW.
I thought the midfield was fantastic and Madsen was so impressive doing things mostly unnoticed.
Now beat Derby with their inevitable low block. |

FFS. Smyth had clearly taken a knock and was hobbling when taken off. I'm amazed with your inside medical knowledge of Smyths injury that he could have stayed on.
Kemper has not played for 2 months and with Cirkin suspended we need a LB.
Not like the old days when proper men played 50 games in a season blah blah blah. |

The Walking Dead take a very well-deserved, and unexpected for most on here, point.
As for Wham, they spend all that money and are still shyte. Fck Bowen. |

A top coach and that is clear by making average players better. He comes across as calm.and intelligent and is just the sort of manager we have needed for years.
The players clearly like him and have bought into his ideas, those that don't (yes you Kolli) are given short shrift. Love it.
Standards, standards, standards. Just what we have wanted to hear. |

It sounds like there is a lot of fast tracking of the entire Academy setup. Almost like they're looking for the 1 or 2 who they can push through quickly and the rest are there to make the team numbers up. |

Unfortunately, not. Burnham was the mayor of Manchester from 2017 until 2026.
A lot of the regeneration of Manchester, which he has taken political credit for, was bankrolled by the UAE.
You don't build 6k houses, etc, for the love of it. It whole thing stinks, and Burnham then makes that statement.
Corrupt, the whole thing. |

Doesn't want to work hard off the ball summed up by his shrug of the shoulders when Burnley scored their third or fourth against us at home 18 months ago. Disgraceful.
I was so angry I had to leave the ground.
Compare his attitude to Lloyd or Adamson. I know which one I'd want on my team. |

The next round of TV rights bidding for the PL might be interesting. Starts in 2028, so about 18 months.
The rate of monetary increase in the bidding had already slowed down due to saturation and now we have a competition that is tarnished with corruption and cheating. |

I saw this earlier and can't believe the bullshit the City bloke comes out. Conspiracy theories FFS. The eluding to some piece of evidence that will clear them of everything. Yeah, right.
In a weird way, this whole saga may be the best thing that has happened to English football. Just like Italian football in the 90s, the scandals just kept stacking up and the football became boring. Top players stopped moving to Serie A and the decline set in.
History most definitely rhymes. |

Just like auditors when the financial crisis happened back in 2008. Sunning themselves on a yacht while Rome burns. And no one went to prison. |

But this whole mess has highlighted that you can't allow owners to spend what they like.
Owners are now Billionaires, not the local garage owner done good, who can spend hundreds of millions and think nothing of it. City dominated football because money was no object and if a rival matched them they would be able to spend more and more. Allowing all owners to spend whatever would make it worse.
City have directly caused other teams to over stretch themselves, inflated player, manager and agent wages/fees across Europe and this has trickled down the English pyramid causing teams to fold.
The only way to fix this whole mess is to bring in a wage cap like the US. It would reduce the quality but might just save the game from itself. |

Football merely reflects society. Everything in this country has been sold off to the highest foreign bidder and football is one of them.
Fck City and fck the PL. They deserve each other. |

Disgusting. The integrity of the PL is now under serious threat and the last 15/20 years if including Chelsea has been tainted and soiled.
Billionaire owners, yet it still wasn't enough for them. |

Yep, apparently injured.
Paul Smyth upfront it is then. Only took until game 8 this season. Impressive! |
