I'm confused Joke Detection Mode - Off / On [Disabled] Have to say, disappointed that we're probably not gonna be signing anyone (Unless we can offload some of those wasters soon.....that's right, I'm looking at you Roque) But as Khaldoon mentioned, our current squad are the Champions. Still could do with some defensive/Yaya cover and a winger.

we're all having a joke buddy, calm down

only my reputation, only my reputation.
closest I come to betting is super 6 (not close at all) - no risk but big possible reward, if you are a lucky bastard

[ajbns87]

Any idea why Hibbert or Osman are never considered for the England squad it seems? I realise both positions are well covered, but it's a pity neither have been given the chance in the careers.

[Domeux]

I only bet on horses I'm afraid. Even then I lose most of my money.

ajbns87: Probably because if they had been given a chance, and England had lost, the manager would be under attack from the media and fans and whatnot like "WTF you playin' them two for when you've got such and such on the bench?!"




So guys, predictions for Sunday's Community Shield?

I don't like predicting cup games... even though it's a glorified friendly.

It's like last year, it was derby game, but I never felt psyched for it like I do other derby's. If we win, we win.

Oh I love predicting big games. I can then see how miserably wrong I am, or to see if I'm correct.

I think City will win 2-1. I think it will be a very defensive game and I can see City winning it; but I think it will be a close match.

I thought some of you might like this.



I hope the best team on the day wins the community shield. I know I sound like a hippy but i'm really not phased about this one . I hope we get to see Hazard play though. All the hype around him last year has intrigued me and I never really watch the French league.

[Domeux]

Apparently City going for Scott Sinclair, hope it's true, we could do with another Winger.

As for the Community Shield, wouldn't mind seeing it go to Penalties, other than that I don't expect much seeing as we'll probably be playing youngsters.

Scott Sinclair...? I'm surprised. Even though you need to cost cut you should be aiming higher. And as for Sinclair himself you would have thought he'd have learnt from his Chelsea experience how sh*t sitting on the bench and not playing week in week out is. Maybe the big(ger) pay packet is too good to turn down.

It's an odd one.

He'll be somewhat of a squad player no doubt. But a very useful for City. We lack Wingers.

Plus with B-Rod out of the Swansea job and some of the others players about to leave/leaving maybe a move to Citeh wouldn't be a bad result.

He'd be a forgotten man in that squad, no point, an unneeded expenditure for City and a bad career move for Scott.

No, not at all. He'd be one of only two wingers and with AJ possibly going, he'd get substantial playing time.

Not regularly but I sometimes take a punt on whoever Arsenal are playing. Victory or defeat is then pretty satisfactory.

Juventus manager Conte got a 10 month ban for his involvement in the latest italian scandal. Ouch.

"Manchester United is for sale."

Uhm, okay then. I haven't heard much on this. I will have to have a read later and see what the Glazers are up to.

for f*ck's sake Juve are always in the centre of these scandals, would not be surprised if they actually fixed matches to win the league, if they did then they should be scrapped as a team, f*ck em, cheating c*nts. You can't trust that they won the title on their own merits, ever.

[Domeux]

I hope our owners buy you lot, then rename you Manchester City B and you can be our reserve squad

In all serious I have no idea what them crafty Glazers are up to these days.

If we get rich owners like you then you are super screwed. It won't happen though, this is most likely this is just some reference to the floatation on NY stock exchange and some dickhead journalist took it the wrong way, either cos they are a complete moron or they are trying to get peoples' attention by writing up some bullsh*t for one of 2 reasons:

1 he is mediocre at best and possibly unnoticed due being in a dead end job and a f*ck-known news outlet.
2 so people will go OMG I msut read this news story, buy the papers, go on the website etc and pay money fro te paper or be exposed to advertising, these 'news' outlets make money off their reader, the more there are the more money they get (from different places for different mediums)

Or both

Glazers will not sell United, yet, they are in debt from all their other ventures, united is the only asset they have that can pay this debt off, so if they sell United outright then they will lose their kneecaps.

If Juventus win something you just know there's gonna be a scandal incoming. Now I wonder if they'll get rid of Conte or keep him after he rebuilt and made them champions once again (they might be c*nts but they did play hella good last year)
