Not making them work for it what fucking planet is he on. This is our highest points tally at this point in our history and we've won it 18 fucking times the stupid entitled lottery bastard.

Tried it on, perfect in length, perfect across the shoulders, perfect in the arms, not so perfect around the middle, because I'm a skinny cunt, the woman tells me I can get it taken in by the local tailor they use and 5 mins later this lovely young lady comes and pins it for me in the shop. £45. So a £1300 leather jacket has cost me £450 tailored to perfection. It's at this point I would like to apolgise to Hades for my actions. I'm sorry man. Gets home from Manc and goes to see my mum and my nephew. Tells her I've bought a new coat and she comes out with a black leather that my uncle has given to my dad. It's in the style of Tony Soprano, I am so happy that me and my dad can go to the boozer in our leather jackets together. What a fucking great day.

What's the point in following a team that you can't take your kids to and launch them at the opposition players?

The day The Drowning Man and Creator Supreme give up their relentless negativity is the day our title challenge will flounder. Stick to your guns, boys. Stick to your guns.

Gonna set up a petition that Rafa gets awarded Moreno’s medal should we see this through.

Any fears we had about pulling this jacket off have been put to bed when 3 separate women walked into the lamppost outside the shop as I was trying it on. It's the sex.

Saw this. Even the picture was prescient...

Spun £50 up to £80 on City's wins since they beat us. £80 on them tonight. Never been happier to lose a bet. #wintax @rico1304

The Bitch will be walking down the street in his new leather jacket and someone from Widnes will call him gay, that's how boss he'll look.

A nervous wreck sitting here in a slurry of my own piss and shite. Is this what winning is like?

Have you considered adding a hat to your new look?

Still up there with one of my personal highlights of the forum.

So, The Missing Lineker is new to GOT but was so pleased with his choice of username on a forum that he told all his RS mates about it, one of whom just happens to lurk on here to laugh at the idiocy on display? Hmmm.

Henry was so good he'd get into this City team twice.

He hasn't gone over to Bluemoon. It's crashed! Cunts.

Give me Brian Moore any day. Colemans crackling voice from the 70 world cup was the stuff of legend. His "Pele" was elongated and his commentary on banks save against him was brilliant.

Imagine being one of the 256 Guests online, wearing your City shirt having just been done 2-1 by Newcastle. Iya.

I love Rafa! I love life!

KIN BOOOOOO!

The Bitch in his new jacket > Rita Ora

The bloke who said his son worked at BAE but he voted Leave knowing his lads job go go anyway. Said he voted for himself and not his son. I’m not the most selfish man in the world anymore.

It's a side that the club's marketing men could really get behind. MAKE US NIGHTMARE DREAM

Fuck you iRat, you traitor....

An Everton fan from Norway ........how ironic

I've pulled Ardja up on this previously, but with a bit of time on my hands, I'll have another go: I'd take Silva over all the other City players every day at his peak, and possibly even now. A little bit of that is because of our need for a player with his ability even more than a pacey player out wide (Mane and Salah aren't too bad), and even if Aguero's peak form would be useful, there's less drop-off to Firmino (who's also perfect for the way we play and especially played last year) than there is for peak Silva to Shaquiri (who I really like). I actually think if Silva had stayed in Spain (Barca/Real) he would have had even more than the impressive number of caps he's got. I also think that the 08-12 Spain side is by far the best NT I've seen. Once you were in that side, there wasn't really going to be a lot of changes (Alonso suffered because of this at the 08 Euros). I'm actually a bit surprised Real didn't try (harder) to get him to come to them, as they would have had a much better chance to match up with Guardiola's Barca than they eventually did. In the last 10 years, I think only Messi surpasses Silva in terms of being able to control the game from an attacking midfield position. He would have been absolutely perfect for Barca as well, his only problem being his peak coming almost simultaneously as Messi/Xavi/Iniesta/Busquets', so they never really "needed" him. I actually rate him as better than both Busquets and Xavi (different players/positions I know), and almost on a par with Iniesta. He's also the one player of any opposing PL team I really look forward to see play. If you like explosive (CRonaldo, Gerrard, Sane), physically gifted players, long-range shots/long passes and a playing style where those attributes shine more than the technical/tactical aspects of the game I can understand why you think Silva is overrated. Personally I'm more in awe when someone without the slightest doubt and with a hint of arrogance traps the ball consistently no matter how or when the ball is played to him and no matter how much pressure he's under and still manages to work something positive out of the situation 99 times out of a 100. I don't think I've seen a player with as consistent a good 1st touch in my lifetime (and I've devoured a LOT of football since the mid 80's). His importance to his team can't really be measured by assists or goals, as he's basically orchestrating their entire "playbook" whatever the position he plays. KDB/Gerrard or Silva/Alonso. I think the former duo will show up a lot better in the numbers and on highlight reels, while the latter are the players that can take your entire team to a new level. I don't think it's a coincidence that our entire team fell apart after Xabi left, and I'm equally unsurprised when City struggle when Silva's not playing. Tactically his positioning and decision making is extraordinarily good too. Anyway, as someone on the previous page said, I actually think he's a bit underrated, and him not earning POTY is more a testament to what type of football culture is appreciated on your shores than what Silva has done for City and the PL. Unless we win the league this year (in which case VVD or Salah might win it), I think Silva is going to be rewarded (and it won't be a lifetime/sympathy award like Giggs got). Not that I think he cares too much, he doesn't strike me as one of those players clamouring individual awards (whose hype and wrongness is the true shit of modern football anyway. Imagine a young kid watching football on Youtube or equivalent platforms 20 years from now and learning from the Ballon D'or list that Ronaldo was Messi's equal - shiver....). Signed football hipster

That very much forms the basis of my previous statement.

I want to take some of those drops Ash drinks at the end of Evil Dead 3, and just wake up when the season's over. My heart won't cope with this run in.

I feel all David Frost commentating on the Ali Foreman fight about Rafa: 'HE'S DONE IT!! THE GREAT MAN HAS DONE IT'

Love the original of that gif as well. Only just found out that its Robert Redford and not the actor who plays Alan in The Hangover

Imagine the bitters tonight. Win 1 nil, away, and down to 10 with half hour to go and they'll be fucking crest fallen with that result.

Get the FUCK IN! Now let's do our business tomorrow!

What we need is a Maguire/Winks/Rondon spine. Make us dream, Jurgen.

This is clearly set up so when the EU tell her to fuck off trying to renegotiate the deal she can blame them for no deal. And all the press will back her up and shift the blame to the EU. I see Dennis Skinner voted with the Tories yet again. Never mind eh, he’ll call one of them a tosser next week and be hero worshipped.

And that.

Genius. "Because she is a woman..."

Can’t believe even Tomkins is at the Steve-o style wind-ups.

I think it's fair enough when teams chasing the title don't take the cup seriously, and I can even understand those in a relegation scrap also resting players for the cups. What blows my mind is the number of mid table sides who make loads of changes for the cup. The likes of Everton, Leicester, Watford, West Ham etc They should be going balls out to try and win it.

Plenty of people think scholes was better than Gerrard. He wasnt the little ginger bollocks.

Waaaay too early for tongue in cheek comments. I'm only half way through my coffee.

He might be able to rearrange the words in that sentence and find something he has done though.

Yeah they’d already won the FA Cup, just like the 30 European Cups and Leagues they would have won. Mentalists, delusional conspiracy theory mentalists. They want to be classed as a big club and a parochial club at the same time. The simultaneously have superiority and inferiority complexes. By “ we are Everton “ they must be referring to one of their many personalities.

"You say tomaytoes, I say rat You say potatoes, I say rat again..."

I'm not arsed. Or no more arsed than I am of any scal getting done regardless of if its footy related or not. As long as when they fight they don't do it around others, as far as I'm concerned they can slash each other until there's nobody left standing.
