If Kopp thought that he would have played him there in the Barca away instead of playing him at 8 and Gini as the 9. He was starting in the big games after Christmas last year so the manager likew what he sees. There is a very good player there, just need to see it more consistently

Just checked wiki. He played not one minute in the 00/01 season and called Ged a wanker on tv a few years ago for indicating that he shouldn't and Robbie/Sami should.

If City turn their form around and return to last seasons form they will finish with 91 points. We would have to get less than 67 points from our next 30 games for them to pass us. I have no interest in jinxing it but that looks positive. If we return to our form prior to our 17 wins in a row we will end up with 96. Even after the disastrous Spurs game in 17/18 we garnered 62 points from 29 games so we would be close to achieving 90 points if we go back to that form. Also I'd be surprised if City return to that kind of form without Laporte.

Against Barcelona last season we were missing Keita, Ox, Lallana, Salah, Firmino and lost Robertson for the 2nd half. We still won 4-0. If it was Wolves maybe we would have lost 2 nil though.

8 point lead. Even better

2 nil?

I know times have changed but our 3rd and 4th managers after Kenny were good appointments and we were still on our 4th after 19 years. They were on their 4th post Ferguson after 5 and a half and he doesn't seem as if he will last too long either

And the young centre back, Tuanzebe had the armband ahead of experienced players who are at the club a while - Lingard Jones Pogba Romero Rojo?

Something seriously up there. Why didn't Pogba take a pen

They have 3 kids on the bench with 15 senior games between them. while another Tuanzebe who was on loan at Villa last season has played twice with them. However the most scary one is that Phil Jones is also there

I posted on the dark side lately that I was diagnosed with tongue cancer before Christmas. I had surgery where two-thirds of the tongue was removed (replaced with graft from thigh) and had intensive chemo and radiotherapy which finished in March. Lost 3 stone in a rough 6 months but came off the morphine last month and went back to work on reduced hours 4 weeks ago. Work have been extremely supportive and everyone has been so genuinely nice but one colleague blew me away last week. I would deal with this guy intermittently but wouldn't know him that well. He sent me an €100 e-voucher for flights saying that I've had a tough time and will deserve a holiday when better and he just wanted to put something towards it. Some people are class.

And me

Sunderland 92? Never easy

Delighted for you. I was diagnosed in November with a tumour in my tongue. Had surgery to take the bastard out within 18 days. Started radiotherapy and chemotherapy in March. The fucking pain in my mouth has been horrific. On morphine for last 6 months but trying to wean off now as the pain decreases but that is causing me to be so fucked tired. More than half my tongue is from a skin graft of my thigh - 29 stitches and is still a fair bit swollen resulting in it chafing against my teeth while asleep. Its improving all the time but it is fucking slow. Meeting my surgeon on 31st May. I'm hoping he gives me good news and I can have a double celebration on the 1st June. By the way, the season Liverpool have had has made a sick, tired and sore man very happy this past 6 months and I can't believe fans of any other club can laugh at us at the moment. We are the lucky ones. That being said, I'd be gutted if we don't win in Madrid.
