The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[Legion]

As it was for me until I clicked on the edit button. Try again.

Apologies for the OT tangent here.

[Legion]

Oooh! Quick edit...

[Lowendbehold]

Milner is not a squad player which is on of the reasons he likes playing at the Villa, cant see him wanting to be a super sub at Man City

That was the point Richard Dunne made.  Milner is not yet the finished article and he needs game time.

Just Reading the new mon book and even at Celtic and Leicester he was known for his last minute dealing- I expect most of our transfers to be done in august so we might as well relax and enjoy the world cup.

I've read the Montgomery biography. Is the new one worth buying?
Thanks

Weren't people saying Barry would spend loads of time on the bench, he's played pratically every game he's been firt for.

Man. City wouldn't pay 30m for someone if he wasn't going to play pretty much every week.

What happened to the ellipses link?

It was showing for me as a blank post, so I removed that part.

Let's have another go:

Pablo, if you don't know when ellipses are appropriate or not, try this link for some handy advice.

So that's what they're called.

I just assumed that every sentence Pablo wrote was a real cliffhanger...

It seems a bit unauthorised biography and has very big print.

Tell that to Robinho.

[Concrete John]

I think the comments, and to be fair they aren't direct quotes, about them fancing him because of the new homegrown quota rule and as he can play in numerous positions, says 'squad player' to me!

But that having been said, he's too good not to get a large number of games for them.

In the end, it's Milner's decision.

I'm pissed off City are treating us as their feeder club.

Who's next for them to buy from us next season?

[Mazrim]

We've sold one player to them for an inflated price. A player we've clearly had the best from. We used half that money to buy our player of the season from them. I would hardly call that being their feeder club.

There is plenty of business to be done with City as they have so many good players that are hardly getting a game. As long as we come off best, so be it.

[pauliewalnuts]

i dont believe there is an "anti villa" agenda, but there is an agenda towards the north west and london clubs via the media...

Isn't that to do with the fact that north west and london clubs win all the silverware?

[AsTallAsLions]

[pablopicasso_10]

They have the agenda to try and sell as many papers as possible and as much advertising space in those papers as they can.

There is no other agenda other than that. Unless you can come up with an alternative?

there is the agenda of the journalsts personal allegience... shaun custis allegience to the barcodes is obvious to most... martin samuels allegience to west ham is not so obvious, but then again, he is one of the better journalists out there, but even that is not saying much...

there is also the agenda of local rags, like the echo who are a mouthpiece for the bin dippers... marca are the same for real madrid... bill howells negative comments about randy lerner when he first came to the club, because he doesnt talk to the media let alone give "exclusives" to people like howell... etc...

they all try to keep certain clubs sweet so that they do not chuck their dollies out of the pram, eg, ferguson at manure not speaking to the bbc anymore... etc...

there ARE agendas within the media, and although i accept that the main aim is to sell papers / gain viewers, etc, that means pandering to the majority glory hunter highlight generation fan, and that in itself, is an agenda...
