How things have changed, next season City have put in 1000 heated seats with internet connection in the colin bell stand (mind you, I think its about 3 grand a season to sit in them)

You're not a Bell Ender then?

Think a poor mans Emile Heskey Paul

Tbf, he is only 22 and maybe he will come good, but if someone offered us 5p I think we would snap their hands off

[TimTheVillain]

Have to agree re gary c***, he has done us no favours in the popularity stakes thats for sure. The twat even called us Man U****d once, but no end of complaints from fellow blues can get rid of him, Marwood aint much better btw.

The platt lane was where I sat for many a year before it was given to away fans on police advice (the hooly years). The good thing though, the piles soon cleared up not having to sit on them wooden planks.

Ah, the Bell End ;-)

[Dante Lavelli]

Seats with internet connections?!!  What the f**k.  Why?

Seriously how have they tried to sell this facility?
I could understand them having WiFi in the associated corporate lounge but what internet will they need during the game that 3G could not provide?

[note: I have next to no idea what half of those terms mean so don't get too technical]

lol nah, although the ex misses might disagree with me. I sit in the East stand, not far from the away fans

To be honest, i havent got a clue why or how but allegedly they have sold the lot. It might make more sense if I told you that it is a Gary C*** idea, he thinks he's american y'know.

It could be for when are playing shit and the arabs want a quick hand shandy. Personally if I wanted a warm arse and the net, I'd just stay at home

Ah so you’re one of the Stockportite’s that stands there and hurls abuse at us for 90 minutes?

[KevinGage]

Aye.

Always had a lot of time for Citeh. I'm sure you'll have a fair amount of cocks jumping on the bandwagon, something we've only had a small dose of in recent years.

But getting 25-30,000 gates in the Second (or old Third) division a few years back indicates that you have a fair few hard bitten types as well.

Not as many as we were getting then, don't forget that.

[PaulWinch again]

Not a lot happened on this score today then! I wish it would get resolved.

[richard moore]

Big club. Genuine fans. Great trips to the old Maine Road. What a team they had in the early 70s. And some fantastic strips too, I loved the red and black stripes and the white with the diagonal stripes. Some of the best fans I have ever met, extremely knowledgeable about football in general. Always had a big following. Which is where they differ from Chelsea in every respect. It is a shame that will all now get forgotten, and to be labelled a 'gloryhunter' will probably be the worst aspect of all this and very unfair for the genuine City fans of which there are thousands...at least when you see a Chelsea fan, you more or less know they are not the real deal!!!

I know people who have known him since they were at scool together who reckon he's sound and he did get us posh seats and wined and dined up there a couple of years ago but he does always come across as a bit of an arse.

[KevinGage]

I don't think the Evertron could outbid us, nor Fulham, and Man City have to say yes to a bid first. Also, didn't Redknapp say they can't afford him? (Presumably because they aren't prioritising a creative central midfielder.)

If that's true, you'd hope we're the only choice for him.

Monts, you come across as a smart bloke, so surely you know by now that 'arry saying "we can't afford him" usually = a bid is imminent.

It also doesn't always matter if we outbid other clubs. Generally it's the players that hold all the power nowadays and if Ireland wants to link up with Hughes again or he opts for a similar sized club to us (Everton), with similar ambitions -but the added benefit of being an easy commute away from his current pad- he'll find a way.

[Monty]

This is true, Kevin, and I was playing devil's advocate to some extent. Another point would be that Man City have no particular need of an extra £2-3m, so any amount we could outbid Everton with would probably be unimportant if he wanted to go to Everton, though we could pay him more I think.

As for the "we can't afford 'im", I always thought that was 'Arryish for "we made an offer but it was rejected". I thought that the 'Arryish for "a bid is imminent" was "I fink 'e's a good player, really good player, bu' I don' wanna to tawk abaa' 'im".

[KevinGage]

Just from memory but: He said he couldn't afford Kaboul when he was at Pompey and lied"I think he'll to go to Villa."  A week later said player was linking arms with the Mound of the Hound of the Baskervilles.

On Keane: "triffic player, but I don't think we can afford him."  Keane had a medical at Tottingham the following day.

If 'arry said Good Morning to me I'd nip out to check what time of day it was.
