The Milner Novela... Final episode page 296

[LeeB]

Ashley Young will still be here.

How does that relate?

bcause Ashley Young is our best player and contracted to us

Is that Ashley "takes 5 weeks to realise he has to cross the ball" young?

No. It's just Ashley Young.

Lee Hendrie Vanden Plas?

Christ this is even more tasteless than Ireland's Range Rover.

My sister had one of those, she drove it back from the shops with the handbrake on the once, it didn't noticably affect the performance. There was a story told years ago that when BL unveiled it at some European motor show, the head designer at Pinifarina took one look and said 'My God, does it look like that from the other side as well?'

They are still the rage over in New Zealand!

Where sheep are sheep;-)

Has Jimmy boy gone onto a better life yet ?

[olaftab]

Has he f*cked off yet so that we can close this thread?

[eamonn]

Did we ever get to the bottom of his hideous goal celebration when he scored the penalty at Wembley?

[brian green]

Before the picture of that lovely motor sinks beneath the waves I bet you did not know that Princess Grace of Monaco had one of those.  Legend has it that she never drove it because she much preferred the 3 Litre Rover in which she unexpectedly drove off the Corniche to her doom.   Such was the strength of that Midlands Masterpiece that the coroner stated that she must have died prior to going through the armco because the car hit the bottom of the cliffs with hardly a dent in it.  Just a legend.   Birmingham cars.   Those were the days.

[eastie]

According to wm the milner deal is on ice now - some kind of problem.

[Rob Gee]

According to SSN Ireland wants a £2m pay off from Man City which is what's held everything up.

[TopDeck113]

I'd worry about a player whose biggest concern is the pay-off from his current club rather than knowing who the manager is going to be at his prospective new employer.

[PaulWinch again]

I think it's fair enough he wants a pay off, just cough up Citeh money doesn't matter to you.

[Mazrim]

Come on City. Pay the man and damn his impudence.

I remember the joke from that time.

Q: What's the difference between Princess Grace and Gordon Cowans?

A: Gordon Cowans can take corners.

[Chris Smith]

I've just been told that R5 are reporting that the deal is off due to a hitch at the City end. Didn't hear it myself so cannot confirm.

[Monty]

Far from it, far from it. They're reporting it's delayed due to the aforementioned payment that Ireland's demanding, but that it really should be resolved in good time.
