Game on.

Lock it in the safe.

I don't think there's a particular date but whenever it was that the club started to hand out 80k a week contracts to whoever asked for them regardless of what they accomplished here. I know contracts for a lot of players went through the roof after the League win but IMO that was fair game. I felt like they'd earned good money. We started handing out stupid money to players like Vestergaard, Bertrand, Choudhury et al. That was when we lost control.

Rightly so. ****ing disgusting that the board thought it would be a good idea in the first place. The board should be ashamed and each of them should resign for bringing our club into disrepute like this. Yet another example of them not listening to supporters in favour of money only for them to spunk that money up the wall.

Is the old logo a stylistic choice?

Man City make us look rock solid at the back.

Ederson is ****ing shite

Madrid deserve to be level. Man City cannot defend.

A sit in protest would have been fantastic for this game. BT Sport are showing the game and often work pitch side. A sit in protest would disrupt their plans and would ensure that our voices are heard by a wider audience.

There was huge support for a protest at this game when this thread was created in the wake of the Fulham game on the 18th of January. In that post it was decided that the protest would be held on the 15th of January. That’s nearly a full month and absolutely nothing has been set in stone. Not a peep from any official or unofficial supporter group. All we know is “Join us at 11:30 no Saturday, 15th February 2025, outside the ground”. Now we're less than 4 days until this is supposed to start and they're on here asking for volunteers.

@ProjectReset What do you need volunteers for?

Can't see us scoring let alone getting a point. 0-4.

Pretty sure you can't register a player outside the transfer window. Is that right?

This is the one. Pretty sure we were trying to sign him for a good two years.

Where is this taking place? Can only find "outside the ground" as the location.

Why does the billionaire owner get to pick up the trophy before the team does?

Yep, he did a Schmeichel when a top quality keeper just comes and claims it. Had more than enough time to make the ground up, he just bottled it.

I think he's a bit of a donkey but I also think he's the only player we've got that actually wants to defend.

I enjoyed it tonight. I thought we'd get battered but we played well.

Surely nobody actually thought he'd get any game time

Probably negotiating a pay off.

Better they did that than release a game with a million bugs. But you know for a fact that that is exactly what will happen with FM26.

Deal.

I'm not even actually that sure he passes the eye test. I have no interest in stats on the whole. It's not where I get any enjoyment from with regards to football so I have no idea if this is true or not but he must be amongst the most tackled players in the league. I think he hasn't got a good grasp on when to take on his man or when to pass the ball and it leads to him losing the ball and breaking down our attacks on an all too regular basis. I think this is where El Khannouss trumps him. I think the attacking midfielder or winger can't consistently lose the ball in this day and age. I think Buonanotte and Mavididi (the two most unexperienced players in the Prem) are the two that consistently give it away. Fatawu was the same earlier in the season before his injury. We as a side have to keep the ball better than we have done because the back four cannot contend with any Premier League attack. For me, Buonanotte doesn't start in our best 11 at this moment in time. Partly because El Khannouss is better but also because Buonanotte cannot play on the wings.
