Just got up. What's the score ?

Seems like top 10 will be the most realistic ambition this season. Some of the teams City did well against in the first half of the season are beginning to wake up, while City are going the other way.

But wouldn't the months and months of comedy be worth it, given the Spurs - Arsenal fans affection for one another ?

I think you have to also factor in Mourinho's potential wobbly relationship with his players. It will be interesting to see how the likes of Lloris, Kane, Alli and Dier react when Mourinho starts calling them out when things don't go his way.

ta.

Just a sincere question out of curiosity, have you ever sat (or stood) at a football match and just watched it, just for the sake of it ?

Thanks for the heads up Foxy. I have seen his name in this thread a couple of times (Ed: eh ?).

Then my apologies - saw it somewhere else and laughed my teeth out.

Just finished a good book about the Home Guard. It's called "Tales Of The Hun Expected".

Currently reading a really short book about the battle for Arnhem. Abridged Too Far.

A man wakes up in a hospital, bandaged from head to foot. The doctor comes in and says, "Ah, I see you've regained consciousness. Now, you probably won't remember, but you were in a huge pile-up on the motorway. You're going to be okay, you'll walk again and everything, however, your penis was severed in the accident and the paramedics couldn't find it.” The man groans, but the doctor goes on… "You do have £9,000 in insurance compensation coming though, and we now have the technology to build a new penis. They work great but they don't come cheap. It's roughly £1,000 an inch. The man perks up. So, the doctor says, "You must decide how many inches you want. But understand that you have been married for over thirty years and this is something you should discuss with your wife. If you had a five incher before and get a nine incher now, she might be a bit uncomfortable. If you had a nine incher before and you decide to only invest in a five incher now, she might be disappointed." The doctor comes back the next day, "So, have you spoken with your wife?” "Yes I have," says the man. "And has she helped you make a decision?” "Yes," says the man. "What is your decision?" asks the doctor. "We're getting a new kitchen''

Ian Holloway, top UK football manager, has the answer. Apparently it's Brexit - that'll clear this VAR thing up nicely.

Not long to wait now then

Really ? So how come Pep's not giving a lot of game time ? Admittedly he was one of our better players, but "great, great" ? I don't think so.

Well, me duck, this "guy" thinks you should continue your journey to a brighter future where you find a team (any team ? any sport ?) with fans that really appreciate you trying so hard to like them and whose views on the team match yours. By the bye - were you at the game yesterday ?
