Apparently no Barnes or Madders still but Praet and Perez are back, as is Evans.

 

Hurray... I think.

The ragman - succesful operation to remove his trumpet.

[Shit_arse]

Bloody mothers day!! 

 

Here's to all those checking their phones every 30 seconds after doing 'the right thing' and not watching the game!!!!

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

It's remarkable how the return of Perez has garnered such optimism. I think the term is revisionism. Yes he's another body. But it's a bit like clapping for Ghezzal's return. It may disappoint.

 

[Guest Col city fan]

Surely a home banker
These are rubbish and in turmoil

We need to turn the screw and come up with a comfortable win

No excuses

It was Mothers day that forced me to leave my dear ol' little England...

As soon as they Moved Games to Sunday....Tears & Spoilt roasts would of been more than my Loving mother or I could take...!!

 

So I took Off with my napsack & Promised my mum, she would at least hear from me on Mothers day..!!

& With Danny Boy playing in the background, I tred outside  over my parents Threshold for the last time....

and just before I turned Away for the very last time, feeling my Mothers tears that Fell upon my cheek....I asked...

by the Way Mam when is your Birthday....  It was Good I had my napsack high on my back, held high on the stock...

or The vase Full of Flowers would of hit me right in the back of my head...!!!

I can remember the Rag and bone man coming round on a horse and cart. Shouting "Any old iron or rag, bone" and using a metal loud hailer shaped like a funnel. that would have been about 1959/ 60 ish. 

I'm sure I used to hear him sing: "Maybe I'm foolish, maybe I'm blind, thinking I can see through this, and see what's behind."

I might be wrong... but I'm only Human after all.

Don't put your blame on me.

Have a like for the ragman's trumpet comment. You're the first person, other than my dad, I've ever heard say that. 

🤣 Probably I'm as old as your dad?

Was truly just about to say the same! made me laugh out loud, have not heard that since the 70`s or so. Maybe someone will start a new thread  of these wonderful but obsolete nonsense  sayings from years gone by!

I've probably got quite a few but, though meant inoffensively, I sometimes have to think twice before throwing one in now days. I daren't start such a list as I don't want to risk a ban this close to the end of the season. 

[Jethrolcfc]

Great result for city with Chelsea dropping points today. A good win will tomorrow will help the table look a lot better for the final run in

[FoxOnWheels]

If we can’t get up for this tomorrow with a win putting us 5 clear of Chelsea then my god

[cruzFOX]

Brendan please tell the lads this is a MUST WIN game hopefully that will do the trick.

If ever there was a game for Vardy to wake up from his hibernation its this one. A hatrick please Sir Jamie!

Oh I have a funny feeling the hammers are gonna do a job on manu too and jump into 4th spot.

[The Guvnor]

I really hope we put Sheffield to the sword and play real attacking football.

 

Perez has stated his best position is as a number10, so with Madders out I hope Brendan gives him his opportunity to prove it and play him behind Vardy and Nacho.

...was going to mention this, when it was introduced it was unbelievable!!!

[reynard]

With Wilder going I think this will be a lot harder than we expect. Whilst points wise it isn't must win psychologically I'd say it is. With Man City and West Ham to come soon this just has to be won. I think we will need 6 more wins to get top 4 and the matches against the teams in the bottom half simply have to count towards this.

Feck Mothers day, footie comes first!

[KingsX]

**** me but you lot do need some hand-holding.

 

The KingsX Guide to HOW TO IGNORE MOTHERS DAY AND WATCH CITY ON SUNDAY

 

1.  Tell her you’re going to do something fun and interesting for Mothers Day this year, by celebrating American style.

i.e. on May 9th (yep, that’s the day after our Newcastle fixture).  Be sure to surprise her with a bucket of KFC in bed.  That always melts female hearts.

 

2.  Remind her that the woman who founded the holiday later wanted it abolished, since it had become an excuse for crass commercialism. 

https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/30659/founder-mothers-day-later-fought-have-it-abolished

  Tell her you prefer to honor her in the true spirit of the holiday, and offer to donate to the womens’ charity of her choice, in lieu of flowers and dinner.

 

3.  Tell her you are establishing a new Mothers Day tradition that will bring the family together.  Buy shirts for the entire family and give her the best chair you usually sit in.  Have snacks and drinks ready for halftime so she doesn’t even have to get up.  If there’s no match on Mothers Day next year, just rerun your favorite match from 15/16.

 

4.  Failing all else, do what you usually do and beg.
