    A few lines from the email received from Man City :

    “ However, in making that choice we failed to remind ourselves of the unbreakable link between the passion of our fans and the right to have the opportunity to earn success. It is a truth that is fundamental to the DNA of Manchester City and the Board deeply regrets taking a decision that lost sight of the historic values of the Club. We made a mistake and we sincerely apologise to our fans for the disappointment, frustration and anguish caused by the last 72 hours.” 

    What an absolute shambles 😱

    Town go two down early doors then get one back just before half-time and I think “happens we can get something here”.Three goals in six minutes early in the second half puts the kibosh on that. Fortunately other results go our way  and we’re not down yet.

    I see that Perez fella is saying the ESL isn’t dead yet and the greedy six can’t leave, something about binding contracts.

    I've been hesitating posting on here about Hull City's excellent run of late - because they always seem to fail at the last hurdle - but now they've done it and guaranteed promotion back into the Championship at their first attempt after a nail-biting win over Lincoln.

    Although he's had a lot of stick during the season, McCann has delivered - well done Tigerssmile

    Shush now, R & R surprised, There be a couple of footy fans on 'ere wot am none too chuffed at present ( !! ) and your gloating might just ruin their Sunday pre-lunch drinkies  innocent.  Thinking of that, I see Crewe Alex the Mighty, are due to visit and ruin some Bristolian team's next Saturday evening  celebrations undecided, Now that might cause some flutterings in a certain Roving Dovecote down that way smile

    ABM - I wasn’t gloating - I’ve learned too many times with Hull City, that’s a very silly thing to do. More a sense of relief that this time, they haven’t let us down 😂

    Brian - this year we are mostly not doing celebrations! - do you think your lads might just be kind enough to let one of our strikers actually score a goal  (something they haven't managed to do since Joey took over the reins. frown)

    Fair's fair, after all they'll probably get half a dozen of their own! surprised

    You would have a fair to Middleport chance, as the clay-eads say, should you get into our penalty area,  of getting a spot kick but  young Keeper is a dab hand at saving them so no guarantees Mr M !!undecided  The other way is to keep on going well into 'over-time'  as on  Saturday the equaliser came in 90+7 minutes  !!

    Me too Brian. I was bemoaning the fact that Town lulled me into a senses of false  security only to let me down with a bump.

    Commiserations to Moulsey The Gas having been relegated early 

    Town fans forum are calling for the sacking of the manager, the director of football and even the mascot 😂

    1-0 will do nicely Brian 

    Same again on Saturday will be gratefully received if Blackburn can do the business. Because I can’t see us beating Coventry

    We’re up against an old manager of the club this afternoon. Mark Robins who ‘it’s said once saved Alex Ferguson’s job. He left Town in strange circumstances. By Town played Bournemouth first match of the season at home and got stuffed 4-0 and Robins upped sticks and walked out!

    Hope he doesn’t come back to haunt us today

    I’m not gloating Brian I’m just glad to see the back of this season. Unfortunately I think it’ll be more of the same next season unless we get a good number of new players

    Not too sure if we are permitted to watch Ladies / Women sport these days, Pliers !  Was watching England v France at Rugby Union -- t'was very enjoyable . That is until the power failed & the floodlights went out.frown

     

    Now I'm left wondering if that caused some continental fishermen and/or politicians to get strange ideas about fair play undecided

    I think they'll give City some problems, not just in the final but next year in the PL. I can see them being your main rivals.

    Disaster day in South Yorkshire. Sheffield United were already relegated from PL into Championship, and after this afternoon’s games, both Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham United drop into League One.😢

    On the plus side though my Dad’s favourite team, Leeds United have survived their first PL season👍

    Sorry Brian I’ve only just read this. You are, of course, grammatically correct but it’s not Town’s style to sign new good players. 
    The current policy seems to be to sign unproven youngsters “ for the future” or oldish out of contract players a bit past their prime. We live in hope to be proved wrong but Town supporters have become battle hardened realists these past three seasons 

    Anyhoo the retained list was published this week and at least they’ve got rid of a few highly paid wasters which should free up some brass to maybe pay for a couple of new good players. We live in hope but as an old fella who sits near us is wont to say “ it’s the hope that kills you”
