Honest, hardworking competitors...and Man Citeh - OTT 43 [R]

FWIW, Burnley has proved a fertile recruiting and electoral ground for the British National Party and the National Front in the last 40 years or so. Race riots too.

 

The net starts to close.

 

A company called Air Ads has confirmed they flew the banner over Etihad Stadium last night.

A person who worked for the company said as long as banners were legal and didn’t use coarse language, they couldn’t take sides. He explained how they had already done a Black Lives Matter banner, and had ran banners for leave, remain and both sides of Scottish independence.

He wasn’t willing to confirm details of who booked it, or how much it cost, but claimed that police had been informed of the banner and they had not heard back from them.

 

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has just spoken to the media and, after watching Manchester City win on Monday, he was asked about Pep Guardiola's side being able to catch the Reds at the top of the Premier League.

Klopp said: “The only thing I realised from watching the game last night was how is it possible any team is 20 points ahead of that team? We must have done something right.”

 

The Floyd matter is especially egregious. It was a murder. The only caveat is that Floyd did not cooperate fully with the police as one video clearly shows. But that did not warrant the police officer's knee on Floyd's neck.

 

Yes. If they wanted to be champions, that's what they needed to do. We played well for most of the season but had been disappointing prior to the shutdown. Even some of the games we won, we were not convincing. We should have scored three goals against Everton not 3 shots.

 

The Everton match was never going to be easy . We've had loads of draws there in recent seasons and Ancelotti is no dope . He knows how to organize a team .

Keep the faith , lads . There's a reason we're so many points clear at the top .

 

It was a long wait for that game and I thought with the rest, 5 subs and no crowd we would win by 4-1. I'm worried that we lost our mojo. We'll see on Wednesday.

 

A common thread in all the restart games I've seen so far is players snatching at scoring chances. Like in Spurs-WHam right now, both sides have screwed up good chances, blazing them wide. Kinda like Taki did early in Sunday's game.

 

As I typed that both Kane and some WH guys both screwed up clean chances.

 

He'll claim it as a goal anyway.

 

Kane to claim the goal that came off Thomas Soucek was a nutmeg as Spurs go up 1-0

 

You guys are having such a great conversation and making great points.

This isn't the thread for thisdiscussion, but I really cherish this corner of the internet of ours and that we've all known eachother for so long that we can have respectful point/counter on stuff like this.

 

behind the scenes. Arsenal are in chaos and Arteta is probably screwed.

BTW I'm not sure why I typed "behind the scenes"

 

I think Arsenal and Everton are in a similar situation squad wise. Both have a smattering of good players but also carrying too many past their best aging players. Both need extensive retooling to get anywhere close to challenging for top four . Neither club will likely qualify for Europe so both will need to be very resourceful in the market .
We we there not so long ago so we know how important it is to have a strong club infrastructure right down from the owners to coaching and scouting.

 

You obviously weren't looking at the NSR thread a couple weeks ago..

 

A couple of weeks ago? How about pretty much every day... A lot of lock-down / no football frustration on display.

 

Yeah, Solanke isn’t the first u20 Star to underachieve when they get picked up by a top team. Williams impressed me yesterday, keep an eye on him.

 

I see ManCity are wearing their infamous popsicle kit...
