EPL 2022 / 2023

Yes, Rice will be the no.1 target. He can then stay in London.

Tierney might be heading the other way as Newcastle is keen.

@Cyclops in I think he would be a good signing. Whether they can sign them or not, it's another story. My wish list is Camavinga but a pipe dream.

Erling Haaland scores goals. Up to 40 for the season now, and still a ton of games to go. Sets the City record, but even further to go to the overall record, which is 73 (Messi).

Is this finally the year that City get a champions league title?

Patrick Vieria sacked as Crystal Palace boss.

10 EPL sides, half the league, have changed their manager since the end of last season.

Haaland in the goals again. A brace so far against Burnley in the FA Cup Quarter Final. 40 goals this season.

Haaland with another hat-trick.

Fulham 1-0 up on United and in control - handball on the line and red card for Willian, red for Mitrovic in the aftermath and red for Marco Silva for good measure. Out of the cup and could be season over for stupidity.

@KiwiPie

Haven't seen the cards incident, but until then it seems Fulham were in control.

Stupid wqy to piss away a season.

We had n 'easy' run of games coming up with a chance to get back in the race for Europe which is now shot.

PL safety and a FA Cup QF any Fulham fan would have taken that back in the summer but could have been even better.

Next transfer season is critical. Our shallow depth has been exposed recently Plus it seems the big sharks are circling our squad.

FA Cup Semis

Manchester City v Sheffield United
Brighton v Manchester United

First ever Mancunian FA Cup final?

@KiwiPie Probably, although Brighton might well trip up Manure.

lol at Conte trying to get himself sacked rather than resign and miss a chunk of money

it's a pretty spectacular rant.

Problem for Spurs is, was he actually wrong?

A lot of it was right on the nose. But he is part of the problem right now. He's lost the dressing room.

There seems to be no set plan in terms of buying and selling players. We need central defenders so we buy attacking midfielders? Bewildering, I think it suggests Daniel Levy is still having too much to say about that

@KiwiPie
Seen it now. All three reds to Fulham were warranted

Silva would be an even better Manager if he reined in the histrionics

Yes Fulham has a history with this ref. He had a shocker when we lost at West Ham and I reckon we should have had a pen in the first half at Old Trafford but those are no excuses for what happened

Instead of calming things down Silva ignited everything. A 10 man Fulham at 1-1 could still have gone through. Instead Silva basically egged on Mitros sense of injustice

How long might we lose him for? Months?

Good job we are clear of relegation dogfight as our season has been screwed by 90 seconds of madness

@dogmeat That reaction must have been fueled by previous incidents as the Willian incident was pretty clear cut once it hits his arm. Smart play by Sancho for dithering as the goal was still scored plus a bonus 2 man advantage. As you say, Silva should have been calming his team down.

Well Bournemouth need all the luck they can get, so having some players missing for that match due to suspension suits me

Yes and you're well clear

In news that will shock nobody, Conte has left Spurs by mutual agreement.

That took a week longer than expected - he was probably making sure he got a massive pay-off before agreeing. So that's 10/20 clubs have a different manager from the start of the season and Moyes & Rogers are barely hanging on.

Meanwhile in the only league that matters, Notts are 2nd favourites to gain automatic promotion.

But they are guaranteed to be in the top 2, it is ludicrous that they may have to go into the play-offs with teams 30 points behind them. Langstaff has 39 goals for Notts, no penalties.

Potter and Rogers sacked.

Neither a large surprise.
