Long termer at the club (might have been here at the very start, if I'm not mistaken ) - originally on the Sports Science side of things, now on the coaching side.

Natel has absolutely no business carrying on like this when he just spends the majority of the game offside stopping every opportunity.

There is no reason for Natel to be on the pitch when there's any other player available. Good lord.

I think there's a misunderstanding here, Arslans hearing will not be to determine if he's guilty or not, it'll be to determine the severity of the punishment, City aren't appealing the initial ban.

Jesus given the state of the verbal abuse you can actively hear that goes unpunished towards referees you'd have to think he's given him both barrels and then some.

Shouldn't even update it JW - just creating more work for yourself as it always means another signing.

Will be interesting to see if stump-on-legs Politidis gets a run at the left back spot as he's looked pretty tidy in (very) limited gametime so far.

That's the number being reported, yes.

$2 million dollars is what we got for Bos - absolutely wild that kind of money is being thrown around for a loan for 16 games.

If your wife went back to France and took the kid with her I can entirely understand why football might not be your focus. Hopefully it all works out for them.

Mazzeo can absolutely fuck off with these back heel flick things. You're much better than that pal.

Supremely cool he got back there - the only time I ever spoke to him he mentioned being a youth team player there and how much he enjoyed it.

Yep, exactly. Some massive bans in there.

So Leonardo, Jungsheng and Yu all suspended as of this morning. We should do fine here.

To be fair we've had about 4-5 of the semi-regulars we end up with not coming back at all off the back of it either.
