  1. Seems Smith just did not prepare the team for Watford. The side was clearly not ready for their counter. First game of the season, newly promoted side, away match - we should have been much more resolute at the back at the start of the match. Have expressed this before, my big worry this season is that Smith will choose our best 11 players and not our best formation. Furthermore, I really hope he does not continue to play favorites with the likes of McGinn and Cash who at times need rotating.
  2. I am not a constant El Ghazi critic like some others here, but you can clearly see the gulf in quality between him and the likes of Bailey and Traore. He should not be starting matches.
  3. Feel he set-up the team completely wrong today. Confident he'll sort it out.
  4. It's as though Smith forgot to prepare for the oppositions and their strengths.
  5. Putting the shoe on the other foot, I would not want my local team to be a satellite club for a Premier League side. For those outside of the UK, would you support a club in your locality that is part of CFG, RedBull, etc.?
  6. Commercial guide to the Premier League and clubs: https://www.sportspromedia.com/analysis/premier-league-2021-22-guide-club-sponsor-tv-rights-deals? The first step is for us to become best of the rest. Everton for example earn £7M more on their kit deal and £4M more from Cazoo than us.
  7. The advantage of keeping a player with the U23s is that they can focus on development and at their own pace. On loan, it's all about results.
  8. I sent them an Email requesting that they don't put scores in the titles of the videos.
  9. I'm trying really hard to control my excitement. What a baller!
  10. A.Ramsey looked like Zidane out there. Have to think he will go off on loan somewhere. Bogarde and Patterson impressed.
  11. The extra i is really annoying. Liked the Vegas Villa suggestion someone posted in another thread.
  12. Wes was in the photoshoot video, so guessing he will stay until at least January.
  13. Not a big deal to me. It's the man at the top that matters.
  14. I would allow for ambitious investors to put money in an escrow account to cover future players salary that exceed the FFP caps. Therefore if the investor bails or loses half their fortune, future liabilities are covered.
  15. I know it might seem very petty, but the star representing the European Cup really annoys me. I feel it is small time and it devalues our other great achievements - League titles, FA Cups, League Cups, Youth Cups. Notice that most other clubs do not put stars on their logo for their titles. The ones that do like Forest and Ipswich do so as a reminder of their past glories. Furthermore, it also does not make sense for the women's team to use that logo as the EC was an achievement of the men's side.
  16. Accor has strong links to Qatar. They received major investment from the Qatar sovereign wealth fund. BeIN is also Qatari. It's an open secret that the Qatari sponsors pay disproportionately more than all their other sponsors. What I'm trying to establish is that PSG and ManCity operate differently than other clubs. If we're looking for commercial role models the likes of Bayern and Dortmund or even Arsenal and Spurs are much better.
  17. Me too, but I think the squad realizes to keep everyone and sign the next level of players we need to be in Europe. Likes of Martinez and Konsa may leave without Europe.
  18. Most of PSG's sponsors are Qatari and are basically ordered to sponsor the club at inflated sums. Similar to Man City and Abu Dhabi.
  19. Going by Smith's "18 months away" comment and Mings' and Martinez's interviews, the players and coaches expect Europe. That's all that matters.
  20. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but did not see El Ghazi or Hourihane in the content day video.
  21. Wonder why Everton is only going for 52K capacity for their new stadium. 60K seems to be the "sweet spot" these days. Was it to do with planning permission?
  22. Wes Edens supposedly bidding for an expansion MLS team in Las Vegas.
