Hobbit Feet

I just unfollowed him on Instagram, that will learn him

I don’t see how people can be getting so bitter. Yes if he leaves it will be disappointing but what he’s done for us shouldn’t be underestimated, he literally pretty much single handedly dragged us up from the championship and then cemented us back in the premier league. Where would we actually be without him or if he left when we got relegated? What did Delph do? Help fight relegation for a little bit? Milner never really felt like he was with us for the long term. Barry was at the age he needed to leave. Give the guy a break he’s probably facing the hardest decision of his life. If you got offered a massive pay rise at work at th company you felt loyal too and had started at or the opportunity to work for another company that been producing better results for years and probably even more more money it would be a hard decision for you? It’s no different these people are still human

He really didn’t like being on the bench in the euro final either was at the game and he was just warming up staring at Southgate, then decided to sit down for 10 minutes and then Southgate brought him with no warm up was weird

Your logic is right but it’s still not if that makes sense

Me too

Sounds like a terrible the clash remix

No we wouldn’t. I’d be selling it to the owners look I can get 5 really good players for the price a club is willing to play for our best player, keep him and we’ll have a £400 million plus squad easily able to compete with the top 6/4. I’d sell it too Jack look how much were investing give it one more year and you will see results, we are now where city were 10 years ago. Stay with us and make us where city are now over your career and become a hero and legend of the club you love.

That’s no defence it’s disgusting.

Yeah definitely thought about it. On top of that I think the way Jack plays it’s only a matter of time before he picks up a serious injury with all the fouls he receives.

I agree with everything you said. I’m preparing myself for the prospect of him leaving but I still don’t think he will. I was at Wembley for the euros final. He was warming up and literally staring at Southgate as if to say ‘bring me on you fool’, I really think that would of given him a sense of what it will be like at a team like city when you play maybe every other game. He loves to play football it’s clear to see, he will also have to keep his nose a lot cleaner than he does at villa. It’s going to be interesting what he decides because I’m sure he holds all the power.

Don’t let it engulf your weekend people. Nothing we can do or say will change the outcome. Let’s face it he could of left years ago. Would we back where we are without him? Probably not. Would it be great if he stays? Yes. Would £100 million improve us? Possibly. Their is so many variables it’s not worth spending too much time thinking about it. It is what it will be. UTV

Disappointed for Mings. Southgate has his favourites and it’s embarrassing really that form and consistency counts for nothing.

Official on England Instagram he start as does Saka. Mings unfairly dropped IMO

Potentially if that what Dean wants and has sold to the board. Nothing surprises me anymore. I’m still in the mindset like most villa fans of accepting nothing until it’s sealed, i remember wasting days of my life hoping we’d sign wes hoolahan so I try not to put so much time and thought into things anymore. But it certainly seems we are operating how we envied all those other teams years ago. It’s positive.

No they don’t.

Think there would be uproar, every non villa fan I’ve spoken too says he should be in the squad and even start as he brings something different.

Woke up with late missed most the match, gutted I didn’t miss all of it. Embarrassing result and performance from what I’ve seen. Just saw a stat that Palace have not won from losing at half time for 3 years and 36 games, sums us up beautifully.

I like Smith, I really do. He’s done lots for us but I’m just not sure if he’s going to take us to the next level. My heart says let him stay beyond the summer but my head says we need to get someone else in.

Few players seemed to slip up tonight the surface must of been watered and greasy. At home we should be able to control this and prepare the correct footwear at least

Let’s go mental

Targett been the best player. Why Ollie didn’t try and lob Johnson he was so far off his line

Would make more sense they only ever line up with one up front sometimes none.

Are you serious? We hit the woodwork at 1-1 against Liverpool and they scored the winner in the 94th minute. Spurs we were flat but they got a penalty that was dubious. We are definitely able to get results against the so called scummy six this year. We’ve comfortably beating Liverpool, Arsenal x2 drawn with Chelsea. We haven’t been embarrassed in any game. Smith needs credit for stopping the rot against these teams when we used to roll over and was a guaranteed loss.

Yeah another factor. Shame about Jack, but is he definitely ruled out? They have KDB definitely out. Which is a good thing for us but still plenty of quality, they do like to rotate lots which is a nightmare for my fantasy football team. Hope smith can come up with some kinda tactical plan for this one.

Not so sure. Maybe as good time as ever time to play them this season, losing to Leeds and in the FA cup and now this whole super league distraction plus them maybe slightly looking over their shoulders with Man U creeping up. Could snatch a point. Or a win. No other season I’ve felt more comfortable with us playing the ‘big greedy 6’ this season than most of the other seasons in my 35 year old history.
