The places themselves are "common". It's not funny at Man City because these players probably see greeters in every hotel/airport they've ever been to. Good on the guy for taking the cash though and getting more exposure, this will get him more traction than the spoons videos because of the numbers watching it. It just doesn't work as well from a comedic point of view. Let’s be honest though, if Purslow had arranged it outside Bodymoor we’d all be saying how brilliant and funny it all was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are mostly working class lads who’ve won the lottery in life. The confused looks on their faces is genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 6 minutes in, Robson is one of the better pundits about and knows his stuff. I think this is one of the first times I have heard somebody say what he actually did at Villa instead of the Souness crap of holding the ball and winning fouls. I also agree he is afraid to lose the ball 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haaland is very talented but he can only incrementally improve an already phenomenal team. Jack stats will be similar this season as last season I envision, possibly he might get even less game time then last season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different type of goalscorer / striker, proper out and out front man with good anticipation and movement, should result in city spending less time making 100 passes on the edge of the box and Grealish always looking to pass backwards Everything that was said about him at villa in terms of chance creation not resulting in assists and him needing a better striker in front of him... Well he now has as good as he will ever get in his career 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack was still high on chance creation last season. You out Haaland there to finish them and it’s a different ball game. If you can’t see how Jacks figures would improve then I think you’re just showing a bias because he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
