Yikes.
Do you really care? Honest question?
By Meier Go To PostThis is the first step, only a matter of time til City have Mangala playing RW and are grinding out 95% possession 1-0 wins.
Yikes.
Aguero will be 30 next season and given his injury history I would bet against him being able to keep up his scoring for much longer. Its a risk but one every club eventually has to face.
On Aguero, I was surprised Pep kept him around, when those interviews came out that he is always fined for being late to training.
Didn't think that would fly with Pep.

By Kidjr Go To PostDo you really care? Honest question?He is an absolute legend — I’d be gutted to lose him. But if he goes, outside the league is really all I ask so Madrid would be a good destination. And this would at least make signing Alexis much more realistic — not a clue how we’d fit all those pieces together.

Pop Idol star Darius Campbell reveals he fell into near-fatal coma after showing off charity's new water filter by drinking from the Thames right next to sewage outlet.
The reason he fell ill? He used a display bottle which didn't have the filter in it. He contacted bacterial meningitis and had severe brain swelling

By Linius Go To Post90 pounds to see Arsenal. Premier League football is expensive as fuck.The high water-mark of football don't come cheap.

By Linius Go To Post90 pounds to see Arsenal. Premier League football is expensive as fuck.
Even CL nights in Amsterdam aren't that expensive. Though I guess if we got further than the group stages for once prices will go up.
By Kidjr Go To PostI actually need someone to go with if I do go, 90 quid (face value good seats).I've been to Emirates, and even with Salahahaha visiting it, it can't be £90 quid face value.
Are you in the VIP section?
