  1. I think it's more common to find left footed players that are ambidextrous (therefore can play on the right) than vice versa. On a tangent, who has been the last out-and-out RW for City, as opposed to the various #8 / £9 / #10 that have been put there to "do a job" for the team?
  2. Onel, his attitude is great but simply lacks end product consistently. Giani is good in attack but poor defense. I'll also add Nunez to the overrated list even though he's still adapting. Underrated, Kenny.
  3. When it comes to SW he should've known better than to say such things on an official interview while being a representative for the club. It is barely relevant to compare women's football with men's football, whether it's true or not that there is a gulf in quality is beside the point (considering the ****show of the NCFC senior men's team last season, maybe the women would do better with the same resources...). It's very true that women's football lags men's, only natural considering that for decades they were not allowed to play. What they need is encouragement and constructive criticism, same as you'd give to the under-15 boys (hell, any ages and any players m/f tbh) who do their best to represent the club well. But no one is obliged to do that. *Speaking of which, well done Adam Idah for scoring his 1st international goal after a really difficult season with lots of criticism, sometimes unfair, sometimes noxious, aimed at him.* Now there will always be fans who feel they need to, for G-d knows what reason, voice their disapproval of a women's team they don't follow. They can comment on the "divorcees in the snake pit" if they so choose. But the Sporting Director is not such a person, he is constrained by his role. IMO those comments reflect far more on themselves than on women's football. Freedom of speech, but sometimes silence is golden. Me personally if I can't find anything encouraging to say, or if I don't follow their football, prefer to stay in my lane. Tl;Dr- no time or space for hate in my mind. Better to focus on the things I enjoy.
  4. Is this the "Norwich City" on PES?
  5. Maybe he jumped before being pushed. Don't think the board was too happy with how he conducted the recent interviews. Obviously Leeds was a factor in Stew resigning but I think the writing was on the wall to some extent since he replaced Farke for Dean Smith.
  6. Good news IF the club have lined up a suitable replacement. His Stew was stinking the place up.
  7. Duffy is official Now get us an "Alex Tettey" honest-to-God CDM
  8. I bloody hope not... His move to Fulham was made permanent earlier this year, only to be loaned out again now is dodgy to say the least. What Fulham fans saying about him?
  9. What's that bloody sa ..oh, I got it. One man's trash is another man's treasure?
  10. Is Tielemans out of contract soon? Not that he could command higher fees than Maddison but there won't be a shortage of clubs willing to sign him.
  11. His comments reflect badly on the club - he's part of the PR machinery. I know his main role is to direct all aspects of football at NCFC but a "family friendly" club can't be doing with comments from a bloke who talks as if he is half-tanked at the local boozer and spoiling for a scrap. Someone from the board (not the missus) needs to give him a telling off.
  12. Sometimes, just sometimes, it's better to keep your opinions to yourself, Stew. Does his role in NCFC involve or affect the women's football? If it does then it's not good at all.
  13. Yeah, pick a team from L1 and swap for a bunch of money... this could catch on.
  14. Looks better than the weird colourwashed one. But yeah, I don't see the roses connection. Didn't like our old Mitre kit 92-94 either.
  15. You're having a laugh 😂 this man will soon break the record for most substitutions at half time if he stays. I guess he can be a starter as a SG (scapegoat)..
  16. + LW +RW +LB +RB LW- Only winger remotely capable in current squad is Onel, Wagner needs someone who can take the mantle from him RB- Air'Rons likely to leave, Mumba has a chance to take the spot, need serious competition though LB- Giann not up to scratch, McCallum inconsistent RW- not Sargent FFS, Tzolis has shown little so far, Nunez is more of an 8 or 10.. (then who??)
  17. Oh my giddy aunt, I was not expecting this. Does Todd have high up connections in the media or something? Totally derailed a match report into a dissertation over his talent and career.
  18. Every coach deserves a preseason and the chance to shape a squad. Smith had that.
  19. You do you, Pickle, you do you. I'm not really the fawning type either, pedestals are for statues. Having said that, I'll sooner fawn over humble Pukki than over some diva like CR7..
  20. Are you comparing Teemu with everyone else in that squad? Were we wrong to fawn over Emi?Nurse! I'll never tell loyal NCFC supporters - the ones who actually go to home and away games - how they should express themselves towards the club / players, within reason of course - abuse is not ok. They are entitled to boo, shout, whistle, sarcastically applaud, and by the same token, cheer and fawn as they see fit. You saying "the fawning is over the top" says a lot more about you than it does about them.
  21. I'm sure we'll get the next BillyG on loan.. but we could do with a player like Broja. Chelsea's triger happy + scattergun player recruitment style always leads to loans. Would you mind a Drinkwater at City?
  22. For me it was Jimmy White. Same generation, flair, and bit less aggro than Alex Higgins. After watching that match against Kirk Stevens (where he made a maximum)1st time, I went straight to sportsdirect, bought a Jimmy White cue and practised (I mean, failed, embarrassingly, but tried hard for months lol, I was like, HOW??) his most ridiculous shots until the tip was completely destroyed. Good times.
