Why would we accept £15m or less on someone we signed for £10m last year, has been brilliant and is on a four year deal? £40m is mental but "£15m or less" is even more mental.

We've been working with the lower "pressure" of the chase. Deep down Tonda can't be blamed for not finishing top 2 because of what came before him. Also the "harmless" pressure of the Cup - if we'd lost to Fulham or Arsenal no one would have really cared that much. The two games against Middlesbrough (probably) will be new different pressure. The pressure of "if we don't go up we're fucked". The pressure of the whole season being for nothing. Let's see if Tonda and the team can deal with it.

Why are you getting annoyed at people who think that team is a sack of shit when you know and I know that Tonda is never going to pick that side in a million years. Because it is a sack of shit. And Tonda will be trying to finish 3rd or 4th whether you like it or not.

To be honest I thought U-21 was one of those robots that was running the android marathon the other day.

Tell you what you visionary genius. Come back to us at 11:15 on Saturday when the teams are announced and let us know how close it is to this abomination you are recommendeding here: You and you alone identified Tonda as a good manager so no doubt you'll be bang on correct here and we'll all bow to your fucking foresight. Tick tock.

I would rest Jander for the play off final myself. Because if he does his ACL at Wembley he would not be available for the Premier League opening fixtures.

What if he’s rested and drops a jar of salad cream on his foot?

I watch John Oliver most weeks, i like him. I just wish he was funnier more often rather than 15 full minutes on the judiciary system in Ohio or some other thing. When he was on The Bugle podcast he was consistently brilliant. He could just do more jokes in my opinion.

Honestly insane. Any manager or player would want the second leg (plus potential extra time and penalties) to be at their home ground. Tonda included. He wont be saying anything like your made up quote unless we fail and we're fifth and we have to get on with it. Absolutely not "some fan thing".

The final will absolutely not kick off at 12:30pm. More like 3 or 4

Try and finish fourth then.

If they score they are in the Prem. We aren’t going to be throwing anything at them, just clinging on.

We are knackered.

Balls.

I saw that coming

Can’t see any other result than us over committing and getting done.

I think we’re too tired to turn this round.

Balls.

Brilliant Jander.

We gave ourselves too much to do with our shitness in the first half of the season. Winning all of our last ten league games in a row was too much to do, we were never going to do it and we didn't do it.

Probably better to have extra time and pens in our stadium not theirs.

A pay off not a big pay off. Tonda's contract won't be that valuable.

Shearer has always been nice about us, his missus is from Southampton for a start.

Bizarrely there are people on this forum cheering City on to win the league again. Fucking insane.

Hey lads, little tip for anyone playing Man City in the future - try and stop that Haaland scoring.
