Hey LT...rumours are rife of a big announcement regarding the new stadium, apparently Thursday is the day. I'm looking forward to hearing what they have to say.
And, we're off.....2016/17

Good stuff. I was looking at the Echo online on Saturday and the council and Peel Developments were talking about other developments that would happen on the same site. They were talking openly about the stadium being there. Not if but when. I was quite surprised at the language being so open as though the deal was done. I hope the design keeps it atmospheric and as others have discussed the tough part is improving access around the area. How much, when will it be built? All every exciting times.

LT, I know it probably goes against the grain of fans slagging off there own, But there's a few City fans of late that have proper got on my tits.
1, watched the home game v Monaco in another part of the ground and a couple of City fans were giving these Monaco fans some serious grief and threatened to cave there skulls in. They looked terrified. Made you feel proper proud being a Manc especially after the hospitality shown to us from the fans in Monaco.
2, had a good old natter with Steve Mcmanamna on a couple of occasions in Monaco. Second time at the airport. He was the last to get on the bus to go to the plane and was getting some unwarranted crap of some City fans. He missed ours and got on the next, but the conversation went along the lines that it would of kicked off coz some wanted to give him some crap but others said it was not goin to happen.
There is a belief that city fans don't get Champions league football and I for one will go along with that.
Re stewards, totally agree.
One other thing, re the comments that Peel holdings are involved in the development of Evertons new ground. I knew they have massive land investments in Liverpool. But them Tossers sucked my company dry and were instrumental in the land being separated from Coal Mining so my pension went tits up. Twice.
If they are involved they are only in it for themselves.
Hope it works out well for you Evertonians.
Developers are ALWAYS only in it for themselves. No favours expected from Peel.
Disappointed to hear the comments about those fans but I suspect every club has some the majority would rather didn't bother coming. Football seems to attract them unfortunately.

Just having a mull over citys home form this year RE City drawing all of there six games at home. There home form is poor, very poor. Away form is excellent. But the Spuds who have an excellent home record quite frankly are atrocious away from home. Both stats have cost both clubs the chance of this years title.

Or.... United's home form have cost us the title...
Or, realistically.
You simply haven't been been good enough.....
Chelseas form has been better than most home and away. Improving yours would simply have closed the gap. And that's the case for all the teams below them.

Having an over the hill manager has cost us the chance of winning our usual fourth place...

i think the point I was trying to make but not quite well is how can city get it so right away from home and Spurs cannot and vice versa. At the other end of the table, how can Burnley be good at home yet only pick up three points at home.
Tashy, I have never understood that about football. I'd love to ask a pro why the difference exists. Why do managers and players change set up, tactics and mind set purely because you are playing at a different ground?
I notice Man Utd have let Bastian Schweinsteiger join MLS side Chicago Fire with immediate effect.

They weren't playing him, best to get his wages off the books. I don't know if they didn't give him a chance or whether his legs had gone and he was a bad buy. For Bayern and Germany however he was immense and that is how he will be viewed in football. The MLS is a nice wind up to his career and a top up to his pension.

Didn't understand this one, how he went from the heights of winning world cup in 2014 as Germany captain and very influential champions league winner in 2013/finalist in 2012 to so poor by 2015. Bayern got out at the right time I think, Van Gaal wanted a marquee siging but Bayern must have known he was finished physically so cashed in, poor from ManU. He's only 32 now, for a midfielder that's often not so old these days.
Sad he couldn't hit the heights in EPL and Mourinho didn't give him much of run for someone who was formerly so good, really think he wanted to play for ManU and be sucessful. Seems like a classy guy too. Good luck to him.

It's not always just about 'on the pitch', I bet he returned some good value in shirt sales, commercially he was possibly a good signing :mmm:

Probably right, I did see the odd kid in ManU kit with Schweinsteiger on it, even up here. It surprises me that in a professional squad of limited size you can carry a dead weight just because he was once a 'name' in order to sell shirts. Would need to be a lot of shirts for a 5m a year player wage. At £50 a shirt that'd be 100,000 shirts I think.
Beckham at Real was arguably in that mould and he was only 24 or 25 I think when he went, so the practice must work.

When Stoke played City, they had everyone behind the ball and it was a painful game. They tried hitting on the break.
Liverpool was a totally differant game. Still a draw.
Everton a draw. Totally differant.
Middlesboro, again totally differant.
The only thing in common was City never took there chances.
it all equals frustration.

Not surprised but sad as Mourinho didn't give him a chance and clearly didn't think he had a future. In fact he had been made to train away from the first team until he was forced to recall Shweinsteiger to cover injuries. I think he was a great player for Germany and Bayern and perhaps came over to the PL a season or two too late to make a real impact

Would you believe he was 32?
He's had a tough paper round.
