yeah not sure its actually a net spend of "nowt", might be for one window for the tfr fee but lets not just write off the billion that went before oh and lets also not ignore the backhanders father and agent want or the 25m+ a year wages. Assume were ignoring the £20m you paid to Torres and his wages too

???? a city fan talking about net spend of zero ???

Think Guardiola has spent just under £900mil since he arrived and has a net spend of just over £600mil

Maybe that’s why he was crying poverty in the summer and saying they won’t spend £100mil on players - as they then spent £100mil on Grealish ???

McAllister lol, that may be the first 6.0 ive given this season

lol Tashy, big big difference is you dont set up to have one, Chelseas plans are integral to having one, they spent £100m on getting one, you spent £100m on a 19th midfielder

Drogba, Costa, Giroud; yeah, it's not like Chelsea would set up round a big house of a striker, is it?

With all the goals today felt like a proper old school Boxing Day list from the 70's

Why oh why can VAR not address these, even retrospectively? If it gives much worse I might give up before I get to my half price season ticket.

Was never going to be the out & out striker, bought to play out wide as he does for Germany.

On a yellow card offence though so they can’t look it at unless it’s part of the build up to a goal

charge him for bringing the game into disrepute and set a proper precedent

To think in my lifetime it's gone from the 1970 FA Cup Final to this

That was possibly too far the other way, but rather that than some of today's antics.

More chance of Tottenham winning the league.

Would have been abandoned after 15 minutes. Too few players left. A world away from the pampered drama queens of today. Every side had their enforcer and if you got kicked you simply got up and kicked him harder. Unless you broke a leg it was unlikely to be a sending off

poor poor McAllister been shot again i see............

Yeah I was gonna type a good bit more but missis T has just pulled out a bought Christmas game, “ will you make history”. I would imagine someone has nipped down to the post office for a few brown envelopes.

1963 was a brilliant year, Baby Tash arrived ??

was reading a piece the other day which opened my eyes on the Manc evening news. With the sale of Torres to Barca and the selling of some of the academy players who are out on loan in europe. City could pay for Haaland for a net spend of nowt

City fans talking of nett. spend, wow.
