Just reading that Walker wants to explore his options abroad.
Many thanks for your time but cheerio. If there’s one player that rankles me at City it’s him. Been a good player for us but his off field antics are shocking. Be nice if we get a sum for him but his legs are going.
He is off to Saudi for the money to pay for his divorce.

He'll fit right in there. No respect for women. At least he won't be the huge hypocrite Henderson was though.

As you say. Legs gone and without those he becomes a liability. He was so good last season but has fallen from grace both on and off the field since.

I mentioned about him
A couple of weeks ago smashed out of his skull in Sheffield. He has a lot going off in his head off field. His off field demeanour is not a fantastic example to set for a senior player. I can see him having a year or two in Saudi and ending up at Sheff Utd.
Best of luck to him.

So it’s better to be known as a liar and a cheat rather than a hypocrite! OK. 😂😂
 
Tamworth v Spurs has been a good watch. From the build up to half time... Tamworth player can chuck a throw in 40m....bit of a lethal weapon causing all kinds of mayhem in spurs box..

Reading on the bbc yesterday how it was disgusting for the bbc to show a “One sided” game between City v Salford. Yet the Tamworth v spurs game is now great coz there’s chance of an upset. Sometimes you just cannot win 😖

No respect for women comment made me chuckle, it’s not as if the owners of your club have a good track record regarding the treatment of women.

Unfortunately the stigma attached to the owners of City from The UAE is sometimes confused with that part of the Arab world.
However
Throughout the UAE’s history, women have been equal partners in the building of the nation, and have made significant contributions in social, economic and political spheres – with women’s empowerment deeply rooted in Emirati culture and society.
Equal rights for men and women are codified by the UAE Constitution, which guarantees equality before the law in terms of property rights, access to education, health, inheritance, and employment rights. This approach is anchored in the vision of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the first President of the UAE, who was committed to advancing gender parity.
As a result of these protections and progressive policies, the UAE consistently ranks highly across international indices related to women’s rights.
The UAE ranked seventh globally and first regionally in the UNDP Gender Inequality Index 2024.
The World Bank scored the UAE’s record on women’s rights 82.5 out of 100 in 2023 – far higher than the regional average (53.2).
In 2021, the UAE was ranked first in the Women, Peace and Security Index for women’s safety. Etc etc

You quote some good points some might say most of it is window dressing not unlike sportswashing.

Bottom line is women have always been treated unfairly in that region and I can’t see it changing
UAE might be more progressive than others but there’s still plenty about their culture and law that in our country wouldn’t be tolerated.

Lovely that Tash, all from the heart, so that’s your owners being all cuddly, now would like to condemn Walker for his treatment of women or is that covered under the banner of “off field antics” all while wishing him luck in the future.🙄
 
Went to the Leeds v Town match yesterday. Tremendous first half defensive fight by Town and a good attacking second half against a significantly more skilful side. Leeds had 6 or 7 internationals at KO and 2 or 3 more as subs later. Of course the money available makes the difference
Weaver just needs a good goal scorer. Either a tall "centre forward" or a tricky no 10.
Unfortunate lack of concentration by a defender cost them the only goal.
