Going down with cramp at 90mins

same with McAtee, can’t see a place for him at city . Decent player though
There was a good read up a few days back about how different clubs have approached England U 21’s. Chelsea and Dortmund pulled Delap and Bellingham out to get them experience at the club World Cup. But City and Liverpool left McAtee and Elliot in the squad. One of the reasons was seeing if there value could increase. McAtee would be fantastic alongside MGW at Forest.

Definitely sounds like you guys are increasing their book value where as Chelsea and Dortmund are using this as a pre season

The money in the club world cup is ridiculous it seems to be covering a lot of your summer spending lol

Delap and Bellingham have just moved to their new clubs so both are them are being used as a pre season

McAtee was never going to be in the City squad for the comp and Elliott hadn’t played much this season and Liverpool aren’t in the comp

McAtee needs to sort out his end product - it’s poor , either the final ball or when he has the chance himself
 
The PSG/Miami match is on

Not sure if it’s the same for everyone but the commentators sound really tinny and distance with lots of echo ?


This will be a walkover - poor marking for the goal


Suarez can hardly move - with the state of his knees and ankle he really should have retried
 

Marc White, chairman and manager of Dorking Wanderers, has been given a six match touchline ban by the FA for “sexist” remarks made on a podcast.

When talking about women officials he said “You have to pay a bit more respect….help them park.”

Six games.

Have we lost the ability to make and enjoy jokes now?!

Sorry but it's not even remotely funny....nothing to enjoy other than the embarrassment of a witless Neanderthal.

It seems that White has a previous (long) history of getting bans, including for abuse of match officials.

Bloke needs to have dinner with Joey Barton if he wants to be appreciated.

He has history I believe

it is a sexist joke at the end of the day

And many laugh it off as “banter”

Looks like he’s been enjoying his retirement early,maybe too many 🍔
 
It's a gag from the 80's. It's 2025........
I’m not saying it’s right & he’d probably have been better saving that one for his mates.
But in reality that joke is SO tame.
If you go on any building sites I work on,that joke would have got hammered for being 💩,not offensive.

I suppose you’ve got to know your audience.

I didn’t think it was that funny.

But a six match touchline ban?

Ridiculous IMO.

I doubt he even meant it to be a “laugh out loud at this” kind of joke. Just a throwaway comment.

The world has / is changing and you adapt or accept the punishment. I agree it's fairly tame but that isn't the point, it's the fact that he made the gag at all on a platform that was going to be heard by anyone. A private chat with him and his dinosaur mates, he can say what he likes, no one else hears it. Put it out there for everyone to hear.......... tough.

God help this forum if they heard the “banter” where I work.
It’s the real world in a lot of working class areas.
Go up to the offices & it’s totally different.
But that is the reality.

A lot of stuff now gets passed away as banter etc etc - whilst tame it’s poor stereotyping

I'm sure everyone on this forum has heard the 'banter' you are talking about before, people won't have been immune from it, particularly if you are over a certain age. We don't live in bubbles. Most workplaces have sifted it out though and any that haven't are leaving themselves open to legal action, their choice 🤷.
