I used a similar ultrasound device when rehabbing my broken elbow. It got me back on the diamond two months earlier than was originally projected.

I came here to post,"I wonder why I even bother anymore", and realized that with no posts in almost three weeks, no other Citeh fans are bothering either.

I knew those 3 away goals for Monaco were gonna kill us. Joe Hart wouldn't have let in 3 goals at Etihad.

Yeah, I'm just not gonna talk about it.

Gotta focus on the FA Cup and top four now.

Three weeks without a single post in the thread.

We City fans kind of suck. (just like City against Top 6 competition! BOOM)

I think we need another title change, like "The fight for Europe 2018" or "There's always next year" or "Please, Joe Hart, Come Back!"

It's amazing, last three years, City has come out looking like world beaters, than after the first month, comes the inevitable Aguero or Kompany injury (or both). Then the team is all out of sorts. Then when they look like they have righted the ship, Yaya's agent opens his big pie hole. Kompany comes back, looks like shite. Then the new signee, who has been really living up to the hype gets a 4-6 week injury. Rinse, repeat.

Oh, and give me David DeGea or "Hand of Clod" over these two GK's any day.

Possibly "How much money will we spend this summer" or "Who will be left in August"?
That might be worth talking about.

Kind of a meh first half from Leroy and Silva. Sane turned it on though. Sane, Jesus, and Sterling are going to be a nasty combo for years to come.

So good to see Vinny back and playing like that.

Vinnie made MDM look decent. I really wanna see him and Stones in the back. Stones has quietly become a damn good CB lately.

Kits on sale on the city shop.

Picked up a home KDB and an away Sane.

Some news:

Gabriel Jesus has risen. he will travel to Wembley, likely on the bench, but Pep hasn't ruled out him starting.

UEFA announced us free of any FFP restrictions

Stones is not fit. Could return for the derby

Reported transfer targets as of now include: M'Bappe, Benjamin Mendy (both Monaco players), Bonucci (Juventus) and Corentin Tolisso (Lyon)

Looks like Pep has a blank check

Yup. Definitely a blank check.

Posted this in the Match Day thread. Will post it here too.

City have taken a big step back this season. There was really no reason to get rid of Pellegrini, IMO. Getting rid of Joe Hart was a terrible decision. Bringing in several new $30-50 million players every year does nothing for team chemistry. Sitting Yaya half the season because of his agent's mouth was dumb too. Waste of money. Waste of talent. What a shite show. Wait...is Jerry Jones managing City?

We weren't going to improve under Pellegrini. I didn't like how it was handled, but if you can snag Pep, you do it.

The squad needed a serious overhaul and I felt much more comfortable with Pep managing that than Pellers.

I can't disagree on our buys. We've had some great ones but some mediocre ones as well. That being said, we've essentially rebuilt the squad in 2 years. We've brought in a ton of talented young players and we'll start seeing that payoff extremely soon.

I won't disagree that we've underachieved, but we also don't have the team to run Pep's system yet. If he gets the midfield/defense overhaul he wants this offseason then we'll be fine.

I'm very sorry that your obsession with Joe Hart has gotten in the way of you being a City fan. Pep moved on from an above average, extremely error prone goalkeeper that showed his arse in the preseason. Maybe it's time City fans do as well.

Joe was underrated as a GK. City fandom aside, he was a damn good shot stopper. He was prone to a WTF moment every now and then, but he showed out in big matches. Pep wanted a better keeper and Bravo failed miserably. Hart is at his absolute worst better than Willy in every aspect.

I get Pep wanting to rebuild the squad. That makes sense. But swapping Hart for bravo was a massive frick up. Nostalgia and whatever aside, it didn't work. We had a keeper that was clearly top 3 in the EPL and really solid in champions league and pep pissed him away for a marginal upgrade at best. We had needs last season. GK was near the bottom.





That being said, anyone have any idea on ICC tickets?
