Maldini playing in a blindfold.

You mean at Ewood Park ? Good idea.

Barney Ronay has a good article on the City fiasco in my paper today.

That’s my hope has well. If they can no longer finance the club it’s game over.

Evie Sands - Take Me For A Little While

That Maguire- Shaw/Trippier flank is where teams will have some joy against us.

Foden reminds me of Carney when he was here. Excellent out wide but nowhere near as effective when he was given the responsibility of being the playmaker in the midfield. Doing it for City is one thing, doing it at international level is another issue altogether.

Gallagher is just a better Robbie Savage.

Hill was a good loan signing.

Let’s hope so.

Really, I’ve got a good optician, maybe I should send Southgate his phone number. Phillips is just a grafter who runs around a bit. Wharton makes the ball do the work.

Robert Knight - Everlasting Love

We can’t afford to get this one wrong. Gally is injury prone, Leonard missed most of last season injured. We can’t risk another Ennis type signing.

Possibly, that’s what I’d do, but who knows with Southgate ?

Reading between the lines it sounds like he could well be going to the Euros. We’ve no other player that can play exactly that role. Only Southgate’s innate conservatism stands in his way.

Brenda Holloway - Every Little Bit Hurts

Every pass right where the other player wanted it, with at just the right amount of pace on it.

I agree with you about Gallagher, he’s a grafter but he’s not a game changer.

M’learned friends will be rubbing their hands.

Southgate thinking - “ Well, that’s one problem solved “.

I don’t normally have it on but since they announced it was coming from Blackburn I had a listen.

James Gilreath - Little Band Of Gold

Nah, they gave us what they thought they could get away with. And they were right !

That’s the one thing can count on with the Chicken Chokers, their unfailing ability to make a bad situation worse.

Didn’t I read somewhere that every Premier league club had made enquiries about him at some time apart from the dingles ? Even the dogs in the street could see he was going to be a special player.
