We wouldn't do it immediately but it's not that ridiculous a statement. Demand already outstrips supply for most games and our fan-base is growing quickly.

We get £1.8m of that £12m, so thanks Liverpool.

The Times are reporting that Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is in talks with Arsenal but wants a 3-year, £100k p/w contract to sign for them.

Fill it presumably. We've been selling out a 47k stadium for a few years now; seems unlikely our attendances are going to decrease any time soon.

Exactly.

I'm assuming there would be price drop for the standing areas but I'm not trying not to get my hopes up.

Also, it could be BS but, apparently City have approached the FA with an offer to trail Safe Standing.

Yeah, I did. They unveiled the plans with fairly comprehensive survey about the expansion and subsequent pricing. Bit depressing but somewhat inevitable. Still if they convert the South Stand or North Stand to Safe Standing and bring the prices down in accordance, that would soften the blow.

I'd also expect to see the stadium expanded further a few years down the line after this expansion happens. The owner's seem to have massive plans for the area around the stadium.

Toying with the idea of writing a joke book called "How to fight a horse". Thoughts?

+1.

I can't see their Russian owner being too impressed by one win by Christmas. I know McDermott got them up but sometimes you have to be ruthless.

4-2 now, as I type. Can it happen??

It's a fair point but they're not shit because of McDermott. They're shit because they're players aren't very good.

Mark Halsey's a shite referee.

Fuck knows how a slap and an elbow don't count as violent conduct.

Credit to Moyes for criticising him mind.

No. Even if Vinny's on it, I refuse to watch anything that has James Corden and Jamie Redknapp on at the same time.

He's won an award in Belgium for 'telling it like it is'.

The Manchester City skipper has been honoured by Belgium’s equivalent of the Plain English Campaign — who dubbed the 26-year-old a “breath of fresh air” compared to most cliche-spouting footballers.

Organisers Wablieft said: “We have chosen a winner with balls. Fans of plain speaking don’t relish the world of sport.

“But the Manchester City and Belgium captain has his finger on the pulse of current events.

“His pithy tweets excel in clarity.”

Apparently, in the small text, they were allowed to ignore those rules if the judges unanimously agreed on it. Still a cop-out to give it to Team GB, though.
