ARSENAL SAY PLAYERS ALLEGEDLY INVOLVED IN INHALING NITROUS OXIDE AT A NIGHTCLUB IN AUGUST WILL BE "REMINDED OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES"

 

Same ethnicity, same language. Germany didn't exist as an entity until the mid 19C.

 

they should be fined 2 weeks wages (max possible fine) and dropped to u23s for a month min.

I would be writing these things into contracts frankly. Its behaviour unbecoming to be out seeking "not illegal" high when you are paid that much.

 

Nice euphemism.

So, what you're saying is, Germans are actual Austrians...

 

In a sense yes. They are/were known as Germanic peoples, but the Austrian Empire dominated for a long time. It's only when Prussia moved to create a German confederacy under its own hegemony that the idea of a state of Germany took form.

God forbid, but I hope Chelsea can pull something out today.

 

I hope they bury it balls deep in city and fill those ****ers right up.

 

I'd love to see city get battered. Show everyone they are not the be all and end all.

Just hoping Chelsea go at them, give them a proper test.

 

If you sit back they win... and get and aclean sheet.

If you attack I bet any side can get a goal off them, it's just how many you let in doing it.

I don't really think they are that good at back.... bug then neither were barca were thry? If you give them 70% of ball you really won't score many.

 

For me the most likely way for that to happen (to an outfield player ) is the deliberate "tipping" of players in the air which frankly seems to be perfectly acceptable to most refs in fact they often give the freekick to the "tipper" .
I personally am amazed it hasn't already happened .
Mind you the vagaries of what incidents cause spinal cord damage are beyond explanation.

 

This is the crack. So many teams just set up so deep, it turns into a game of attack v defence.

Any time they have been pushed this year and last, they have wobbled. They will give a goal away if you attack them and they are not as good going forward if they are running back.

Sit deep you will get a hiding, go at them you might get something. Surely it's worth the gamble

 

Stop Silva imo....

Forget sterling, show show him wide.

Silva is everything to city.

 

yep Wolves in the early part of the season had them badly worried but most just seem happy to keep the score "reasonable"

 

Utd have set off in reverse gear as per

 

The turds 1-0 up at the turd bowl

 

This is something I don't understand, how many managers watch city and look at the opposition and see them get battered, and think, we will try the same as them, but try to defend better.

Even Watford worried them last match and they where ****e, but city didn't know how to cope with a side who just continued to attack, not just kick it away and retreat.

 

Yes Silva makes them tick. If I was managing a lower prem team, I'd have some one stood next to him for 90 minutes.
