That is such a shame. Heart breaking for them. 2-1 loss away to Man City in the first leg though!

 

I'm sure to have been level at 1-1 with a minute to play was fun enough for the 7,680 Brizzle fans.
Not the rout they perhaps expected, and numerous pundits suggested
Second leg still not a 'dead rubber' in the scoreline sense - though I seem to recall away goals don't mean much in this compo?

 

Stupid comment from James Nursery - who is put firmly in his place by Dan O'Hagan


James Nursey‏

Football Assoc will adopt a 'Rooney Rule' for all England jobs http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/fa-chief-wants-clubs-follow-11825644… Good . Chris Hughton should be on the next short-list IMO. Outstanding at Brighton & #BCFC while his old club #NCFC continue to go backwards since dire call to axe him

 

Either a spellcheck problem or a new journalist

Just seen your edit

 

I've always read it as Nursery!! OOOOOOOOPS!!
Best I attend this - I can get an autograph as well as my new bifocals what work proper

The Derby match at Carrow road will have an added award on offer for worst looking shirt sponsorship design

Francis Coquelin. Arsenal to Valencia. 12M.

Outrageous Business by Arsenal! He's never looked good. A red card per match waiting to happen. Just seems like a thug. 12 Million?! I always thought he'd just leave arsenal on a free.

 

Oh my god! This would be massive!! Imagine the reaction across the other side of the City!! Come from nowhere, but now I've read it, of course!! They have to go for this! Would be such a slap in the face to Wenger and Pep in one swoop!

What a journey!
Best you get down there Canary Dave and give them a round of !

 

What? With the Canaries just up the road at Ashton Gate?

 

Sorry, didn't realise you'd be at that. Enjoy

 

Just watched Cardiff thrash Sunderland 4-0..
Wildschet comes on and plays a blinder,laying on a goal for Pilkington.
2 players not deemed good enough for us???
Also Sunderland just offloaded Vaughan and Grabben
2 other players not deemed good enough for us ???
Makes you think ???

 

I liked Wildschut and was surprised to see him loaned to a rival. Pilkington wanted a move if I remember correctly.
Bournemouth offered us serious wedge for Grabban and I always thought he was a yellow card waiting to happen and Vaughan never really impressed IMO.

 

Agree,but WHY cant we get the best out of players.
Surman is another we let go too early

 

Vaughan had chances galore to prove he was good enough - and he wasn't.
I'm not so sure Wildschut had those same chances - under AN or certainly DF.

 

When Wildschut was playing in the matches I've been to, he would come down the wing and there was rarely any NCFC player waiting in the box.
Edit - Sunderland's defence is even MORE porous than ours - I wonder if they'll get the same freedom in their televised game next week against the Owls???

 

Kane running riot again! That man is mental good!

 

Kane is now Tottenham's highest scorer in Premier League history with 98 goals.

We really are lucky to be alive when so many records have been broken by such amazing players!

 

The Liverpool Vs City game is the game we were all hoping and expecting it would be!! What a fantastic game!!
