I suspect Vincent Kompany is better placed than anyone on this board or anyone who anyone in this board knows to know about his time at City.

Suspect away. He's certainly better placed than me, not sure I claimed otherwise.

I don't doubt it. Although one might question why he's "leaving" for Burnley at the peak of MCFC's success after such a long time.

MancunianClaret

Not heard good things about his time at MCFC. Don't want to say more than that!

I really think we need to go back to having individual threads to discuss players we’re linked with. Keep the thread that only contains links but get rid of this discussion thread. It attracts the trolls like no other thread and there’s a host of posters ready to bite. I think this is a good idea. ...

That's the attitude!

Not sure my attitude will have any influence on matters mate. Wish it did and I might be more upbeat about things.

Brighton in for Verbrugge
Napoli in for Tresor
Villareal in for Butez

Can't say I'd be surprised if we missed out on all three!

MancunianClaret

Gotta say, I'm starting to learn to navigate my way around - quite fun so far. And definitely enjoy the lack of adverts, or needing to pay/grind to win games. Thanks for introducing me to this.

I'll be inviting an Everton supporting mate of mine in there for a drink pre/post match

I've bought a standard membership. I only make it to half a dozen or so home games per year, and the occasional cup game - so a season ticket isn't really cost effective for me. Hopefully this means I can get tickets to a few desirable home games this season (although I won't use it for buying away ...

I love how some fans have the ability to read VKs mind. Can I learn to do this please? How do you go about it?

I don't think it's a particularly hot take to say VK prefers integrating new players sooner rather than later. Probably the same of any manager to be honest.

Stone House hotel in Blackpool. Wasn't my choice, someone at work booked it. Absolute dive. Dead pigeons outside my window.

Not watched it yet, but will do. They were filming parts of this outside my house. Must be the red brick terraces in Manchester are reminiscent of those in Sheffield!

Wish I was just a £2 bus ride away from Manchester. All that superb beer on offer. Track, Cloudwater, Marble all have brewers taps and bars selling their excellent beers. Only problem is holding one’s bladder on a bouncy bus ride home. I can catch trains to Manchester from Shrewsbury but for consid...

I'm not sure if they've changed the graphic since posting earlier, but the main difference between the "normal" membership and "premium" is that the latter has "access to away tickets", whereas the former doesn't.

MancunianClaret

I find, sadly, in this world that there are very few people who ask how you are and are genuinely interested in your life. So many people only talk about themselves, and as others have said it's incredibly tedious when conversations are one way only. Totally agree. I always make an effort when gett...

Why disorder at a pre season friendly??

I hope those are the 'dahn sarf' prices, £7.50 for a cheeseburger.

£5.50 for a cheeseburger without additional toppings, which considering the captive environment and comparable to other venue F+B pricing, is probably about average these days.

MancunianClaret

I must have missed that, thanks for the heads up

MancunianClaret

As an example, Levy (the new caterers) currently provide concourse catering for a number of clubs including Watford. This is their current concourse offering.

Serious question, is it a major trophy?

It is for West Ham? Would be for us too.

I've had a go at setting my team up for the game tomorrow. Let's see how this goes! Can't be much worse as I'm near the bottom of the bottom division right now haha.

MancunianClaret

Cornet on the bench, hope we see him. Love that lad.

Let's go you iron bubbles or however it goes!

MancunianClaret

Might aswell do it before the pitch is re-laid - or is that underway already?

I think they did a "camp under the stars" night at Turf last summer too if I'm not mistaken?

Also to ensure the squad is all at the same / similar fitness levels. A large portion are away with international teams in the coming 2 weeks so if we didn’t do this pre pre season they would be ahead of the lads who weren’t going away fitness wise. Or behind, looking at how Cornet and Zaroury retu...

The 'top 6' is now a thing of the past. It no longer exists.

Have you let Sky know?

MancunianClaret

If you just want something basic (distance, speed, heartrate, GPS) then you can pick up an Amazfit Bip 2 for about £35. 30 day battery life aswell. Been using one for about 2 years now.

Another point for consideration, while Spotify may have been that first single steaming platform to kick this all off, there are now others - Apple and Amazon have got on board as well. Maybe there are others. Does the fact there are competing services selling the same product act as the mechanics ...

MancunianClaret

Well the question is if Spotify charged say £50 a month, would it have had the same effect on piracy? The free access and the cheap price for premium options are as big a part of the accessibility as the ease of use/fact it isn't illegal. The product would definitely be a lot better if the Premier ...

MancunianClaret

The thing to note with Spotify is that it might have killed off music piracy but it's also drastically decreased the money artists actually earn for their music. Yes, revenue share for artists is an issue - but I don't think that's related to the uptake of pirated/non-pirated content by end users. ...

No arguments we get fleeced, but what is that £7 as a proportion of the average income in India? Think I remember seeing somewhere India was, in terms of cost of living, 66% cheaper than UK. The different prices may not be entirely comparable. Good point. Just had a look and the average monthly inc...

MancunianClaret

Music piracy was a huge issue until a platform that centralised it all in one place, at a reasonable cost, emerged; Spotify. Music piracy died a death after that for the most part.

MancunianClaret

In India, you can legally stream every single game in the PL (and Championship I think) for £7 a month. We get absolutely fleeced over here.

MancunianClaret

What a bizarre post. Why do you care what other people do with their bodies?

I don't have any tats but my partner has a full sleeve and I love it (but more importantly, she loves it). It's part of her.

Really enjoyed it. I get that some don't like the format of the story (go to X place, retrieve Y object or complete Z task) - but for me, it makes up in other areas. The cinematography, sound, special FX, set/costume design are all fantastic. Disney are doing a great job with the franchise.

Let me know if you want any help or tips. It can be a bit overwhelming at first but once you get the hang of it it's quite simple to navigate.

Thanks. I'm going to take a proper look this evening after I finish work - I'll have a read through some guides over a Guinness!

Have you tried a local advert, or casually chatting to a neighbour. There are lots of folk who have garages and don't use them. I needed somewhere for mine for a couple of months. Someone put me in touch with an old dolly who let me have the garage for an acceptable sum. Safe and secure. You just h...

Sorry to hijack the thread, but bringing it somewhat back on topic, does anyone have any recommendations for classic car storage around the Manchester/Lancs area? I'm storing in Leeds at the moment but it's a pain being that far away.

Take the advice on gait analysis before committing to a specific brand or shoe. I did it recently and wish I'd done it months ago, would have saved myself a lot of discomfort!

Chobulous' post is completely fair and is something i maybe didn't take into account quite as much as i should have. However, i do think there is a middle ground. There are jobs to do and people who can do them who are on benefits, so there must be something that can be done to bridge the gap. Oh y...

MancunianClaret

Enforced labour is slave labour whichever way you look at it. Community service for someone who has committed an offence is one thing, but forcing people who are on benefits to work in whatever sphere is, to me, beyond the pale. Or are we saying that claiming benefits is tantamount to criminal beha...
