Don Pacifico He's probably telling him, he can't be seen talking to him in public.

Antony supposedly has his own personal photographer who goes to every game just to take pictures of him. He was the guy who gave him the sonic teddy bear in the last game. I remember when he scored against us and his cocky celebration, I had a feeling then this guy was all talk and didn't have anything to back it up.

We rightly get slated for Pepe signing but this guy cost as much and has been FAR worse then Pepe.

    I wonder if that is just based on insider info or just his experiences as a player? He added it was partly down to the FA cup and Euros coming up and players not wanting to get injured. You speak to most players and throughout their career they've played through pain and injuries, they see it as part and parcel of being a footballer whereas I wonder if fans have the impression that players are always completely fit with nothing wrong.

    Remember Daniel Sturridge being a player who supposedly could never play with injuries much to the frustration of many at Liverpool. Any little thing and they felt he'd pull out of the game. I remember even reading they thought it might be something mental. Remember Holding talking about White playing with a serious Hamstring injury against Newcastle away a couple years back because we were short.

      JazzG a lot of things will matter. What is the team playing for? What is the players’ relationship with the manager? What is the manager’s standing? White and Jesus are playing with injuries. But circumstances are very different

        Qwiss yeah, there was a game in Auxerre he played with injections and was absolutely unbeatable - of course Wrighty came up with a worldie up the other end and we won the day.

          What makes it funnier is it’s while he’s praising them for their backing 😆

          Every time I see this I think it can’t be real:

            goon all I can say about this guy is it's a good thing he wasn't managing us at Old Trafford for the 50th game, he would have keeled over on the spot.

              goon that he so clearly thinks that true or that it matters is why he'll never succeed. That attitude is completely wrong on so many levels. A moment like that will always come in a season, being a champion requires you to get over it and get on with it. Even Klopp isn't still crying about the Spurs game where they got screwed over.

                Boooo
                Terrible news, ruined the bank holiday weekend

                Sigh. Devastated by that news. So unfair on him!

                I feel a bit bad that we got that undeserved win against them earlier in the season now. #justice4Erik

                Too far?

                  Good news is there’s every chance they hire a bigger disaster.

                    JazzG Imagine this leaking before an FA cup final, joke of a club.

                    It's weird because it's so ... managed? Surely the INEOS mob have fed this to the press. Are they trying to make the story something other than City doing them over?
