Yep, Red's definitely back alright.

Didn't even realise.

Well, tbf you're not a a habitual offender. I'll let this one slide

Where's Silkyman? Appears to be pulling a bit of a Spear.

Where's Silkyman? Appears to be pulling a bit of a Spear.

He posted in the religion thread an hour or so ago, he hasn't shown up in here though for some reason.

Perhaps he's turned to religion in a desperate attempt to come to terms with what happened at the Etihad yesterday.

HAHAHAHAh Delph and Sterling. Money grabbing fuckwits

But no mention of James Milner who falls into the same category and arguably by refusing to re-sign for City created their desperation for English players, hence the spunking of money away on the likes of those two. No transfer fee, so bet Jimmy got a big fat signing on fee.

Setting aside City selection errors, Liverpool were very good yesterday and it could be an interesting season if they can keep it up.

 

[Pagnell]

So Milner refusing to re-sign because he wanted more football is at fault for City buying Delph and Sterling? That is fantastic. [emoji38]

 

[Boz]

Thought that Milner's reason for moving to Liverpool,(aside from the money), was that he could play in his preferred central midfield role, a sort of Gerrard replacement. Yet he played wide right yesterday.

if someone offered me a superior workplace, a much improved chance of success and double my curent wage i'd say no cos i'm loyal init. football fan logic

 

[Etty Abrics]

Amazing

Lovely to wake up and see the vilest of vile clubs have taken a hammering.

I read the thread shocked to see not one mention of how City have wasted money these last few years given it's all anyone wants to talk about with United.

(been a while)

And he's doing so without kicking up a fuss, and reportedly refused a higher offer from City. I'd not throw that accusation at Milner.

Milner was bought by City for some inflated price, ran his contract down and left on a free. His current value would be somewhere about £8-10 million at a guess. Undoubtedly he got a better signing on fee than if Liverpool had to pay a transfer fee and I'd guess that more than compensates for any wage differential. I don't think that there's anything wrong with what he did, but neither do I see a distinction between him and Sterling.

 

[merseyboyred]

There obviously is, but ok.

 

[Stevencc]

Fear not, friends.

Silkyman is alive and well in the United vs PSV thread.
