Is/was Lacazette much of an upgrade?

A great day for Manchester city’s next 6 opponents

I’d take him.

I’d also take Carroll, Crouch, Dzjeko and Batshuyi carrying on playing as well as he has been.

Basically I’d take any option that will remove some of the pressure on Mo’s shoulders.

Remember how the spark went out of Fabregas’s eyes and he immediately lost his boyish good looks when he went there? Harrowing.

6 match ban for flobbing on someone’s shorts seems a bit excessive.

Think i agree with the argument that anyone who says they’d rather be punched in the face or have their leg broken than be spat at is a seriously fucking questionable human-being.

Punched in the face - maybe
Leg broken - obviously not

Depends if the person has any sort of infectious disease which can be carried by saliva. If not I’m taking their flob all over my face any day

Most people don’t know how to punch really.

Reference: being punched in the face

Agreed. I’ve read so much of that where people are genuinely saying they’d rather get their jaw broken or their ankle snapped than a bit of spit hits their shirt.

For some people it’s up there with not wearing a poppy on your shirt, the lowest of all lows.

Still gunna hurt more than spit innit

Was it Ashley Young who snotted down Tevez’ neck that time? How long was the ban there?

Yeah but I find it really fucking gross and I’m not a baby about getting hurt.

Obviously if it’s someone going to break my jaw or something that’s different.

It’s absolutely fucking daft that e.g. niasse got a 2 game ban for a soft but debatable penalty where, if he hadn’t got a second booking later, that Cardiff lad wouldn’t have had any real punishment for the tackle on sane.
Completely filters down to Sunday league too, where you only see bookings for handballs, occasionally swearing, keepers taking someone down, or defenders pulling a striker down when they’ve been turned, while properly dangerous stuff gets let go all the time.
Really dislike the way it’s framed that things which are essentially assault are more honest or whatever than a dive, or waving an imaginary card or whatever.

Very English thing imo. Going through the back of someone = How the good old fashioned ruddy bloody game should be played, spitting = you have impinged my honour sir
