I find it strange how the older you are, the more you pay, but the less freebies you get...?

I like the idea – I too, have been campaigning for it for a while – but the name "Cityzens" is a wank and I sure as hell wouldn't hold up a scarf that says that

HNK Rijeka, however, appear to have distanced themselves from speculation that one of their players made racist comments towards Fofana.

A statement on their website read: 'Manchester City coach Patrick Vieira entered the field, something was discussed with the referee, and then to the amazement of a well-filled stadium he took his team off the pitch. What are the reasons? They are known only to him.'

racism okay
spending money not okay

the fifa way.

4th time in 2 years one of our players have been racially abused. seko, devante cole, yaya and mario. when is anything actually going to be done?

Hi guys, with the season not too far away, the mods would like to start up a new thread for previewing each team's season ahead and we'd love to get your thoughts/answers on the questions below.

Instead of one poster doing a post for their club (and the subsequent scrolling through threads to find a specific preview), we are going to try and keep '1 post per club' (so if we get multiple responses for the same club, we will include them together in the same post) - similar to the format used here:
http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...iff-city-championship-preview-experts-7557542

link to thread: http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/club-season-previews-14-15-season.1072350/

Questions: (feel free to answer as many/as few as you like).
  • How have you rated your team's preseason performances so far?
  • How have you rated your team's transfer business so far?
  • Which of your new players (if any) are you most excited by and why?
  • What fixture is your most highly anticipated this coming season and why?
  • Who do you think will be your most important player this season and central to your chances of success?
  • Who do you see as the biggest surprise packet player at your club (big improvers, hot young talent from the academy)?
  • What are your minimum expectations for the season ahead and how do you rate your chances? (final league position range, cup focuses, silverware chances? etc)
  • How safe do you think your manager's position is and what would it take for him to come under scrutiny/get the sack?
  • Best XI when squad fully available.

How are City shaping up for the first game fellas? Any injuries? For us, looks like De Jong and Tiote might be touch and go and Cisse (debatable if in the first XI) is coming back and still a few weeks off.

Who do you think would start up front - Dzeko or Jovetic? (or both?) Jovetic has had a good preseason hasn't he?

For us, Tiote is almost certain to miss and De Jong is a 50/50 chance (doesn't help our chances of getting a result either - believe Siem scored a double against City 2 seasons ago?) :p

No Aguero and no Negredo and that team is still bloody scary - worried about how our CBs will go to be honest.

No Tiote and no De Jong (coupled with our recent record against City) and our chances are next to none :drunk: (Hopefully there is a degree of title hangover and the players play out of their skins for the 2 Toon fans who lost their lives in the MH17 tragedy).

Saw something that Hart might not be guaranteed the gloves for the opening game and that Caballero might get the nod - any truth you reckon there mate?

Hope Jovetic actually has a good season (except against us). Was probably your best player in the Shield game.
