I don't think just 2,5 years at City is in any way realistic, that was tongue in cheek. But I do seriously doubt Haaland stays at City past the end of his current contract, which is 2027. Four or five years at City and then on to Real Madrid would be my bet.

Who knows what Haaland will be thinking in three years, or what the wider European football landscape will look like then? Not sure why his dad is coming out with these comments really.

He literally made 4subs in one go against arsenal then brought on skipp as the 5th a few mins later

Yes it was said as a tongue in cheek remark that admittedly would have been more accurate if i had said it before Saturdays debacle.

They were made in a documentary Viaplay, the PL rights holders in Norway, made about Haaland's decision. So it wasn't an off the cuff thing, it was planned out as part of their thought process about why he chose City. Being so young still they don't want to dismiss any potential suitors down the line.

He’s the ultimate footballing product, apart from Mbappe. City is not a big enough club for a player of his profile to stay at for their whole career imo, too much money to be made.

Because they're literally top of the table with 7 wins from 8 games?

Why wouldn't there be any thought of them potentially winning the title?

It doesn't mean they're going to win it, or even likely to win it, but it would be pretty odd not to include them in the conversation given what's happened so far.
I remember in 13/14 when Roma won all of their opening 10 games, they were looking so impressive and beating teams comfortably. Many thought they were finally gonna get that title win, it kinda came out of nowhere too.

Yet they couldn't keep it up and were easily beaten to the the title by Juventus.
Who were having some small teething issues and had taken a big defeat on their 8th game of the season and had 19 points from 24. Not too different to us.













Managed by none other than, Antonio Conte.

Vardy has made a lot of difference tonight, hustling and bustling.

That goal was a good example of some of our issues at the moment.

Leicester knew where they were working the ball, touches/passes were precise, they didn't over do it or over complicate it.

Much like we were last 20 vs them.

Matterface is so awful.

Leicester score a second:

"It's Leicester 1 Forest nil.....[*realises he's got the score wrong*]....for only seconds because now it's 2 nil to Leicester!"
