have the impression that the women respond to the call "... of all countries, unite!" followed closely!You know , and I know , what Mrs B wants , Mrs B gets . That’s how it works !
Should have gone for real wood flooring then you wouldn’t have needed the rug. It’s a similar mistake to the one Levy keeps makingI’ve just had laminate flooring fitted and Mrs B wants a Persian rug to go on top of it

This league is now completely dominant in Europe, so not sure how you are coming to that conclusion. 5 of 7 teams won their group. Other 2 finished 2nd only due to tiebreakers.It's true. City apart this is a poor league.
A few years ago our best 11 under Pochettino would have more points than we have quite easily. I'm not sure more than Woolwich have because what they are doing is freaky and it's hard to believe it can be maintained.
But a few years ago, our current side/squad would not be in the top 8 at this stage.
Only Kulsevski and Bentancur would have been anywhere close to our first 11 back then. Little or no doubt.
Perisic and Hjojberg on the bench.

Even at our best poch year, we went out to juventus in the CL Round of 16. Europe was much better in comparison to the PL. the EPL had 5 CL teams that year and only 2 made the QFs and 1 made the SFs.
This is not a poor league at all. Liverpool is 8th and finished with the same amount of points as Napoli, who is destroying Serie A.
It is commonly recognized that the EPL is the strongest it’s ever been.
Edit: I’m actually off by a year. In poch best season, when we had 86 points, we finished 3rd in the CL against Monaco, Leverkusen, and Moscow. Lol. But we dominated in the league with a +60 GD. Yet we are supposed to believe the league was better back then? A +60 GD and we couldn’t even get out of a group just as easy as this years?
Because the bottom and mid table sides are clearly better than they were 5 years ago. The top sides are struggling with PL sides but still dominating Europe. The congested schedule is a factor, too.By watching it.
Its the weakest it's been in years. Go and look at the league table and the results that have happened this season.
So in 5 years all of Europe declined and all the players just got worse? But the PL is better in comparison to La liga/Serie A, etc than 5 years ago and the PL got worse you say… so La Liga is way way worse.It's a poor league mate.
I will let others add comment if they wish.
City in any era but much of this current rest, nowhere near the top 4 of most other seasons.
It's totally bereft of real quality, once you take out 4 or 5 players.
I am not saying the rest of Europe is better but that doesn't make the PL very good just by default. It isn't, in my opinion..
Take the rug off the top of your head Baz!!!......I’ve just had laminate flooring fitted and Mrs B wants a Persian rug to go on top of it
