Having just watched the highlights on MOTD2 it's clear that tiredness and the sudden, unexpected death of a member of the coaching staff was a bit of an issue for City.
I get that sort of response when I tell a joke down the Pub!

No, the comment is still there i think....
That's the funniest thing you've said for ages!
It's just incomparable. And it works both ways. Todays elite athletes would struggle with bad pitches, waterlogged balls and getting assaulted.
Can't quote or replyNo, the comment is still there i think....

Blame the teachers? What were his parents doing? Don't they spell-check everything their child writes? I know I do.
Saw that and can't believe the Dad let him make the sign with no correction.

Made me feel like Stannis Baratheon
Arse at home last season?
Simply do not agree with your comment on Greaves. He was lightning quick, both in thought and in deed.
You are right in your last sentence though, the changes render them incomparable. However, with the fitness regimes and protection that strikers get today, I'm 100% of the opinion that Greaves would eat the modern game alive.
Yes so you can’t really tell but Jimmy had a goal poachers knack of being in the right place at the right time
George Best was never really renowned for his pace but I think he’d do rather well!!
I try and do it on here but it’s not always appreciated…
I think the lacing boots comment was a bit harsh but I suspect Greaves might have been better for natural talent .
You assume the parents are any brighter.....
In the final third absolutely, but elsewhere?
I love Greaves, but I'd have to say that for all round talent, Kane takes it.
It's taken Kane 37 games more to beat Greaves' record, but factor in that Greaves was essentially a finished product when we bought him, whilst Kane started his first team career as a youngster just embarking on a top flight career, then you tend to look at Kane in a different light.
He's fully deserving of recognition as our greatest ever striker, though not everyone will agree with this.
I think Woolwich will win the league by amassing more points than anyone else but would love to see their arses wobble if they lose at home to Man City
Simples!
City have been charged with financial misconduct and could get a points deduction !!
Levy's dream of being top dog is coming true, doing it the right way.
Greaves is my hero. Maybe second hero after Hoddle.
Greaves in todays era would be phenomenal. But with the way transfers are today, he would not spend the 9 years at Spurs. He would have go to RM or similar on a world record transfer.
Lots of ifs and buts when you compare across eras. However this is true - Harry is one of the best strikers in the world of his era. Greaves was the best. No question.
