This is about his bonus nothing more. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him sacrifice every away game just to keep “select” players fresh

Did he give away a lot of pens mate? I seem to recall him making a few clangers but i might be thinking of someone else?
I think he also feels it is in his interest to finish not too far above the trap door.
It is more in keeping with the image he has created of himself as a hired gunslinger who rides into town when a team is in the lower reaches of the EPL and over the course of half a season he grinds out just enough points to survive and then ride off into the sunset with his “reputation” as a “miracle worker” intact.
Achieving safety with three months of a season to go would mean he misses his fix because it appears to me he gets off on fighting relegation.
At Everton the run we had after the Saints debacle had dispelled all thoughts of relegation and had us looking up at a run for 7th and a possible European jaunt next season.
But like the Grand Old Duke of York, having got us up the hill, Sam promptly reverted to type at Baggies and Bournemouth and has been marching us back down that hill ever since
I thought he was dreadful.
Totally lived down to the reputation he has made for himself at City

He has a record of losing concentration, making errors at vital moments and scoring own goals.
He has a record of making 'clumsy' tackles leading to penalties, bookings, sending-offs and suspensions.
He also has a record of running strongly and scoring goals from set pieces.
His Carabao Cup semifinal performance against Bristol City was the final straw for Guardiola.
He’s like that grock in school who can’t play footy but just smashes people

In the mid 1600s, the Brits took from the Netherlands colonial territory in America, (thereto held by the Dutch), which the Netherlanders had coined 'New Amsterdam'. The Brits' sortie was financed by the future Charles II...then, the Duke of York. Honouring their financier, the Brits renamed the captured territory ... 'New York'.I think he also feels it is in his interest to finish not too far above the trap door.

Thus, the last Catholic Monarch of England has captured enduring legacy.
Yet not a lot of people know the historical etymology (tautology alert!!!) of 'New York'

Looked much better in the second half in a back four, in fairness.
Not that it was hard to look any better than that first-half showing, mind.

For them as don’t, I would recommend Edward Rutherford’s splendid novel, “New York”.
That Mangala was awful at Arsenal.
The nursery rhyme that @Khalekan refers to is also based around a battle in the War of the Roses, which took place at the ruins of Sandal Castle, around 500 yards from my house. Go figure
But yeh, Mangala had a bit of a mare.

Play him alongside Holgate once Baines is back. I am sure he'll look good.

Two right footed players, two left footed players, and all in their preferred positions.
Hurry up Leighton ffs. Your return transforms our defence.
