The path of totality goes from Texas to Maine and on into Canada. We’re in a hotel about 40 miles south of the outside edge of the path, and we’re really looking forward to Monday. I was in Cornwall for the one in 1999, but didn’t see it as the sky was heavily overcast, though the darkness was...

Today marks the 50th anniversary of Dennis Tueart becoming one of us. Before the takeover, Dennis, along with Big Dave Watson, was one of my favourite players, just behind Frannie. He was a wonderful player, and scored some brilliant goals in Blue, including the one voted best League Cup final...

Is it possible to support two teams equally? Whom would such people want to win, should their two clubs face each other? I know a lot have a "second" team, whose results they keep an eye on. As far as I’m concerned, that’s Exeter City, as a mate used to play for them. Many years ago, a lad I...

Available at the moment, #1, #11, #12, #15. #22 is certain to become free, and if rumours are to be believed, #8, #14 and #20 will too. Is it too much to hope for that Cole Palmer is given #11 and Rico Lewis #12? Probably.

Voted Premier League Manager of the Season for the fourth time. A genuine football genius. He has not only revolutionised the game, but he continues to evolve and develop his teams. We are so lucky to have him as our head coach.

Four City players - Doyle, Lewis, Palmer and Trafford - in the starting XI. Tommy and Cole doing particularly well. Croatia have just taken the lead with a brilliant free-kick, following a pull back by Rico earnt him a yellow card.

According to sportbible.com, we are looking at this lad. He’s 18, and has a €100 million release clause, and is obviously attracting the attention of other clubs https://www.sportbible.com/city-xtra/antonio-silva-benfica-manchester-city-psg-real-madrid-transfer-news-20221020

It has been announced that Howard "Red" Webb is to return to English football as the new head of PGMOL. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62664278 No doubt the pisscan and all at rag central will be delighted.

What is going on at the London Stadium? Bottom of the Premier League with no points and a -5 goal difference, not having scored in any of their three games. Will Gollum turn it around? Will he be given the time? I know it’s still early in the season, but I really expected them to be doing...

Patricia Brake has died at the age of 79. She was a great actress, and was brilliant as Norman Stanley's eldest, Ingrid, in Porridge, my all-time favourite sitcom. She also appeared in Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale, and as a whole host of other shows, as well as on stage as a...

Now, I know I was the only City supporter, who didn’t attend York away in the 98/99 season, but I tend to follow their progress, as the grandchildren live there. Since that fateful day, our respective fortunes have gone in opposite directions, but after five years in National League North, they...

Gordon Lee, the former Everton and Newcastle manager, has died at the age of 87. I remember him clearly from my youth. He gave some of those, who starred for Howard Kendall, their debuts for the Toffees. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60662922 R. I. P. Gordon.

Our former centre-back was attacked and robbed in his house. He had a belt put around his neck, and the intruders took money and watches were stolen. I hope you’re feeling better soon, General, and that the police catch those, who attacked you and recover your property...

Another one of the 1966 World Cup squad gone. He didn’t play in the tournament, but won 49 caps and made 515 appearances for Wolves, where he won The First Division three times and the FA Cup in 1960. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59260375 R. I. P. Ron.

I’ve just been on the phone to City to try to add our grandchildren to the domestic Cup schemes, but I was told that can only be done if they’re Season Card holders, but he didn’t know why. Has this always been the case? Or is it a new thing this year? Does anyone know? Thanks in advance.

Ten goals from nine different scorers. Not a bad start: Torres - 2 OG - 1 Grealish - 1 Laporte - 1 Sterling - 1 Mahrez - 1 Gündoğan - 1 Jesus - 1 Rodri - 1.

It’s just come up on L'Équipe that Der Bomber has died at the age of 75. I clearly remember him from the 1974 World Cup (and before). One of the best strikers of all time. R. I. P. Gerd.

On Sky now. It's half-time. The best is yet to come.

New manager - Ange Postecoglou - and three new signings - Osaze Urhoghide from Sheffield Wednesday, Kyogo Furuhashi from Vissel Kobe and Liel Abada from Maccabi Petah Tikva. Also, we need somewhere for @Magicpole to rant and rave against the Celtic board. ;-)
