Ever since we moved to the double pivot, I have to say this has got to be the dullest City side since the Pearce days. We were obviously worse under Sven and Hughes but there was a far more positive approach to the way we played. This double pivot just sucks the life out of our game, our...

Just reading up on our only away win in 106 games where we've been losing at half-time and this is the team we put out: There's been better performances than that Huddersfield game but can't think of any team, on paper, that we've put out that have been better than that. Surely the best in...

Arsenal's highest paid player and he's been left out of their PL squad for this season. Is it for football reasons or is it because he wound the club up for speaking up about concentration camps in China and showing them up for the shithouses they are by paying the mascot even though he was...

Just watched the Social Dilemma and it touched upon the trend of the internet and social media giants cancelling, hiding, or failing to report news that challenges the politics of some of the people who run these companies. Google, for example, were forced into a u-turn for not showing search...

Thought I might as well start one seen as though we haven't got one. The Bolton MP has quit the Government because he thinks the current restrictions are too damaging Yet lots of local Labour MPs (Gwynne, Powell etc) don't want us going into tier 3 but have come out and supported Starmer's 3...

And the single pivot to use the language of modern football? We beat every fucking team in sight and beat every team we came acrossand played football we could only dream of once upon time, the only time we lost was when we went defensive against Liverpool and Spurs in the Champs Lge,, what's...

I didn't want to post it in the other thread/forum because it will invariably end up in a political debate and the thread's already been cleaned up but today's incident isn't an isolated event. Over the past year, there's been an 18% rise in assaults against police, and it's even higher if you...

I've just paid 2.50 for my car hire for my 2 week holiday in Spain, how is this a viable business? I've gone with Goldcar and had to check the booking confirmation because I couldn't believe it was true but it looks like it is. What's going on?

With the Premier League terminating its contract with Chinese broadcasters today and with a Chinese doctor yesterday speaking about forced abortions on Uighur women and the general genocide of the Uighur people, should the Premier League take a stand against what's going on in China after...

I've heard a lot of people list him as someone they'd want to have round for dinner or go for a pint with. Would he really be that great company? 95 year old geezer banging on about animals all night? Not for me, not for me.

Might be a stretch for some to think this is up there but I was at the Middlesbrough 8-1 game and I've seen us beaten by the likes of Wycombe at Maine Road and second division sides but for me, this result is right up there due to the talent we have in our squad. We're not little ol' City of the...

League 1 and League 2 just voted to introduce salary caps - £2.5M and £1.5M. Great move imo, and one of the fairest ways of regulating football finance rather than effectively having different spending caps for different clubs as is the case with FFP and all the anticompetitive outcomes that...

I've heard a few people say it's up a man's arse now. Is this urban myth or a gay chat-up line? Has anyone been up there to find out?

The Ballon D'or has been cancelled today so there's an award that Kev won't win if he was ever a contender. He may or may not win the PFA award but does anyone really care? I've spoken to City fans who are red in the face about the injustice of our players not winning certain awards in the past...

The situation in China looking pretty bleak now. China are cracking down on a combination of Islamic extremism and separatism from the Uighur population but going well beyond the point of instilling law and order. There's plenty of Muslim countries in the world who see no issue with it and...

I think this is a big part of why we've been getting beat so often this season. Our use of subs has been appalling when we've gone a goal down and Pep's ended up making the team worse. I can't think of a player I'd less want to bring on the pitch than Rodri if we're trying to score a goal. But...

I.e. legal in the sense of not being against the laws of the game. That dive from the Bournemouth player yesterday going unpunished with no-one being within 5 yards of him suggests that it's not against the rules to dive anymore. One of the reasons I was wrongly supportive of VAR was that...

1 in 10 prosecutions in this country comes from non-payment of the TV licence, normally poor people who can't afford to pay £150+ a year to watch TV that seems to be becoming less focused on news and public affaairs. Time to sell it off and make it dependent on advertising revenue?

Not to detract from many of the accurate points in the other thread because I agree with a lot of it but we've still won the Community Shield, League Cup, are second, and contenders for both other remaining trophies. Possibly a sign of just how strong our squad is individually but also an...
