Essentially, the PL and NL are forcibly arguing that the leagues should be allowed to continue to largely regulate themselves and promise they will do a better job of it than they are now if things are just left as they are. This includes opposition to government involvement in prospective club...

Kev said in his FA Cup SF post-match interview that today’s match, as well as the team’s general performance this season, was about “character” after the highs and energy drain of last season (and the Real Madrid game). And it got me thinking: Where would we rank the 23/24 squad in the...

Despite not playing well at all, we just appeared in an all-time competition record sixth consecutive FA Cup semifinal and managed to win it. Now on to focusing on securing a record fourth consecutive Premier League title. I personally think the players deserve an immense amount of credit for...

This is a bit random, but got in to a discussion with a mate who coaches u15 level here in the US about the more intricate (and, in some cases, stupid) penalty run-ups he is seeing in matches (mostly from opposition players as he won’t allow most of it from his players). He told me about one...

Congratulations to Bayer Leverkusen for their historic achievement in managing to unite the vast majority of Germany and England in mutually experienced schadenfreude!

Sheffield United will face a points deduction for their next season in the EFL; Blades Blades will be deducted two points at the start of the next season that they are in the Championship, with a further two points suspended; Punishment relates to the 2022/23 season An independent commission...

Thought he was worthy of his own thread in here. My current opinion of him: Bellingham can act the model schoolboy off the pitch all he likes, but how anyone can watch him on the pitch and not think the hype and protection he gets in La Liga has gone to his head is beyond understanding. Nearly...

Don’t forget to send your best high holy day wishes to your Rag mates today for Facepalm Sunday, as well next weekend on St. Beneathus Day. Facepalm Sunday message: St. Beneathus Day message: Just for you, @gordondaviesmoustache ;-)

A leisurely Friday night counterfactual discussion about how things would have developed through today if we had replaced Pellegrini with Mourinho instead of bagging Pep. Where would City be now? Would we have won any trophies? How many managers would we have had since his appointment...

CDC indicates the health risk for the U.S. general public is low, both from direct infection or from milk/meat produced by the cattle (as it is being removed from the food supply). And the infections seem to be mild, both in the cattle and the confirmed infected person. I have several friends...

And I feel fine… Having experienced a level of football year after year (including this season) that I never even dreamed of when I was a young lad pining for 40 points and the odd derby win, trying to avoid having the piss (or worse) taken out of me by the gloryhunting rag cunts at school...

Rice to captain, Mainoo set to make full debut, and Toney will feature. Henderson is unlikely to play (thank the football gods), Bellingham and Palmer likely available. No indication yet as to whether Rico will feature. Hoping Stones and Foden are rested but we all know how Southgate likes to...

Kane, Palmer, Henderson all out of Brazil game England captain Harry Kane will miss Saturday's friendly with Brazil due to injury and is also "extremely doubtful" for Tuesday's match against Belgium. The Bayern Munich striker hurt his ankle at the weekend and has not recovered in time to play...

I’ll say again: the only team that can usually stop City from winning is Manchester City. Let’s hope we can get out of the way of ourselves against the Arse. MOTM: Ortega

I was hoping to create a supportive, inclusive, and compassionate space on the forum for blues to share their current mental health experiences, both good and bad, however you personally define that. My intention is for this thread to become a place where struggles and positive progress alike...

When Phil’s second went in I celebrated with my toddler and he sung ‘City, City, best team in the land and all the world’ for the very first time with me. Easily one of the best moments of my life. I always kept the faith our brilliant blue boys would turn it around. By the way, we really...

Ok, lads, I know it can get a bit boring so you often have to make your own fun, but do we always have to give the opposition a goal to start?

A lovely review of the highs and lows of our more-than-decade long journey to European glory! Brought back so many memories of jubilation and heartache; of triumph and defeat. Looking back, I honestly would not have it any other way, as everything that came before made our eventual victory...
