    Did it kick off in Picadilly last night?

    ....unfortunately, these ‘younger people looking for trouble in relation to football’ are the dregs of humanity and are in the mould of the age old ‘bully’. The only thing that they will learn from is a good kicking, or, better still, see one of their mates get a good kicking and know there is...

    Cologne or Dusseldorf?

    ....nothing between the two, except Dusseldorf is easier to get back to after the game.

    The Nigel De Jong Appreciation thread

    Considering that Mancini has on numerous occasions complained that we don’t have enough players, this can mean only one of two things; either 1. We can expect some major arrivals tomorrow, or, more likely, 2. The widely reported rifts between Mancini and Marwood/owners are true and we are...

    Expectations for games against Real Madrid

    Real Madrid away is EXACTLY the type of game you need NDJ for. Without him or somebody better in that position I’d expect us to ship three goals away from home.

    The new young guvnors book

    The stats seem to suggest that the drop off in crowds aided the growth of football trouble - it wasn’t hooliganism that caused the fall in crowds. For this reason, it didn’t happen in the 50’s or for most of the 60’s. I was there in the 70’s and got involved with it (loved every moment of it by...

    The new young guvnors book

    ......I watched a TV programme recently about the ’70’s which really hit the nail on the head as far as football hoolies were concerned. It took a hold because in the 70’s, the ‘grown ups’ had more options for their leisure time and therefore stopped going to football matches with their kids on...

    Why is Quinn in our Hall of Fame ??

    I was at the game today and got a text from a mate of mine who was watching it on tv that said “You would think that Niall Quinn had played for Liverpool for the last 20 years the way he is going on about how good Liverpool are”. I haven’t heard the commentary yet, but given the comments on here...

    John Terry

    Actually, OJ’s acquittal was essentially on racist grounds because the jury/establishment feared rioting on the same scale as the Rodney King riots in LA a year or two earlier. You are right - the OJ case was completely different, but the jury were shit scared of returning the correct guilty...

    Watching the Community Shield in New Orleans

    ....anyone got any suggestions?

    City's worst manager of all time

    Hard to pick a ‘stand out’ worst. Lots of very,very bad ones. Ball yes, Coppell yes, Malcolm yes, but for me, the one I found the most aggravating is Pearce. Got the job without any real credentials, then got the under 21 job with no credentials, but the real issue is this - he served up a brand...

    De Jong the mercenary ?

    Re: De Jong the mercenary. Anybody in doubt about his effectiveness should just look at the last 5 minutes of the QPR game. He hasn’t looked as good in the tackle since the Ben Arfa incident and the subsequent anti City fuelled witch hunt. Relatively speaking, is he worth £100k+ a week...

    Brian Glanville (merged)

    This may have been covered somewhere else on here, given the outrageous content of Glanville’s comments on Talksport, but having listened to the bile spouted out of the mouths of largely southern journalists since September ’08, I have never actually heard anything quite as bad as this. This man...

    Richards in Olympic Squad

    I suppose it depends upon if or not you have any enthusiasm for the Olympics - personally, I couldn’t give a fuck about them. Micah’s inclusion can only be bad news for City in my view. Others may and obviously do think differently.

    Richards in Olympic Squad

    Bad news for him, bad news for us. For him, this simply confirms his ‘always the bridesmaid, never the bride’ status - Pearce has already said that he’s replaced Beckham because of a lack of defensive cover due to Kyle Walkers injury. As for the ‘it hasn’t done Messi any harm’ view, I’m...

    Hazard Joining Chelsea

    Whist I’m disappointed not to have signed him, I’m happy that he’s not signing for Utd.....just in case he does turn out to be the ‘New Messi’.

    Richards overlooked for Martin Kelly

    I'm English through and through, but I will be very happy to see England go out at the group stages and get butt fucked by the French in the first game and hopefully see the most over rated **** of all time,Phil Jones, get taken to the cleaners by Nasri. Richards being left behind to make way...

    In Town today

    Two years from now, he'll be a City 'fan', so. eventually, will his sons and his grandsons.

    A nice touch?

    He was mediocre and for every £1 spent on a good player, there was £5 spent on a failure. We lost a year with him at the helm - I wish him no harm, but he wasn’t up to the job and has now re-found his managerial level. If we’re giving him a medal, we may as well give Clarke, Horton, Royal...
