    Jacob Wright

    This lad does not seem to have a thread so to mark his first team debut I though I would create one using content from the City web site. Jacob Wright is the latest member of Manchester City's Elite Development Squad to make his senior debut for Pep Guardiola’s men. The young midfielder came...

    End of an era?

    Now that the post Istanbul euphoria has settled down a little thoughts are obviously turning to next season and it seems that change is very much in the air. The futures of players who have been brilliant for us - Gundogan, Bernado, Walker, Laporte - are up in the air and I think some will...

    Team of Clones

    Probably a silly thread but imagine you could clone any one City player, past or present, and put out a team of clones to compete in the Premier League which player would you choose? Personally I would go for a team of Fernandinho's as he had a good mix of attacking and defensive qualities and...

    Nonsense from Chelsea's Women's team coach

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64648506 Emma Hayes says that the idea of getting rid of promotion and relegation should be considered for the women's game in England. Ludicrous USA based nonsense! I wonder if she really thinks this or is spouting the agenda of Chelsea's American owners.

    EDS player most likely to feature for the first team this season

    Just wondering which player(s) from the EDS people think have the best chance of getting some first team involvement this coming season. The wide attacking positions seem to be where the club is most willing to play youngsters and if Cole Palmer continues to have injury problems I could see a...

    EDS Centre Backs

    Mbete looked a big lad when he came on against Sporting. Not challenged but comfortable on the ball and must be buzzing to play in the knock-out stages of the Champions League. I will be interesting to see which of the EDS centre-halves has the best career in the game out of him, Callum Doyle...

    Opposing players discussion thread

    I am creating this thread as a place to discuss opposition players who have played in recent games against City. When I have attempted to do this on post match threads the normal response is along the lines of "he's shit" or a "cheat" rather than any sensible debate and I am hoping the comments...

    EDS Football Marketing

    This season it seems increasingly difficult to watch EDS games as many kick off at the same time as Premier League games and soare not shown on City+ etc. I find it weird how low profile EDS football is given the over exposure of all things football in the media. e.g. obscure comments are...

    City players whose best game at Maine Road or the Etihad was as an opposition player

    Saw Gundo's performance for Dortmund against us mentioned on here recently and was wondering if that could be considered his best performance at The Etihad? Thought about other players who could possibly fall into this category and came up with Ian Bishop. His play in the 3-3 draw was awesome...

    Ronald Waterreus

    Anyone remember this guy - he was a keeper that we signed from PSV and was with us for the 2004-2005 season before moving on to Rangers. He was mentioned on Nedum's podcast where Nedum was talking to Bolo Zenden (not listened to it all yet but Zenden is a good talker and played at some big...

    Expected Goals - useful or a load of old nonsense?

    Over the past few years "Expected Goals" seem to have become a big thing and have even been used to claim that the league table is an aberration and that we should be level or higher than Liverpool. I had some interest in this so downloaded the Kindle sample of "The Expected Goals Philosophy: A...
