It shouldn’t matter. If the ticket is showing in your account you’ll get through the turnstile irrespective of what the display in your phone’s wallet reads. A mate of mine had the first home game of last season stuck on his digital season ticket for all of 2024-25. He never had an issue getting...

It was indeed 11:15am on Sunday. It was originally picked for TV coverage on the Saturday but had to be moved due to Everton having a UEFA Cup game on the preceding Thursday - they slipped into that competition at short notice after exiting the CL in the playoff round and missing out on the...

There's been a few occasions when we've played at Saturday lunchtime on Sky. The Liverpool home game a couple of seasons ago was one and there was a derby at the Swamp a couple of years prior to that.

She’s probably still in shock and not thinking coherently after the dippers were on the wrong end of a VAR decision last Sunday.

That game rings a distant bell but I don’t think Alf Grey would have been involved. It’s extremely unlikely that a ref from Norfolk would ever take charge of an Ipswich fixture.

A regular Gold ST gets 190 points for renewing each season. To the best of my knowledge the cup scheme points are the same for a Flexi as for a regular Gold but someone may know better than me.

Don’t forget the big Khusanov v Marmoush battle on Friday - the all-important Uzbekistan v Egypt friendly.

Thanks as always to @MCFC1993 for the excellent info. One small error is that you've got Egypt playing two games against Algeria. Their friendly on Friday is away to Uzbekistan - the highly anticipated Khusanov v Marmoush clash!

The increased capacity will theoretically increase the away allocation for cup ties. But I suspect City will attempt not to play ball with that citing the loophole of segregation issues - something that both the rags and Arsenal have managed to do for years now.

We’re all getting older and losing track of the years but that League Cup final replay was in 1978!

My memory may be playing tricks but didn't Foden miss one when we went out of the Carabao Cup at West Ham following a shootout?

In PL games only, most pens taken without any misses is 12 by Cole Palmer. Yaya is next with 11.

His record for City was scored 42, missed 1. His career record was scored 49, missed 5. Two of his misses were when he was playing for England - both in friendlies.

Correct. He took 10 penalties for City and scored them all. Bizarrely he only took a total of five pens in his career elsewhere and missed three of them!

Both of those felt important at the time but we ultimately won the title in both of those seasons anyway.
