I fear the lad is not living up to the ridiculous hype he gets. When you're constantly being told you're the world's best, it goes to your head.

The wonder of Manchster United is how they have got to 7th (?) place in the PL. Apparently they have had 574 shots against them this season, and more than 20 in each of nine out of the last ten matches. Somehow, their opponents always dominate them, yet squander their chances shamefully. But...

Please not another draw with extra time and pens. They'll be dead on their feet.

Back page spread in The Times: "Jude: City never tempted me" Double page spread in the same paper:"Return to the Etihad holds no fears for Bellingham" And lower down: "We can lose all three competitons in a week" - Siva. That's us written off then . All hail Bellingham. We might as well give...

There is a strong probability that the the three teams who came up into the PL will go straight back down. Is this a pattern to be repeated? If, as seems likely, Leicester, Leeds & Ipswich come up, how will they fare? Somehow, I fancy that at least two of them will stay up, or even do moderately...

Lovely to hear about the great Len. He was, indeed, "phenomeally talented", and tore City to shreds whaen Bradford P.A. puteight past City at Maine Road. He then signed for Neecastle and scored six on his debut in a 13-0 win over Newport County. Six goals on debut! When I was a lad I saw him for...

I assume you mean the car boot?

Ditto times 10

Be careful what you (don't) wish for - he might end up at City once Pep leaves......

So do I Weekends are so boring with just some internationals to watch bits of if I can be arsed. Probably not. And the papers are full of page after page on England's "new golden generation". As if I cared. I want to read about City, not Saka and bellingham. The sooner we get back to some Pl...

I'm sure Mr Saka will have made a miraculous recovery by the time they come to the Etihad.

I was wrong - it was the Rivoli. Denmark Road, Chorlton o Medlock, not the \Regent. The Regent was on Princess Road, Fallowfield. And the Regal Twins on Oxford Street? (As opposed to the Regal, Le(enshulme)

At least Mbappe wont be playing for them

The Coronation was little more than a tin shack. Does anyone remember the Tudor in Didsbury? (I am really goimg back now). It was a lovely cosy little cinema tucked away down a residential side street in Didsbury village, and never had very many customers. I wondered how it kept going and was...
