Same here. It somehow doesn't have the magic anymore for me. The days of planning my life by a wallchart for 3 weeks or so have long gone.

No we don't and we never have done. For info we currently use Cumbria Coaches. I was told not long ago that the coach with Carlisle United livery seen regularly belongs to a Manchester Travel Firm. In fact it's been in use for some City supporters for games when Carlisle have also been playing...

It’s already lost mate. VAR has seen to that.

Precisely. They've even got a TV programme dedicated to it now. All part of the grand plan. Something needs to be done but nothing will be done. Yesterday was proof that it's corrupt IMHO and to put that up on the screens was an absolute piss take.

At least it ensured that the ball went to a City player.

I reckon that to qualify as a football genius you need to have the brain of a football genius. It's impossible to copy a football genius successfully unless you are a genius yourself. Arteta is living proof. His tactics are a million miles away from the Cruyff/Guardiola school of thought.

She also said that it's the first time Pep has gone 2 seasons without winning a trophy. I must have dreamt those 2 Wembley trips then.

Agreed The BBC just can't resist reminding everyone about the 115 at every opportunity. More coverage than our FAC win. Their sports department is a right shower of shit.

1956 was the earliest for me (on a small black & white telly too). Wore my 1956 replica shirt at Wembley on Saturday to mark the 70th anniversary. Had some trepidation though as the last time it put in an appearance at a Cup Final was the Wigan fiasco. Been wearing sky blue ever since. Relieved...

Fully agree. Also it was good to return to a proper rousing version of the National Anthem rather than, as you say, the usual solo singer showing off her vocal range.

Funny you should say that as I did exactly the same. As I got to the top step at the exit from the seats I turned around to have a last look. You never know what the future holds and we have indeed been spoiled these last 15 years since Bobby Manc set the ball rolling. What a ride it's been -...

Agree 100%. The only time I can recall there being a problem between us was in the 1970's and 1980's. Let's face it though, in those days everybody had a problem with everybody else :-(

Nauseating. An insult to the many who have gone before him. Not fit to clean David Silva's or KDB's boots, either as a player or a person. A mard arse who hides when the going gets really tough. Fcuk off BBC with your biased click bait reporting.

It looks more like a Bristol City kit TBH.
