    FA Cup Semi-Final | City v Chelsea | Sat 20 Apr 5:15pm

    Which is exactly what was said in the aftermath of us beating them 6-0 in the league in 2019, only for us to scrape a 0-0 draw at Wembley and win on penalties, with many leaving before said penalties to get the last train. It's costing an arm and a leg, but I'm staying over. It'll be cheaper...

    Protest?

    Is there any club where season tickets haven't increased? I'm not saying the club is perfect. It isn't. But is it so bad that we need a protest? Can you imagine how much a protest against the owners (for that is what it would be) would play into the hands of our enemies. In reality, I pay £765...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I don't even remember 'Talkin' City. :-) There's nothing miserable about my post, old scout. I'm the one who is sticking up for our club. Trying to be positive about what the club is doing. This is what our enemies want. Blues to attack their own club. It's Manna from Heaven to them. Of...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Totally agreed. I have to say that I'm not happy about the 1894 Group post on social media and all they have done is to whip up negative comments from our own fans to the club, which is exactly the sort of thing that the fans of other clubs want to see. Not for the first time, they've scored a...

    Surreal Moments at City Games

    1 - 1982 - City 0 Birmingham 0, and a dog running around on the pitch for a full 15 minutes before it got caught, which was the highlight of the game. A month later, a dog strayed onto the pitch v Brighton but the novelty had worn off, this time. 2 - Alan 3 - After about 9 home league games...

    A Treble of our most infamous draws you were at!

    'Infamous' obviously means that these have to be negative emotion draws. I was at the 1981 FA Cup Final but I actually feel three others are worthy of a mention ahead of it for infamy. 1 - City 3 Bournemouth 3 in 1989- 3-0 up at half time and, ultimately, a win would have taken us up on the...

    9 | Erling Haaland - 2023/24

    It's hard. He has the best goal scoring stats you could ever wish to see, but at the same time he winds me up no end. What I see with Haaland is the single best player I have ever seen for getting into the right positions to score goals. His strength, his awareness, his ability to lose the...

    Bell, Lee and Summerbee statue | Unveiled (pg19)

    If only somebody had told the sculptor that the middle one was supposed to look like Francis Lee instead of Trevor Francis.

    We have lost 1 game in 7 months!

    Yes. We drew them. We lost 2-0 at Aalborg in the second leg once but went through on penalties. It doesn't go down in the history books as a win.

    Champions League - 2023/24 - Leipzig, FK Crvena Zvezda, Young Boys

    Lies, damned lies and statistics. Let's be honest, we could field the Under 21s for six games and still have a chance of getting out of this group. :-)

    The End of on Street Parking within walking distance of the Etihad

    I wouldn't get that used to it. It won't be long before the tram line to the Etihad is closed for two to three years.

    Scottish Football Thread - 2023/24

    Todd Cantwell is better than Matt O'Riley. However, Reo Hatate is way better than Cantwell when both are at their best. In my opinion, of course. :-)

    Scottish Football Thread - 2023/24

    There have been that many Trebles in recent years that another won't be particularly missed. :-) The way that Celtic laboured yesterday has to be of concern. After the fantastic football played in the Postecoglou era, Rodgers seems to have tried to undo a lot of the high-speed, high-tempo...

    North Stand Expansion

    All depends on the method of procurement. If it's Design & Build then the chances are the tendered costs will be significantly higher than £300 million, but with City having a degree of certainty with the costs, barring 'unforeseen' extras that could not reasonably have been allowed for. If...

    Tales of Blue - Kit Symons

    I watched it last night, Mark. It's been a while. What I did notice was that it was No.50, but the previous one was Mark Halsey at No.45. What happened to 46-49? :-)
