It's painfully clear that he is finished. He has tried 4 times now (I think) to take his injury like a man and "make sure I come back stronger than ever" and each time has sustained either a recurrence or a new injury embarrassingly quickly. It's not like he's getting one unfortunate new injury...

I already think that no matter whatever else Pep does in his career, he has one thing from his time at City that he can use to demonstrate his genius: Kolarov. A player who, quite rightly, was berated by a lot of fans (myself included) and who we ALL surely thought would have been gone before...

Part of me doesn't blame the players much at all, every man and his dog saw the players looking half-arsed in a lot of games so there's no doubting that Pellers and his staff must have spotted the same. So either they didn't notice, didn't do anything about it or tried and failed to get the...

My initial thought was the same - "give some European experience to some of the youngsters!" - but after reading some of the comments I think it's totally right to start a full strength XI, give them more chance to familiarise themselves with Pep's style of play, at home, with no pressure and...

Update Page1.

Interesting that not a lot of people are including Sterling in Pep's starting XI. Some said he would flourish under Pep but it's difficult to fit Aguero, KDB, Sterling, Nolito and Silva all into the same team so Sterling probably will be the one to miss out. Supersub?

I can't see much piss-taking going on, a lot of clubs are doing this now. The removal of 'FC' from the badge already showing that 'Man City' plan on broadening into much more than just the football 1st team. Pretty irrelevant to us football fans in a way but commercially very clever, trying to...

For me that is more entertaining than half of last season's games. Can't bloody wait for this season to get going!!!

First things first, how do you pronounce his name? Can't be having another "ee-a-nat-cheo" on our hands.

Thanks for everything Pelle, all things considered you did a good job in keeping the seat warm for Pep, keeping us winning trophies and progressed us in the Champions League. Now roll on next season!!!

Out of curiosity does anyone know what Pep's teams' injury records are like?

Hopefully another successful recruit from the feeder club. Pep clearly thinks a lot of him, hope it works out!

You're welcome. Anyone know a good hostel?

Im sticking a few bob on United to win as insurance, anything else is a cracking result for us and I won't be upset about the money!

I could handle it if we didn't win this weekend, I could handle it (just) if we didn't get top 4 and didn't have CL football next year, but what makes this extra gut wrenching is the thought that if we don't get top 4, we all know who will...
