I am not convinced by the conspiracy theories posted here. For years I have seen long-standing season ticket holders posting on here that they have never been to a Champions League match and had no intention of ever going to one. This always leaves seats to fill. Now we are getting moans about...

I blame the demise of the away goals rule. When it was in play City lost ‘drawn’ ties three time against Sporting, Monaco, and Spurs. Now is is gone City lost to Real Madrid when they would have won had it been retained.

Never in his lifetime?

Uncompetitive? There are two points between the top three. with six to play. There have been five different winners in the last eleven seasons. Compare that with Germany where Bayern won nine in a row. Try France with PSG dominant. How about Italy where Juventus won loads of titles? Spain has...

We are also travelling via Newcastle and York. TPE didn’t appear to be taking any advance bookings on the 08:12 and 10:12 trains.

Need to get this thread back on track.
