My Old Man said when Neil Young was breaking through into the team 'He tackles like a cream puff.. but he's got a shot on him' He usually had a pretty good eye for a player to watch, especially those players to learn from when teams visited Maine Road (Alex 'The Golden Vision' Young of Everton...

Johnny Crossan was my second ever City hero as a lad learning the game (Trautmann was the first, obvs..!) His penalty for the second against our promotion rivals Huddersfield on New Year's Day in 1966 confirmed us as real promotion, even championship, contenders. I remember being in the Platt...

I witnessed first-hand the 'Ballet on Ice' in 1967; beating The Red Filth 5-1 in 1989; Aguero's '93.20' in 2012; the 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid two years ago (note to my 7 year old self.. yes, it's true! one day your beloved Blues will thrash Real Madrid 4-0.. that's Real Ma-f**king-drid we'll...

Now, now, dear 'Tin Foil Hat' (and you too, dear 'Give It To Gordon'!), that's a calumny aimed at The Scouse Red Filth that is unworthy of you! As 'Exhibit 1' above clearly demonstrates, those fine, upstanding fellow-my-lads who represented our country and cemented our contribution to the...

I wish the PL incompetents, the Red Cartel self-entitled twunts and their Media shills would all 'fu-coffee' with their 115/130/petty jealousies or whatever..

Great performance, great win.. well done to 'The Blue Shirted Heroes from The Manchester Academy of Footballing Arts and Sciences' and all of the supporters who made the trip to Selhurst Park to cheer on The Lads (including three of our lot in the North stand!) Safe trip home, all, bringing...

Nah! That's not 'Der Fuhrer'.. it's Jonathan Pie.. he does a good impression of 'Mr Hilter' as part of his stage show.. finishes with a rocking version of 'Deutschland Uber Alles', really has 'em dancing in the aisles.. Meanwhile, back on topic: 'f**k the PL and the Red Cartel..'

Perfect track. Completely, utterly perfect.

Hold on there, dear 'nmc'.. to be fair, the first 'stories' (and I use that word advisedly!) about City are around the 20th and 22nd marks on the interweb-page thingy that all these modern media johnnies have to use these days.. that's such a considerable improvement on the 30th plus marks (nay...

FIFA Peace Prize? 'Peace off, Infantino..' Oh, and while we're at it, 'peace on you'.. complete and utter waste of time..

Bang on regarding both incidents. Strange how Wolves' disallowed goal wasn't discussed in context with the Scouse Red Filth being cheated (yet again!) by City.. Strange also that the gathering of several Leeds players to (a) take on some water and (b) get instruction from Farke hasn't been...

Spot on. Yet another 'Johnny-come-lately' faux outrage solely aimed at us. Where have these herberts been over the last five years? It's been commonplace timewasting during almost every Arsenal game (and with other clubs, too) for ages. We do it once and the football media goes mental..*...

Guilty as polysyllabically charged, M'Lud..

Oh come, come, dear 'BM', don't underestimate yourself or do yourself down.. you don't appear to have any manifest history of misunderstanding the sesquipedalian content of the contributions of our fellow Blues on here..?!

Without a word of a lie, I finished reading your post and a few minutes later the i-Thingy shuffle here in the lounge started playing Gordon Lightfoot's 'If You Could Read My Mind'.. Spooky!
