I was expecting a tougher game although, unlike many, I certainly wasn’t bricking it. That was much more like a proper City performance. Hope City build on it, including buying some additions in Jan.

Cherki. Both Nicos had good games but no one had a bad day.

Third choice for ‘86: Live to Tell by Madonna. Slicker than a bottle of Johnson’s baby oil thanks to Patrick Leonard - a haunting atmospheric song from a rather bleak but compelling movie.

Yes, our tastes would be diverging at that point although I’d say mine are reasonably diverse now but what I love most has not changed much. For the record, Roth is anything but a buffoon: behind the clowning around he is one of the smartest guys in rock (albeit not smart enough now to retire)...

I later found it but didn’t buy at a very reasonable price on E-Bay.

For my second pick, I’m going for the buffoon who produced a song better than anything on the first Van Hagar album.the rock n roll sunshine that is: David Lee Roth: Goin’ Crazy!

Nice pick. Frees one of my unused picks up. Love to song and Ronnie’s contribution.

He's young, he's new to English football but he is gifted. Time and effort on his part is what is required.

First playlist pick for 1986, Eric Clapton: It’s In The Way That You Use It.

Foden: Haaland denied by the woodwork. Phil back to his best.

Foden.

No one really merited an award. Voted for Stones because he did his job.

Simply dreadful. Has to be Pep’s worst team selection decision and he should have known better. Three points surrendered needlessly. I hope he never underestimates an opponent again. Also, he has to sort out the issue of teams being able to play through us so quickly and easily. Savinho and...
