Good luck with the op.

Well, if you are anywhere near Oxford on your trip, you can buy me that drink you owe me :-)

I’ll make sure I have something for 17th. Album already selected, just need some words.

I can’t imagine OB1 picking System of a Down: he hates them.

Oasis: Aquiesce Fat Boy Slim: Right Here, Right Now. Someone had to. Hole: Celebrity Skin Metallica: Tuesday’s Gone

Love that Air album.

Even more sad at the official news than I thought I would be. His message was an emotional watch. I have been a big Pep fan since his early days as Barca manager and watched an awful lot of their games on TV. For most of his time there, the idea of him coming to City was a fantasy but then he...

Bit late, but hope it went as well as possible. Nasty business.

Deftones 4/10 At best moments it reminded me of 3rd rate Foos.

We have played the highest quality football for most, if not all of Pep’s time, aside from an injury induced blip last season. How entertaining we have been has depended on who we had in the squad and bus parking bastard opponents have hampered the entertainment value of many games but give...

I am certain there is no magical tactical formula (not that I am an expert on tactics). However, the higher the quality of your players and the manager, the more chance you have of breaking through massed defences. Also, scoring early in a game, especially if you can get a couple of goals, can...

If Pep does go, Maresca will be appointed. Pep is playing games with the media so it is hard to be sure one way or another, which is why he is doing it. We will find out soon enough what his intentions are. I watched all the post match stuff today and it really hit me how much I want Pep to...

Tight, tense, tough game but City did what mattered and won the FA Cup. Glad to have been there again.

Gone for Guehi over Khus. Had identical defensive records but Khus got booked and Marc made 30 more passes than him and had most touches of any City player so I think he edges it.
