UK used to stand for United Kingdom but ask anyone today and they'll tell you it stands for Unbelievable Krimewave.

Ok course they do - they spend about the same share of their GDP as we do and have publicly funded health systems just as we do. They just have higher rates of taxation, better public health initiatives and properly fund social care. They also didn't spend years stripping investment away from...

That's because people are far less likely to die of cardiac conditions or stroke earlier in life so more often are diagnosed with cancer later in life. Or to put it another way, 40 years ago blokes would drop down dead from a heart attack at 70 but these days the equivalent will live to 85 but...

Steamroller by the Family Cat is about Southampton. It doesn’t mention them explicitly but does have the line ‘The Saints are playing at home today’ in the chorus.

Can't work out who that is. Mike Summerbee?

Paul Lake.

It's not exactly a sitcom but Stella Street is top of the tree for me.

I fully agree with the criticism of Soriano, from day one he’s regarded City’s match going support as a problem to be solved rather than something to be harnessed. Every interaction with supporters is a further is designed to achieve the objective of replacing us with people who will maximise...

Still banned aren't we?

They play Bring It On Down before the start of the Second Half. Turned out to be the best bit of quite a few home games last season. The Poznan at Oasis gigs was a surprising and original, trying to recreate it at the Etihad by playing Cigarettes and Alcohol would be contrived and half-hearted.

I'd love to see Agbonlahor explain to Guardiola how City's football is robotic. It's mad that people think that Moyes of all managers might give Grealish the freedom to do whatever he wants. If people want Grealish to play like that they should invent a time machine and send him back to 1997...

Most of these aren't a rip off, they're just the actual price. Things feel more expensive because wage growth has stagnated since the early 2010s and we've exhausted the benefits of globalisation reducing the cost of production.

I'd argue that all things considered City's record in the Champions League from 2017 to 2022 is better than a lot people give the club credit for. City playing in the Premier League never allowed us to concentrate on Europe in the way that playing in Spain or Germany does. The fact that Madrid...

I think he scored in the abandoned fixture against Ipswich in early '94.

Probably the best collective example of false memory syndrome in history.
