I honestly belive that in the next few years City will not only meet FFP but turn a healthy profit. Unlike many owners, Mansour is so wealthy he is never going to have to sell the club, IF the good Sheik does one day decide to sell up (I don't belive this will happen anytime soon) he's only...

City TV is fantastic but the blasted thing won't run properly on my PC, sometimes becomes unwatchable. It would be brilliant if they could give you an option to run it at lower quality, it used to work fine last season but this year it's been awful and keeps crashing too.

Forgott to add, I've also been laughing hysterically for no aparent reason.

I'm 44 6'3 and only a little bit less than 17 stone, sitting here reading this thread I'm welling up all over again. When Dzeko scored I couldn't stop thinking about Gillingham. I didn't cry when Kun scored but started filling up at the final whistle, this carried on for most of yesterday, I was...

I've seen a few pitch invasions, they're rubbish. The whistle goes, 10,000 zulus steam onto the pitch, the players run for their lives and disapear faster than a rag at an FA Cup semi. Once the pitch is occupied most people just mill about not knowing quite what to do, usually a couple of...

I'm sorry to tell you, but there's probably nothing for it put to pull it all up, and keep pulling it up, you've got to get rid of every last little trace of it, if you don't it will keep coming back. It will take years to get rid of it as it is very tenacious stuff, good luck.

Kinkladze was a bit like Stephen Ireland, he had one good season when he was absolutely brilliant, then gradually his game faded away. Unfortunately his one really good season was managed by Ball so we got relegated. Even after this he still had his occasional moments of genius but they got...

My son is 6, he's absolutely blue to the core and goes round Bury slagging off any and every rag he comes across. If he was offered a chance to train for free with United, it's a no brainer for me, I would NOT make him do anything he didn't want to do, I'm pretty sure he'd be distraught at the...

Brazil took part in WW2, they formed part of the allied forces in Italy, so there is no reason why they shouldn't.

I've got a lot of time for Chelsea, the day we got relegated to div 2 I was in Newcastle (stag do) and had to watch the match v Stoke in a pub, my abiding memory is of a Chelsea fan coming up to me (they'd played Newcastle that day) with tears streaming down his face, he was genuinely upset and...

The away fans got moved around a lot at MR, I think when segragation came in they had the Platt lane end of the Kippax and the uncovered corner, after the Valley Parade fire they got the entire Platt lane stand instead. After the Platt lane stand was rebuilt they were moved to the Kippax end of...

There are a lot of young players who get off to a really good start and look like world beaters but then suffer a drop in form, usually the following season, the best players get through it and eventually become even better (Micah Richards), some (like Stephen Ireland) don't and have to move on...

Mercifully I have yet to sample the delight of listening to Claridge talking about City. I do remember watching a fly-on-the-wall doc about his time as Weymouths manager, he struck me at the time as appearing to be very unprofessional, he was just interested arsing about with the mates he'd...

I'm not sure where but I remember reading that the Etihad is woefully short of corporate accomodation. I think that this is where most of any future expansion is likely to be, if that's the case then it's irrelavent wether we sell out or not, expansion is going to be driven by wether we sell out...

This demonstrates what I've always hated about the Champions League and why I've never watched it on TV, its bad for football and always has been. As for Tevez, there's been a lot of hysteria with every man and his dog having his say, and while I don't want him to get away with his (alleged)...

I live quite near to Gigg lane, I don't know the official attendance they get but parking is gradually becoming less of a problem on their match days. On Saturday we didn't even realise they were playing there were so few cars parked up. Personaly I don't care too much where they play so long as...

I know a couple of teachers (Mrs Lyonfish is one), and they say if the child is bright they'll do well at any school that's half decent. The best thing to do is ignore the league tables (they're meaningless anyway), take the ofsted report with a big pinch of salt, and instead go and visit the...

Catholic schools reserve around 30% of places for non catholics, these are usually allocated on proximity of the childs home address to the school, so you've got a chance without getting your child baptised, just ask the school for a copy of its admissions policy. If you get your child baptised...

I remember a rumer going around when we were on the verge of getting relegated to Div2 that we were going to merge with Wimbledon FC, we would get their team and place in the Prem, and they would get our fan base. It was a bit silly really and wouldn't have been allowed anyway, but it just shows...

I allways try to stick up for Pearce a little bit, Ok I'm not going to defend his mistakes, but all managers make them. It wasn't pretty but Pearce did what had to be done, the money from SWP mostly went on the day to day running of the club, most of the players he brought in were free or next...
