I also come up from that area and Ashburys/Stylewise UK Ltd parking area is the best bit, as you can get away from the ground quickly after the game. Best route there is to get off at J19 of the M6, onto the M56 and then down Princess Parkway (we find traffic on the M60 pretty bad after 3pm) You...

Attwell appointed as the referee tomorrow - absolutely ridiculous he's allowed near one of our games again this season, especially one this important. In fact, after the Spurs v Brighton debacle, it's ridiculous he's refereeing full stop.

I worried about Tariq for a moment, then I realised he had scorned ex-girlfriend Leterme helping him and it was another of his colour by numbers articles about us. Perhaps he just 'ran out of time' to ask Leterme about when he fucked up the investigation into PSG?

Thank you to Stefan and Lloyd for their detailed coverage on Monday, which provided some comfort along with a much better understanding of the situation. One question that comes to mind when considering the length of any case is the overall wider impact on the league. Stepping back, it's...

There's a need to remain calm. We all know there's a political whirlwind around these charges, be it other clubs, regulators the lot. Have they just charged in volume, hoping one sticks and they look tough? A bit like UEFA with the two year ban, hoping CAS would only take a year off? Every...

Having now read Dale Johnson's article, which contains the below line 'Information provided by the Premier League and PGMOL was used in this story' It appears Atwell gave the goal alone and the wording of the law gave VAR no opportunity to intervene. I'm now keen to see how this information...

I don't disagree - which I'm why so keen to actually find out how Atwell reached that decision (and it was allowed to stand) without any input from them. His interpretation of the offside 'law' subsequently opens it to allow teams to place players anywhere on set pieces or even in open play...

Dermot Gallagher did a good job of explaining the thought process and possible conversation between the officials, but PGMOL have to provide clarity on that conversation. Firstly on why it led to an instant decision of goal and whether it truly led to VAR unable to intervene. It now feels like...

I actually thought we played well, especially given recent concerns on the form of key players. The 'shot on target' metric is an unfair criticism of the team. It was a tight game, with United making a change to their recent set up and playing two holding midfielders, simply mirroring their...

Every time I see the goal and the multiple angles, it becomes more infuriating. We need clarity on the following - - Why is Atwell refereeing us again, after only refereeing us two weeks ago at Leeds - His total non-response to the systematic fouling of Mahrez by Malacia and subsequently...

I was at the game last night. Southampton is a mere 2 hours from us, compared to our 3-4 hour pilgrimage to the Etihad most weeks. Firstly, any Munich nonsense needs to be nipped in the bud. Was some clown waving a United top in their end and it got a pretty grim response. May have only been a...

Certainly a difficult game last night, regardless of Chelsea issues I expected them to be a problem. Always feels like they could hit you with a set piece or counter. The first half formation was a slight change to the recent set up. But it was also the first time some World Cup players had...

I feel like this is part of a wider debate on how we play and also how opposing teams decide to set up too. Worth seeing Brighton's first goal last night and comparing how exposed the full back was, compared to Saturday. Once he's out of the way, Mitoma gets up to some speed and it's job done...

There's no doubting it was a poor performance on Saturday, but I do feel it was a one-off rather than symptomatic of a malaise. Brentford were well prepared and utilised their strengths well, but we provided them with ample opportunity to do so. It was hugely reminiscent of the Palace game...

This was actually an entertaining game. Very impressed with Brighton and their set up under De Zerbi (I think he'll be linked with us in the future) - our inverted full back system is loosely based on his initial build up, where you look to play quick vertical passes through pressure by dragging...

'Premier League is asked if it has investigated Manchester City owner over Russia allegations' From the Guardian - I had expected one of the usual suspects with a 'PL Investigation' or 'fake sponsor', but this sort f garbage isn't far short of outrageous. After a week of Haaland release clause...

I think we did fine to take a point from yesterday. My key take-away was the spirit shown at 3-1 to get back in the game. Historically we've lost those games, not playing well and tactical errors. Newcastle probably played at their absolute maximum too. The major issue first half was how we...

Interested to see how the usual cabal decide to view this La Liga complaint. Are UEFA & associated parties competent again after spending the last few weeks being booted around due to CL final scenes? After all, it was only 2020 when UEFA were geniuses and City widely denounced for having the...

What makes yesterday even sweeter is how laughably predictable these reactions are. Colour by numbers crap from the usual suspects and the classic professional embarrassment mixed in too. I'm sure we'll have an EXCLUSIVE on the PL investigation shortly. Tuning these berks out has made this...

'This is the football' as Roberto Mancini once said. For every 93:20, Gillingham and 6-1, there's a Spurs VAR, Porto 2021 and this. It hurts more this morning than it did last night. The common themes from the last month are missed chances and fine margins. Liverpool at home, last week and...
