Indeed! This season they sit top of the league with 45 points from 20 games. 5 years ago before they played us that evening they had 54 points from 20 games - W17 D3 L0. After defeat that night they went another 44 games before losing again in the league including a "rolling" 38 game sequence...

One of my all-time favourite games and one that I've watched chunks of it back many times for the quality, physicality and atmosphere. At the time the 2 best teams in the world in an unrelenting gladatorial fight to the death. Brilliant.

I posted this recently: 5 of the 6 most viewed PL games in the last 4 seasons involved City. The Premier League provide the clubs with viewing figure for the total worldwide. We are 3rd behind United and Liverpool. (There wil be less bias for the international market) In the UK alone, live...

Presumably you are aware that the G14 (18) group doesn't exist anymore and the club body is the ECA? If you are simply using the term with reference to the "big boys" and the original players with us included, they are categorically no longer a homogeneous group. The English clubs, German...

5 more league starts for Phil since I posted that. A further 2 MOTM performances from the 5 (Spurs h & Everton a) and a very good 2nd (Luton a) and still people are moaning. Takes his league MOTM performances up to 7. Closest to him are Bernie with 3 and Doku with 2. No other player has more...

You are categorically wrong. To repeat my earlier post Swiss Ramble uses a figure of £113.9 million. Yes ££££. And whilst it’s good to bash our neighbours, the market pool differential was not the main reason for 2021 being slightly higher. We received c£15 million from UEFA deferred from...

The potential qualification for a 5th placed finish is based on the performance of the English clubs in this season in isolation. Currently English clubs are 3rd See @DaleJohnsonESPN on x/Twitter for full explanation and article

CL revenue was £113.9m for 22/23 according to Swiss Ramble. Approx £1m less than our record high in 2021. IIRC the split between PL and CL was also in the accounts

Agree 100%. I think it is brilliant other than the additional toll on the players on a non WC or Euros season. If we were to win UCL again this season and based on current 5 year coefficient (which will change) the European clubs would be: Chelsea Real Madrid City Bayern PSG Inter Leipzig...

12 European sides made up: 4- from UCL winners 21,22,23 and 24 - so Chelsea, City, Real Madrid so far. 8- from UEFA 5 year coefficient. BUT Maximum 2 from any one country except if UCL winner. So, as you say, only Utd and Arse have a chance and Utd's chance should disappear tomorrw night :)

Good for you. I will watch it. Our owners will love it with great exposure in the US. Packed stadiums and loads of dosh to make. Got to build the brand don't you know.. Great way for Pep to bow out as well. Before we are relegated :)

It's not an anti-City article as such. More to do with the forthcoming new format at the end of the 24/25 season with 32 teams including 12 from Europe. 3 from Europe have already qualified - Chelsea, Real Madrid and City by virtue of winning the CL. More money for FIFA and the clubs. More...

LOve it

I missed an important word - half. :) Now edited.

Comfortably Foden 1st half, Bernie 2nd half and Ake great. Gone for Ake

Compared to last year: -3 Arsenal -2 Chelsea -3 Wolves -2 Liverpool -2 Spurs +3 United So -9 points on last season Potential games to pick up points from where we dropped last season: +2 Villa a +2 Newcastle a +3 Liverpool a +2 Brighton a +3 Spurs a +3 Brentford H +3 Brentford a +2 Forest a...

Per game cost of new PL deal:£6.2m. Per game cost of old deal agreed in 2018:£8.5m. Old value adjusted for inflation: £10.6m. The bubble has burst. The headline figure is bigger in the deal just announced but purely on the back of more live games. Yes, City are one of the reasons why the...

"It's what champions do" "Mentality Monsters" What a load of bollocks. Peak City in 18/19 when we won the last 14 on the bounce only conceded 4 goals in those 14 games. We were ahead in all of them by the 70th minute at the latest and only were behind for 1 minute (Brighton). Now that's what...
