Aye it's a right shame we can't watch the great man regularly due to the lack of Dutch football on TV. I guess we will have to take these short opportunities to see him. Bit like getting glimpses of Pele in Internationals back in the 60's

I think its far from clear that Doku is not good enough, loads of players have taken time to settle at City , before his injury he was skinning defenders for fun. I cannot remember the last wide player to be an obvious success for City in their 1st season. Grealish, Mahrez, Bernardo Sterling and...

Completely agree that Ortega was excellent and coming on and playing like that is excellent. To be absolutely fair though their keeper was pretty impressive for a No2 made some good saves and distributed well.

Actually thought the back 4 collectively were pretty good apart from the back pass. They were getting too little protection from a midfield who failed to retain possession till Kovacic came on. Gave it to Stones for his goal though Akanji was very impressive as well.

I agree, I remember not wanting Pearce as manager and disagreeing about his appointment on a different forum from this. Then at the end of the first few months with him as manager feeling I was wrong. We actually played some decent stuff with Cole and Vassell for a short time. But when it went...

Must admit for me his undoubted great work in his first couple of seasons was a little tarnished by his later transfer dealings which left us with a weak squad and no money. Fond memories but a checkered legacy.

Id rather he stayed with us, but I think he would probably be successful as an International manager because he has a real footballing brain and thinks about problems. I suspect he'd work out a way of getting the best from a squad with limited time. The main caveat being that International...

They were checking all ours today and pleasant and apologetic about it but it did slow things up and I'm not quite sure why as I've never seen any problems near us .

I thought Foden played quite well yesterday and voted for him.

We needed a forward when we bought him. As well as a statement he was tallismanic in his first season on his game. Sadly he's turned out to be a despicable individual but I don't think his purchase was purely as a statement, though that was part of it

Have to confess to having a red campervan. Really wanted the particular model and it was the only one available. Didn't want it that colour but there was a long waiting list for blue vans. Even come along to evening matches in it so I can sleep in it on my journey home.

You were clearly better informed than virtually everyone else if you were discussing it on Christmas day in 2019. I am not defending the actions of any politician but I doubt it was on anyone's radar until late December. The contingency planning for respiratory infections had clearly fallen...

I guess armpits are less visible than heads.

Mmm, Stefan's distribution was generally excellent but 10/10? The second goal of Luton's was due to a poor error of distribution IMO. Don't disagree that he was generally excellent though.

Tight game that, could have gone either way.

I guess beyond the fact that the murderer has been apprehended and jailed and is no longer a threat nothing is particularly important. But is it noteworthy and of interest to people reading the news? I would suggest yes, All sexual murderers of strangers are very rare but those born female are...

Only time I ever walked up Snowdon was in August many years ago. It was still snowing on the top.

I cycle and drive there are certainly both very poor cyclists and very poor drivers though from a personal viewpoint the majority of both are decent and law abiding for most of the time. However there are a couple of things , why do people assume its the transport mode rather than the...

Good story in one of his obits. When managed by Tommy Docherty Docherty to Stan "You can trust me Stan" Stan replies "I'd rather trust my chickens with Colonel Saunders" Leaves Docherty speechless.

That did not look like Xander Schauffele.
