Another fine write-up, Rob.

I don’t play FM but I have advocated for a bigger squad for this season since the summer and I’m pretty effin’ sure I it would have helped but the additions have to be high quality. We were always facing the potential issue of strain on many of the players from so many high pressure games over...

Madrid at home is the best single game. Centurion season was great, before the opposition almost all took to parking the bus big time. The Pep era is definitely the one with the best football within it.

I think he was wumming but, whilst a bit of gallow's humour is an old City trait, the post was rather unhelpful.

I absolutely believe that our squad has more reasons to be “exhausted” than pretty much any other. I’d say there’s no doubt about that as far as English teams are concerned. I also think that the current injury crisis is a product of that; it is a more likely reason than unfortunate...

He scored plenty last season in La Liga. Needs his first goal and hopefully that will bring more. And people called Riyad FFS!

Savinho has to score a goal. Not blaming the lad for the defeat but he has yet to score and had two or three good opportunities in the first half, which had he taken one would probably have won the game for us.

More fucking stupidity. Another game that should have been over at HT. Awful goals to concede.

I enjoyed the jazz playlist. Again, preferred the later stuff to earlier but a good listen from start to finish. I don’t know a right lot about jazz although I have a decent number of “Jazz Rock” albums, but that’s very much post-60’s. I do own “Kind of Blue” but it’s not had many airings...

Why should he pull out of the England squad? He was left out of the Euros, wrongly, so he is not going to turn down a place in the squad. We don’t know yet if he will play any minutes for England or just train with them, and if he is fit enough to play some minutes, that will hopefully get him...

Like the Bangles but got to go with The Who classic, some of my favourite lines in any song.

I’m certain Tolmie has good info. Hopefully Jack will be in the City squad this weekend. No one player will necessarily make the difference but Jack is one who on form helps make City a better team. For City, he has become one of those players who knits things together and that is not what a...

I did wonder if PND was the issue. It would explain why Pep has been silent. If Jack was in Pep’s bad books, I think he would have at least hinted at something.

That's good to know ;-)

And you will be delighted to know Queen and Rush were were in second and third place.

Ah, sorry.

Sam Lee said they were having an exchange of opinions. That doesn’t mean there’s an issue between them but I’m damn sure they are all emotional and pissed off, which they should be, and that will come through in their demeanour.

Already said that we need Jack and Kev back. Doku and Sav are works in progress. Nunes is more experienced and has shown that he has something to offer but Foden is a superior player and may need to go back on the wing. I like Bernie centrally but he obviously can play on the right wing.

Not for one moment saying their penalties shouldn’t have been given but Sporting players both made most of contact and went for the Oscar.

Really angry about that one: utter stupidity. Three stupid penalties. Too many wasted opportunities and suicidal defending. This is all fixable but Pep has now got to do something a little different. We have been far too susceptible to the counter attack and he has to fix it. Of course we...
