I’m glad we got a point, according to the highlights on the screen at St James Park we lost 3-0. First half yesterday, after the first ten minutes was dogshit, only really Gundogan and Ake looked anything like on it - and then Ake went off. Rodri has the occasional game where he’s away with the...

He’s great, he called my nephew when he was in hospital - was completely unexpected and he thought it was a scam call when he didn’t recognise the number - and to this day we still don’t know how it came about, maybe one of the hospital staff contacted the club.

Is that why nobody reads Miguel in The Independent? It’s Russian and Saudi owners?

I’ve always been aware that anyone that ever plays for City is a thousand times better a footballer than I could ever hope to be, even the ones that look dreadful. So I’ve never been into abusing them if they fail on the pitch. Do remember Ray Ranson testing my patience in his second spell...

Leave the guy alone, he’s still dealing with finding out that he’s asthmatic a fortnight ago

Do kids get something different? I got my box the other day but no sign of anything for the kids here who have all got season tickets? I mean obviously I’m happy telling them it’s because I’m more important than them but apparently that’s not great parenting.

Latest Tory logic from the debate tonight: “Q: How are you going to get civil servants back into the office when people at the top are all remainers? Truss says she is good at getting things done.” Only good honest Brexiteers actually go into their offices apparently Next week we’ll have...

That’s horrific - we were at Download in June and I thought that was bad (£5.60 a pint, about £10 food and you can take your own food non-alcoholic drinks into the arena area) but think you’ve just revealed next year’s prices…

“Why England’s Euro triumph proves Liverpool were right to make their womens team play on pitches covered in dogshit and change in their cars”

Some of these posts read like an incel’s final rant before going on a rampage. Not entirely sure what great TV coverage of the women’s game is replacing, quick look at Tuesday last week and the BBC’s prime time included such cutting edge entertainment as Andrew Flintoff recreating Challenge...

To be honest I’ve been doing it for every home game since 1995 (with a four year gap just after the takeover when we lived abroad - ironically then the journey from Helsinki was usually cheaper and sometimes quicker than Edinburgh) so it’s just what I do. There were times in the late 90s when...

Yeah I drive to every game with the three kids from Edinburgh. We gave up on the trains a few years ago as it just wasn’t worth the hassle. We did fly down for a lot of games in the past but no operator has got the Edinburgh - Manchester route to work for long. It doesn’t help that the tv...

Evans Halshaw are horrendous, my wife got a written apology from the Chief Exec a few years ago after one of their dealerships were openly misogynist to her. She turned up for a test drive that she’d booked in advance. Was told to wait and sat there for almost 45 minutes until she went to see...

Went to FC Edinburgh (formerly Edinburgh City, now with a name change) today for their league cup game with Arbroath. Felt a bit weird going to a competitive match in mid-July but that’s the fixture list. Anyway of interest to groundhoppers, it was the first game in their new stadium - sort of...

Just saying that…. Phil Jones was signed and touted as the new Duncan Edwards at 19, but can’t stay 19 forever. He looks like Jaws from the Bond films, who famously battled Bond in Rio in Moonraker - so that’s the Brazilian hint covered We’re after a centre half Would melt the internet...

The BBC text commentary is tremendous… “Defender Callum Doyle taps home from close range after a corner is headed back across the six-yard box by Jarell Quansah….Another huge contribution by Liverpool's Jarell Quansah for the goal.“

I got lost driving to that one, but ended up clocking Keith Curle driving past, knew he was the manager at Mansfield so followed him. They knocked me back at the staff car park though.

My lot have been coming since they were around three, now have three season tickets between the four of them (aged 12,10,8 and 5). They’re all pretty laid back kids in general so have always been really good at the game, my older daughter took a colouring book for a while but rarely used it...

Yep, I’m in East Lothian and there was absolutely sod all happening here, kids were even in school on the Thursday (I got the day off, it was ace). Nearest we got was the primary school saying kids could wear their own clothes and could have a picnic instead of eating in the dinner hall if...

didn’t Nolito say Manchester looks like the back of a fridge? Still makes me smile that.
