You didn't leave him out of a CL final to play Gundo in the 6 and try and squeeze Sterling on the pitch, did you?!

Spain have been the best side in the tournament and that's 90% down to how he plays. Put him in an England shirt (and a manager who knows how to use him) and we'd be strutting to a European championship. He's been the best player on the planet - any position, any league - by a comfortable...

Drab game, but you'd have to have a heart of stone to not like Saka and be chuffed for him. And Toney, fuck me, fucking grapefruits.

Already had a better start than Liz Truss.

It's hard to know if good feelings followed good(ish) runs, but it was the first time in my adult life that I'd felt fond of all the lads, put rivalries aside, and really felt like there were no egos. Just a decent but tactically naïve manager trying to get the best out of a bunch of down to...

Say what you want about Southgate, but he really did mend bridges between team, fans and press. Very frustrating watching Bellingham and Kane destroy all that to protect their own egos.

Tits out Jackie, the big time is calling you.

That's the one! Every time I walk past it I think a) what a shame b) how ace it would be to do up as a pub for the new arena and match days and c) how much money you'd have to sink in it to get it back up and running.

Went to the co-op a few weeks ago, and you can really see how much of a transformation this is all going to have and what the grand vision is. I suspect once this bit is done we'll get an LED wrap around the stadium and a spruce up of the outside parts of the ground and before you know it that...

I deserve this.

A fella in a pub once tried to incorrectly explain my own PhD topic to me, and when I corrected him he called me a smug prick. Maybe, maybe not, but I knew the topic better than him. What can you do?

Fair play to Jack for this training stuff. I guess we'll never know what happened towards the end of last season, but if he can get off the booze properly and be ready at the start of the season when other plays look sluggish that's a great sign for us. And Pep's man management skills are as...

I took it from the City site, but that could be out of date. I always think of it as about 1/5 so in that ballpark.

Made funnier by the fact whoever does the music at Arsenal is obviously a huge wrestling fan and has them come out to WWE entrance music after half time.

Not just via co-op. Silverlake (18% of City's ownership) now have a majority stake in TKO which runs WWE. So you'd expect to see some type of continued co-branding or use of the Etihad campus. You could run a Smackdown taping in co-op, PLE in the expanded Etihad once that's done, and a NXT show...

Co-op and the new expanded Etihad semi-regularly running big UK WWE/UFC PPVs would be a massive deal for that part of Manchester and the city more generally.

I mean I'm not surprised you don't watch it, but The Rock has been the biggest movie star on the planet for a decade and the next president of the United States (unless the dems replace their candidate) is likely to be a WWE Hall of Famer. Promotion is all over BT Sport on matchdays, and it's a...

That isn't how it works. They call the match in the ring. They know the spots but they're improvising as the match continues. They don't run full rehearsals so your friend was mistaken.

You had to Google what WWE is?!?!?

Yep, this is the key point. Although some of the opinions here about wrestling are fucking mad. Anyway, I liked the CM Punk one and will be wearing it next season.
