Well, quite: Farah's won two Olympic golds in 2016, his 3rd and fourth in total. And to be a bit pedantic, both Williams sisters have won 4 Olympic gold medals in tennis. I agree Murray is the best tennis player we've had post-war by a country mile, and arguably one of the finest sportsmen we...

hmm... probably David James...

Studied in Norwich, and used to go and watch them from time-to-time (a bit "glory-hunting" to be honest, as I was there when they had their UEFA Cup run!). They had some good players, but I especially liked Darren Eadie. Had a soft spot for them because they were another "City", they were the...

Would rather Mo Farah had won it, but can see why Andy Murray did. Mo Farah has done something no other athlete has ever done, winning double gold at two consecutive Olympics and two consecutive World Championships. OK, Andy Murray has done something no other Brit has done, getting to World...

Three of us used to go out for beers and a curry once a week, and we almost always drank 5 pints. One of the three was a right tight arsed git (from Yorkshire) and I cannot remember him ever buying two rounds on one of these nights out in the 5 or 6 years we went out. And he always grumbled...

Excellent!

Haha! Exactly, same here. I think I remember having all 8 rice puddings on my table at Junior school! That was before they started allowing kids to ask for "just the jam, please"!

Hehe! Aye, spent a good hour checking my grammar and punctuation...

Well, for starters, we scored first, so we weren't ever two down. And Bayern were down to 10 men for a lot of the game, so perhaps understandably faded towards the end of the game. And our 2nd and 3rd goals came from mistakes by two different Bayern players. AN unexpected turnaround for us...

Liverpool and Chelsea both looking quite settled, but not invincible, and considering City aren't showing the same consistency but we're still only just behind those two teams, we're in a good position in terms of the league. I think it is quite telling, though, that the top two teams don't have...

Bloody hell. WHoever says advertising doesn't work, I'm off to get myself a few nice German Weissbier for tonight....

So, assuming his agent is not responsible for the apology, who is? Has Yaya sneakily got himself a new agent or adviser without telling Seluk (I hope so)? The wording of the apology is very "PR speak", so it must have been put together for him by someone. I'm not criticising Yay's command of...

Even lower in the mirror. The entire back 4 were scored as 6s! Ridiculous. But strangely satisfying!!! What a night! We completely battered Barcelona! Yes, just read that back. City battered Barcelona! Every player to a man was at his very best for most of the game, and also delivered tactical...

It's a bit irritating, but I'm not sure the guy can help it really. Having said that, I still find it bizarre that the highlights on City's own web-site seem to feel the need to be even-handed. So this week, we see pretty much all of West Brom's half-chances. To be honest, unless it's a goal or...

Some positives for me: - the first time we didn't seem overawed being on the same pitch as Barcelona - we matched them for possession and (in the 1st half) created more (and better) chances - we stifled their creativity with our high pressing, and forced lots of errors (how many times did ter...

If it is true that £2bn has been invested, then it's surely good business, as the end result is a club worth £3bn, taking the Chinese investment figures as an estimate of value. That's a 50% return

I had to chuckle: Radio 2 was also jumping on the "biggest game of the season" and "biggest rivalry in football" nonsense this morning! Admittedly one of the people saying it was celebrity Rag Chris Evans, but it's like the old adage that if you say something often enough, eventually everyone...

Makes me smile to see people saying he's a future England captain! And if he himself has ideas in that direction, someone should've told him which team he was joining. The chances of a City player being made permanent captain of England these days is lower than zero! The FA will always want a...

And another great Unlucky Alf sketch... the Fast Show at its self-confident best, making a sketch that long with nothing actually happening, and with even with the punch-line given away right at the start, but it's a comedy classic
