I think people are missing the fact that Newcastle were a completely different side in the second half compared to the first. And I'm not convinced it was the substitution of Sterling for Navas that made the difference - I just think Newcastle ran out of steam. In the first half, Newcastle...

Complete tosh: we can't even get the season's top scorer in the Premier league team of the season, so we have as much chance of having a City player winning any sort of award linked to a popularity contest as I have of playing in goal for us in the derby...

When Eric finally retired after working 40 years, he decided to take Elsie, his wife on a cruise. A few nights into the voyage and Elsie turns to Eric and says, "It's awfully quiet on deck tonight." Eric says, "Everyone will probably be watching the band." "There isn't a band playing tonight"...

Exactly - his ball over for the Aguero miss was brilliant. And he was a continual outlet for us throughout the whole game, while almost always absorbing 3 or 4 opponents. And I've already said before, you can see that he is learning from SIlva with some of his reverse balls , so he'll only get...

Christ on a bike. What on earth is all that nonsense in the last 10 pages? Did we play a game, or did I blunder into an EDS thread by mistake? Well, I for one, give a shit about the League Cup. Well worth the trip down from north of the wall last night, and even if we were a bit lacklustre in...

Not sure what some people want with some of the posts on here. 4-0 up away from home in a Cup tie after 35 minutes and half the team are crap? Give over! Great first half, with Fernando and de Bruyne impressing in particular. OK, we didn't go on to make it 8 in the 2nd half, but the game was...

Well, we know it goes up to 1-0.... I'm certainly not counting my chickens...

How about a weekend away at the racing? Or if you're more energetic, one of my mates had their stag weekend in the Brecon beacons in South Wales, and we went canyoning and quad-biking. Bloody brilliant.

Crikey, that's some goal by Roberts. Looked like he'd overplayed his second touch, but got there first and seemed to just magic the defenders out of his way!

Where Eagle's Dare, by a mile (although I'm no aficionado!) And a rather obscure one worth a watch: Operation Daybreak (with Martin Shaw as a Czech resistance fighter based on the true story of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, with an almighty siege shoot-out at the end)

I think "fawning over our team" is taking it a bit far. Perhaps they should be, but they are not; most of the media is trying to ignore us. OK, so it's not as bad as attacking us, but ignoring us sends a pretty clear message about where editors' allegiances lie. Take the BBC sport web-site: not...

MOTD would appear to be in a parallel universe.... Just watched the highlights on the City website, and they largely supported the statistics from the game - that City created lots more chances, had far more shots than Palace, had the majority of possession. So what on earth was MOTD showing...

Seems a weird thread to me. Who's to say we'll ever do it. A league title was unimaginable 10 years ago, and a second title just 2 seasons later was astounding, but perhaps we might never win another again. Yes, it would be disappointing, but to really have the arrogance to think we'll still...

I noticed that too. And a couple of clever reverse balls too, which Silva does so well.

I pretty much agree with your comment on Shaw. Only Shaw and Joe had good games last night, although Kane looked OK when he came on, and caused the game to change. But, I would also point out that Sterling was the only England player to be criticised - not all the time, I agree, and he also got...

Thanks. It's a bit clearer now! Just need to make a decision what to get, now. Quite fancy the jag XF, but it feels a bit unreal that I could afford one!

OK, I'm digging up this old topic, because I'm hoping someone could give me some advice... I'm in a slightly different situation to the OP, but the questions I have are kind-of related. So, the company I work for currently provides me with a company car, on which I currently pay around...

Nice to see that Milner's a starter again.... And Sterling and Delph are not....
