Jeez. So how did Irish players like Brady & others develop if other sports were banned? Didn't the Irish also have an international football team pre-1970s. I'm genuinely intrigued, as I wasn't aware there was a football ban in Ireland.

Can I ask why?

And even with this brilliant breakdown, there's a plank who has to drop in it's City funneling in Arab oil money as to why we're financially stable & doing well. Their salty tears & bitter bile give me a warm feeling inside... :-)

The stark thing for me is I saw several things in those matches that today's Pep would've gone bonkers about. I saw patterns of play both defensively & offensively that were primitive compared to how Pep's City play. I was seriously shocked & taken aback, as I just watched the series out of...

Like millions of other fans, for varying reasons if that's better for you. I came from a non-footballing family, so as a kid I chose to support the Dippers. Why? Because they were the best in England & Europe at the time. Around age 8, my cousin asked me why I supported them & I explained. He...

Simon Stone is mostly correct. But the part about our breaches being a legal case? It's not.

Mate, I literally spoke to my former colleague who told me about this local club thing. I knew he was a Rag & originally came from Scarborough, but it never crossed my mind why he became a ManUre supporter. As for being needy for success. This fella was professionally VERY successful. As for...

I've said this before. On one of the independent sport channels on Sky, they had a series of the greatest matches, from the greatest teams. They featured Brazil 1970, Dippers 1970s, Brazil 1982, AC Milan early 90s & Pep's Barça 2010. In my honest opinion (and I don't say this lightly)...

I never realised this "local club" phenomenon existed until I spoke to a work colleague years ago who told me he was a ManUre supporter, but his local team were Scarborough. They all want to be emotionally invested in the PL & experience the big CL nights. It's realistically never gonna happen...

Fuck me! He's got it bad hasn’t he? There's no difference between this, & religious or political radicalisation. The Red Top Mafia, Spuds & their client media have got A LOT to answer for!

It's All About The Three Points To be honest, most of that display was shockingly shit! After Thursday night's heroics, no way did I expect a performance as collectively bad as this. Doku was terrible, & I was terrified he'd give away a penalty. Walker struggled like an old man at times...

Rodri's exhausted & needs help. There's nothing to say in the tougher away matches that two equally gifted No 6's can't start together. The big fear is having no Rodri replacement, then if we do, adequate game time. It's a bridge we have to cross once we've found a solution & solved the CDM...

If told we have a potential 60 matches per season & you'll play in ⅔ of them at the highest level of football, or you can go elsewhere & play 45 matches at a lower level, I know exactly where I'm going.

That's the voter register reduced by 90%. Result! :-)

Busquets wasn't being rinsed every three days in English football. Makes a huge difference...

That's it in a nutshell. The fact that every opposition fan I could be arsed to engage with don't even know what we're charged with, but are certain to the last Higgs-Boson particle in their body that we're guilty, says it all. The lot of em are braindead pricks of the highest order... The...

I responded with "I suppose off-field football matters aren't for everyone", & left it there. I couldn’t even be arsed asking who he supported tbh. Like I said, it was a pointless exercise against a braindead member...

Mate, I no longer discuss football at work, & the Rag & Dipper hordes are happy with that. When they ruled, they took the piss mercilessly, but I remained steadfast in my support of City & kept telling them I'd live to see the day when City finished above them! It was about the limit of my...

It's a fruitless exercise. Yesterday I responded to a bloke who called us "oil money cheats". I asked him if he knew what the 115 breaches were? I then explained that almost all of the alleged breaches had been thrown out by CAS, so what were the PL thinking by coming after City again over the...

It came as little surprise to me that Xavi reversed his decision to leave Barça. Knowing their days of mega money signings were over, he tried to rebuild the whole playing side of the club from the ground upward. This meant starting with La Maisa. Following Pep's lead, Xavi looked inward to...
