I am not sure that City need a rebuild beyond the annual refashioning of the squad. However the increased number of potential fixtures needs to be addressed. There will be an extra two CL group stage matches next season. City haven’t been in an FA Cup replay in many years so no gain there. The...

Why not the V-sign using two hands?

Rubbish. They won bugger all in 2001, 2011, and 2021 (not to mention 1931). That is unless you count the Vodacom Challenge won in 2011? Plenty of so called 'smaller clubs' including Ipswich Town, Derby County, Nottingham Forest, Leicester City, and Blackburn Rovers have all won League titles...

Alan Pardew? Tony Pulis? Harry Redknapp?

I have always been conflicted about Everton fans. Back in the 1960s, when City were relegated I tended to hope that Everton would win as opposed to United, Liverpool, Burnley. Leeds, etc. Then City drew Everton in the Cup QF in 1966. It was an epic tie, 0-0 at Maine Road, 0-0 at Goodison after...

They should follow the IMDB ratings for Spinal Tap and score out of 11.

Klopp's intensive style usually ran the team into the ground and it took a year to recover before taking another shot. It was the case at Liverpool and before that at Borussia Dortmund particularly in hos final season there.

Not to mention Brentford, Bournemouth, Fulham, and Wolves.

Sunderland for me. Back in the day I used to hate Sunderland. That probably stemmed from a visit there to a match on New Year’s Eve in 1966. It was a Saturday match and the pubs still shut at 10:30. Some of our pals had headed south after the match and stopped at Pontefract where they had...

Liverpool's trophies are far too valuble to display. Most of the are antiques!

I made it to a Second Tier match against Bolton in the 1990s. Bobby Johnstone was present and giving his farewell to Manchester as he was returning to the Scottish Borders. Kinkladze scored a wonderful goal for City but Bolton came back to win 2-1 on their way to promotion. The Bolton fans sang...

Compare that to Newcastle in 1968. City needed to win away to edge out United, City were 1-0 up then pegged back to 1-1. Then it went 2-1 and 2-2. City edged ahead 3-2 and then 4-2, before Newcastle came back to make it 4-3. At the time few in the stadium were aware that Sunderland had won at...

Obviously he is a Wimbledon fan.

He could audition for a remake of Mr Ed?

You don’t need to be even left of centre to appreciate that the Telegraph is an awful rag.

As long as they don't also recruit Richard Freeman with his supply of Jiffy Bags?

That is not correct. The Leeds team were perfectly capable of playing great football. Unfortunately, Don Revie would not allow them to do so.

Wash your mouth out!

He's as bad as his grandad Harry. And he spent spent most of his time with his hand up a puppet.

You remind me of Senna the Soothsayer in Up Pompeii.
