I don’t think he is thick but get the impression he has not styled himself as a person to really get involved in the meatier debates on football. Probably like a lot of us he just wants to discuss the sport, and stays clear of the financial side, FFP, complexities of ownership/sponsorship etc...

None of that really makes him a twat though does it? Many blues thought Foden should have been played more regularly and now more centrally. It’s the beauty of football we all see it differently. He is also very positive about City, Pep, the football etc.

Not that I disagree with the last two paragraphs but the first paragraph was exactly what I was trying to describe. It’s an incredible mentality/mindset that winners tend to have. Thanks for putting my thoughts across more eloquently.

10k today. Ran the first 8 conservatively, with a quicker 9th K and then finished with a 3:29, 10th K which was completely flat out. New trainers so wanted to test them out. Felt very tired this week so dropped the number and duration of runs. My own fault as you need to organise yourself and...

Yes true, each to their own. I will probably always have an affinity based on a boyhood blue, helping us life our title in 44 years and his performance in the 6-1. Its funny the people who work with him, from the outside looking in, seem to really like him and have a real affection for him...

What ever it is Madrid have you cannot help but admire it. I remember reading ‘fear and loathing in la liga’ and it talked about the history of Madrid and even back in the 50/60s they had this reputation for managing to win matches and staging comebacks almost a feeling they were never going to...

Trail/Ultra running. Brilliant way to get out into nature, visit new and beautiful parts of the country you have not seen before but with the added bonus it will keep you fit and it will positively impact on other parts of your life such as stress levels, overall wellbeing and provoke you to...

Well it puts to bed the nonsense that he has been trying to hide his split loyalties as does his comments on the rest is football podcast. As for the rest as I said earlier his punditry is not my bag but he still comes across as a very cheerful, fun, positive individual who is very difficult to...

its an utter nonsense. Back in 2007 he gave interviews about how he was an Arsenal fan. This ‘hiding’ his allegiance is, for some, just another thing to attack him about.

And? Should I care? He clearly has a love for City based on his life here as a kid and giving him the best footballing moments of his career. You do know the current squad has more than a few players who grew up supporting other sides. I heard on the grapevine Pep is a Barca fan.

He gets ribbed all the time on his podcast about his ‘mutual’ allegiance so it’s hardly a big expose in the courtroom. Don't agree with everything Micah says and would not choose him to provide any deep football analysis but from his tv persona, ex boyhood blue, part of the 2012 squad, he...

Yes I can only agree with that view. As you know I do a bit of running like yourself and even at club running level I have pretty much given up drinking due to its effect on performance and that is a world away from playing at elite level, drinking a week before a cup final, where fine margins...

Well done to all who attended, great effort. Ive just about recovered from the disappointment of yesterday. Hearing a good turnout and blues showing their true colours is a great tonic.

That bar is called the concourse in south stand level 3. Were there also lots of other staff just standing around looking bored and disinterested?

Again completely agree, what cup competition isnt. Including the Champions League for that matter. It’s the emotion, history, tradition, nostalgia which makes it special and why it’s perceived different to other national cup competitions.

I would not argue that those two are above it for many and I don't think the world looks on in amazement but football is about feeling and emotion and the FA Cup, whether its nostalgia or not, draws out those emotions in an incredible number of people. So you can try and find reasons to devalue...

Come on think about it. I am clearly comparing to other nations cup finals.

Cannot agree with that. The value of a cup competition is determined by what it means to people, the fact you consider it overrated highlights to many it still means a hell of a lot to people. Could not agree more. Just to add removing the tradition is eroding it. Should be last game of the...

The tradition and history of the FA Cup us what makes the tournament so special and why winning it means much more than winning, for example, the Carabao cup. Its the best Cup competition in the world and the modern gimmicks do nothing to add value to it.

Always a strange day the cup final, seen more fall outs between blues on cup final day than all the other matches I have attended put together. I think it proves that for a lot of folk ale and football is not a great combination.
