Barc Barca (including our own Soriano and Txixi) chose a completely unproven Pep Guardiola over Jose Mourinho who had won everything.

It just makes me doubt the validity of the article if they really think Pep needs to convince our owners to keep Rodri and Haaland.

It’s good news Pep has said that as as I am sure our owners would have wanted to sell Rodri and Haaland otherwise.

Surely John Spencer is lying there, not Tom English?

I sort of knew someone would post that and you are quite correct. But history, with other players, suggests that will be the exception rather than the rule over the course of this year. Hopefully I will be wrong though and that precedent will continue.

The frustrating thing for me is we have a great complement of midfielders but some of them look tired/ out of form or both and the midfield as a whole looks like it lacks legs hence our struggles in transition. Even if it can be argued McAtee is not as good as the other midfielders I think he...

Sold for 20m in the summer and valued at 60/70 million plus a year later.

Nonsense. I’ve watched a few and they have praised City and our fans loads of time. Nothing to do with hate, they say it how they see it on the day.

Yes hopefully the opening of the Ivy will signal a change in direction for the fortunes of the town but I’m not convinced by the location. You are correct about Southbourne and Westbourne. Southbourne seems to get better and better. Obviously the beach is a fantastic draw but the main road...

Sadly Bournemouth town centre is looking a bit shabby these days and there seems a massive issue with homelessness. It’s definitely on the decline over the last few years. I think Covid has hit a lot of town centres. People working from home has impacted on shops etc and there seems a lot more...

Yes locality has nothing to do with it. You could add Paul Power, Richard Edghill and even Nicky Summerbee (family associations) to the list

I think a lot of it is due to actually caring. I’ve not watched match of the day for four weeks due to the defeats. Football should have emotion attached to it, if you win joy and if you lose tinged by sadness. Everything what has happened over the past 12 years was made much better having...

Another kid who will fall by the wayside. We seem to get so many things right but integrating the academy players we struggle with. When you consider we have had players come through our academy such as Morgan Rogers, Lavia, Palmer, Frimpong, Harwood Bellis, Bynoe-Gittens, Sancho, Tosin...

Be interesting to see if they play this wkend.

Been following this podcast for a while and it’s very entertaining as well as very informative and provides snippets of information from pretty much every corner of the globe. Great listen also is the Rest is Politics USA which I have also followed leading up to the election.

Well those were the comments from the ex-communications director, all be it briefly, in the previous Trump administration. Hopefully he can widen his knowledge and develop his understanding outside the obvious. One day he might be able to debate with someone as knowledgeable as yourself.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing of course but even before the election one of the criticisms of her campaign was there was little vision, she was not brave, there was no signature speech and on the key issues such as the economy and immigration she could not win the argument, even though the...

Well I would not want to speak for a Prime Minister who has access to much greater information than myself, but I would imagine the fact they are the biggest investor in the UK, role in NATO, intelligence sharing, situation in Ukraine etc makes the UK consider them a very important ally.

You have answered your own question. If every Pm mentions it that is a pretty good indicator of its importance.

Very true, your last paragraph highlights how low the bar is now in politics sadly. Not a criticism of Starmer by the way but just as you highlight the depressing state of politics and those governing, not just in the UK but across the globe. More than any other time, in my lifetime, we...
