I'll give you that, I went and looked at 21/22 and he was in and around the squad more than I recalled. Yes I agree his progression has been different, but I still think Pep will take his time.

Everyone is desperate for this lad to succeed. Could be an enormous boost in the second half of the season if he finds his feet.

Look at palmer, foden, Lewis, bobb.... they all sit in and around the match day squad for a while, a season at least, before being integrated, and even then it's slowly slowly. Palmer didn't like it, took his chance, and ok he's taken it well. I realise McAtee has more senior experience, and...

Stonesy can add this to his Arsenal late theatrics, top man, i wonder how many injury time goals he can get this season!

yes i know you cant be offside from a corner, thanks though. I was replying to someone who suggested Bernie was offside once the ball was further away from the goal than him, in the air. which can't be right. you cannot be offside from a corner, i know.

I'm not sure that's true is it? He is only in an offside position once the ball is touched by a City player, not purely due to the swing of the ball going behind him? he is in a state awaiting to be called. Schrodingers Bernie. (think of a player unmarked on the back post at a corner, receiving...

i hope Bobb gets back to full fitness and form, he was looking really bright before he got injured, he could be just what we need on the right

i wonder why coaching staff aren't restricted by nationality, for the national teams? and to be clear, I do not care if it's an English person or someone from Mars, but i wonder why nationality restrictions only relate to the actual players, and not the coaching set up? what is the reasoning?

talking of luck, or jammy last minute winners etc as we used to call them, i've had a very interesting change in perspective over the last ten years about United's long history of last second winners. I'm not referring to 'Fergie Time' which did seem to be a nefarious thing, but more that better...

this probably isnt the thread for this, but all you are doing is labelling the improbable outcome as 'luck' (which you state), but equally you could say that calling it luck is superfluous, it happens occasionally, mathematically.

I think the only debating point around our winning goal was the role of Bernie on the keeper upto and during the delivery, the question of line of sight was completely dismissed (correctly) as he was well out of the way. I personally didn't see much beyond very normal keeper/player tussling...

i feel a bit for Erling in games like that - Wolves sat so deep there is simply no space for a striker of his type to run into, his entire game is flipped from being productive, mobile and constantly eyeing space to being simply a big man to absorb defenders. That was literally his role, to...

He better not be breaking in training

Not to be for England this time. Can't win em all. In other news, India all out for 46!! At home!!

I think this season we'll do the Legal Treble: APT Case, the 115 and City vs B Mendy. Slam Dunk, all 3, beers on the bus by Spring, Lord Pannick at the wheeeeeelllll......

nice. Can i afford a random midweek trip to Lisbon on expensive air fares....it'd be good fun though

am i right in thinking Sporting tickets go on sale to Cityzens today? how many are left, can anyone see? (I can't)

the new format is pretty unwieldy, but i don't get some of the rosey memories for the previous format? Previously, as a Pot 1 team, you generally got one decent-ish team home and away (Pot 2 - or not so decent if you were 'lucky') and 4 fixtures against a couple of teams you should probably get...

would likely have made a 1000 with the style earlier in the day, but they accelerated for quick runs to give time for a possible win. Credit to them.

these two (409*) are 40 away from the largest ever recorded 4th wicket partnership (449) - and i think 3 away from England's largest ever partnership
