I'm loving this game - it makes the misery of this thread all the more entertaining

Nunes brilliant to watch so far. Well done to him.

I thought that their left-back was very good indeed.

2-0 Sporting. They are dangerous on the break.

The Mail are now leading with 'The Full Story of Charles' Cancer Battle'. Rarely are the Machiavellian workings of our press laid out so clearly, and so shamelessly.

The alternative is worse...only if you allow it to be. It looks like the monarchy has, once again, been called out, and I am pleased. Through much of my life they have managed to quash scrutiny through their special relationship with the press: a mutual, back-scratching convenience. I hope this...

Never lose the enthusiasm - the merest chance of an academy player making it to the top of world football is an absolute thrill.

Patience from us, and dedication and humility from him, and there's a chance. To be playing for the EDS at 16 and looking comfortable takes some doing. Ben Wilkinson singling him out for serious praise is also quite unusual. I think it is worth also noting that his brother, Jaden, played in more...

A true great in a difficult moment because of the reasons for his greatness: small squad of exceptional quality; stubborn adherence to footballing principles; loyalty to key players; unwillingness to take risks with young talent. At a time of significant injury issues, those exceptional...

A bad day for a team that looked ponderous compared to a foe etched with vitality. Right across the pitch, we were slower than the opposition, slow to react, slow to get back, and slow with the ball. Ake looked poor for such a top player, and Akanji has (for several weeks) avoided anything other...

Great cameo, shame it came too late.

I marvel at his potential.

Tica-taca?

I think they call it Goldbridging!

The same post appeared on my Twitter feed. I get most things linked to City because of who I follow.

He's been at the club for a long, long time and has always been highly regarded. He is a front foot defender with good technique and an ability to bring the ball out of defence and release it with accuracy. He definitely has a shot at a successful career in the game. He is also very strongly...

I am pleased that Nunes is doing well - it helps the team and helps him to feel a part of it. His assist levels are excellent, and he has scored a few too. We are hard on wingers. We want a player who can beat a man, get to the byline, and whip it in for big Erl' to bang it into the back of the...

I am always somewhat amused at the notion of a self-proclaimed saviour of the rest of the world, and proclamations of evil from elsewhere. It always seems like a self-fulfilling, self-aggrandising gesture, and a profitable one at that. You see, if I proclaim swathes of the globe as evil and out...

I liked his movement very much - always offering an outlet.

A top quality young player. Expectations of a world-class defender at 19 are ignorant; he is doing brilliantly. Show me a human being who makes no mistakes at 19 and I'll show you someone who does nothing.
