Bring back Humphreys - all is forgiven!

Lovely tribute mate. Couldn’t agree more…apart from the big moment goals what was probably more impressive was how he carried himself especially last season as one classy captain & individual. He was exactly who we needed as a captain to win the treble with the bunch of players & run in we...

Possibly but reading his official farewell letter (https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/ilkay-guendogan-manchester-city-premier-league-la-liga-barcelona-soccer) it does seem he had a life long dream to play for Barca so maybe don't put too much weight on the tabloid gossip & clickbait...

Looks like a very skilful & intelligent player - are there any City links to this chap? Spoke to a few of the locals when in Istanbul & they were raving about him.

One of the very few regrets I had in Istanbul :-) Indeed should have popped by & said hello to you fella - maybe at the Eithad next season! You should have heard some of the stories on food & drink at the stadium. Some lads sitting next to me returned after HT shocked at learning some staff...

Should have mentioned earlier I managed to get a glimpse of the ubiquitous @Ric before the game whilst you were standing in what seemed an eternity at the drinks & food concession stand. Only clocked when a lady went over to hug you & rejoined at the back stating you had helped her out on a...

tbf - I was fortunate enough to cram in some sightseeing during the trip. If you managed to drag yourself away from the lively Nevizade street & chaotic Taksim area there were some beautiful areas in Istanbul. Stumbled across Gulhane Park which was next to Topkapi Palace & it was like an oasis...

All I can say for the lucky folk who managed to make the trip is this was one hellva of an adventure & experience I probably won't forget for the rest of my life! Probably like many others it was my first time visiting Istanbul & the city certainly lived up to the cliche East meets West. At...

echo the same words. I was (mistakenly) apprehensive of bumping into them when I decided to take the metro back into the centre after the game. This was in large part due to arriving at our 'designated' transport bus area which seemed to resemble more of a scene out of The Hunger Games. The...

Funny story…well I can laugh now. I made my way to this gate departure (I think it was F5B) only to be told at the gate that this wasn’t my flight as there was another 14:55 flight to Heathrow which of course was located at the other side of the terminal- cue me legging it like Kyle Walker just...

Anyone done the metro route instead of taking the buses from Yenikapi? If so is it quicker?

Sounds like you were in the wrong/quiet area. Get yourself down to Nevizade Street where it was busy last night & will be packed tonight. Although it seems the area is across the bridge from where you seem to be staying.

Seems like you’re one of the first Blues out there - hope you’re enjoying yourself! Quick question which maybe you can answer later on is whether you can use your debit/credit card to use the metro a bit like the tap in & tap out over here or as I think kerem mentioned a while back you need to...

The ticket isn’t stored on your phone like your City ticket on Apple wallet or Google pay. As the UEFA video illustrates you need to have the UEFA Tickets app displaying the ticket open with Bluetooth on when you reach the first stadium check where only then they will activate the ticket. So...

Flights & accommodation sorted in Taksim arriving Thursday evening....single & ready to mingle in Istanbul...just don't tell the missus ;-) Anyone up for a drink or do I need to head down to the square & follow the stream of police sirens herding everyone in!

PMd you - twas a good Saturday indeed!

Love it, love it, love it!!!! Wearing my City shirt down the shops with pride this morning & the sun is shining ladies & gents! What a time to be a Blue & we were everywhere on & off the pitch at Wembley. Went with neutral colours yesterday as didn’t want to deal with the unnecessary aggro...

This may come in use next week to mitigate the extortionate roaming charges.

Love to share your optimism tolm but that’s just not me. And I’ll be the same nervous wreck in Istanbul too!

@kerem gokmen Any recommendations for good value Turkish breakfasts? I'm sure some of us will feel peckish in the morning after the beer consumption!
