I can remember when Pearce was the manager, waking up one Saturday morning and my first thought was "oh shit, I've got to go to watch City". Never had that before or since so I suppose that was the nadir of my support.

The lad is twenty years old and has come through the Academy. We're all rooting for him. But for the life of me, I can't see it. He's evidently not a defender, he isn't an attacker so he must be a midfield player. But he's not an attacking midfield player, he can't create for others or score...

It's embarrassing that, for 10 years, Stone gets the chance to ask the greatest football coach that ever lived, the first question at every press conference on behalf of what should be Britain's flagship broadcaster and behaves like a sniggering schoolboy trying to get the biology teacher to say...

The ESL would only become a success if the best teams are in it and that assumes that there is no more lucrative alternative. If FIFA came up with, say, a Club World Cup, where the prize money dwarfed that of the ESL, even if the clubs didn't follow, the players soon would. And that would kill...

Paddy McGinty's goat

I agree with you. Pitching in would be the honourable thing to do but there is no honour in football so they are being prudent, watching the battles from the sidelines and will, no doubt, suddenly get all vocal if we win the war.

The bolded line struck me. What about you ? Don't do anything  you don't want to do.

I wonder if all these shills have some sort of arrangement under which they've agreed to write the same regurgitated article one after another rather than all at once so it looks like they are coming to the same conclusion separately and based on a different set of facts.

So Pep's got exactly the same demands as the Bluemoon collective. Rings true.

The fine art is getting a partner with her own hobbies. In her case, she's got a caravan. You wouldn't catch me in it for a pension.

I'm 65 and getting married on Tuesday to my girlfriend I met online when I was 50. I was divorced at 36 and can honestly say that the 14 years after that, as a single man, were absolutely fantastic. As you get older there are more and more women looking for a solvent, articulate man. Beauty...

Indeed, I think we're witnessing the death throes of the Premier League and that the football landscape will look very different in 5 years.

The thing that stuck in my mind at that meeting was that he used two examples of how different people have different opinions on the same incident. Both involved City, one of which was Vinnie getting sent off against united for an innocuous challenge. I can't recall the other one but what stayed...

The clubs who threatened to break away resulting in the formation of the PL and who were the English representatives in the G18 that still run European football.

What strikes me with deals like that is that they are unsustainable as PSG have found out. The market adjusts itself. There's a fundamental assumption in the PL's restrictions, perpetuated by the media, that owners from one specific area of the world own clubs for vanity reasons not as...

They understand it all right. They are in the cartel's pockets.

If I was the owner of a club that had paid honest interest on its loans over the years, I'd be looking carefully at any transactions influenced by a requirement to keep within the unlawful rules and the effect that may have had on our league position. Then I'd be considering legal action against...

Twisted Sister surely ? Incidentally, now the gloves are off we should run out to that. Very topical and a good song for chanting.

I genuinely don't watch enough of other teams to know. I know we play a different, more controlled game than other teams but surely our huge squad of scouts must have identified someone with the required skillset AND pace.

A bit worrying. Absolutely skinned him at will. City desperately need some pace at full back.
