And we ended up losing David Bernstein as a result. It all worked out in the end, of course, but at the time he was important to us and a top guy, too. I remember an episode of Inside City during our 2012 summer tour. They were playing a training match and Johnson was mouthing off at Mancini...

I'm pretty sure this would have been done by some young 'social media' intern or low-paid employee. I remember last year there was an article on the BBC website about Sterling; it was the most laughably biased thing I'd ever read - bitter, nasty and full of the usual cliches that accompanied...

Stuart Pearce: met him when he was playing for us and he was a complete arsehole, definitely had a screw loose; and probably one of the worst managers working in English football - how he keeps getting considered for jobs is beyond me. Sturridge: that 'dance' about sums him up. Wayne Bridge...

This represented one the worst days of my life. I was about the same age as you and growing up in Bedfordshire meant that I was surrounded by Utd fans at school. There were 5 city fans; me and my brother, and my best mate and his siblings. Their parents (the dad played for City reserves in 70S)...

Don't worry, looks like Josh was there that day.

Same for me. Having missed the Stoke final because I was away, I was so excited for this one. A chance to be there to see us life the FA Cup, I thought - it was only Wigan, after all. Turned out to be an absolute shambles. My family and I then had to hop on a plane to Cyprus just a few hours...

So many to pick from but Palace away 2013/14 really stands out, for me. Day got off to a great start as my mate, who lived in Wimbledon at the time, came to the game straight from playing footy in the morning. Lost his house key and so had to come to the game dressed in his full kit, shin pads...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcthree/item/3ba884ee-f70c-4d8e-93e2-4dfa81aaa0ad Has anyone seen this on the BBC website? It's Brede Hangeland offering his assessments of other footballers' 'laziness'. It's quite funny, but I place laziness in inverted commas because it's apparent that his sole...

They could, but then they would be more at the mercy of commercial pressures were they to be made for commercial channels: they'd take less creative risks and stick to lowest-common-denominator populism; and they would certainly have content cut if the advertisers didn't like it (look at South...

Which would be horrendous. Commercialism does bad things to television and to creativity. You only have to look at America and many channels there; like Comedy Central, where advertisers started to put pressure on programme makers to cut out jokes about their products which we being advertised...

It's great, but it can be a little unforgiving for foreigners (it's not like with other countries that use the alphabet, where you can at least hazard a guess at what you're reading on menus and signs!). If you can meet up with someone who lives there and can act as a guide, or go with someone...

Wouldn't disagree with that. Never saw Bell in my lifetime so can't comment on him. Yaya is obviously immense but I think there have been a fair few notable occasions of him ambling about the pitch; even when Silva isn't at his best he is still a grafter, always trying to get on the ball. Plus...

Saw it on Saturday and I thought it was excellent. So much better than Force Awakens, too - if only Edwards had directed that as well. FA was just one deus ex machina after another. Even in fantasy (which SW is; it's not sci-fi) you have to stick to the rules. By all means decide what those...

I've avoided the news and forums this weekend because I wanted to take a bit of time to calm down, but I'm still mightily pissed off about Saturday and I am really quite embarrassed by what happened at the end of that game. Yes, there were a few wrong calls from the ref but he wasn't the reason...

In case you needed any more reminding of what a shitbag Harry Redknapp is, just watch and listen to this: Bear in mind that he's talking here about a guy who was building a decent career at Portsmouth, who was settled (probably with his family, too) and was happy. The way Redknapp talks...

Always baffles me. At West Brom there were two blokes standing behind us who moaned throughout, which bizarrely peaked when we were 3-0 up! My mate even asked them straight what the hell was wrong with them. I always seem to be sat in front of these people, and the weird thing is that they're...

Absolutely not. I'm a Bowie obsessive - even in my own embarrassing days as a terrible musician, I modelled my stage persona on Ziggy Stardust. But as good as Man Who Sold The World is, I just think the Nirvana version sounds better - the hooks are played better, the guitars a layered better...

Are you seriously likening Deftones - easily one the best alt.metal bands ever - to the Sugarbabes?!

Me too. In fact, I can't stand him. He goes to ground too often and dives into challenges, either committing fouls or making a fool of himself as the opposing player skips past him. He is prone to play-acting, which is embarrassing at times (especially when he suddenly bounces up to remonstrate...

Was driving up to a roundabout on a dual carriageway this morning and saw in my mirror some flashy white sports car hacking along and weaving behind me. Get to the queue at the roundabout and he pulls up alongside me, holding his phone to his ear and chatting away. I look at him and he's some...
