    General Videogame Thread

    I was, but finding people to do Raids and Strikes with was such a pain that I gave up (no proper matchmaking facility, and none of my mates have the game). So, if you fancy playing and kind find one or two more to join, I'm game.

    Allardyce leaves job after Telegraph sting

    1) No, he said it was possible (which we all know) 2) Who hasn't slagged off their employers?! 3) Because he was atrocious 4) To which he added that any arrangement would have to be cleared by the FA The only thing he is guilty of here is showing a lack of class and being his usual big-headed...

    Aleksandar Kolarov - 2016/17 performances

    Without meaning to piss on this bonfire too much, it's worth remembering that these peaks and troughs have been a regular pattern with Kolarov. Average first season; very good during first title; terrible in Mancini's sacking season; revived world-beater in Pellergrini's first; then utterly...

    Derby post match thread 10/09/2016

    I thought so at first, but to be fair it would be difficult to convey our first half performance through highlights. There weren't that many chances or incidents in the half - just us making them chase shadows for 40 minutes, passing it around for fun. As beautiful as it was to watch live, it's...

    Nicolas Otamendi - 2016/17 performances

    Absolute trooper today. Zabba-esque. Passing was good and his defending was even better. However, I wish he would cut out all the histrionics. I'm sick of seeing him rolling about every time he gets touched, because a) sometimes he seems to think about diving before defending and occasionally...

    Derby post match thread 10/09/2016

    This from Phil McNulty, BBC Sport chief football writer: "Manchester United's fans have been left stunned by that goal from Kevin de Bruyne after they had made such a bright start." A few shots from long distance on the occasional break, whilst we absolutely pummelled them. I don't think anyone...

    Keith Vaz...

    When I first heard he'd been in a Sunday Mirror expose, I assumed it was of this nature. Just my assumption, of course. Cos...allegedly...etc...for any lawyers reading.

    Slovakia v England match thread

    For me, this is the strangest and most worrying part of what he said. Yes, international football is different to the PL in terms of pace and style, but I still can't see how a player's experience at playing international football should trump a manager's experience in coaching at club-level...

    Aguero banned for three games (updated)

    Whether Reid made a meal of it or not is irrelevant: Aguero will be judged on whether he tried to elbow Reid, not on Reid's reaction. Marriner's claim to have not seen it might seem ridiculous, but actually it's not, and we'd be foolish to use that in Aguero's defence; just because someone can...

    The most incompetent, ill written city article ever

    Spot on. Managing to loan these players out and have a portion of their wages paid should be considered a victory in light of the mistakes that have been made with contracts in the first place. A lot of people slagged off Garry Cook for the stupid wages/contracts offered to the likes of...

    Best atmospheres at City home games

    - Wigan (Div 2 Play-off semi-final) - Hamburg (UEFA Cup quarter-final, 2009) - Real Madrid (CL semi-final, 2016 - cracking pre-match and throughout first-half, but dropped in second half; only a Pellegrini team/tactics could kill an atmosphere like that)

    Aguero banned for three games (updated)

    It might be, yes. From what I can recall, it started with a staged murder in a pub and then followed the whole process of gathering and testing the eye-witness testimonies of the participants. In one part they were shown photo-fits of suspects from which they had to identify the murderer, and it...

    Aguero banned for three games (updated)

    Perception/vision is not infallible. Sometimes we can be looking right at something and not notice it or immediately forget what we saw (I remember a TV documentary a few years ago that showed how unreliable eye witness testimonies are, because of this). In normal, everyday scenarios this is...

    Etihad atmosphere

    Took the words right out of my mouth. Leicester was always poor after they left Filbert Street (save for last season) - common theme for teams that move from an old, ropey stadium to a new one. Selhurst Park is comfortably the best in the league. Used to love Upton Park and Loftus Road, but...

    "Manchester City taught me...

    ...that I prefer to be in the minority/difficult option than with the majority/easy option (i.e. growing up down south and following my dad's team rather than joining the swathes of Utd supports in these parts). Even when we were shit I was always so glad to be a blue.

    What things do you remember from Maine Road?

    - My first home game (growing up in Bedfordshire, my first game was away at Luton) - 1-0 against Tottenham, David White scored (1990, I think) - Telling Keith Curle he was my favourite player (he wasn't, but he was the only one I managed to catch that day and I wanted to say it to someone) - The...

    Joe Hart (joined Torino on season long loan - Official)

    The best part of the article is this: Stopper is angry with City for failing to allow him time to find a new club He believes Pep Guardiola decided to cut him at the end of last season So, he had 3 months and a transfer window to find a new club, and yet he is angry (or so they claim) at not...

    Joe Hart (joined Torino on season long loan - Official)

    It just feels so obvious to me that this not an issue or concern about his ability. Everyone knows he is a top, top keeper, and it's stupid to pretend otherwise. We can also be fairly confident that whatever Hart's flaws, a top coach like Pep could iron them out. So, why doesn't it? My bet...

    Joe Hart (joined Torino on season long loan - Official)

    Saw your comment. Checked the vid. Saw Joe Hart's fact at around 3:10. Disappointed. Not exactly what I'd call a 'face like thunder'; I think we're now trying to find any example of when he might be diva-like to fit this narrative of him being a right b'stard. As it happens, I believe the...
