Last night I took my son to see Saint Etienne (our French team, we're based in France, OK?) play Monaco. They (we, sort of) lost 1-4. In any case, ask anyone in France to name the grounds with the best atmosphere. And Saint Etienne will be in the top five. Thing is, their fans (incidentally...

Jamie Hoyland?

Posh sounding name.

Might be reading too much into this. But, to judge by the photos on the official site from training sessions, his body language seems very positive. Looks happy. I expect his English has come on no end in one year. And he seems to be interacting with more of the English-born players. Just...

On telly it (the home kit) looks like watching City in 1982, which I like.

The Ginger Prince.... brought to you via the magic of Lunewyre! Preferred Kid Tempo myself. Mind, he might have a point about Ward Prowse and his set-pieces. Anyone who could take a penalty would be a step up, though.

I doubt he'll ever play for us - though he does look exciting. I suppose the wider point is that there are players out there who most of us have never heard of. So, whoever we're after at the moment (and may or may not end up signing), there will always be another one along soon enough.

I didn't really like him. Can't explain it. Just didn't.

Gave me flashbacks to Ged Taggart against Blackburn all those years ago...

Going back to the original point, it will be interesting to see to what (if any) extent Zin's emergence as a sort of 'touch player' responsible for keeping the ball moving and retaining shape etc. (as distinct from conventionally recognizable full-back skills) will reinvent the role. Could start...

Very sad news. My condolences.

I loved that Cup Final team. To this day, I remember PIN numbers based on the shirt numbers of the players from that match. In many ways, this is what Bluemoon is all about, isn't it? I came on here tonight thinking I'd wallow in the post-match glow of another (away) win (we've just beaten...

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet. But there was a moment when Walker kept the ball in (play) 'in extremis' with a sort of back heel that was followed by one of those 50-pass moves resulting in that chance that Mahrez crossed towards Foden. Credit to the Villa defender who got back and...

It would be typical if we finally(ish) won the Chumps League this year just when it becomes the equivalent of the League Cup...

Genuine question: has any other City player ever scored and then run off, snatched his shirt off and then twirled it around in the air like that? Obviously, it's a rhetorical question. Sergio did because he could. He was (is) a superstar.

What a great player. Thank you, Sergio. The only consolation for me (apart from hoping he moves abroad) is that his position sort of no longer exists. Pep's dream of sending out a team of midfielders and all that... We do seem more of a threat when we've just got midfielders everywhere. Total...

Imagine the same reaction to a goal now with VAR...

Slim fit, though. Just saying...

That second touch (after his one-two with The Ginger Prince) for his goal...

I thought the 'Messi Mambo/It's Quiet' tag team was bad enough. But that was nothing compared with this Koulibaly/Gimenez/Carlos/Koundé and now Dias (plus, inexplicably, the Garcia thing) threads. Crazy!
