Very sad news from France this morning. Pape Diouf, Chairman of OM until fairly recently, has died of this rotten virus. Quite apart from the tragic nature of his apparently very sudden death, Marseille are the country's second biggest (arguably biggest) club. And Pape Diouf was a very high...

If it's influenced by Factory Records, then it will likely miss the deadline, come out some time in September with zero publicity and no-one will buy it (though, years later, successful designers will talk about how it inspired them to work in design). I love it.

On the other hand, if you were a Leicester fan (player even?) you'd know we're going to throw the kitchen sink at them in the second half. In moments like these, I try to remember how I feel every time they throw a hopeful ball into the box. I'm terrified they'll score. If we can get a head of...

I still checked the bench to see if he (Foden) was on it. Force of habit...

This is now my favourite thread and should, I think, be moved immediately to the Classic Thread section of the site. Sponges? Brilliant.

It'll make a change not checking to see if Diaz has made the bench any more. And hoping we get 3-0 up so he can get a run out. Wonder who will be the next in-betweener...

He (Pat Nevin) has a Durutti Column song ('Shirt No. 7') named after him, too, music fans...

If he did score it might be described as a 'Jacob's Cracker'! Have we had a Jacob in the team before?

Radio Monte Carlo

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Threa Whenever I see it, it reminds me of the top of the Statue of Liberty's head. Not having a go, or anything.

He's that rare thing, a transfer that has actually worked out well for everyone. I assume Villa were happy with the money at the time. He's won the lot with us. So he (and we) must be happy. He's been popular with his managers, the other players and most of the fans. And now he might fancy...

Nice hand shake with the ref as he was walking off. Polite young man.

Re: Bruno Zuculini Not often that I post. But i'd just like to throw my hat in with Zin and MaineRoadBlue on the the whole Zuculini interview thing. You can just tell. This guy has got what it takes. Kompany's first interview was the same.

Trumanns For Steel

Headboy good looks. Council-estate-bedroom-boy-dreamer with strong premonitional vibe. Hip. Understand women. Close acquaintance with everybody who's ever made football beautiful. Insist City only score beautiful goals. Articulate. Magmanamous. Suave. Ability to coach. Wingers? A detail. But I...

Those little chips down the line that The Kompany does after we've faffed around with it at the back for a few minutes... Apart from that, just Milner's final ball and Dzeko's first touch and we'd be OK

Ian Scott. All he ever did was those little sideways passes that are all the rage now. He was before his time. Maybe Whitey too. Imagine him in the Champions League, knocking it down the line and running his full-back. They wouldn't know what'd hit 'em. Agree with Lake.

Can we have a Truemans For Steel flag, please?

Anyone but Joe Hart, please.

Joey Beauchamp from Oxford... Also, my mate (a Mansfield fan) was once in a pub where Chris Kiwomya bought eveyone a drink claiming he'd agreed a deal to sign for City. Too strange to make up. So it proves these things do sometimes just fall through at the last minute. Probably just as well...
