Would Pep be prepared to sacrifice some width in midfield, and have one of the full-backs provide it, to play both Phil and Rayan C. in the middle? I think both Nico O. and Rayan A-N have the ability to play further up the pitch and provide cover in defence, but whether Pep will try that...

I think we have found Kevin's natural successor in the central attacking rôle. Phil had an off season last term, as did most of the squad, for reasons that have been discussed at length in other threads, but he looks, if not back to his best, then very close to it. He’s 25 now, and he is ready...

Philip.

It’s something that you often see at German football games. It’s part of their football culture.

One of his reasons for joining Littlewoods was that he wanted to win trophies.

What was lucky about the first three goals?

I thought we were excellent. Yes, Dortmund had the majority of the possession in the first 15-20 minutes, but they did very little with it, and rarely threatened to score. Once Phil put us in front, there was only ever going to be one winner. He was excellent throughout, as were many others...

What? He was brilliant. Sav had the Dortmund RWB shitting himself every time he had the ball. Savinho utterly destroyed him. If you don’t think Savio had a good game, maybe you’re watching the wrong sport.

Some very good performances throughout the team, but Phil scored two brilliant goals, and his general play was excellent. Savinho, Erling and Jérémy among others, who were also outstanding.

Mrs Vienna told me that she was nearly punched for sticking up for Ian Bowyer back in the late '60s or early '70s by some thug, who along with quite a sizeable chunk of City supporters, thought he wasn’t good enough, and booed him regularly. Ian was deemed not good enough, though he was being...

You really did. And you dealt with every player he/she mentioned in a far better way than I could have. I’d forgotten that some of those you talked about had been booed by us. I've heard other fan bases booing returning players, and I can never understand why they would do that. I don’t think...

A brilliant riposte, Paul. Take a bow, lad.

He also said he’d never dreamed that he would become a knight. Another fucking lie. He’s been dreaming about it for years and years.

I must admit, I don’t think Pep will go beyond his current contract, but you never know. Another factor no one has mentioned is Carla. How much would she love to come back to Manchester? And how much would she love to see Vinnie as head coach of her beloved City? I know these two are very much...

Isn’t it a thing of great joy that both Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund have done much better from Jaded than the rags?

FOYS!

You’ve only just realised?

Media whoring?

Contracts can be compensated. And what’s to say Pep won’t renew, until 2029, when Vinnie will be available without having to compensate the German rags?

Those questioning Vinnie's readiness for such a high-profile job as Bayern are looking a little foolish now, to say the least.
