    25 | Gianluigi Donnarumma - 2025/26

    I hadn’t a clue in the stadium but Donna was making it very clear what he thought and the TV footage proves he was correct. Absolutely scandalous officiating given the availability of VAR. Teams are targeting Gigi’s at corners to try and make him make an error like yesterday, because it has...

    47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

    Gifted and hardworking, it’s a lovely combination.

    Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    City didn’t need to press hard in the last 20 minutes. Waste of energy. Get in shape and try to make them play in their own half. Bournemouth had more slightly more possession than City yesterday but the ball spent a fair bit longer in their final third than ours.

    Yeah, and his wife is a Manc. However, Bayern have got him on a long contract for a reason, to ward us off (or get a lot of compensation). Pep is still close to senior people at Bayern and I think to Vinny. I would not rule out another Pep extension if the team develops in the way he wants.

    Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Your comment on Sav highlights one of the issues with what some supporters base opinions on; albeit Sav did have far too many hopeless moments yesterday. However, it is often the really good and really bad that lodges in people’s brain, and then some will tell you that stats are useless and...

    Bournemouth (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Bournemouth and their very astute manager are poster boys for the new way of playing and they are a tough opponent but what we saw today was that high quality technical players following the old school Pep way of doing things can still come out on top, which is why Pep insisted prematch that he...

    Swansea City (A) | EFL Cup | Post Match Thread

    1974 was my first final / Wembley trip. The only visits to Wembley by City that I missed since then were a couple due to Covid restrictions, so that includes one League Cup final. All the League Cup Final wins I have seen have been very enjoyable. I love winning it but I wouldn’t be bothered...

    Swansea City (A) | EFL Cup | Post Match Thread

    Yeah. There’s room for improvement but we totally dominated that game. They had two shots, one a worldie and on a gift. There’s goals in our team nad there were more positives than negatives. Every game Pep will be learning more about this set of players. His problem is fitting his best...

    We have a manager that talks about taking an extra touch.

    I’ll let you work that out for yourself.

    Aversion to shooting but we still had 24 shots (well above average) against a team that parked the bus.

    Swansea City EFL Cup Rd of 16 (A) | Man of the Match

    Cherki clear winner. He’ll be even better when he improves his decision making. I didn’t think he should have played that long ball in the build up to his goal but Josko got him out of jail and set up a goal that his performance deserved. Nico very good, again. Bobb again did not do enough.

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    Never pick an album for the points. My best points score was a complete surprise to me. DSoTM is a great choice and may have inspired my next pick. I have a fairly long list, in my head (must write it down), of albums that I would like to review. I have picked several off with my pieces on...

    The Album Review Club - Week #191 (page 1286) - Harlequin Dream - Boy & Bear

    If the cover was on a crap album, it wouldn’t be iconic but I am sure that they could have picked very many alternative covers that would not have been so iconic. I could be wrong but I doubt many people consider the cover of, say, “Thriller”, iconic; I know I don’t. Can’t say that I have ever...

    Rock Evolution – The History of Rock & Roll - 1984 - (page 198)

    I'm doing 1984, so you can have it as a free pick then.

    I do try to be polite to people on here most of the time but I have to concede that you are correct in this instance and I should just have pointed out the absolute stupidity of that poster’s comment.

    Interesting take given that Lando increased his lead over Max in the championship. Lando won on every level.

    Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Things have changed and it would be more difficult for those players now. I would love to see Yaya and David Silva at their best in the current squad, of course. We are not going to see the kind of bravura football with the regularity we once did because of changes our opponents have made and...

    He was one of our best players. He can do better.
