Granted he's not played for a long while but anytime he comes on, he looks dreadful. He made the game look hard last night when he came on. The Academy lads looked better than he did, an experienced international. I don't know what's up with him but it's getting harder to think of a scenario...

Any Derby game is a toss-up and they have a good record at ours and I'd say Napoli were extremely well set up against us and are a good team. Once they had the player sent off, that was it then went to bus parking. It looks something special from Foden/Haaland to unlock them. Ok it's not...

It's been a mixed bag for me but with more positives than negatives.. Spurs and Brighton was frustrating and looked like a carry on from last season. However, Wolves, United, Napoli and Arsenal have shown a combination of our 'old' style and this new more direct style which looks far better for...

I thought Pep got the tactics spot on to be honest. Arsenal away, on the back of a tricky Derby game then Napoli asked a lot of our players especially when many of them won't have had a good pre-season with that Club Cup etc on and international breaks. If we'd gone 0-2 up then I think...

Gutted I didn't get a spot in the GNR, does anyone know if basically buying a membership if the only other way to do it (don't fancy doing the sponsorship route)? I love running in the rain and did a 15k yesterday but can feel it a bit today!

Went last night to the Manchester game and it was brilliant. Looks like BBL folded and now it's Super League Basketball who do the league now. I suspect there just isn't an easy way to make money in the league which is odd given how popular it is. There is definitely a market for basketball...

It's got to be said @mrbelfry your reviews are absolutely superb! Weather I agree with them or not is another thing but they are always brilliant! I honestly think "Friends music" has become one of the best phrases to come off this thread as well ha ha!

That would be great if they can fill it, it would be good if they could work with the BBL to keep the MCR team going too! :)

Had a listen today whilst on my walk and definitely could hear the Elvis Costello voice, which is one I do like. I'll be honest, I couldn't hear any Buddy Holly or The Beatles in there though, he might've well said he was influenced by Pavarotti and Dianna Ross!! I'm not a huge fan of this type...

This is quite interesting as our son plays basketball and we go to see the Manchester Giants/Manchester Basketball quite a few times a season. The games are played at the National Basketball Centre in Belle Vue (new season starts tomorrow!). The British Basketball League seems to have a few...

Long story but I ended up going to the Barcelona v Zenit (think it was) a good few years ago and we got the train from Nice to Monaco. The train was fine as you would expect, but there was quite a few people getting pickpocketed on there including my Dad. They were seriously good and managed to...

He's doing really well at Everton and good luck to him. This might sound awful, but he needs to be a big fish in a small pond and he's found his level. He will be great for Everton as he won't be facing 10 players in the box every week. If he keeps it up he will almost certainly win his England...

Lawnchairs is a great track! Tell him 'thanks' for making it!

A great result for us and hopefully a result to help us kick-start our season. They were LUCKY though and it should've been 5-0!!! At times we had flashes of the 'old' City and yet other times where we looked like a brand new team who'd never seen each other!! Haaland was absolutely immense...

Great write up again @threespires and some great choices in there. Back In Black is my favourite - absolutely love that album! Bon Scott was a legend and had a real cheeky cockiness in his voice, but I can't imagine anyone else but Brian Johnson belting this track out. It's a solid-gold rock...

I don't mind some Taylor Swift singles, they can be quite catchy but it's music that isn't aimed at me! I gave the album a listen and it's not bad, but there's absolutely nothing that jumps out at me at all. It's just ... 'Friends music'. It's nice, comforting but ultimately boring. It's...

I worked with one lad who lived in Manchester and had to drive over to Leeds for a job interview. When he got there, the boss said 'Are you red or blue?' and he replied blue and got the job - that was it. No questions about experience, skill etc!! To be fair on a contract if you're no good they...

Kompany for me had the "X Factor" in that some players put the fear of God in the opposition. He was a superb defender who could mix it when he needed to and his goal against United gave us the shot at our first title. His one v Leicester was incredible. He played like a fan on the pitch. As...

He's one of the best players I've ever seen. Completely two footed, could score from distance, great passing range, great dribbler, read the game well and was surprisingly quick for his size. He also had a knack of scoring HUGE goals for us - he won games on his own. Newcastle away, United in...

My Dad had Nice Enough To Eat but my favourite as a kid was that yellow Bumpers album!!! Absolutely loved the giant trainer on the front haha
