This is a key point we often forget. Khaldoon knows the truth. I think the club would have behaved totally differently if they knew the PL had a smoking gun. We would have settled a long time ago.

I have made the same decision. Very difficult to get to as well with the crumbling road and rail network. Just a very negative experience and the football has nothing to do with that.

Ferguson had no idea what it meant at all. He exploded because he didn't understand it. He said it was just stupid. But then again he never ever understood Manchester. He spent very little time in our city, preferring to swan around leafy cheshire and executive boxes at horse race meetings. As...

He has been a fanatical City fan since childhood so is far from a gloryhunter. I think it may be something to do with his anti-establishment attitude. He is certainy an ABU.

As Messi and Ronaldo fade out Haaland is becoming commercially the most valuable player as well. Impossible to put a value on how much revenue he generates just from his social media profile. He is a gold mine for City and the PL brand. A global icon for all sports. Everyone in the world knows...

Its around £1 a Euro these days so their money will go further. We met a load of Hoffenheim fans a few years back and took them in the Lower Turk's Head before the game which had a live northern soul band playing. They loved it so much they were too pissed for their "march to the ground."

Does it include the CWC?

Can't remember which idiot pundit said that but it was just after we had won the treble after beating Dortmund, Seville, Leipzig (7-0), Bayern, Real Madrid, and Inter Milan, plus United in the FA Cup Final, and scored 151 goals. Erling only managed 52 goals and later came second to Messi in the...

I have family in Brum so I know there are nice areas but as a city-centre it doesn't compare to Manchester, Newcastle, Leeds, Nottingham, or even Liverpool. That said the Brummies are mostly friendly people with a good sense of humour. I think they deserve better.

Perhaps you are right. Leverkusen don't play in the CL that much. Plus Manchester is an attractive destination for a two-day piss-up and beer here is relatively cheap compared to the Cologne area.

The area is totally run down. Dark and dingy with a lot of street lights vandalised, boarded up pubs, a crumbling station nearby with no apparent crowd control, an unwelcoming atmosphere. The stadium has overcrowded concourses and cramped seats. I remember Villa Park in its heyday when it was a...

That is a very kind and thoughtful tribute. You seem like a very caring family. I didn't know Guy but know his face from away trips. RIP Guy.

No idea but Villa Park is 40 years out of date. Not enough space inside or outside the stands, very few places to eat or drink. A terrible away trip, even if you go into the city-centre.

A 5.30pm kick off on a Saturday at St James is not for the faint-hearted. The place will be absolutely rocking. Those Geordies have their quiet moments but not when they have been on the piss all day.

Very good sales. I presume Leverkusen will not sell all three away blocks so some tickets may come back at some point. Looks like it will at least hit 50,000 though.

To call him thick would be an understatement. During our recent visit I thought Villa Park, especially the away section, was a crumbling shithole. For me the infrastructure and the state of the surrounding areas would rule it out of any major events. It reminded me of a larger version of...

I know plenty of decent Celtic fans, some of whom have stopped because of the so-called Green Brigade. The club needs to get a grip. A lot of progress has been made at both Old Firm clubs since I lived in West Lothian 30 years ago. But neither club can afford to go backwards. It is ridiculous...

I can remember witnessing one of the world’s fastest fire drills.. almost as quick as the 6-1 at the swamp.

They will have to run buses, trams, and trains 24 hours as happens in proper European cities for starters. We can’t afford an Istanbul cock-up. It would be commercially damaging for the city and the UK. London’s image is rock bottom so Manchester must step up,

The Euros will be a great boost for Manchester. Huge revenues for hotels, bars, restaurants. Co-op live will open up for food and drink ( it was fantastic last week before the Liverpool game) plus City Square etc. Five extra matches plus all the PL and CL games for City( maybe also United )plus...
