    Alan Ball: Did Franny Lee Really Think He Would Bring Trophies?

    Either way, things did not get better and the only way was definitely not up. Even that hideous Kippax stand was terrible. Months of sitting with a rain Mack on.

    Alan Ball: Did Franny Lee Really Think He Would Bring Trophies?

    Idolised him, copied his haircut and wanted to be him basically. I think because he came through the ranks aswell it just made sense. I was a 13 year old playing weekend footy in midfield and he was my inspiration. When he left i was gutted and like an old ex, just forgot about him, it was to...

    Alan Ball: Did Franny Lee Really Think He Would Bring Trophies?

    Alan Ball: Did Franny Lee Really Think He Would Bring Trophies?

    I was heartbroken, when we sold Gary flitcroft loved him, and his bowl head hair cut, Him and Paul Walsh were both class and my idols at the time. I also remember Rocastle and his tricky skills. I always remember the balloons set off in the centre circle at Maine road to start the franny era...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Indeed the midfield, the defence, the tactics, were culpable for us being very susceptible to the transitions. Also the mental and physical aspect of the players hitting a brick wall after our unprecedented 4th title in row. Let’s hope we’ve a fresh approach this coming season.

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    I never said a huge improvement on trophies won, I said a huge improvement on our defensive capabilities from last season. He ran all our center backs into the ground and onto the treatment table. And because we didn’t have any full back cover we were resorting to playing not very good...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    we took a ‘pinch’ last time out, probably expecting it all to be dead and buried. I think in our last statement on the charges we stated that "As such, we look forward to this matter being put to rest once and for all." don’t see khaldoon taking it anymore, I think it’s matter of principle now...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Well the decision to actually buy a LB this time suggests to me that he now knows he needs them. I just hope he gets a proper RB in then I think you’ll see a huge improvement and maybe you will understand that round pegs in round holes isn’t rocket science and the ‘fan on the net’ thing I’m not...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Non of the above are full backs, like I said, he could have bought full backs and wouldn’t be overusing CBs as full backs, thus we would likely have cover for CB injuries. It’s really simple, it really is.

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    He had to play midfielders at full back because he hasn’t bought any except Kyle walker donkeys ago. To say it’s not pep’s fault he had no full back options is a little misleading as he didn’t buy any. Had we had proper full back options we might have well gained a lot more points in the 1st...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Ii I’m iiii Illogical in my view, Puma could have easily waited it out, the existing contract was far from finished. They had ample time to negotiate with us after the verdict, even maybe negotiating a lesser contract value if found guilty. I find it very difficult to believe that Puma don’t...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    We are the best team against most opposition and that is part of my point, you don’t have to be the best team, with the most possession or shots to beat us. So why is it impossible for us to be that way? Sometimes? Especially when we are down on players that we need to play our regular football...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Yes every result, win, lose or draw is on the players and pep! Barring the officiating. As is every trophy win. You can’t take the glory but be immune to the negative. Pep and the players come as one. Win together, lose together.

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    You answered it yourself? No need for me to repeat it. We were 2-0 up against Paris. A team of our capabilities and with the greatest manger shouldn’t be collapsing. You shut up shop, close ranks and dig out the result. And ok I’ll give you Paris, formidable team in the end. What about...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    Wasn’t saying anything about the title, Liverpool were by far the most consistent team over the season and deservedly won it. I’m saying the game to game management, or in game management at times. Bournemout away Brighton away United at home Spurs! At home Feyenoord Psg Just some...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    I’m not neglecting any of the problems we had through injury, I know the extent. However, pep knew it aswell yet seemed to carry on regardless, despite watching us win 1 in 13 and suffer 5 consecutive defeats. Unprecedented for any pep team. Maybe with some more pragmatism and defensive...

    no criticism taken my friend, And nothing personal on pep whatsoever, the man has delivered miracles as far as I’m concerned. I fully support him and city, I always will, I mean, if you can turn up week in week out when Brian Horton et al were in charge this is a cake walk. And where can...

    Pep Guardiola - 2025/26

    I think the repetition of the concerns some fans have is reflected by the repetition of the way we play. Last season The same problems kept cropping up and it was pretty obvious to most. We all had the same issues to grumble about because we were watching the same issues play out. Old tired...
