    Match Thread | Leicester vs. Man City (29/12/24)

    Decent performance for middle table side away from home. It does nothing but reaffirm we are a country mile off the top teams. Haaland looks motivated. Needs to be cos he's going to have to keep working for his goals. Savinho took his goal well. Given the pressure that wasn't an easy a finish...

    Priced out?

    I'm afraid we colluded with them in secret and went for the money. This is one of the realities of football. Clubs DO collude.

    Catastrophic transfers are killing us.

    I died a little inside against United.

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    That wasn't the intended implication. The 'throw enough mud' was the sheer number of allegations made, admittedly many of them multiple instances across different periods. Of course they'll have to be substantiated, but it does have a feel of 'hit them from multiple angles and if we don't win on...

    Catastrophic transfers are killing us.

    Until recently Haaland, Silva, Foden, Grealish didn't read too badly and we were top of the league. Things can change quickly (and clearly have done). Salah was looking out of sorts last season, and Nunez was looking well below par. You're not wrong though. As it stands, they look formidable...

    Leicester City (A) - Sun 29th Dec, 14:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    We will probably miss the exit off the M1. Not enough fuel in the coach. GPS subscription hasn't been renewed. Walker's new iPhone wont be taking Pep's calls due to AI still trying to work out which body parts are in the photo album. Kit man ran off with tea lady after Xmas do fling. Rebecca...

    Priced out?

    Mine were CL and League Cup games both midweek which may have been a factor. There was certainly no singing. Hardly surprising really as there's a sense of decorum sitting there. I heard the crowd noises over the PA sitting there which I've never been able to hear sat in my usual place. It was...

    Nedum Onuoha the pundit

    I had TalkShite in my mind in this specific instance. One particular pundit somehow manages to maintain a career through the alcohol and sexist jibes and failures to show up on his own show!

    Nedum Onuoha the pundit

    Fabulous pundit, articulate with well considered opinions. Comes across as affable and genuine. Sadly a lot of our media want controversial opinions to generate clicks and calls and still think the loveable old white male sexist rogue pundit is a crowdpleaser.

    Priced out?

    I didn't take it that way at all. It was very enjoyable but I was always conscious of how surreal it is. It's not really indicative of the traditional matchday experience, but maybe I'm just old fashioned and it's the future!

    Priced out?

    In fairness a lot of that is down to camera phones and social media. People just didn't carry cameras with them in the old days, and they certainly couldn't publish something worldwide within seconds. It's not the only reason, but it's a significant factor. The money factor doesn't help either...

    Priced out?

    The really sad indictment of City is that as much as we fans despise the red shirt clubs et al, we colluded with them over the Super League fiasco. That's a very difficult fact to swallow but it does demonstrate we aren't above a bit of fuckery ourselves.

    Priced out?

    I suspect most of the attendees were guests of companies who own a table (as I was). I can't deny it's a great experience and you're a handful of rows behind Pep and the team, but yes, it feels very distant from the typical fan experience. Food and drink apart, I prefer sitting in the stands...

    Priced out?

    That wasn't my experience. Most tables were owned by a company who then invited key clients along for a jolly. Some had an interest in football but few were regular matchgoers and supported other clubs. Plenty were arriving late after kickoff and half time. Of course there were City fans too...

    Priced out?

    I've had the privilege of enjoying the tunnel club twice this season, and it's a very good experience indeed. However, it's a country mile from a real football experience with a very large proportion of attendees having little interest in football, let alone City. I think the individual cost was...

    North Stand Construction Discussion

    The extension could be a real opportunity for City to set an example of using wealth to benefit fans in a very tangible way by reducing ticket prices. It's a marvellous feat of engineering to modify a stadium without closing it, particularly on the scale of the south and now north stands. It...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    I don't disagree, but at the same time there's another legal team who believe there's merit in the PL's case, unless they are ignoring counsel's advice. Could there be a case that the PL don't see much merit, but want to at least be seen to have taken us to task. If they lose, then so be it...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    You can have a perfectly legitimate and audited set of accounts that the PL still deemed to be in bad faith and misleading (In terms of how you chose to account in order to circumvent their own set of rules). If you sell shirts at the stadium shop on matchday, that could be deemed matchday...

    If the rot continues what happens ?

    I'm not sure we ever wanted to perceived as a 'just throw money at it' club, bankrolled by a sugardaddy. I believe we want the perception to be that, with good investment and sound management, businesses can be transformed into hugely successful operations and generate their own wealth. I think...

    Everton (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Confidence is a huge factor. We have lost ours and other teams have increased theirs. Every time one of our players is in possession they are taking a split second longer to decide. They are making decisions they wouldn't normally make. They are trying a little bit harder and end up over hitting...
