    Club World Cup

    Just read an article in which FIFA want to run this competition every two years - apparently United are really keen on the idea. Don't know why as they will never qualify legitimately. About time the players kicked back at all these stupid ideas - instead of simply threatening to strike - DO...

    iPad question

    I have borrowed our sons iPad. On both my desktop computer and laptop runnning Windows 10 / 11 i ca access the full commentary on the OS site of our matches. But on the iPad when I clicked the "Follow Live" button the screen goes blank. If I don't click the link I can see the volume bar...

    Goal kicks

    The current method of taking goal kicks by passing to defenders inside the box is fraught with danger. I have just watched the A-League game between Wellington and Auckland. In time added on Wellington's goalie really stuffed up with the distribution - result Auckland scored. And as Wellington...

    80 milestone turned

    October 25th was the big day - a couple of days prior we knocked in five goals, I hoped we would score three against Southamton which would mean over the two games it would be 8-0. Not to be, but the milestone became even better when I saw the rags had been beaten by a controversial VAR decision.

    Bell, Lee, Summerbee Video

    Not sure where to post this .................... I have just watched the video on the OS describing the design and construction of their statue. Very interesting and at times quite emotional, especially for Colin's son when he saw the mock-up model. Well worth watching.

    Golden Boot 23/24

    I just Googled the Golden Boot standings and was "blown away" when I saw a picture of three contenders. Why? There in full colour was a picture of Rashford. Surely, he is a contender for the Wooden Clog not the Boot!

    Last 2 games - which was the best of the 13 goals

    I have only seen video clips of both games - so here is my opinion. Kevin's goal (the seventh) was best of that game. Alvarez's second (the sixth) the best in that game. But the best of the thirteen to my mind has to be Alvarez's -- started with the pass from Ortega and then KBD played an...

    Campus development

    I have just watched / listened to our Chairman's interviews and he mentioned 'An ARENA'. Anyone out there who can give me an insight into what it will be used for?

    Goal of the season

    Just seen the candidates on the OS and I want to vote for at least FOUR - two from Rodri and Bernado's at Villa plus of course Gundo's second on Sunday. The OS will not let me have more than one attempt though.

    World Cup every TWO years

    The clowns at FIFA have put a proposal forward to have the World Cup every two years - what next. Cancel all domestic and continental leagues and just have a WORLD league. Not surprising that UEFA are opposed to the suggestion - how would they schedule their European tournaments?

    Players going into isolation

    I've just seen that Ronaldo as to go into isolation for five days after playing for Portugal. Will our players be similarly effected? I thought the EPL had suggested clubs should not let players go overseas if they had to isolate on return.

    Pep and Klopp's strategies

    This season we have seen Liverpool collapse because in the past couple of seasons Klopp played an unchanged side in almost every game except for domestic cups (which he obviously doesn't rate). Result - players are knackered. Whereas Pep constantly rotates his players to keep them relatively...

    Football violence

    Last night I watched a TV programme on Billy Connolly and it reminded me of something I did in the 1980s. We were working at the Hikurangi Dairy Company (a few miles north of Whangarei in NZ's North Island). A colleague and I were staying at the hotel/pub - a typical old colonial establishment...

    Debate on Bluemoon is BACK - thank goodness

    This Forum was quite bland during the lock down. I didn't spend too much time as postings became quite repetitive. Now it is back with many interesting comments and heated discussions, not only about the CAS decision, the corruption masquerading as VAR, but especially whenever we get beat...

    Question for the record keepers

    How many penalties have we been awarded this season? How many penalties have we conceded? How many penalties have the rags had this season? Just curious, no hidden agenda.

    From happiness to sadness

    Yesterday morning I watched our team score nine goals against Burton. Last night I got a phone call telling me my 7-year old grandson had drowned at Raglan beach. He was born in New Zealand, never been out of the country but often proudly wore his Kun Aguero shirt. His father, our son named...

    Beglin (TV Pundit) Your thoughts

    Firstly I hope I have spelt his name correctly. Secondly, to my mind he is always detrimental to City. On the Prime TV highlights package today he analysed Kun's goal in the Derby by criticising De Gea for poor positioning. He could not bring himself to enthuse over the one-two, narrow angle and...
