As the title says, she has extended her stay at City until the summer of 2027 https://www.mancity.com/news/womens/lily-murphy-man-city-contract-extension-announcement-63891895 I hope she continues to develop and improve. She is fucking quick, and will scare some WSL defenders shitless.

Thomas Frank says he’s never been sacked. You haven’t worked for Daniel Levy before, Thomas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c2ezl2evmlko

I can remember reading a biography of Sir Stanley Matthews in the early '70s; not long after I became interested in football. He’s been a footballing hero of mine ever since; possibly my favourite non-City player, even though I’m not old enough to remember him playing. The game saw one of the...

After a nomadic few seasons, having to play their "home" games at least 50 miles away, Truro It finally moved in to their new home - the Truro City Stadium - for the start of this season. Amazingly, they have won the National League South, on goal difference with 89 points from thir nearest...

Last February, while visiting @Mad Eyed Screamer at his place of work in Florida, he introduced us to a Cornish woman, who lived on the site. She told us that she was born and grew up about four miles from my home village. The more we talked, the more we discovered that we both knew the same...

As I mentioned in the rags thread, I have been diagnosed with cataracts on both eyes. I’d noticed that my vision has deteriorated over the last few months, so I thought I’d better have my eyes tested for a new prescription. However, the optician, who was brilliant, suspected straight away...

The Japan U20 international has just signed for City, and will wear #30. From what it said on the app, it sounds like she will be an understudy for Yui. A very exciting signing.

Mrs Vienna was there, and it was her favourite game. A few years ago, I asked her to name the four scorers, and she got them all first time.

I don’t really know what I’m doing on here at this time, but I need somewhere to put down my feelings. I’ve just lost my wonderful partner of 18 years, Lesley Anne Berry, or to all of you, Mrs Vienna. She taught me so many things, including how to cook, and I learnt so much about the great...

Goalkeeper, Katie Startup, has signed for City on a permanent two-year deal: https://www.mancity.com/news/womens/katie-startup-man-city-signing-announcement-63861212

Which teams will struggle to stay in the Premier League this season? The three promoted sides are obvious candidates, and I think Everton, Forest, Fulham, Wolves and Brentford, now that Toney has left, will all be involved. As much as we’d love the rags to bein and around the fight to stay up...

A good win today. They’re now level on points with Brighton and Arsenal two points behind the leaders.

The 19 year-old has signed her first professional contract: https://www.mancity.com/news/womens/prior-signs-first-professional-man-city-deal-63859241 She sounds a very promising prospect, though I doubt she will see much first team action this season.

Apparently scientists have found water on our near neighbour. Between ten and 20km below the surface. So, David Bowie was right all along.

With the signing of Savinho and the further blossoming of Oscar Bobb, I think we’ll be seeing less of Phil out wide this season. He proved consistently, with the absence of KdB in the first half of last season, that he can play centrally and play it to a very high standard. There is no doubt...

Signed from Reading. An 18 year-old goalkeeper, whose family is from Manchester. This removes any doubt about who will be our No. 1 for the foreseeable future. https://www.mancity.com/news/womens/eve-annets-man-city-signing-announcement-reading-63858449

He had a very good first season, and showed his talent on many occasions. Will he be able to step up and be an able deputy for Rodri in the pivot rôle, should we need him to?

Borussia Dortmund have taken Yan Couto on loan, with an obligation to buy for €30 million: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c4ng1rjl24xo That will be a nice addition to the transfer kitty. This CFG thing is beginning to reap rewards.

Have any of you seen the advert for Ancestry about Eliza Dobson? It states that she was so incensed by having to work, while her brothers went to school that she boycotted the 1911 census. I thought I’d google her, just to see if she was a real person, and it turns out she was. However, she...

39 years ago today. It was a fantastic day, which raised a great deal of money for a very worthy cause. Statue Quo's opening the show with Rockin' All Over The World set the tone for the day. My highlight was Queen. They stole the show, as far as I’m concerned. The audience mimicking the...
