Goalkeepers Ederson - Past it, never saves anything, sell him Ortega - Not a good back-up anymore, sell him Trafford - Bag of nerves, drop him or sell him Bettinelli - New guy Defenders Lewis - Never gonna be good enough, sell him Akanji - Teacher's pet, slow, sell him Nunes - Never gonna be...

Reijnders' goal against Wolves reminded me of a goal from City's past, but I can't remember which one - it's driving me mad. Everything happens in almost exactly the same way for both goals. The ball is played through for a run down the left channel, the goalscorer shoots with the inside of...

Killed in a car crash in Spain. How unbelievably awful. https://www.marca.com/futbol/premier-league/2025/07/03/muere-futbolista-liverpool-diego-jota-accidente-trafico-provincia-zamora.html

What a shitter for their fans. John Textor owns shares in Crystal Palace and Lyon, which breaches UEFA's multi-club ownership rules. Lyon get the nod from UEFA over Palace in this scenario because they qualified via their league position rather than by winning a cup. He's tried to sell his...

One of the greatest English strikers of all time. Scored 100 Premier League goals after the age of 30, a Premier League title and an FA Cup to show for it. From the non-league to Premier League champion in four years. 26 England caps is a crime for which Hodgson and Southgate should be put...

Obviously lots of fretting at the moment over us not finishing in the top four for the first time since 09-10 and this potentially being the first season since the formation of the Premier League in which a Manchester club won't have finished at least 4th or higher. The "top four" - as it...

Just stumbled across this cracking channel on YouTube that has loads of old City highlights (from the 80s through to the 2000s). Found the full 20-minute BBC highlights of Spurs 3-4 City. Motty on commentary.

At the start of the season, absolutely nobody knew what was going to happen to an English team that had won four titles in a row because not one English team had ever won four titles in a row. Until City did. These are uncharted waters and we're the only team in a position to be sailing in...

Been thinking recently about all the success we've had. Not just under Pep but Mancini and Pellegrini as well. And yeah, all the trophies we've won were our achievements. We scored the goals and won the games, etc. You make your own luck. But, as much as the above is true, I did start to think...

Threw away a 2-0 lead against Brentford. Conceded a stupid (thankfully consolation) goal against West Ham, performance went to shit. Lost the game against United. Threw away a 3-0 lead against Feyenoord. Gave up a 1-0 lead at Brighton. The players just don't have the legs to make it through 90...

Think we need to start looking at Liverpool's 22/23 season as a potential reference point for City's 24/25 season, just in case things don't turn around. They finished the 21/22 season having won the League Cup and FA Cup double. They played every game it was possible for them to play, losing...

Simple. What are your favourite goals of all time not involving City? This below from Ronaldinho will always be the one for me. The greatest forward in the world facing up against the best goalkeeper in the world, at the time, and producing that - unbelievable. If you want to explain to...

Inspired by @MillsyTheMosher's thread asking who our greatest ever player has been. I think - as much as it's an interesting and great discussion to have - I'm more interested in finding out who everyone thinks our best player was between (roughly) our League Cup win in 1976 and the Sheikh's...

Has anyone got a clip of it? Incredible performance from the young lad yesterday. In 20 years of attending Armistice Day games, I've never heard a Last Post performed so impeccably. Note perfect throughout. It got me properly emotional. To stand up in front of 55,000 and perform like that...

Four people injured. Sounds like the bus driver had to be cut free.

I saw it suggested in the post-match thread last night that, under Pep, City have historically blown teams away when the opposition have been reduced to 10 men, and that only coming back from 1-2 down to draw 2-2 with Arsenal on Sunday was below expectations. So I did a little digging into our...

Former Middlesbrough, Cardiff, Leeds, and Leicester player. Was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2021 but was declared cancer free not long after after a few months of chemo. I remember going down to Leicester in the FA Cup in 2011- the Neil Young scarves game - and getting into the...

We've only lost one game on the opening day since the takeover in 2008. 2008-09 L 4-2 vs Aston Villa (two weeks before the ADUG takeover) 2009-10 W 2-0 vs Blackburn 2010-11 D 0-0 vs Spurs 2011-12 W 4-0 vs Swansea 2012-13 W 3-2 vs Southampton 2013-14 W 4-0 vs Newcastle 2014-15 W 2-0 vs Newcastle...

Here we go again. Seems to have happened earlier this afternoon. Awful. Praying things aren't too serious.
