It’s the number one ‘football tourist’ game of the season. Soriano will already be maximising revenue at that one, to the detriment of the atmosphere.

I have to admit I enjoyed it on Sunday. I’m not saying it was a cauldron but SSL3 was pretty good, especially second half and the ‘old classics’ of ‘come on city’ got a few airings. It is weird how people don’t want to join in with singing, shouting etc. I don’t know if people are shy etc, but...

If I’m honest I think Arsenal, as a side, look more durable than us and offer the opposition so few chances and it seems inevitable they will eventually score at some point. The only weakness is they lack goalscorers in the side, so hopefully this may coincide with a drop off at the back and...

Rolled back the years tonight. Passing imperious and won the ball back numerous times. Biggest positive tonight.

Lots of credit in the bank but was terrible tonight, contributed nothing and this follows a poor performance at Forest. Two physical sides and he has gone missing.

50th year on the planet so booked a 70 mile trail race for June. Foreign marathon somewhere (New York if a get in). Cut down on the chocolate and spend more time productively, such as reading.

Absolute tragedy and such a shame for the individuals and families involved. Sadly people make misjudgements and nature can take the most experienced person by surprise. Human nature to try things which push boundaries, test themselves, and embark on traditions a bit out of the ordinary. It’s...

What is your thinking here as we bought Haaland a year before Palmer left?

Shown enough, before the injury, to suggest he has a future here and I would much rather see Savinho exit or Bobb go on loan and review the situation again in the summer. Im convinced Bobb just needs regular run of first team football to blossom.

Not sure of your point there? Only point im making is we might gain something but we might lost something also. Im in SSL3 and there is a cracking bunch of singers at the back of the stand, but I very much doubt the players are really aware of them or have any interaction in any discernible way

It’s not just about the tv though, it’s fan engagement with the players. Think of the number of times a player like KDB has gone to take a corner to a rousing cheer of oh Kevin De Bruyne, would the players be similarly energised by a chant emanating from the back of the stand? I’m not...

That makes sense but a distant noise at the back of the stand, by our most vocal/energetic fans moving there will also destroy the optics of the ground which is also worth consideration. Whenever you see any City videos/fan celebrations we’re fortunate the cameras can pan to the south stand or...

It’s a forum with opinions. I’ve got plenty of things wrong over the years. Not sure of the purpose for highlighting people’s previous posts to be honest.

I take the point but realistically Kovacic/Bernardo are going to move on in the summer. If the opportunity presents itself, and we have a chance to bed in a midfielder, in preparation for next season it would be foolish not to take it. If that means Kovacic kicks his heels on 100k plus a week I...

I think with football,for many,I think you are either fully invested or your not,few half measures.. Once the cycle of going is broken, you have more free time, more money in your pocket, not having to navigate the parking/transport issues,traffic leaving the ground for many it won’t feel...

It might be worth looking into the escape strategy for the loft conversion to see how easy it would be to make your house comply. Once you go up to there storeys (ground, first and second floor) you need to provide a protected escape route to a place of safety, which means a not passing through...

It’s a fair point. However I do think easier access to tickets, the ability for groups of mates to buy together, areas of the stadium be emptied enabling singing ends to be created and lowering of ticket prices would change the crowd demographic. I was 22 at York away and the age profile of our...

Was fully expecting a decent atmosphere today but it never quite materialised. The pedestrian football, and desperation to control/slow play down doesn’t give you much as a fanbase to get your teeth into and ticket policies have changed the dynamic within the stadium. Add the fact many are...

Like last season this side cannot play with any intensity. Scored early and then it’s all about controlling the match, taking the sting out of the game,but we’re not good enough to do it. 4/5 years ago we would have pressed, harried the opposition from the first to the last minute. Now we let...
