Seems that lots of the rich and famous said goodbye this year, but we lost a cracking potential forward line in particular with Franny Lee, Sir Bobby, Vialli and Trevor Francis. Very few of the class of 66 left now - but Geoff Hurst looked as fit as a butchers dog when on the box this year...

Every year as we're approaching the season's end, I start to feel increasing frustration and sadness, knowing that things are coming to an end. It isn't a new thing, even when we were shit 25 years ago it was always a privilege and pleasure just to be there, among kindred spirits. I had a...

I'm a Burnage blue, living in East Anglia though for 30 years. My eldest sister, now 75 and also a blue, has had a torrid time with her health over the last decade and she fell ill with a chest problem in the summer. She was in and out of hospital for a couple of weeks, then spent 8 weeks in...

I couldn't believe it when I heard that Gabriel had been given a yellow card for scuffing up the penalty spot. It's poetic justice I suppose that within a couple of minutes, he'd put himself into a position where he did a body check on Jesus and got a 2nd yellow. There were so many talking...

Having our night off and Liverpool and Chelsea have both progressed into the semi final, giving them extra games in early January when Afcon is on; covid's still about, and Chelsea and Liverpool both have to play each other and Chelsea come to the Etihad in early/mid January. Add to that...

1st team valuation, in other words. Very difficult. Trying to allow for the market, form and age, I'll try first - in millions: Ederson 80 Walker 40 Stones 40 Diaz 90 Laporte 40 Cancello 85 Silva 100 Gundo 40 KDB 80 Foden...

I know we've broken all kinds of records over the last few seasons, but, it's crept under the radar that we've won our last 3 home league games 5 - nil!! I find it hard to believe that this ever been equalled or bettered? I've been watching City, and an avid football fan, for 50+ years and...

The word is out - this team just might be good enough to win a trophy this year, but, we aren't going to be there to celebrate it. So, whether we become uncatchable in the league against Villa on 21st April, or win the Carabou Cup against Spurs, or WHENEVER it is that we get our first trophy...

Comparison of results is going well - as it obviously would with a 100% record. Don't forget that we won the first 5 last season as well, and were looking very good at that stage - but not THIS good! We're 8 points better off on the comparable fixtures from last season:- Last season, beat...

As we approach the festive time of year, we ought to spare a thought for those less fortunate than us all around the world. I'm sure that all within the football community have shed a tear in recent weeks at the plight of our neighbours over at the swamp, as they grab at one crumbling rock...

Just had an email inviting me to spend £169 watching the chumps league final in some poncey London bar for £169, followed by a Q&A with Keown:- ".......As part of this exclusive evening of sport, footballing legend Martin Keown will take part in a Q&A, hosted by Sky Sports presenter Olivia...

....on SSN this morning, it showed the United players at the races and who was there; Ashley Young limping around on crutches. I doubt that he'll throw a ball at Zabbaletta again in a hurry. #Twat On another note - seems appropriate somehow though - Gollum going to Mordor. (Edited - sorry...

Just watching the sports news on BBC at 10.20 this morning, and, after the Grand Prix news, they went on to football and previewed the Tyne/Wear derby, Scum v Stoke, a women's footie game, and then Celtic's Scottish FA cup semi. Strange, and to me, unexpected censorship - not a dickie bird about...

There's a fair/good report on City v Sunderland from James Ducker, but further along in the football pull-out I came to Chelsea's report and nearly choked on my butty as I read the 1st paragraph:- "...The European Champions are four points clear at the top of the Barclay's Premier League...

Just wondering, as Cleverley managed to get on the pitch for his 10th appearance of the season yesterday, will he qualify for a winners medal next week? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

City finishing the season bang in form. It's possible that we could finish with 100 goals. 85 so far and Wolves at our mercy on Saturday. Can we repeat the 6 at Norwich? We should score at least 6 against United - after all, you'd expect it to be a lot easier against them at home :-) Anyway...

I wonder if it's starting to rebalance in it's own funny way - Phil Dowd gives a ridiculous penalty against Micah at Liverpool when the ball came up off his leg and hit his hand; same ref accidentally does us a big favour last night, not giving that pen for United against Wigan, presumably...

Having seen Arsenal last night, they were up against a very poor AC Milan, who never got out of 2nd gear. Arsenal have been lauded this morning but, against a strong team, they would have been ripped apart. Gibbs and Sagna constantly took the wrong options going forward, Walcott usually did...

Just done his pathetic report from Carrington, ahead of the earth shattering Mancini/Tevez summit due in an hour or so. God - the excitement is unbearable - it's almost like deadline day when he reported all day long about, err, fuck all! Anyhow, the big news is that, if it takes Tevez 2/3...

The Light Parades These are my boys - City fans, so I hope you'll like and support - say hello on facebook, or whatever. I love it, but I'm a bit biased! Cheers <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wIbLyRrU8Q&feature=channel_video_title"...
