This could quite easily come to pass. We are still in the very early days of this virus, especially in the West, infection rates can be expected to keep rising, possibly doubling. It will likely be six months at the least before anything starts to calm down, if we are already at the point of...

People are paying way too much attention to what "fans" of other clubs are saying about us, it's just a stick to try and beat us with. These people aren't ever going to give us any credit, so it is pointless arguing with them, or letting yourself get bothered by it. Was talking to a young lad...

Five minutes to go in the last Maine Road derby, 3-1 up, realising we'd beat them for the first time since the 5-1 after O'Shea missed an empty net from a yard, and on the Kippax with the whole ground singing "WE'RE THE PRIDE OF MANCHESTER" As loud a chant I ever heard at Maine Road, still get...

Just hope we can sort it out in time for the CL, can have a real pop at that now the league has gone, but no chance if we continue to miss so many chances, whatever the reason

This is going to sound counter-intuitive but I think our problems putting the ball in the back of the net is partly down to our problems at the back. It's similar to Pep's first season where we didn't struggle to create chances, would dominate games, miss some ridiculous chances, and lose to...

Not claiming to be in the know with the NS expansion, but I do think we are delaying it until more is heard about safe-standing, and maybe to see how Spurs new stadium performs economically. I hear a lot these days about firms wanting to "future-proof", which basically means they don't want to...

This all comes back to if you think footballers need "an arm round the shoulder" or are overpaid prima-donnas who need a rocket up their arse at times! I agree Mancini is a legend for us, and that we needed shaking up and some players were there for the wages and needed moving on. That said...

Thought about this for most of the season, but the only way VAR works for football is if it is instant, or within a few seconds, otherwise it will always taint the game. Scoring a goal is for me the best element of football, sure there are so many other elements to it but scoring a goal is THE...

With the way our finances improve year on year with more sponsorships etc. no reason to doubt we'll become the club with the highest turnover, certainly in England, and possibly Europe too. So FFP becomes a thing of the past and we can cherry pick the best players from other teams as other...

The atmosphere has been an issue, apart from some big games, ever since we moved and I'm not saying Maine Road was always a cauldron, but definitely much better. I noticed it again on Saturday that there are times the fans are trying to sing two or three different songs at the same time, or at...

Like everyone else I was impressed with Amazon last night, didn't trot out the same old garbage spouted by Sky or BT, for example managed to go a full 90 mins without hearing a comparison of how much each squad cost to assemble! Funny I don't remember hearing how much the rags or Arse teams of...

I can't stand her, called her a failed athlete on twitter and then blocked her. She's a know-nothing deluded scouser as bad as John "Ibe is better than Sterling" Aldridge but expect to see/hear more from her though, unfortunately she ticks diversity boxes.

They are up sh*t-street financially, struggling paying players wages, winding up order, he probably thought now is a good time to leave after keeping them up as there is no where to go for them but down

Is the South stand any better at the front in the rain since we did the expansion and new roof or just the same? I'm pretty sure the whole roof and cable net will be changed or removed over time, sure I remember reading on here there is rotten wood in the roof and it isn't fit for purpose...

I did a walk around there a few years ago using old maps and information from (the always excellent!) Gary James, went round Bennett Street, Clowes Street etc, trying to find whereabouts St Marks was etc. Gutted I never noticed those stones as you are right, you can make out the door of the...

This is where the Hyde Road Hotel (later City gates) pub was where players used to change in early days https://www.google.com/maps/@53.467992,-2.2106941,3a,60y,7.73h,77.96t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sk1rQzNpamNezkHOS7gYUxQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 You can make out exactly where it is as you can see the two...

Running down the wing, Silva, makes the blue boys sing, Silva, all we want is two more wins

It's a long term thing, and also making sure we are ahead of the game rather than behind it. Football is still a sport still growing, massively so in some areas, and we seem to be targeting high population areas in growing football markets, USA, Oz, China etc. It creates all the synergies with...

Got to give the opposition some credit when we don't win, teams know if they can stay in a game against us we get edgy, not sure why we get so edgy but we frequently concede goal(s) to the only shot(s) on target, Ederson's save percentage must be shocking this season. But Pep's teams have...
