    If the rot continues what happens ?

    We as fans have been truly spoilt over the last decade, I’m sure every man and his dog would agree. Pep is clearly one of us, he’s bought into the project, defended us against the press and made us the envy of every other fan - hence the bitterness in the press. I can completely accept this...

    Aston Villa (A) - Sat 21st Dec, 12:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Would be good if we actually changed this up slightly and punished the underperforming star names. Ortega JWE Dias Stones Akanji Wright Kovacic KDB Mcatee Foden Haaland. Clearly won’t happen though but hopefully pep sees a reshuffle is needed!

    United (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    First things first pep is a legend and he gets the chance to turn this around clearly. My worry is we need a huge overhaul. Pep is obviously near the end of his stay here be it 2 years or less. So it did seem the right time to go was next summer so a new manager can really create his own...

    United (H) - Sun 15th Dec, 16:30 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    Pep said last night he was happy with the control and pacing of the game, but we just lacked that killer touch. There is no way we will change anything up, usually we go more control led against United even when we’re in top form. Ederson Walker Akanji Dias Gvardiol Gundo Grealish Kbd Foden...

    Spurs (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    I can’t see a lack of effort personally, a lack of confidence and in same cases ability perhaps. We have been a well oiled machine for years, the players have it built into them to not get too high or too low. I think every player who pulls on the shirt gives their all, however sometimes the...

    Spurs (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    I think fundamentally as fans we have been spoilt rotten over Pep’s reign - this is probably the worst team he’s been able to put out. In the sense of lack of world class recruitment and an aging player base. I think the problem currently is the lack of rhythm and partnerships. The players...

    Match Thread | Sporting CP vs. Man City (05/11/24)

    What sort of fan are you! Absolute moron. He’s playing the role he’s been told and been good!

    Bournemouth (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Poor game and the lack of energy predicted beforehand was evident for 80 minutes. The slating lewis gets is crazy as today showed we need his energy and linking ability. You can’t play Gundo, kova and silva as a midfield 3 sadly. Nunes, lewis or mcatee even would be immensely better as they...

    Southampton (H) - Sat 26th Oct, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    All the big guns starting this one with heavy rotation for the Spurs game. Southampton play risky football, so an intense press for 30 minutes and we should get 2/3 chances. At half time the likes of Riley and Mcatee to come on. Without sounding disrespectful - let’s get the game out of...

    Media discussion - 2024/25

    For my sins I flicked on talksport on the way to work. The scouse gobshite also known as John Bishop just was on bigging up his new tour (supposedly it’s his way of giving back to his fans). Anyway I digress, they then game him the chance to speak about his beloved Liverpool. He completely...

    11 | Jeremy Doku - 2024/25

    Thought he played great last night. For a player who dribbles at such speed and is so dynamic I’d hazard a guess the end product isn’t always going to be positive. You get Jack on the other side who keeps the ball really well, creates great chances due to his movement but gets slated for not...

    87 | James McAtee - 2024/25

    Love James as a player. Like Pep keeps alluding to, between the lines Mcatee is great at finding space and then has a lovely touch. While his finishing is one of his better qualities. So all this shouts out to me about a false 9 role. I think he will get minutes as false 9 in the cups when...

    Kyogo Furuhashi - on final striker shortlist

    This would be a really clever signing for us. I watch a fair bit of Scottish football (as I’m a very sad person). His movement is top notch, dare I say something different to big Erl but I can see his movement troubling low block teams. He’s got a great touch, very busy and knows how to cause...

    Ilkay Gundogan - Done Deal

    A timely reminder to read this piece that Gundo wrote after leaving. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/posts/ilkay-guendogan-manchester-city-premier-league-la-liga-barcelona-soccer He clearly loves the atmosphere and misses the squad. Long live Ilkay!

    Manchester City v Chelsea in Ohio - Post Match Thread

    Well once again that was very fun indeed. Phillips was great, crisp passing and some quality interceptions. It shows there is a player ready to come out. If he goes then so be it, but glimpses of class. The young boys have to be part of the squad, give me Mcatee and bobb getting more minutes...

    Match Thread | Man City vs. Barcelona (31/07/24 @ 00:00)

    Really fun half once again. Nico looks great doesn’t he, great potential with his movement and touch - topped off with a great finish. Would love to see him next to Rodri to give the lad more structure. Mcatee, Bobb and Rico are linking up well down the right, really could be 2 or 3 up. Jack...

    City v AC Milan post match thread

    That was thoroughly enjoyable once again. Rico, James, Oscar, O’Rilley and the starting rb all looked great. You can tell the huge potential in them and dare I say Bobb should be our starting RW. He is simply sublime - the perfect winger and a lot quicker than I thought. The next game should...

    Playing sport as you get older

    Hitting my early 40s I’ve decided to take on playing a few sports again to keep my body ticking over after stopping while kids were toddlers. But Christ alive I’ve no idea how some people have the energy, dedication and body to do it. I’m playing football and tennis and seemingly every week I...

    Match Thread | Man City vs. Celtic (24/07/24 @ 00:30)

    Fairly shocked at the overall negative reaction. Celtic have their first team out and are naturally a decent team and working space well. The youngsters have done well, nico looks like he has a good touch and Mcatee finding some great pockets of space. Haaland has missed a couple of chances...

    Sleep Deprivation

    My parents suggested a bit of rum into their milk botttle before bed. Im not sure the legalities of that these days though sadly.
