    Rodri Injury Updates | City say ligament injury (pg117)

    I don't think you can use Sergio as an example. If I recall correctly, he hid the injury from his teammates, refused to have surgery on it and carried it for 4/5 years before finally giving in and having successful surgery in 2020. Maybe if he'd had it fixed in 2015 or whenever he first damaged...

    L'Equipe ratings are more like it. Phil best England player and joint best on the pitch. Bellingham 3/10 and joint worst.

    City’s Top Five Keepers Of All Time

    Good thread. My view, with reasons: 1/ Bert Trautmann - Club legend beyond the club, arguably the best keeper in the world at the time, would have been Germany No. 1 and world cup winner but chose City over Germany, FWA Footballer of the Year, only man with an Iron Cross, an OBE and a broken...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    There's every chance. I wrote the following commentary a week or so ago regarding Keys' constant criticism of us on Bein Sports. It gives a bit of background around UAE vs Qatar politics as I've lived and worked in both countries. I've also worked in Kuwait which is usually the mediator between...

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Much as I'm loath to admit I read it, there has been a definite change in tone at the Daily Fail. This is from one of the recent articles about our dominance: "...there is a shadow hanging over these triumphs in the shape of the 115 charges levelled against City by the Premier League, alleging...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    Pep in today's press conference at 10:35: "we need energy inside... to prove it.... we're going to prove that you're wrong.... a lot of compliments take out the necessary energy to compete every single week" He's literally just told them to their face that all the crap that they write is what...

    I think you have to take into account that Keys is doing his master's bidding when he says stuff like this. In the same way as the red top journalists are permanently promoting the red shirts and anti-blue bcause that's what their editor tells them to do, Bein Sports is Qatari owned and operated...

    Bell, Lee and Summerbee statue | Unveiled (pg19)

    I see the criteria as being (in no particular order): 1/ 10+ years' service 2/ c. 400 appearances 3/ Being recognised as one of, if not the best in their position during their era. 4/ Trophies, records or status within the club (Club Captain, record goal scorer etc.) On that basis, only KDB...

    The Title Race - 2023/24

    They certainly do on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_City_F.C.#Honours Scroll down a bit to Doubles and Trebles. They credit us with two doubles and a treble for 2018-19.

    Luton Town (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Great game for Jezza today and just watched him give a post match interview. Flawless English, no trace of an accent and really open and eloquent about the game and the tactics. No wonder he's improving all the time - he must be a joy for the coaches to get the little things across that can be...

    Luton Town (H) | Sat 13th April, 15:00 | PL | Pre-Match Thread

    I'd be surprised if Eddie's not back between the sticks tomorrow. Although Stefan couldn't be blamed for any of the goals, I thought we missed Eddie's distribution against RM. Edit - I've just seen the presser where Pep has said Eddie's no. 1 and will play tomorrow.

    Is Rodri better than Yaya ?

    To bastardise a quote from Arsene Wenger, Rodri is the oil in our engine and the other components don't work without him. Results when he doesn't play prove that. But when he was on it, Yaya could be the oil, the spark and the turbocharger. A bulldozer going forward or a tow truck to pull you...

    Is Rodri better than Yaya ?

    Rodri wouldn't want one. He's the kind of bloke that would tell the club not to waste their money on him and give it to the homeless instead.

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    Rico's a Thai kickboxer. The opposition bully boys think they're going to intimidate "the little kid" but Rico knows full well that he could kill anyone that tries to pick on him so he just walks away with the knowledge that he has nothing to prove. It's a fantastic attitude - I love it!

    PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

    Sorry but the pedant in me feels obliged to help you out on the ignorance front. The English translation of the Arabic for "Welcome" is "Marhaba", not "Marahaba", but it means welcome as in "Come in". Welcome as in "You're welcome (for something I've done for you)" is "Afwan". You're welcome...

    I don't have anything to do with X but in case anyone does and wants to refute this dipper twat, the official attendance from Wikipedia for Yokahama Marinos vs City was 61,618 which was their highest gate for the season by a country mile - Avg. home gate 27,301, highest 42,772. Their game...
