I'm with DM4M on this. If they were any good (remember, they are professional footballers, after all) at taking corners, surely they wouldn't need the ball to be overhanging the line. Not having a go (perish the thought) Norbiton. But I don't see what advantage it gives the taker. To put it...

I'm going for 3-0, City.

Nip round and ask him who that goalie is then, eh? It's driving me nuts! While you're at it, get him to tell you which one Mike Quigley is. Ta.

Assuming one of them is Michael Hugues (thank God Pep didn't let him go, too), would that put Mike Sheron in the same era?

Next to Ward, then?

Too early for Quigley, three in from the right? Paul Kelly (?) three in from the left. That's me done, I think.

Thomptstone, the one who scored at Boro? Next to Stewart? That woiuld be the right period, I think.

Taggart between Pardoe and Reddo; Ashley Ward next to Skip;Beckford between Machin and Hinchcliffe; Langley next to Lakey; Barret between Scott and Varadi; ; Hughes (?) next to the cup; Mike Walllace far right hand side, bottom row?

I like him. He'll come good.

Good luck to the lad. Good luck to all the club's young players. In fact, good luck (or at least, less bad luck) to the club's not-so-young players, too, at the moment. But I digress. I admit, I have often wondered why we can't get more full-backs through from the Reserves to the First...

I thought it was only me that gets wound up by this. Seems to be one of those things that has crept into the game and is overlooked. Should have been a penalty. Anywhere else on the pitch it would be a free-kick. But they're never given. So opponents will keep doing it. Wierd. It's like that...

Hard to know what to add, to be honest. Shades of 'Apart from the shooting, Mrs Lincoln, how did you feel about the play?' Let us be honest, even Pep finds it difficult to know what to advise. The situation is unique in his experience. Two poor teams (made up of wonderful players, mind)...

I know it's only based on highlights. But Mukasa really stands out and seems to make everything look easy - the ultimate compliment.

I had to laugh when the camera panned to Akanji shouting, "Phil, Phil, Phil, Phil... Phil!" in the style of Alan Partridge shouting, "Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan... Dan!"

First City goal (maybe a brace) for Savinho, today...

I watched with French commentary. And all they wanted to talk about was how good our young players were. I agreed with them.

Brilliant old fashioned goal celebration from Nunes!

With photos of old City team groups, does anyone else instinctively name the players in their heads running from left to right, starting at the back row?

It's finally happened: first time in my life someone is playing for City that I have genuinely never heard of. Good luck to all younger lads tonight, but especially McAtee and Brathewaite. C'mon City!

Let's be honest, he must have been a really talented lad. You just don't get anywhere near any of the clubs he's played for unless you're head and shoulders above almost everyone else trying to make it in the game. I know it didn't work out for him at City. But he had what it took for him to get...
