On Boxing Day there must have been almost five minutes from the referee awarding the penalty to Haaland eventually missing it. Pickford was literally using every time wasting trick in the book and it worked. Three days later Ortega gets a yellow card. It was deserved but Christ it smacks of...

History is written by the winners so ultimately we'll forget Gvardiol's soft back header (plus De Bruyne's suicidal backpass v Forest) whilst forever blaming Nunes for the derby defeat. Harsh, but regardless of the result, we seem to gift the opposition in every game.

I was genuinely curious and not necessarily having a go at the club. However I've asked a few people who normally sit around me to ascertain just how much the purchaser paid and whether it was directly from the City Ticket Office

I'm flying to Australia next Saturday so put my West Ham Ticket (block 219) on the Ticket Exchange and within 30 minutes I'd received an email from City confirming that it had been sold. I wonder if it had genuinely been bought by a City supporter or whether City had immediately sold it to a...

As a general benchmark I tend to remember Akanji's late mistake at Tottenham last season and the subsequent save from Ortega What struck me at the time was the number of posters asserting that Ederson wouldn't have saved it. Taking that in isolation I can't think of any other team or game...

Strange how Arsenal only get these head injuries in games where they're winning with just a few minutes remaining

Hopefully you're right

The thing that still baffles me is how the club identified the need for a speedy left footed left back and then spent the summer of 2022 seemingly on the verge of signing Cucurella I wasn't even bothered about Zinchenko going yet here we are more than two years later and still needing a speedy...

I was going to post something similar after being supremely optimistic that if we beat Everton then we'd cruise past Leicester and West Ham. There's been a huge drop since the treble campaign and the warning signs were there last season when we struggled without Rodri. However, we still had...

One minute I'm reading that Ake is out for a month and then suddenly he's ahead of schedule BRILLIANT NEWS! Then he goes off injured. A microcosm of the whole season.

That move when the ref played "advantage" (which was good refereeing) but then our shot was blocked and Everton nearly scored from the counter attack. That was almost the Mother of all farces, especially when the original culprit was then yellow carded.

In a sea of mediocrity I'd just about give it to Savinho, but other than Ake there weren't many candidates

I like that logic, plus Slot (for the moment) seems quite a decent bloke. In contrast I've recently formed a deep hatred for Arteta's time wasting Arsenal and all those ATV gobshites Fat Robby's too old to be wearing football shirts but Jaap Stam's lovechild is the real pricks prick.

If you'd been born around 1920 then you'd be less than 50 and might have also witnessed City winning the League Title in 1937 Sounds far fetched but no different to me seeing City winning the League Cup in 76 and then the FA Cup and PL under Mancini

Not listened to that Fat Talksport Gobshite since returning from the 4-2 defeat at Leicester and his insistence that Pep had already been sussed out by his PL counterparts He was talking bollocks then and he's talking bollocks now.

Lose the next three PL fixtures and we'll definitely be entering crisis territory Alternatively we beat Everton Leicester and West Ham and everything will look rosier, and the transfer window might conceivably open with City back in the Top Four. We draw at PSG and comfortably dispose of...

To be honest I'm still annoyed that we sold Dave Bennett. It certainly wasn't hindsight after scoring 4 of our last 7 league goals in 80-81 and even getting an assist in the Cup Final Replay. Plus all his goals in the LC that season. Then some idiot decided that Martin O'Neill was a better...

Claypole from Rentaghost lookalike and even less ability

Not necessarily disagreeing, but just before I fell asleep watching Fulham v Southampton I started focusing on Antonee Robinson who previously I've never really rated. As a pacy left footed left back that would surely make him an automatic choice for City

Not disagreeing about injuries, but that's a separate issue. My point was about the hunger and desire to sprint towards a goalscoring opportunity knowing that there's only a 1 in 10 chance that a rebound might fall in your direction Liverpool are brilliant at it, but apart from Foden (in top...
