Talk of a group of players in the Bundesliga planning to come out on May 17th, the last weekend of the season in Germany and also International Day Against Homophobia. There's been reports like this in the past, that a player is planning to come forward, only for nothing to happen. Worth taking...

Done a good job with Feyenoord. Won them their first Eredivisie title in six years, won them the Dutch Cup at the weekend. But it's not Klopp, is it?

I remember speaking to Alistair Mann in 2016, just as Pep came in, and he said exactly the same. After Ferguson retired there was a hole to be filled and City had a chance to start a dynasty. We missed it. It came eventually with Pep, but Chelsea only finished on 87 points in 2015 and Leicester...

To be fair, the amount of blue-on-blue fighting at Wembley before, during, and after the Wigan cup final suggested that many wanted Mancini to stay. "You can stick your Pellegrini up your arse" was the chant. After the game went to shit and Wigan nicked it the fighting only got worse. If it'd...

The man who started the turn of the tide, whether we knew it or not at the time. United wanted him, City got him. He carried that Mark Hughes side on his back and got us as close to Champions League football as he could. The first City captain to lift a major trophy in 35 years and the first...

Pellegrini at the end of the 14/15 season. Everyone could see we were going backwards and that he wasn't the man to stop it. He was wasting huge resources on bad buys and was allowing the squad to stagnate and grow old, freezing out handy squad players and replacing them with absolute duds. Had...

I doubt all of that explains why he can suddenly control a ball first time.

And yet Arsenal could win all their remaining games 5-0 and still not win the league.

It's fair to question evolution.

No idea why but his first touch also seems to have gotten much better in recent weeks? It's like he's simultaneously started to understand both himself and Pep at the same time? Would like to see him from the start in a game and see what he can do but throwing him into games for 30 mins when the...

Yep. We'd have gone down in that 03/04 season were it not for James. That penalty save at Leicester from Dickov to keep the game at 1-1 should be up there with other big moments where City rescued were rescued from oblivion.

She's still pregnant I think. Probably just having an extra day after playing over 200 mins in a week.

I said it's fair enough to question it, not that the wrong frame was used.

Feel free to read my follow-up post, though.

I can't stand VAR and would jump for joy if the FA got rid of it next season. But I think a lot of people blaming VAR for Coventry's goal being chalked off need to think about the same scenario happening in a world where VAR was never invented. Think of the following scenario: O'Hare plays the...

It's not though is it. It just looks like that because when the ball is played you can't even see where Wan Bissaka is. Wright was offside. It was a tight call and a harsh one but ultimately the correct one. Whether we want these kinds of tight (but ultimately right) offside calls being made is...

Expecting no favours from Chelsea or Everton really but I live in hope.

Penalty shootout is separate from the match itself. Same thing happened with Emi Martinez for Villa in the week and he's not missing the next round either. Although, honestly, we need Onana in net for them in the final.

Ortega Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake Foden, Rodri, Kovacic Bernardo, Alvarez, Grealish

We've got to get him back for the West Ham game, especially considering who his first City game was against.
