Being a City fan for well over 40 years I'm a natural pessimist. No amount of oil money has really changed that view, it's so entrenched. I knew it couldn't last; the world would end to stop us winning some silverware and then going on to the inevitable global domination. What would it be...

Raging debate going on here in Burns Towers over how many games our former legend started, in both the league and cup during his oh so brief stay with us. Family pride at stake and all that; I'm going with mcfc.stats which suggest 17 but could do with some back up which will be there in...

Fellow Bluemooner sat near me telling his mate that his wife knew he was married to City and that 'I can get a new wife, but can't get a new club - and she understands that'. It made me laugh anyway - wimmin's libbers are fighting a lonely and pointless battle in Tameside! Except in my house...

I understand seasoncard holders can get a 10% discount on flights with the airline to places such as Sydney. This has been confirmed by the airline who basically said enter your card number on the booking section in the website and the discount will be taken off. It's worth £100 so is well worth...

I'm old. I have glasses, and probably need a new eye test which will result in a slight alteration to the prescription. But when Djorou got his yellow - was it him - or was it Denilson (and it would have been a second yellow for him)? Plenty round me seemed to think so, but perhaps everyone...

My helper is no longer available to me for next season, so I need someone who is prepared to look after me and put up with my cantankerous moods. A free season ticket comes your way in return. I had planned to ask my brother, but since he voted Tory at the election just gone he can go and...

To be arranged in the near future for all those poverty stricken football agents who have suffered due to the financial demise of Portsmouth, to the tune of a whopping £9.7m. Included in the list is our old mucker Willie McKay. In the meantime you may wish to send some cash (used fivers only...

And very soon. I'm proud of the lads tonight, proud of my club, proud of our fans. We've taken that mob toe to toe all the way and didn't deserve to go out in that way. He had to play his best team in both legs, something he said he wouldn't do -and you know what - over the two legs there...

Just listening to Five Live before the eight o'clock news and this City fan was going on about taking two of her kids to the Arsenal game on Wednesday night. She let slip they were both United fans to which Green asked why she didn't drown them both at birth. Politically correct it wasn't, but...

I think the time has come that I've probably got to come out of the closet, so to speak, because as time moves on it will look a bit silly if the FA Watch campaign is fronted by a 'Montgomery Burns' - if we're want to come across as a serious organisation then I've got to behave serious from now...

Five minutes injury time I said to my daughter that they're going to carry on until United score again. 16 seconds after the goal the referee blew for time, according to Sky. You could not believe it, or rather, perhaps you could. How on earth does Martin Atkinson explain that? What on earth...

The ref, Martin Atkinson, is the guy who reffed the Stoke game last january and told the FA he would have sent SWP off had he seen the incident. a 3 game ban followed. Spooky.

The first of what might become a series of letters has been sent to the FA in connection with 'FA Watch', a campaign to highlight the inconsistencies in the way the FA and its officials apply the rules of the game, particularly in relation to the so-called Big 4. Today's chosen subject is Robin...

Thanks for this Neil; the rules of evidence are very interesting in so much that it confirms Adebayor can present written evidence but will be unable to cross examine the referee or other officials or bring the other player (in this case Van Persie) before the Commission to cross examine any...

Remember my little campaign against the Premier League last year, which morphed into an attack on the FA itself for its failure to ensure that the Premier League adhered to its own rulebook in terms of tapping up - of course you do! If you recall, the Premier League clubs had secretly agreed...

To express your disappointment? Try Meg Hewitt or Rishi Ahluwalia on 020 7745 4545. No doubt they'd be delighted to receive your calls, as customer feedback helps any organisation improve the customer experience. Contacting the FA via e-mail is difficult as they want you to complete a form...

The FA is corrupt, simple as. Are there any legal alternatives, doing what Bosman did and going straight to the Courts?

One of the more sinister aspects of this whole affair is the suggestion that Adebayor would be better off not attending the Emirates in the return match as it has been implied in parts of the media that his safety could not be guaranteed. IIRC one of those named who was making such suggestions...

Is almost certainly going to be used by the FA. However, a report tonight in The Guardian covering the UEFA appeal panel overturning the Eduardo decision states: 'Uefa also drew further criticism for employing video evidence to find Eduardo guilty despite Michel Platini, the president, refusing...
