Personally I believe that Jack is so exceptional at winning free kicks because he literally does not consider attempting anything else. Any player could become brilliant at winning fouls if it was the one and only thing they ever tried to do.

Riyad Mahrez was five times the player of almost any other winger we have had since 2018. I'm pleased for him that he's presumably earning a shitload at his new club but actually, keeping hold of him would have been far wiser. Even really exciting youngsters a la Savio and Doku can't really hold...

When you put it like that there really is no other way around it; that record is absolutely horrible. And I've said before and will maintain that I have more of an issue with the way we treat Jack than I do with Jack himself. Why is he a golden boy when Sterling was given dogs' abuse? Why is...

I don't disagree on that point at all; I have massive issues with Jack as a person and as a player and he should be doing far more for us.

I couldn't agree more, I feel like we did not realise how good we had it when Sterling was bagging an average of 22 a season. Missed some chances? Sure, but I still think he was exceptionally good for about half a decade for us. He'll always remain one of my favourite ever City players. I have...

The way I remember it, Palmer was abysmally bad for almost all of his last year with us. He only started looking like he was anywhere near good enough in the few weeks before he left. I remember him being embarrassingly far below the required level for all of his last full season. I will grant...

Jesus was never amazing in terms of output, but compared to the forward line we have now (bar Haaland) he was basically Ibrahimovic. I was not disappointed when we sold Jesus and I didn't regret selling him even when he was crushing it in his first few weeks at Arsenal - but I would take him...

It's unbelievable, looking back, just how good Aguero was. He was an absolute machine. The best City striker I have ever seen and it's not likely that I will ever change my mind again. That said I don't think Haaland's all-round game is anywhere near as bad as people tend to believe. I think...

I respect him hugely for trying to take accountability for his poor form but I simply disagree. The deal with Haaland is that if you put him in a team that functions well and creates loads of chances he will score you more goals than pretty much anyone else in the world could. The rest of the...

Makes sense, but the way I see it, traction is really easy to gain even if you don't have any substance behind it - just so long as you know where to look. A forum of people desperate for City transfer news? Sadly many people call that an easy target.

No, blindly trusting sources who you are unfamiliar with is stupid, which is precisely why I don’t trust a guy I know absolutely nothing about who happens to chuck a BeeGees video on the forum ever now and then. Of course you are more than welcome to believe whoever and whatever you like; I...

I think that he does make it up and I think there is much more evidence to support my position than to support the opposite position. We at the very least knows that he gets a real huge kick out of saying something that winds up the supporters, usually in the form of a music video that...

I just can’t possibly agree with the sentiment that you just stated which is essentially “yeah he’s lying to the fanbase but if you can’t understand and accept that then you’re the idiot and he’s not to blame at all”. Yeah, maybe your attitude to his posts is ‘oh it’s all just a bit of fun...

That isn't how he presents himself at all and it's incredibly bad faith to pretend that he does. He presents himself as a guy with inside info who should be listened to. He has described himself as a journalist on several occasions - that's not the language of someone who is just commenting as a...

He never says anything that he cannot plausibly defend by saying 'well it was true when I said it but things changed behind the scenes in a way I couldn't possibly have foreseen'. Essentially does not commit himself to any of his info.

Personally I think this is another one that's going to sting a bit. Don't get me wrong, I believe things will get better, but Villa are a good team with a good manager and lots of good players. And they're at home. I don't know if this game is going to go very well.

I'd love the rumours of 2-4 signings to be true but it seems very out of character for us. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see no first-team players come in.

Pep Guardiola and his team are, because they are not nearly as likely to have their judgement impacted by personal relationships or by groupthink.

I don't think they are the most qualified people. They are biased. Their judgement is inevitably clouded by friendships, by loyalty and by a desire not to rock the boat.

No disrespect mate but I completely disagree with this line of reasoning. I think he is as responsible as anyone for being a bad captain and here's why: We all know by now that under Pep, the players vote for who they want to be captain. If Walker gave them any indication whatsoever that he did...
