    No apology necessary mate.

    Players from the past that you think would have thrived under Pep

    Pep has surprised me this season - giving up total ball control for a more flexible system. Many players could thrive under Pep - but many talented players have not.

    Will we win the league this season?

    Bang on! No transfer fee! Not sure if the fans (or Pep) will warm to a 63 year-old DM. But I'll give it my best!!! LOL.

    Will we win the league this season?

    Fun (or maybe not) fact. When I started playing football as a 7 year-old, I was RCB in a 5-3-2 formation - standard at the time. In college, I was set to join UC Riverside as a defensive midfielder, but due to my major, I transferred to UCLA (and wasn't good enough to get into that squad - alas).

    Will we win the league this season?

    >> You come over as a complete prat. It's one of my most endearing qualities :-). That said, I treat - or at least hope I do - honest discourse respectfully. But shit posters claiming or insinuating that I'm not a fan of City - or bringing my American nationality into question (hey, I fucking...

    I think you're replying to the wrong post, LOL. I fucking post whatever the fuck I think - heat be damned. I'm not only in the kitchen... I'm in the Goddamn frying pan!

    Will we win the league this season?

    For a supposed non-happy clapper - you're clapping quite loudly. As for "soccerball" - wtf is that? We play football... Oh.. I get it!!! It's a fucking smear against American fans. And in opposition to your claim, there is, in fact, a standout side in the league - Arsenal. Have you watched...

    Will we win the league this season?

    According to Google... The Premier League record for winning the title with the most games to spare is seven, set by Liverpool in the 2019-20 season. This was the earliest a team has ever won the Premier League title in terms of matches left to play. Liverpool (2019-20): Secured the title...

    Will we win the league this season?

    This post is so ridiculously stupid that I'm at a loss to posit a cogent reply. But here goes: 1) You regard loyalty as diametrically opposed to criticism - the two are not related. One may fervently hope that City win the title (as I do) but at the same time have an honest, unbiased opinion...

    Will we win the league this season?

    No you? FFS... this is a thread about whether or not we'll win the league. Your post is: 1) Content free; 2) Insulting; 3) And either you're simply farming for likes - or are a City fan-boy no matter what.

    10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

    Calm down please. Why did I think that Donnarumma was going to be a disaster? Why did I think that Cherki was prone to be lazy on defense? === Here's the main thing - it's Pep. The best manager in world football - he's adapted his ball control above all else style and has changeS 100%...

    Agree... except that the so many other sides could have offered for Cherki if they thought he was worth the buyout...

    10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

    Several factors at play. 1. I call things as I see them based on research - I'm no guru; 2. If I'm wrong, I admit it. 3. Cherki in this game was played as right wing and allowed to drift into center - with excellent cover in case of mistakes in the form of Nunes. Given the above... why did...

    52 | Oscar Bobb - 2025/26

    On current form I agree - but he's been fantastic on more than one occasion in previous games.

    10 | Rayan Cherki - 2025/26

    Cherki will never be a workhorse like Tevez was. He's lazy on defense - and that will probably always be the case. Given that he's fantastically gifted on the ball - and lazy - how do we best make use of him? I'd love to see a Foden-Cherki one-two combination through the middle - because...

    Aston Villa (A) | PL | Post Match Thread

    Cheers - my wording "out of position" is, in retrospect, not the ideal wording. By "out of position" I meant that Grealish didn't have license to drift inwards frequently - in which position he creates. As a City player, he too often hugged the touch line instead of being able to roam inwards...
