Bang on.

It’s true. The weaknesses have been visible for a while. The world was saying we were invincible, we knew we weren’t. One weakness is that Pep is so used to being right he’s slow to fix when he’s wrong. We are open in midfield, off target at the top and slow in defence. But if anyone can sort...

The way things are going this could turn out to be the new York Away! Not missing this one for the world.

I like the player but I'm struggling to understand why Haaland looks so 'shot'. He's younger than most of our squad, between the amount of time he's been in the PL and international call-ups he's played less fixtures than most of our squad, and much of his time is spent waiting for the ball...

Bang on and well-predicted.

Which would be a shame, because I like him, but tbh I’m not sure we’ve been technically better with him than we were with a false 9, although he definitely gave us confidence on the way to the treble. Even when he gets the ball he can still be inconsistent. Missed a few sitters this season - and...

Then again it might not be fixed. The world preferred us when we were underachieving and not owned by Arabs and the football establishment has done what it can to undermine us off the field. The impact of that is now showing because it has forced us to be conservative with net spend and transfer...

I wouldn’t mention Haaland in the same breath as Rodri at the moment. Rodri creates, Rodri scores, Rodri maintains control. Haaland can finish beautifully if everything else going perfectly around him and is bigger than everyone else, but has been underwhelming, inaccurate and behind the beat in...

Haaland and Foden have been the biggest disappointments on the pitch for me this season. Haaland had absolutely no impact on last night’s game whatsoever. None. Even when crosses were going in he was a beat behind. The heat is all going to players who aren’t all that experienced - Rico - or are...

This is the thing. The possibility of season ticket hoarding or a no show with a flexi is minimal. Not only does the club know if you’re not taking up your seat three weeks before, but even if you take up your seat you can still sell it back to the club up to a week before in the way you would a...

The supporter gets a guaranteed seat/significant discount on the matchday price and the club gets to know weeks in advance if they’re turning up or not, avoiding the problem of no-shows and season ticket hogging. You talk a lot of sense jrb but in the scheme of things flexis are not a problem...

Best wishes to you and your mum, Blue.

Best team performance of the season, if we are nitpicking there were times we were lucky Forest lacked accuracy, but the boys played out of their skins from the whistle and our support was very good. CTID.

Had to be blistering Doku for me, but last night really showed how much we had missed De Bruyne, Dias, Ake and Grealish for much of the season too. Great to see Gundo and Bernie looking more like themselves again. Beyond the scoreline, that was the team performance of the season for me, pure...

Perhaps. But there's been other academy players who the same has been said of - Palmer - who many feel we should have been a bit more patient with now...

I'd say that's true of most of the side though. Is Phil at his best, is Haaland, is Bernie, is Gvardiol? No chance. Will Stones EVER be fully fit again? It's a collective problem we've got right now, mistakes are happening all over the shop.

Local Blues are not blameless. Ticket prices could of course be cheaper, and there are people genuinely priced out, but.... there are still reasonably priced games that folk aren't bothering with, and if it weren't for so-called tourists there would be empty seats. I know people who would...

Agree, Rico is quality. Yes he needs to bulk up a bit but the fact Pep trusts him more than any other academy product since Foden (who has been pretty much invisible this season) speaks for itself. Rico's performances were better last season than they were this season but that applies to the...

If he was fit enough to start every game it would have to be Kev. Bright man, proven history of rallying the troops, exemplary character. The same could be said of Gundo were he in old form - I can imagine both having successful management careers. That said I think we should cut Kyle a bit of...

Interesting how things wax and wane with the times...but yes I'm talking about 80s and early 90s - in that period the United fans I knew were generally Irish Mancs - and my dad, an armchair Red who loved to drink in Irish pubs - but City were bigger to my memory, not to mention the sheer number...
