A question for one of the breaks on the Jeremy Vine show was:

What is unique about the Zerao stadium in Brazil?

a. It has a retractable roof made of palm leaves?
b. The hallway line is exactly on the equator?
c. The stadium has a waterfall?

I said to Mrs Vienna, it can’t be the third one, as that is the swamp.

I've got to share this.
A neighbour across the road from me was a diehard RAG home and away throughout the 1980’s onwards sadly he passed away six years ago.
His grandson is 5 years old today and outside the house is decorated with 50+ blue and white balloons and a flag with a CITY creast & photo on it.
He would be fuming if he could see his grandson is a BLUE. Made my day this morning. CTID

New CB out for 6 months.

What a shame.

Good job they've got 23 year old Jonathan Evans to fall back on. They'll be fine.

Is Phil Jones available?

3 Months according to Luckhurst . . . is he reliable ?

My 14 yo son broke his metatarsal last fall (we’re in the US and were told it’s extremely common for football and basketball players - his broke while playing the later). They told us 6-7 weeks for teenagers and he was back playing competitive basketball at 7 weeks. Basketball doesn’t require as much running (time wise) and the subbing rules allow you to manage minutes upon return, but I assume elite athletes have better care than my son! Anyway, I assume 6+ weeks is accurate.

Surely this isn't right. I was told by a Rags fan that it's only fair they get the renovations of Old Toilet subsidised by the government as City were given a 'free stadium' after the Commonwealth games.

I did advise him that my understanding was you actually rent it from the Council but apparently I'm a stupid Arsenal fan and don't know about how City have 'influenced' the council to get the stadium 'for free'.

When we exercise our right to buy the freehold and all the rent paid is given back to us, there will be a wailing and gnashing of teeth.
