The Banshee definitely. But if you can make it out to Cambridge, Phoenix Landing is a good football bar.

But any Irish pub or sports bar downtown will have the channel or you got to do is ask the bartender.

Interesting comments from Pep.

He looks very happy with the coaching staff appointments and needed that reinvigoration. Which is great, even the best can fall into a slumber.

Jack was acknowledged as a good guy and a big part of the treble squad. However, 2 seasons later and he has hardly kicked a ball. That’s not great coming from pep. He said it was the clubs and his decision. I’m not sure he has a way back. You never know, the door looks closed so it will be interesting to see if Jack thinks he can get back to treble season form at city or take an easy option out. He can’t not play for another season as that would be ridiculous.

Pep said he didn’t like the captains. I am glad this has come up as I didn’t like how Walker behaved and I know we all love Kev but I also think he lost a little bit of hunger.

City ain’t a retirement home. Yes we hold on to some players maybe a season extra but it’s hardly the end of the world.

Really liking the revamp and you never know we may yet sign another 1 or 2. Depending on outgoings.

The club is backing pep to the hilt again. The harmony between owner and boss is a big reason this journey is continuing.

Bring on the good times. Can’t wait until we are smacking teams 3/4 goals per game like the good old days. Last season didn’t happen -:)
 
First time in ages that I'm really looking forward to see our starting 11. No way to predict what Pep's gonna do today.
 
I would be surprised if Bernado or Dias are involved tonight. They played in the Nations League Final just a few days before flying to America.

I don't think Gvardiol will either. He played a ridiculous amount of football last season, so should be used sparingly (in the group stages at least).

I've seen a few comments about city playing at a faster pace with the new players/coaching team. That may be the case, but if we don't, this may be the reason why...

Article is behind a paywall, but essentially it says that PSG said they knew they had no chance of playing the fast, pressing game, that has been so successful this season. Tiredness and heat meant that they tried to play "walking football", so that they could cope for the full 90 minutes. It also explains that they were never quite as fast and dynamic as they appeared last season - so it wasn't as big an adaptation as you'd think.

How and why Paris Saint-Germain play walking football

This, coupled with their fast starts and early goals, means PSG do not fatigue late in games - even in the sweltering U.S. heat
