pretty sure a bulb would go out close to the show starting and a complete change of approach would be required.Ā No, he'd then pointlessly swap out all the other bulbs into nonsensical positions and stand there wondering why nothing worked. Heād be putting a bayonet bulb into a screw fitting. Then take it out on 60 minutes and try another bayonet ā¦ The screw lightbulb has been leant to Blackpool illuminations.

The beat midfielder in the world picks out a pass only he sees and it's pitiful defending š¤ It was a lump forward into the box from around 30 odd yards out. If we'd have conceded a similar goal today our defense would have been slaughtered on here.
āA lump forward into the boxā? Okaaaay ā¦ As Digs said, heās unreal. To pass the ball into the bottom corner from that distance shows how good his technique is. I donāt think Pep has them lumping it into the mixer! On a side note, midfielders who can pass the ball to a forward is not a quarterback, no matter what Micah Richardās might think. This could be in the things that piss you off of little importance thread. Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.

No way KN has come over from California in the middle of winter and wonāt sack Moore. To be fair, Mooreās been dealt a shit hand but he isnāt the answer. If we donāt get 5 or 6 points in the next three game (which is probably unlikely), heāll be gone.

While I donāt think Moore is the right man for the job, and never was, whoever has left him with a squad that doesnāt have a striker for most of the season needs to go first!

Absolutely brainless not bringing him back and not having any strikers in the matchday squad.

Imagine being Kev and Dave getting up at 6am to watch some of the performances this season. Then imagine youād spent a load of money buying the club, employing advisers to take care of things like player and management recruitment ā¦ I bet their half-time chats werenāt about how DM needs more time to implement his style of football! KN came across really well again. Sounds like weāll be giving DM some players to give him a chance (he had been dealt a bad hand), so letās see from here. Not overly optimistic, but things certainly looking up.

Is he still involved with the media side of things at Man City? Great bloke, very amusing. He came to watch me play football in France once and had a good chat.* *Not completely true! He was covering a Champions League game in Monaco and was staying with an ex-City player who played 5-a-side with us. He was basically Cityās Brooky wasnāt he? Pretty sure he is retired now but something of a legend at City in his kit man role. Yeah, he was the kitman, but he was so popular and such a character theyād moved him into working for City TV or whatever they called it.

Fighting at football is absolutely stupid, especially on a bus/tram full of cameras. The idiot that threw these punches will get a ban and probably jail time. Daft. However a few things to consider before jumping to too many conclusions - 1) thereās no evidence of a glass on this video 2) these lads dressed in āhooliganā clothes wonāt have been innocently attacked out of nowhere, it is likely they instigated it 3) it looks like teenagers fighting teenagers rather than anyone older 4) and Iāve seen at least 5 fans from other teams saying this lad sits by the away end offering to fight the away fans outside This video from afterwards shows them showing off about it: Again, not saying any of it is right but thereās probably more than meets the eye here. Hooligan clothes? Heās got a replica shirt on?

Weāre terrible, we all know this. 5-0 seems acceptable. Letās crack on. Few more incomings this month and hopefully move up the table. I think itās doubtful weāll be comfortable mid-table though. On Thomas, heās putting more effort in, but he remains brainless. The offsides were ridiculous for a professional footballer, he wasnāt even close. To be fair, he isnāt a striker so will have little to no experience of breaking an offside trap. I thought he did very well considering he was being played out of position. Canāt blame DM for that though, we had no one else. Itās a fair point. He worked hard, but not his position. Not sure how long Burgzorg is out, but with Bojan and possibly Rhodes, we may not need him as a lone striker.

Very brave punching that young lad in the face when he clearly had no intention of fighting anyone. Hope he's ok Embarrassing. Hope the lad is ok and the dickhead gets his comeuppance.

Reminded me of when Jack Hunt āburst on the sceneā against Arsenal. Played well and should be in the first team squad the rest of the season.

Oh yeah, forgot about him. Sorry Herbert, your two league titles, FA Cup and Charity Shield are outweighed by the "I finished 3rd and didn't go up but I'm still a genius trophy". TWO? What sort of Town supporter doesn't know it's three titles, and like ducks, all in a row? Chapman had left for Arsenal before the third. Cecil Potter manager for that last one.

Iām debating whether the team that lost 10-1 was better than the one weāre likely to turn out on Sunday.
Cox, Brown, Bray, Banks, Webster, Walford, Barham, May, Shearer, Winter, Cork
Iād say itās probably better! Doku, Haaland and De Bruyne possibly making comebacks. Iām genuinely concerned we could lose by more. š¬

How was that ever a sending off for DCL? Poor ladās usually injured, plays a game and gets suspended. We are definitely in a dangerous place with the way VAR works in these cases. By recommending the on field review that seems to put too much pressure on the referee. It's like....'that's a red...you have to agree'. We've only had a couple of intances I think of onfield reviews leading to the original decision. VAR...if it needs to exist, which I'm not sure about, needs to rule the factual decisons only but the onfield ref has too much power removed now on these judgement issues. If the ref genuinely hasn't seen something due to obscured view then ok.but if he's seen it....leave it to his judgement. We've all seen shit decisions prior to VAR but still seeing shit decisions after too. That shouldn't be a red....whether that needs a law change or better referring. There also....since I'm off on one....needs to a 'zone'allowed on offsides. There is no.way of absolutely precisely finding the point of contact for the pass and a fraction of a millisecond can make the difference. And bloody linesmen need to flag when it clearly is....players have been injured now playing on when they should be. I'll go and calm down now....! Agreed. Bizarrely, if an arm hair is offside after 10 minutes of replays then a goal is ruled out, yet the ball goes miles out of play like that West Ham one at Arsenal the other week and thatās fine.

Always direct from the club or their official ticket supplier. Otherwise youāll get ripped off. The only other occasion would be if itās sold out, but shouldnāt be a problem at Lazio. I suppose it depends on who theyāre playing, but tickets on sale a week before the game in Italy.

Playing devilās advocate a bit here, but would City winning it remove a millstone from around our neck and we can start looking forward rather than back for a change? Obviously, weāre proud of our history, but 100 years on, none of us were alive to see it and we still have three stars plastered over every piece of tacky merchandise in the club shop. I remember when it was just us and Arsenal, feeling sick when Liverpool joined our elite group, but as more teams have been added I wonder if itās time to move on.
Anyone but Liverpool for me.
