Which Man City players would you say are detestable? They all seem very likeable to me

I agree that Palmer should get the nod over Saka, who's looking a bit jaded at the moment. But Foden is arguably more dangerous when he plays in the middle, in the no 10 role

I could've sworn we won 5-0 a few days ago...

Five unbeaten

Yeah I can't remember the last time we got four clean sheets in a row. The last time we got three was in 2020 under Dean Holden

I think we're in good hands with this guy

To be fair, in terms of success, Ipswich have long been a superior club to us

Yeah not bad

Pearson still had a pretty good squad to work with last season

Where are you getting that timeline from?

Well, that may have been his remit at the beginning

They're fair points Dave, and as a paying customer you're more than entitled to your opinion. As I've previously stated, I would prefer to have neither Manning nor Pearson in charge. Neither have filled me with much enthusiasm. But equally, I think some of the criticism of Manning has been ramped up because of what happened to his predecessor, and I don't think that's entirely fair

Not at all. It's two men working with much the same set of players

Well, as I said, I'm prepared to give him a summer. And he'll get that anyway, so everyone will have to accept it

Sure, and he did some good work here - but two and a half years on, his results were much the same as the guy who's supposedly out of his depth
