Not ideal but that we’re able to substitute on Kalas in his place is impressive.

Middlesbrough might be starting to fancy their chances.

Huddersfield’s fixture list is very tough. I think they’ll be relegated.

The Championship is so tight and unpredictable that paying too much attention to who the draws and the wins come against feels a bit futile. Ten unbeaten, no matter who against and in what order, is a hell of an achievement. Well done lads.

Well look, it’s a bit disappointing. But we were due a slightly dud performance and it’s positive that we got a draw not a 1-0 or 2-1 loss. And personally it’s great to be frustrated that our somewhat unlikely play off campaign has faltered rather than sinking towards relegation. You never know, beat Sunderland and it looks a great result again!

Come on City. Find a late winner and I really will start to believe!

Admittedly I refreshed it at 9.59 to see what would happen, and they were on sale. Does seem a bit unfair that potentially a large chunk might have been sold before the advertised 10am (if it's now sold out?).

Done. That was easy. Almost disappointed it wasn't more frantic.

I'm sat here prepped at my laptop as if this is Glastonbury ticket day.

Have to wonder how many members we have, that haven't got 4 home games on their history – given the main benefit of membership is £5 off home games. Admittedly, I am one. Lucky enough to just borrow a season ticket most of the time when back, and otherwise buy away games. Only got a membership in order to get a Man City ticket, so suspect there's a few like me.

This is the most composed first OTIB post about us scoring I’ve seen. Had to read it twice to work out we’d scored! The follow up Yessss’ clarified it too.

09.01 is his birthday (apparently)

Does anyone know if we're intending to go for Cat 1 academy status? Presumably that would be a big deal.

TBH, most potential ties are not too bad. It's either going to be winnable (though we'd not necessarily be favourites) or a good day out vs a big team. Burnley and Sheffield Utd the only two who I'd really not want to play as they fit neither of the above criteria...

They're not really non-league at all in some ways. Can't say I'm super knowledgeable, but pretty sure their budget, squad and facilities are all possibly League One let alone League Two.

Not sure I'd fancy Wrexham away...

Good cup tie at Wrexham. 2-2 now.

Semeny-who?

Strangely confident for some reason.

Suspended, not injured apparently.

I think when you go 1-0 down in the second half, you can never be too disappointed with a point. Even if we had an opportunity for all three.

Warrington goalkeeper sent off today. The away fans stole his water bottle without him noticing, poured out the yellowy liquid, replaced it with their own urine, and then put the bottle back. When he took a drink of it, and realised, he squirted it at the fans. And got sent off! Incredible.

We have at least been consistently average for the last 40 years. Plenty of clubs who have overachieved relative to us for a small period, and plenty who have underachieved relative to us for a while too. We, though, are steadily, reliably, average to poor.

Not for money invested, fanbase, stadium.

I guess, like, Dublin have quite a shit football team. I think we’re undoubtedly the most under-performing club in England/Scotland though. Comfortably. Can anyone name someone worse??
