JK was great once somebody told him we play offside in the UK

I’m thinking Ross pranked the boss with salt in his tea . Can’t be footballing ability!

It’s a strong image . Ah look it clearly doesn’t work for everyone; I just get peed off with one size fits all crap politics.

Why? There are a number of productivity studies post COVID that show employees working at home to be more efficient and productive. The whole make them work in the office because loads of other people do is just another front in the endlessly boring culture wars.

Tbf didn’t Brunt tear up his contract before it was due to end, when he realised he wouldn’t get back?

Like them all but as with all initiatives they need enforcing on and off the pitch. Otherwise it’s the usual crack down becoming more tolerated becoming back to normal.

Think the lower ranked team is automatically at home in Germany? Although I like the uncertainty of not knowing at the draw whether you have more chance of a giant killing at home versus a trip to a big ground.

Agree but believe it’s financial and contractual

Read an article the other day I think where MP said he had extra comp tickets written into his contract, as he had so many friends and relatives wanting them!

Yup all true. As I said kinda reflects the top sides struggling at the moment

11 points from 5 seems low to be top of the form guide - lots of the top of the table sides not enjoying the pressure and nobody else putting a late run together. Not knocking us being top, just an observation.

Not completely sure I agree but certainly an interesting post

She was good. Noticeable to me anyway how players seem to be slightly more respectful to her. Could be that was just as she got most things right I guess. Not sure about the pen mind

Semenyo - pace and power as a single forward. Creates space for others. Would settle for Tammy or Cole though. Perhaps even Big John

Always good to get this one out

Look I still think it’s quite early to have a pop at Liam but in the interests of balance referring to him as ‘the Manning’ is a touch OTT too?

Football as a team game . Nah it’s all about individuals who are either complete rubbish or the love child of Pele and Messi. Never confused. He is mind

True and rubbish at defending set pieces anyway

£95m on the bench alone according to Sky

Zak didn’t find his range when he passed to Vardy to give him an open goal

What has Mehmeti ever done for us apart from the roads, viaducts, health system oh, and that brilliant finish to win us the game

I’m in Wembley and have moved to red wine. One Magners was enough

Careful that’s subversively rational

No signs at all? To start with we kept the ball more which I think was overdue if we were going to progress as a team. Watford away, West Ham, Forest away. Then the Southampton game, 4 games ago, was the best performance by a City team I’ve seen in a good while, regardless of how we played tactically and similarities to NPs. Certainly the most convincing performance against an ex Prem team given our record has been appalling against them in recent times. Look last few games are concerning, I’m not glossing over the big issues we have. I just don’t think it’s been nothing but decline since he took over .

Context was a bit different though - Tinnion had a year and a bit of mediocre results. Manning has had 5? Months and had some signs of progress at least, albeit others where we’ve gone backwards. That said I do remember saying to my wife that I hoped we’d get humiliated once it was clear we were going to lose that Swansea game, as it might force hands. Sure enough…..
