Manning and BT out before ST renewal deadline please!!

watching the FA cup games this weekend, god I yearn for that sort of passion and excitement for a City game, last time was probably the league cup run!

maybe a brief spell in the top flight doesn't make you 'not dull', but it's the journey to get there and the promotion(s) before it that I envy... I've had a season ticket 12 or 13 years and the highlight was promotion from L1 (and the cup run under LJ). One and a half seasons out of 12. Meh.

Been 3 or 4 times snowboarding, I love the place... no idea what it's like in May, but had some mental times at la folie douce, and love a good raclette

yep, I can't question anybodies religion, but I have been very worried about health when managing workers on site observing ramadan!!! yep, for all their quality, I can't ever get too excited watching Man City... just like Pep's Barcelona. Bores me.

yep, I can't understand making subs that weaken your team when you're 1 goal away from ET... but I've just enjoyed a great game with over 50 shots... makes it all the harder watching Manning ball... (but we won our cup final, we beat Southampton!)!

miss the semi, won't he??

no he isn't

yes they are, there are a number of reasons / allowances, but he has chosen to fast I believe. Refusing liquids even

honestly I don't know, can't immediately think of any others?

Salah off may cost Liverpool here, but understandable, heroic effort to play that well whilst fasting!!! I remember I was supervising some drilling works out in Abu Dhabi during Ramadan, workers dropping like flies and sleeping in the shade under the machines, haha

couldn't agree more... I know it's probably a British thing, in other countries play acting is seen as part and parcel of the game, but he has to be one of the most annoying, whiney footballers I can remember, and a shocking role model / captain... I hate when England play Portugal, as there are 11 Brunos haha

not sure I'm seeing some of the trends you point out tbh in those first 2 figures, to me it looks more like consistency has been lost and we are all over the place! or it could be the beers... the running net xG. is damning, though I do hate xG

I appreciate your passion for stats here, I do love a good graph, but I'm quite glad I don't spend this much energy on City

as a neutral, enjoying the FA cup games this weekend!

at least it's not as much of a mess as rugby union!

my bad, I misread the price per game number as the increase from last year! long day at the office haha

...

probs not renewing...

utter embarrassment... not renewing with this idiot involved.

it's mad. we probably only need 4 points over 10 games to be safe, but until we win again, and the teams below keep picking up points... what a mess.

had similar thoughts myself... if the form of the last 4 repeats over the next 4 we are almost in the bottom 3. We need a win ASAP...

I think the number of teams below us will just about save us, BUT if you look at the last 4 results for ALL of the teams below us (ignoring Rotherham who are down!) they have ALL picked up a good number of points, and we are only 6 points (or less) ahead of them. If we lose the next 4 and they all pick up 4-6 points, we are right in it. They are almost all on good little runs at the minute. We are within 6 pts of them all... I know they will play each other, etc, but this worries me. Last 4 games of the teams below us: City 0pts Swansea 7 Plymouth 3 Blackburn 3 Millwall 7 QPR 10 Birmingham 4 Hudddersfield 4 Stoke 3 Wednesday 12

they would be fine year 1 wouldn't they? unless we were romping the championship, no way they could charge silly prices in March without knowing we'd go up?

I've only had a ST for 12 or 13 years, despite my age, but went a fair bit before that. I increasingly doubt I will ever enjoy a season as much as that Cotts year in L1... getting spanked every week in the prem wouldn't be fun that's for sure, but hoping one year we put together a run in the Champ and get there, but even if I see another 30 seasons I've no confidence it'll happen!!
