Agree. Taking on a foreign manager rarely works in international football. It’s no coincidence that no foreign manager has ever won the World Cup. There’s only been two to get to the final. As a side note one of those, George Raynor did it two years after managing City. Meanwhile only one has...

Can’t recommend Barmy Flags enough. Quality is unmatched and the customer service is excellent.

Should be worth noting that at this stage last season 6th place had a point more than we do now. This indicates that it could be quite a low total again that gets play offs.

Group stage tickets so far but conditionally guaranteed the rest. Doing the Eurostar there and back on 15th-17th June. Flying home and back out there on 1st-4th. If I end up using that flight on the 4th (meaning we’ve won in the R16) I will probably stay there then until we’re out. Got a hotel...

Wright limps out. Truly awful performance.

It’s like most player issue kits at the top level now. Completely different to the replicas. I like the design. Nod to the early 80s on the sleeve. The less said about the away one the better.

Very pleased with the draw. If we win the group we’re in the same area for most of the tournament. If we finish 2nd it’s 7 different stadiums. Can’t get much better than that. Train is booked and looking at apartments at present. Easy and cheap to get back when needed. Like who we’ve been drawn...

I’d change a few things. Get rid of the throw in rule. Let the player throw it however they like. Saying they have to have two feet on the floor and having to throw it a certain way is like telling the corner taker they can only use the inside of their foot. Wastes so much time too. Also in a...

My West Ham mates have all said he’s been abysmal the last few weeks and looks like he’s been running through treacle. Might be an injury he’s playing through.

It’s a random draw. They’ve got a very good record there.

We were only talking the other day about when they’ll go on sale. February or March would be my guess. Can guarantee the early bird and PLP deadline will be well before the fixtures are confirmed either way.

Incredible stand. Proper hero level stuff. Was hoping the game would go the other way but sometimes you have to watch and admire brilliance like that.

First goal was one of the best strikes you’ll see this season. A lot of raw talent in that side but it’s like men against boys at times. I think they’ll be getting much better results towards the end of the season.

Been thinking we need to go down this route for a while. Nothing wrong with having two holding midfielders. Sometimes that makes a side more attack minded as there are two to quarterback the play and sweep up any balls when they come out of the box. If there’s just one there’s more of a chance...

Hopefully Julian Gray finally gets his chance to prove himself and get back in the team.

Saudi has clearly got some serious issues and was hoping it was going to go to Australia, NZ and maybe the Pacific Islands. However I’m hoping having this event and all the others they’re pitching for and investing in helps certain demographics who live there live a better life.

To be fair that was said last year and we didn’t have a problem at all. The wife wore strappy dresses that were just above the knee. Me and my mates wore shorts just above the knee. I asked a local guy early on in our visit if we were ok dressing like we were and he said his family always does...

Ramadan is 11th November - 10th December that year. That’ll probably throw a spanner in the works.

Hopefully the tweets from the Nottingham players that were on the ice and bench at the time dispel any suggestion it was intentional. Fair play to them for speaking out.

It could be that this is a Phil Hughes moment in hockey. That was a freak accident during play and now the extra protection on the helmet is pretty much standard. One is one too many. Such a tragic incident and must’ve been horrible to be there in the arena. Thoughts are with everyone involved.
