There’s a slight irony in my mind that if we’d still been playing a back 3 regularly then White would probably be first choice.

Think it’s a legacy of the ‘England DNA’ push about 10 years ago where it was more important that players were technically gifted above all else. Not suggesting it’s bad that we are, just lack the defensive attributes like positional discipline.

For reference, a list of English centre midfielders (not in the squad) that started the last round of PL fixtures: Kobbie Mainoo James Garner Lewis Cook Tom Davies Ollie Arblaster Adam Wharton Ross Barkley Harrison Reed Ryan Yates Kalvin Phillips Sean Longstaff It’s hardly a list you look at...

I don’t like the fact Henderson is in the squad but I sort of get it. There’s a dearth of English talent at centre mid. Do I think Mainoo is the answer long-term? Yes. But I’ve always thought the younger players should do their stint with the U21s before moving to the senior squad, and it’s a...

In any other walk of life it’d be an ‘anti-bribery & corruption’ red flag. In politics, it’s just *shrug* and carry on.

Yes. Reckless.

It has to be Livin on a Prayer. Anything else is the wrong answer.

Lot of hand-wringing about the points system which is a bit sad. Been a ST holder for about 18 years but my younger brother has his first ST this season. I’d never previously made an effort with cup games etc but now we have to build his points up we’ve been to all the FA cup games as well as...

Biamou’s first for the club was always one I enjoyed. Think it was against Swindon? Hit that hard the cameraman couldn’t keep up! Edit: this got me watching Biamou’s goals for us. Far from a great goal scorer, but a scorer of great goals.

Was having a bit of a whinge about this the other day. It’s almost expected that strikers will score every game otherwise they’re shit.

It’s exactly that. Reality suggests we’re going to have to move Bidwell on if we’re looking to bring in a first choice, even though it would be far more preferable to ship out Dasilva. I think we need to put a stop to Viveash having any involvement in recruitment!

Actually thought he had a really good game til the 2nd City goal went in. Went to shit after that.

Surprises me how below-par Latibeaudiere is on the ball for someone who came through Man City’s academy. That was like 2015.

Without digging up old ground, I think had they done that it’d have opened up an easy attack line.

Absolutely not an endorsement, merely an observation.

We have used some old wrestling music from time to time this season. Had Triple H’s entrance song after HT a few times. Also John Cena’s. I wonder if the ‘dj’ is/was a big wrestling fan. Or Charlie Methven.

Will likely be pretty rank reading. Clearly the activity since will have softened the blow somewhat and it’d be interesting to see what the notes are around that.

6/1 for City to win by 5 or more.

Was also musing at the weekend whether any new social housing could have covenants included in the title that the property cannot be privately let.

Not that it matters now, but it was a bit ‘butterfly effect’ wasn’t it? He might have got into a position to head it..?
