Has McBurnie been inhaling helium?

That was a frustrating game to watch; a fair few poor performances in there, and very poor as an attacking threat. But, if you don't play well, don't lose. Saka was superb, our only real bright point going forward, and Kitching had a good game, too. Meh. Take it.

Yeah, sometimes you just have to give some credit to the opposition; this is a massive game for them, and they're throwing everything at it.

First 25 or 30 minutes of that were awful. After MvE looked so good on Friday, he's been awful tonight. So has Wright; he's not had much to work with, but has been very poor nonetheless. We've made some odd decisions at the back, too. Superb block from Kitching, mind. Needs to be a lot better...

That was a proper cowardly challenge. It's silly that he can't get a ban just because the referee booked him. The ref didn't realise it was worse than he thought, fair enough, but doesn't mean he should get away with it.

It was. Since promotion back to the Championship, that has been the only unsuccessful penalty against us. It's been annoying me for a while. In that first season back, we conceded something like 11 penalties, too. Even the two penalty shoot outs that we faced up until the Cup semi had 100%...

Needed them, being kicked by those boots.

Not City related, but this thread has caused me to learn that the all time England B top scorer is the splendidly named Bedford Jezzard.

I have googled this and found the answer; I will not reveal it.

Did Borrows and Oggy get B call ups? If they did, did they play?

Well, apart from that we sing it. Other than that, does it have to? Some of the best football songs are utterly random, and are all the better for that.

One of the IT guys at work looks a lot like Ben Brereton-Diaz. I may kick him in the balls when I next see him.

It's just salty opposition fans, no need to take it personally. A good riposte would have been, 'you're shit now that Cloughie's gone'. And there will be some bandwagon jumpers who turned their noses up in years gone by, but also plenty more becoming re-engaged again after becoming...

He describes himself as a chartered accountant and 'the baddest man on the planet'. I suspect at least one of those things to be untrue.

In reality, this season will have no bearing on who has the best chance next year. Anyone who goes up would need significant strengthening, and it would all be down to who does that best.

I disagree; like many he dipped mid-season and looked knackered. Other than that, he's been brilliant.

Tbf, he shouldn't be listening to the players.

And also quite often true that those clothes do look a bit silly. 'On-trend' things generally do; classic things don't. In the interests of fairness, I have to point out I looked an utter walloper as a younger adult.

Mainly they seem to be making a lot of the mistakes people made in the 1980s.

No, I'm not. I'm never above a terrible dad joke. Also, I hate the term 'ceiling'. Too much like corporate bollock-speak for me.
