Didn't we try and sign Mikautadze 2 years ago?

And 3 years ago, we were first linked in Kompany's first window. He's been a repeated target for a number of years.

It does seem to be a 3atb system used in both games so far with us playing wider against Sunderland. Our formation actually doesn't seem to dissimilar to what Amorim is trying to play at ManUre Its distinctly different. As much as anything its actually situationally flexible, going into a 442 at ti...

you're not comparing apples with apples though, agree with your facts, but we started with basically a new team & manager, it wasn't until Jan when Edwards arrived that we were fully settled as the team we wanted, which included attacking intent. Therefore for me when comparing it should be done fr...

Chris Brookmyre is an incredible writer thats worth delving into. Start with Quite Ugly One Morning and work from there.

One of the angles (from side on) shows a clear change in the ball's spin/pace/height/flight after it passes Traff's hand.

It's a world-class save, up there with Heaton against United/Zlatan & Nick Pope against Palace/Benteke.

Don’t forget Pope against Cavani

It also makes it the joint eighth longest unbeaten run in the whole history of English football.

*caveat in this being that it’s based on an article from the other year about City’s run at the time https://www.iffhs.com/posts/3966

12 wins, 1 draw, 1 defeat equals the same points total from two years ago. That one goal from open play came in the game where CJ was injured and Egan was playing as well. The defence record is amazing, but its really impressive when you realise that when CJ ER and Steve have been playing as a pair...

Johansson has faced the most shots in the entire league so he has more ‘chances’ at preventing goals, if you will. Trafford is simply an all round better keeper and 21 clean sheets means he HAS to be in this. Maja is a bizarre one to be honest, purple patch at the start then nothing. Having said th...

Go on I’ll ask the question, can he play tomorrow?

Yes, cut off is 12pm today and if it’s announced already then the ink is dry. Whether he will is a different question.

Also look at Worral on the sidelines at the weekend, really stood out as exactly the type of character you need for a run in.

Absolute madness, their last 5 games have all been top 7 teams, to have got anything out of those matches is some effort.

Sorry, but imo there's no good blended whiskey. Get a single malt (basically any single malt) and it's absolutely lovely. Otherwise, it's bobbins. The short sightedness of this comment has been enough to get me to login and comment, which is extremely rare. There’s some excellent blends out there, ...

Theres the sports bar in Las Coloradas in Playa Blanca that’s likely to have it on, we’re planning on being in there and Miguel is usually able to find the match. It’s a bit of a trek round, but if you go over Femes then it’s significantly quicker.

Don’t think Cullen was seriously bad at the start of the season, the tactics of having Cullen sitting whilst 5 other players pressed was the issue. Villa, spurs and Chelsea at home in particular That was in part an issue but there was Brentford away, Onyeka ran off him for the third like he wasn’t ...

That smile was against QPR. Field absolutely hammered it and it pinged off Muric's chest

I'm sure we all noticed it. I also loved how a few times when there was danger in the box he came and collected. I think he punched once and did wonder if he could have caught it, but yeah had a good game. It wasn't a great punch but given the wet conditions a punch was probably the right choice, e...

I’ve just watched it back and Maatsen and Breyer should be dealing with it front post, really that simple.

Boden's left the Burnley Express, it's a joke
