Well done On the new contract Boss - well deserved following last season & great to hear your staff & our key man Rice signing also!
19 Sep 2026 22:43:54
Well that puts us into perspective and big reality check - quite pathetic.
1 shot on target - that was King Kai clean thru hitting the keeper.
Have we really started well - Coventry are poor ( Brighton stuffed them) , Villa ( Forest beat them) & Sunderland fortunate, Chelsea ( Brentford spanked them) . let's keep our feet on the floor and get back to playing football after the break.
Let's add some quality in Jan - let's not rely on Eze & Tzolis on left wing or Kai & Vic up front - add quality and strengthen the starting 11.
Yes the squad is strong but we haven't improved starting 11 - not a single signing from last season is good enough to start. That's poor. Yes I know we won the league but we want to keep winning.

What a shame. Every player on that pitch needs to be docked their wage. The performance was awful. The tactics even bad. I don't usually slate the team but honestly yesterday was a joke. I was not expecting a walk in the park Brighton away is difficult and their current form has been good. Did the club throw that game willingly. i'm shocked
Is Big Gabs carrying an injury throught the game i noticed him limping and not looking happy with himself. For me Guimaraes needs to be further up. Declan rice hold your head in shame Saka needs to cut the diva bs out and concentrate on his game. Odegaard was a no where. Although it would not have made the difference Kai should have scored in that position. We need a striker that does not fail in that position. I love the guy but at this stage I would not have him as our number one, Give Gyokeres game time to prove himself. He needs to prove himself quickly.
All that's said its a blib pull our socks up after the break hopefully we don't get any injuries. Its a long season and no doubt we will have difficult games and we may loose some but not in that way please guys We need better.
19 Sep 2026 14:12:15
Raya; Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Guimaraes; Saka, Odegaard, Tzolis; Havertz
Subs: Arrizabalaga, Hincapie, Eze, Gyokeres, Madueke, Merino, Zubimendi, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman.
Sussex, How many signings from last years window have started this season in a competitive game? All just squad additions or great signings?
Great to see Bruno start & Timber back ?
Big test today - let's show everyone what we are made of! Hope Vic comes on & scores at the right end ?? COYG
Well done Spurs.

Ornstein rumour - we are asking about Malick Fofana now. However, we don't want to pay anything near the €40m asking price.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 19:54:01
What do I know? Played 12 games last season due to ankle surgery! Injury prone, so get him a bed in the Abou Diaby Suite, and while he's there, draw him a picture of what a goal looks like! Happy to eat humble pie though COYG. ?♂️
2.) 31 Aug 2026 22:11:22
Ndiaye was "begging" the Premier League champions to sign him.
: "Waited all day to understand if Mikel wants him or not."
Now signed for City - don't we want an attacker, judging by today & last year?
Probably pay it safe & sign no one & get a defender. ?
3.) 31 Aug 2026 22:26:50
Anyone else find it odd Viktor doesn't get a run out? COYG
4.) 01 Sep 2026 05:52:38
Good win today. Clean sheet, no shots on target against. A very difficult team to play against, with great fans. They won't lose too many home games.
5.) 01 Sep 2026 08:12:44
Mate, I'm a Liverpool fan and honestly you can't say that we are closing deals. It's panic stations outside because we can't close any. Just pop by the Liverpool page if you want to see what the general sense is among the fan base. You're a much better run club than we are atm.
6.) 01 Sep 2026 11:16:21
Fofana is on his way to Sunderland.
31 Aug 2026 12:23:11
Late move for Iliman Ndiaye to fill the LW void. We do need two good options first, both flanks, if last season told us anything. It would be odd to not replace Trossard and Martinelli; otherwise our attack has gone backwards and that’s where we needed to add. Plus replace Jesus.
1.) 31 Aug 2026 12:52:42
Could Merino cover Jesus? Not in the horse breeding sense, obviously. ? Third striker? COYG.
2.) 31 Aug 2026 13:57:21
Lol - he could offer a goal threat from the bench, but Martinelli offered pace & 6 Champions League goals. We need something & we had Merino last year, so feels backwards still.
3.) 31 Aug 2026 15:32:18
My fault, I assumed we were replacing Martinelli! Merino to cover the 4 or 5 games Jesus played (420 ish minutes) . COYG. Definitely backwards if we don't replace Martinelli.
4.) 31 Aug 2026 15:50:53
Then Kroupi in the winter window..
Looking forward to tonight's game - gotta be a good time to play Villa. Get that game out of the way.
5.) 31 Aug 2026 16:35:03
Possibly looking for more game time for Dowman? Saka, Noni, and Eze can all play on the left.
Just a thought as to why we would let Martinelli go and not replace him, if, of course, we don't replace him, as there is obviously still time to do that if the club are already pursuing options away from the eye of media.
Not long to wait now before we know for sure. ?
6.) 31 Aug 2026 16:58:28
No desire of seeing more of Noni, esp on LW. His stats are poor & not much end product. He's more frustrating than Martinelli. Eze is too lazy out there, & laid back. Those options don't thrill me. ?
7.) 31 Aug 2026 17:10:46
I think, like always, we ultimately just have to wait and see how things actually work out on the pitch as the season progresses, mate.
8.) 31 Aug 2026 17:44:42
Well, plenty of attackers are being signed, so I'd ask, what are we doing.. Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Newcastle, Chelsea purchased, Liverpool purchased, Real got their man, Spurs buying.. we are selling. ?
Agree, Gunner, but a bit of movement wouldn't be bad. We needed attackers this window.

So none of the people are aware of issues of financial irregularities at city they are the innocent ones:
"Al Jazira reportedly paid Mancini for four days of consultancy work per year, with both clubs owned by Sheikh Mansour"
How many players / managers had similar deals??
Sickening what City have done to the British game I love. Same goes to Chelsea.
If you punish Forest, Leicester ' Everton swiftly - deal with these cheats!
Investigate the years after also as those players were the bedrock for years afterwards.
Did their advertising / sponsorship money dip after this period or did it continue as Pep was lauded.
1.) 03 Oct 2026 15:40:15
Both C£ty and Chelski have cheated and will always have an asterisk by their achievements in my head. Both on financial steroids. Chelsea's £10 mill for cheating was laughable - admitted it but still cheated! Both clubs cheated lots of fans of great days out and celebrations. Just wrong COYG

"Keep hearing ex-team-mates saying they want trophies taking off them [City] but don't want their medals, " Scholes posted on his Instagram story on Saturday.
He added: "F*** that, I'm a greedy b******. I want my medal."
If my So. played for Liverpool & came 2nd with 90 odd points & not have a EPL medal. I'd want it restated! City stole the moment but shouldn't steal the medals. Screw City & Chelsea.
3.) 03 Oct 2026 20:03:55
In the words of Rod Stewart, sort of
" in these days of changing ways with football corrupt in so many ways a story comes to mind of a friend of mine "
Georgie boy took a bung i guess; 400, 000 and not a penny less, Arsenal had to sack poor Georgie boy.
" The Arsenal fans complained George was just a scape goat because everyone else was taking a bung up, but the neutrals cried justice must be done, Georgie had to spend a year out of the game "
" The moneys increased over the years in the passing years but I believe George got to keep all his souvenirs "
I hope you enjoyed my little ditty listeners, but if not please send your complaints to kettlepotblack. com ????.
4.) 03 Oct 2026 21:03:27
Are you seriously comparing the two or saying Arsenal players kept their medals? Where's the comparison?? GG got punished full stop. On top of that went to Spurs. Is that not bad enough?

My childhood didn't mean much, only raisin' green up
Raisin' my fingers to critics, raisin' my head to the sky
Big, I did it, multi before I die
No lie, just know I chose my own fate
I drove by the fork in the road and went straight
Or
I could have been in prison or the back of a Royce / I never made a choice to take a cut from a wrap / I had to make a choice to take a cut from a track."
What's your point?
The GG comment was no comparison. What about the dads, brothers, sons that came second to cheats & didn't get a medal? Stick up for them mate, I'm surprised as you normally have a more righteous opinion & supporting the underdog?
8.) 04 Oct 2026 08:20:30
John mate, the George Graham bung scandal doesn't come close. Yes he took a bung, was made to pay it back and sacked, he then went on to be employed at 2 other Prem clubs. The 2 players involved Lydersen played just under 20 games over 3 seasons and had no effect on any trophies that Arsenal won during his time at Arsenal.
Jensen scored 1 goal during his time at Arsenal and George Graham had already won 2 league titles and a. league cup before he signed them players.
Too compare that with what City have done it to be honest is shocking. Any Gooner who thinks this is on par with George Graham, s needs to give his head a wobble.
Sorry folks I, m done.
9.) 04 Oct 2026 09:14:31
Hi Bill mate,
In truth I was just having a bit an ironic fun, of course i know the George bung wasn't on the same level as City's corruption but I was just sick of reading the same old thing over and over and over again so I thought i'd mix things up a bit.
I am genuinely sorry I have upset you Bill that wasn't my intention but at least the conversation has finally switched back to Arsenal away from Man City, so if nothing else at least that was achieved for a few hours.
10.) 04 Oct 2026 13:22:25
Sorry for the repetition 62 & I just posted again about City. Sorry but it is the biggest thing to hit football for a minute.
11.) 04 Oct 2026 19:51:24
I for one 89 knew you were joshing! GG was an individual paid his price did the time end of. City and Chelski was systematic and damn the consequences. I do feel for the fans denied celebrations in particular the Liverpool fans under Klopp, United in Aguero moment and for that matter us coming second to them twice.
I just hope all other fans now have an asterisk against any of their trophies -the worst punishment is to make their trophies irrelevant amongst fans and never acknowledge them. COYG.
12.) 04 Oct 2026 21:29:04
Hi Northumberland mate, i am happy to let it all play out as it will and whatever the powers that be decide to do they will do. For City fans everything about their best days is now and will be forever be tarnished in both their own eyes as well as everyone else's eyes.
In my opinion nothing can change the past as the moment has gone so awarding other teams titles would be merely a symbolic gesture and mean very little if anything at all, but once again if that's what the FA decides to do and if it makes fans of other clubs happy to receive them then why not.
For me the sooner its all done and dusted the better because much like Brexit its been going on so long now i'm past caring what happens I just want it over and done with ASAP so everyone can move forward and get on with the only things that really matter, the present and the future. As for Chelsea, unless something new comes up i think rightly or wrongly that's already been dealt with.
13.) 05 Oct 2026 12:44:51
Agree 101 although disagree on Chelsea. £10mill is loose change and no deterrent. Still cheated. I commented on this ages ago and got hit with Henry Norris's transgressions over 110 years ago :) COYG.
14.) 05 Oct 2026 15:45:02
Hi Lanarkshire, we don't always agree with the decisions the authorities make but we stuck with them whether we like it or not.
Personally I think the FA should warn all clubs that moving forward that anyone who breaks the financial rules accidentally or deliberately will receive an absolute minimum of a 30pts deduction that very same season and the following season also. If you have hard and fast rules and penalties that everyone knows and understands from the start there is little left to discuss or argue about.
01 Oct 2026 13:59:30
If Man City were expelled, that would have massive commercial consequences for everyone in the league, and ultimately it would cost the other clubs an awful lot of money, " one executive, who didn't want to be named, told Sky Sports News.
So concern that other clubs wouldn't expel City
Surely for the EPL to retain its global integrity as a tournament they must be booted out & trophies up to present day removed.
1.) 01 Oct 2026 19:29:47
Integrity is a very rare thing today Sy mate.
In sport and politics especially.
Hope you are good mate.
26 Sep 2026 14:17:27
"Let's be clear: Manchester City have been found guilty of being the biggest cheats in English football history, and the punishment must fit their crimes. At very minimum, they must be relegated from Premier League and stripped of all fraudulently 'won' titles."
Then compensation to many clubs.
RIP City - nothing before the money and a shadow of what you were once found out.
12 Sep 2026 22:15:17.
That was a battle and thanks to Raya we came away with 3 key points. That 3 minute spell could be key come end of the season! Great penalty save, lovely Bruno goal and great fight from many of the boys. Well done!
01 Sep 2026 22:52:20
Something positive should have happened - I'm glad you got your strong balance sheet 62. But that won't win the league & we may not get as easy route to the final or get so many goals from corners. So weakening our main weakness is just stupid., slow & lump sums up this very poor window
Why make the job harder than it needs to be by dithering in the market when we should be strengthening our hold. Most people looking at our team see the strength in the squad but the weakness in the starting 11 - anyone watching sees it, even me. We needed a Lw & CF same old story yet the people with the rose tinted glasses mock the ones who point out the glaring weaknesses. We could still win but why make it harder by selling & not buying! Stupid - limp slow Brian
01 Sep 2026 14:42:04
Small pickings now but plenty LWs have been traded this summer. We've been slow & cheap.
