Nice to be back on with the lads. Is Jeremy Doku's form down to Pep or God? We couldn't possibly say.

*OUT NOW* @domfarrell.bsky.social charts #ManCity’s route from noble rags to uncomfortable riches. This is the tale of how that happened & why it matters⚽️📚👇 soccer-books.co.uk/collections/... #mcfc @bitebackpublishing.bsky.social

City are the top scorers in the Premier League with 20. Haaland has 13 of them. But Rayan Cherki showed today he can be a path to goals for Haaland, himself and others. Piece from the Etihad Stadium today for @sportingnews.com www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

If you like my book selling moderately more copies than a children's book about Declan Rice, you should come to the launch party tomorrow night!* www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/manchester... *the two things are unrelated

Calling exiled West Yorkshire Manchester City fans: Glory Days for the Waifs and Strays is in Leeds Waterstones, in amongst these big fellas 💪

To mark yesterday's release of Glory Days for the Waifs and Strays, along with the fact that the big freak won't stop scoring, @sportingnews.com published an extract from the chapter focused on Erling Haaland and what he means for Manchester City and Norway. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

Glory Days for the Waifs and Strays: Identity and Meaning in the Rise of the Modern Manchester City is out NOW via all the usual online outlets. amzn.eu/d/hbnGuxm You can only buy signed copies at Deansgate Waterstones, though. (no, that hasn't knocked a chunk off the price)

Dominik Szoboszlai was a mainstay for Liverpool last season. A brilliant, selfless presser, an unsung hero of a No. 10. Him getting shunted around all over the shop highlights much of what's wrong with the champions right now. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

Good fun to join Sam and David again. Obviously have a book to flog and we're into release week 🍾

Thanks to Joey and Mulv for having me. I even learned how to patronise someone in Texan.

🚨*𝗡𝗘𝗪 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞*🚨 🖊️@domfarrell.bsky.social new book is out next Tuesday. You can pre-order the book on the link below: ➡️ www.amazon.co.uk/Glory-Days-W... And/or join Dom to hear him talk about his new book on 30th October ➡️ www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/manchester...

Pleasure to have chat a with Howard. Unlike the kit below, unfortunately there's no NFC chip in the book.

Delighted to share the first extract from Glory Days for the Waifs and Strays, which went live on today on @sportingnews.com. It's drawn from these two chapters. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

Ricky's funeral today. So many of the tributes have understandably jumped from Tszyu to Mayweather, but that bit in the middle was golden. Four wins, three world titles across two divisions. A long read on those days of possibility. What a ride. www.sportingnews.com/uk/boxing/ne...

Was great to be back in the @BlueMoonPodcast saddle this week, talking #MCFC's improvement, fantastic Foden, Bernardo's legacy and much more, with @davidmooney.co.uk and @domfarrell.bsky.social 🩵 pod.fo/e/335cc1

Unusually existential @bluemoonpodcast.com. Delighted to be involved as always.

50 years since the Thrilla in Manila and the first landmark anniversary with neither man here. The greatest heavyweight title fight of all time, maybe Ali's greatest win. But hard to celebrate like the Rumble in the Jungle because it was so brutally dark. www.sportingnews.com/uk/boxing/ne...

Monaco vs. City tonight. Those games in 2017 were incredible and among the most shaping of Guardiola's tenure. The 5-3 is still probably the best game I've ever seen live. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

Talked about Ricky Hatton on here.

It's actually the one where United give a whole half of the field to the most prolific striker in world football. A truly obscure more.

Wrote about Phil and Ricky and Manchester. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

A tale of several strikers, none of whom were Alexander Isak and none of whom scored. Match piece from Leeds 0-0 Newcastle @sportingnews.com www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

"We missed the simple things." The level of player turnover in such a short period, made necessary by two years of stasis, means City don't have those old, automatic Guardiola things nailed down to see out tough spells anymore. Fascinating season ahead. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

A devastating, vital piece of work on Israel's obliteration of Gaza's footballing infrastructure and culture.

Savinho to Tottenham feels pretty mad and it's very unusual for City to have so many moving parts at this stage. But if three of Foden, Marmoush, Cherki, Doku or Bobb have great seasons, it's hard to make the case that he'd be missed. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

Community Shield means nowt in the greater scheme of things but, after months of eeing people lose their minds over signings made or not made, it was enjoyable to see an unchanged and superbly coached Crystal Palace prevail. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

City fans getting really cross about losing a mad game at the Club World Cup.

A (probably) new-look Manchester City will step out at the Club World Cup tomorrow. So, how did we get here? 🚑 24/25 winter crisis 🧠 4-2-2-2 and tactics for next season 💷 £300m January/June rebuild ⚽️ What's next for Haaland, Foden Long-ish read: www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...

"[Pep] always gives us the freedom in the last 30 metres. You can do whatever you want. The pitch belongs to us and he will never stop you from dribbling or anything else." Wrote about The Discourse around Cherki, Grealish and Guardiola because it's been mad. www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/ma...

Lovely to join the lads for another of these. Everyone adores the 100-point season and the treble for obvious reasons, but this was my favourite Guardiola City team.

Just leaving Munich, which Inter fans lit up this weekend. A fine team at the end of a journey towards their crowning glory. But sport hurts, kids. www.sportingnews.com/uk/football/...
