Correct. And that's not a good trait, which can be traced to preparation/mindset/consistency/coaching.

Complete disaster. One of the worst three teams in the league, at home, and this is the best they can do

Nelson's Victory crew included a Brazilian and a Russian, 2 Indians, 2 Swiss, 2 Portuguese, 3 Danes and 3 Norwegian sailors. There were 3 Germans, 4 Italians, 6 Swedes, 7 Dutchmen, 9 West Indians and an African, as well as 21 Americans, 63 Irish, 64 Scots, 441 English.... oh, and 3 French men, too.

🚨*𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗘𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘*🚨 📘To celebrate the release of a great new City book, author @domfarrell.bsky.social is giving away two copies of Glory Days for the Waifs and Strays. One on X, one on Bluesky. To enter, ensure you are following us and Dom, and repost this message Good luck!

Just got back from watching "One Battle After Another" to find a feed full of videos of ICE raids in the US and Badenoch promising to introduce it here. Whatever horror you put on film can't beat reality.

I wrote a short piece for the Observer on the attacks in Manchester. observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

This is absolutely horrific. To attack a synagogue and kill people, and that too on Yom Kippur. Vile and inexcusable.

@thefalcoholic.bsky.social aside from being bizarrely predictable in some aspects (run in pistol, run in pistol, pass), Zac called a good game. Penix did well, even bouncing back after his interception. Good win!

Important to remember it is possible to mobilise coalitions against the radical/far right.

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

@lmtpod.city lads - what is your newer email address again?

That's absolute magic. Amazing Doku

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

There is no fucking way City should sanction this.

I won’t be seeing the new Frankenstein movie unless there’s a title card at the start explaining what Frankenstein is a metaphor for. I’m not wasting my time trying to figure it out.

Busta fucking Rhymes

Superb performance from City. Utter dominance. Fluid positionally, great play from wingers & fullbacks; midfield is back. Subs offered other problems for Juve. Missed this City and enjoying the new players

Delightful half that from City. Loads of positives, great energy & interplay.

Is it too late to give Sacha Baron Cohen an Oscar for this? Not a damn lie told. 🇺🇸

Kevin has brought us joy on and off the pitch. Thank you 👑Kev

Holy shit. That is one helluva hit Marmoush. WOAH

I'm sure Keir Starmer and his advisers think targeting immigration is giving voters what they want. But have they not asked themselves why? Could it be the relentless drip drip drip of anti-migrant propaganda from the right wing press?

That was pathetic. Lack of substitutions and urgency let that game meander - we never looked like scoring. Against the worst PL team of the last 15 years.

Interesting XI, Erling getting some minutes ahead of the final. Hopefully Foden finds form as well

Godawful from Van Dijk

One of the lowest quality performances I've seen from City's women team in that second half.

This is the limpest push for a win in a must-win game from City.

Tremendously poor defending from City in a route 1 goal. Just poor

Real lack of maturity from Alex Greenwood. Just drawn into niggly fouls and now a yellow. Pointless from someone so experienced

Wasn't sure of the line up but the effort in the first half was fantastic. Forest adapted well second half and we clung on. Up the blues!

Marti Perarnau's book is superb and consistently shines a light on how Pep learns & the approaches he takes over time. I wonder if when making the recent switch to 4 2 2 2, he was thinking of this game. #mcfc

Incidentally a certain Nazi doctor tried to divide autistics into those who deserved to live and those who didn't, too. They used to name some of us after him.

GET IN! Amazing from Doku & Nunes. Love it. Odd game as ever, thought Kovacic & Bernardo were very good (in energy if not quality). Big big result

Turgid, turgid football and then some nice play leads to 2 goals & an incredibly valuable 3 points

I liked the way Guardiola used McAtee yesterday. He was the one who took up the 9 positions most often as De Bruyne played the False 9 role. As Pep would say ‘he has the smell of goals’. You can look at the next clips as a catalogue of misses or intelligent play to get those chances 1/

Nonsense lineup that was exposed in their goals, but has looked good going forward. So glad that Kev has at least this game to wind the clock back

YES KEV

We are embarrassingly fragile defensively. Dias has been very very poor

Once again I find myself on Thursday evening thinking "bloody hell, this has been a long week, surely it must be Friday by now?" and then being disappointed that it is not Friday.

Who would have thought that the same players and style that gave us the turgid first half vs Bournemouth would offer an even worse half against United.

To the rational part of me, KDB leaving makes so much sense but jesus christ, emotionally this has cut me deep. What a player, top 3 of all time at City and PL. Absolute legend, just cannot describe the impact and ability he has had on City & the PL #mcfc #KDB

The sting of City's mediocrity has been deaden by England absolutely battering Wales in Cardiff. Clinical, great attacking rugby, fantastic defence when needed. Superb

That’s 100 Premier League goal contributions for Erling Haaland. He becomes the quickest player in PL history to get to that mark (95 apps) beating Alan Shearer’s record (100 apps). He’s only the 5th player to in PL history to achieve 100 goal contributions across any 100 match span.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

The absolute gall of those corrupt clowns to lecture Zelensky. Last year, Vance was running as VP candidate while being accused of shagging a sofa. Disgraceful behaviour and just further evidence of Trump's Russian allegiances

The scenes in the Oval Office today will shame the US for decades. They’ll never be forgotten. A world leader, fighting for his country against the 21st century’s Nazis, came to the US and was attacked & abused by a gangster regime siding with the fascist invaders. A historic disgrace.

Kev is just completely done at this level. Can't press, can't pass, 0 fitness.
