Above all though, Harry Kane. A genuinely world-class footballer. Always pops up clutch. Takes responsibility in the toughest moments. The finish for his 2nd goal was outrageous.

Gordon and Saka made SUCH a difference when they came on. Better delivery, beating their men 1v1, hitting the byline. Genuinely didn’t see the comeback @ ~60mins.

Jheeeze, what a half. Ugh. What a time to drop a 0/10 performance, prior to the “hydration break”. Defensive structure was so bad for DRC’s goal. But that being said, England have still created a lot of good chances. Bellingham has to take one of his headers. Simple as.

Mexico will be horrible R16 opponents for England (if they beat DR Congo today). The intensity they played with last night. The noise their (home) fans will generate at the Azteca. The altitude in Mexico City. Eeesh. V v tricky.

Quick thoughts. Coming back from the game: - Bellingham made it happen (again, for England). So much better as an #8, IMO. Some of his tackles late in the 1st half, set the tempo. - RB situation is a disaster; Quansah injury. - Anderson probs our best player today. Everywhere.

Really good interview from Tuchel. Insightful. He speaks v well. Gives me confidence, icl youtu.be/OIFFbowMGYQ?is….

Big England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 WC preview. Before we fly out to the States (for the Ghana & Panama games). Relatively bullish on England’s chances tbh. I think they’ve got the best full-back pairing at the World Cup (James x O’Reilly). And Harry Kane ofc.

No Califiori feels a big misstep from Arteta. Hincapie and Mosquera as FBs (against Doue and Kvara) seems a terrible mismatch. V defensive, and likely bad at progressing the ball.

Wharton’s performance last night is yet another reminder that Tuchel taking Henderson to the WC over him is a scandalous call. Wharton clearly wasn’t fully fit. But his ball progression & line-breaking passes are invaluable. Particularly in a squad that lacks creativity.

End-of-year summary of City’s 2025/26 season for Guardian Sport. Ultimately, a more than respectable campaign 🏆🏆. But, the end of an era too. Pep departs after 10 incredible years. Bernardo & Stones also leave. Any RT’s much appreciated #MCFC (Penned before Sunday)

This is excellent on Maresca. With a particular focus on his time at Chelsea. And how he could adapt at City / their players. Cuts through a lot of the (more negative) noise I’ve seen online recently, inferring Maresca will likely fail. With extra context & tactical analysis.

So many sources (e.g. Fabrizio, TalkSport, BBC) now saying Anderson to City is advanced. Class news. Expect City will be willing to pay £80-95m max - i.e. than Grealish/Rice. Seems clear Viana’s pushing for deal to be done pre-WC too. As surmised on @9320pod.bsky.social Market shows.

It’s a tough one, but I think overall, this is positive and what Phil needs tbh. He’s got his spark and joy back a bit. In this final stretch of the season. And I think a (enforced) summer reset is probably for the best.

City’s first time losing a close PL title race. It had to happen eventually. The look on the players’ was telling. Great fuel for next season ⛽️

Proud of the boys tonight. Bournemouth were unbelievable (as usual). They’re so impressive. Definitely felt like 1 game too many tonight, given the (respective) schedules. Great effort tho.

The “Pep’s leaving” pod. Had to be done 🥲

When you field a 442 (and I can understand why Pep has, against a back 5), you have to play forward quickly and get Marmoush x Haaland in behind. But Omar has been crap. Both with, and without the ball. Can’t trap the ball when in the pockets. Hook him at HT for Foden/Cherki.

Nico G not on the bench… damning icl.

Hahaha. That is a wild XI. Baldy eh. Back 5, I think… ?! Otherwise, it’s Nunes in midfield alongside Bernardo. Savinho starts (🚮). Happy to see Foden & Marmoush start. And great that Gvardiol is fit enough.

Think it’s a v tricky selection for Pep tonight. Need to win. Can’t rotate too heavily. But… FA Cup final on Sat. AND Bournemouth (A) less than 72hrs later (also need to win, lol). I’m guessing 3 (max 4, maybe no Doku) changes: Donna Nunes Guehi Ake RAN Nico G Bernardo Semenyo Foden Doku Erl

So refreshing to watch such a high-quality game. Two attacking teams, both going for the throat. No holding back. Dingdong.

This week’s Market pod. A focus on RBs (Palestra, G. Read, Livramento, Kayode all discussed). Big Barcola section. Detourbet & Maza latest links. Plus, @ahsannaeem.bsky.social and I each pick 2 left-field players we think City could target this summer (but haven’t been linked to yet).

Previewing “the big one”. Loved this pod. Ultimately, whatever happens tomo. The last few weeks have been a LOT of fun. And the fact the PL title is back within City’s grasp… is not something I thought was possible circa ~2 months ago. Let’s enjoy it.

Ian Wright’s performance on the latest Stick to Football is remarkable. His arse has 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 gone. (It’s worth tuning in for. 27mins on ➡️)

Latest Market pod. Focus on potential incomings. Recent links. Etc. Plus some loanees (Reis, Echeverri, Mfuni).

Arteta’s response to needing a goal: throw Gabriel up front. Says it all tbh. Tinpot.

Alex Scott. Gem of a footballer. A midfield all-rounder (which is a bit of a rarity these days). Can’t imagine he’ll be at Bournemouth too much longer.

The Cup Final preview. After a badddd week for City. Some punchy views given, accordingly. Have a great weekend all.

Can City pull-off a remontada tonight? What XI does Pep need to pick, to facilitate that? Etc. Plus, Ahsan and I cover all the other CL ties.

I’m fuming all over again. Talking about Wednesday, and Pep. FFS.

Didn’t hate Pep’s selection when I saw it. You can see the logic of some of his calls. But his failure to fix it at HT / in the 2nd half just isn’t good enough. How is Reijnders (?!?) your first sub. Lamentable. Doesn’t fix the midfield hole in transition. How ropey we’ve looked at FB… FFS.
