Yeah I don't imagine him giggling in a corner everytime something bad happens to the club unlike a certain someone. Just that the quality of his journalism is shocking sometimes.

It was more I’ve seen him jogging round here and also encountered him during a slightly awkward Pinot Grigio incident at the local Aldi

Was that the strange smug bass playing cunt from Blur that was on just before him?

I know two people who (RIGHTLY! 😆) said Steve McKenzie’s goal in the same match was better;

 

1. @LondonBlue

2. My mum

Well said.

 

I always remember it as a volley from the halfway line but when i watched it back i think it was more like a half volley from about 30 yards out.

 

For the Ricky Villa goal, city were like statues. I think we might have been bottom of the table at the time. I hated spurs for years after that.

That was Wyki btw but I did agree with him 

 

I'm at work after a 2 week break and not really in the mood to get back to it, Hope (the irony of the name btw) just picked the wrong day to post another one of his thinly veiled sinister jibes that REAL MEN will have none of.

The following is an example of "a sinister jibe":

 

NUFC are now the only club in Britain that can win the domestic treble. 

 

 

You need help if you find that sinister.

I only caught the Shilton bit as I was cooking but my lass had it on in the front room. They were supposed to have woken Josh Widdecombe up unawares at 1 am (funny how they are never having a shite, a wank or have passed out after drinking or whatever when they pull these ‘stunts’). The ridiculous pantomime that ensued was a recreation of Maradona’s infamous ’hand of God’ goal.

😔 Sad news, gave everything when he played for us ….his diving header in the comeback against Forest at the Leazes End and his ball out to Hibbitt for Supermac’s goal at Hillsborough, that still gives me hairs on the back of the neck thing going on….Hallelujah John Tudor, John Tudor. R.I.P. ….one of my early heroes watching from The Leazes.

I know your just messing, but many believe the narrative that City get easy draws. It's so far the opposite of that. Sorry but you've given me an in

 

since 2015/16...

🟦Manchester City draw a PL team 60% of the time in 3rd/4th round
🟥Liverpool draw a PL team 48% of the time in 3rd/4th Round
🟧Manchester United draw a PL team 42% of the time in 3rd/4th Round

 

Only 37% of City's draws have been at home.

This should be closer to 50% the larger the sample size but with 56 draws a 13% swing is considered extremely unlucky. 

For comparisons sake:
- Liverpool are at home 53% of the time (a little lucky)
- Manchester United are at home 60% of the time (very lucky) 

For City to reach 50% again we'd need to draw our next 14 games at home.

 

From 2016 to 2017 for 18 months straight, City got one of the most improbable  statistical anomalies ever - they drew 11 premier league teams in a row and here's the kicker; every draw we were the away team 

To put in numbers how unlikely it is to get 11 away draws in a row its like flipping a coin 11 times in a row and every time it lands on heads. The chances of this are: 0.049% or 1 in 2048.

 

So this incredibly "unlucky" period was followed by a "lucky" period" - which is where the narrative begins.  The next 3 years saw some favourable draws (albeit still more away than home) with 50% of draws going to lower league opposition.  

 

The last 3 years has seen unfavourable premier league draws. With 12 of 16 games all being played against Premier League teams. 3 of those 4 games against lower opposition - Came at the end of Citys FA Cup run in 2023 where we played Bristol City, Burnley and Sheff Utd. However its important to note that for each of those rounds in 2023 there was a larger size than usual of lower league teams. 

Overall we still get more Premier League draws at every round except the 5th round (FA cup only).

In the 3rd and 4th round (the time you have the best opportunity to avoid PL teams) of both competitions we have a combined 60% rate of getting a Premier League team.

For comparisons sake Liverpool get a PL team only 48% of the time and Manchester United get a PL team only 42% of the time. 

 

In the FA Cup Semi finals (6 in a row) we've generally had terrible luck in getting "lucky"
- 2024 -  33% of getting easier opposition ❌
- 2023 -  33% of getting easier opposition ✅
- 2022  - 33% of getting easier opposition ❌
- 2021 - 66% of getting easier opposition ❌
- 2020 - 0% Irrelevant
- 2019 - All considered easier opposition yet got the worst one ❌

 

The FA Cup semi final is usually pivotal as it lands between difficult premier league title deciders & Champions League knock out games. 

 

When you compare us to other big teams in the league id say our cup draw luck is considered unlucky. Yet we've still won 5/9 league cups and 2/8 FA cups (9th still up for grabs) during that period

Chelsea and Spurs are both playing on the Thursday night so neither match can be moved to Saturday. That's followed by an international week so neither match can be moved to Monday.

 

I know that the cup final probably requires a greater police presence but I can't see any particular reason not to play all three games on the same day. There's three PL fixtures on in London this Saturday.

We’ve played in London one Sunday in the last 12 months when there was at least 3 games and possibly 4, fuck knows when though, I think I did mention it..
