Knock out current clubs and you are doing it wrong. With the financial issues most lower league clubs have PL and top championship clubs should be looking to in essence turn some of these into feeder clubs. They get a financial boost on the understanding that 5/6 of the senior teams most promising ...

Which towns across England will see their clubs knocked out of the Football League to allow a bunch of reserve teams to battle it out for the League 2 promotion slots?

Good to see Tim has enjoyed working at the feet of the master this season.

Had a quiet half hour with work just now, ended up watching videos from the Sevilla, Lyon, Alkmaar and Fiorentina games. How am I supposed to switch back into work mode for the next 2.5 days?! Let alone do anything productive between full time on Thursday and kick off next week!

Henry Winter is a liar or I can't read. I know which my money is on.

Conference League final allocation is a right kick in the balls. 9k per team (3k increase on last year) in a smaller stadium!

Missed out by a point, would definitely get one for that

Better than last year obviously, still a joke as usual.

Pricing isn't actually that bad (in the context of how much is charged for some big games)

6ft4.
Can play right back.

I'm in. Line up with him and Aguerd either side and two little fellas in the middle. Other teams will never see it coming.

Bernardo Silva > Barcelona - £50m release clause allegedly. Silva leaving City is quietly one of the most boring transfer sagas of all time. Sure he's been said to want out for the last 3 summers only to give them another year. https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ma...

The most surprising thing I've learnt today is that Fabianski is 6 foot four. I always thought he looked a tad short for a goalkeeper. For no reason, this prompted me to look at the tallest team we could reasonably put out with the current squad. Areola 6'5 Mavropanos 6'4 Zouma 6'3 Ogbonna 6'3 Ague...

Adding a 3rd centre back to account for the loss of Alvarez feels like a bad idea. We're really well drilled with a back 4 + defensive midfielder when it comes to letting the other team have ball and not get baited into pressing recklessly, why change the shape and people's starting positions with s...

In my mind, dealing with the cheats is a bit of a conundrum. If it became mandatory to take a player off for a head injury assessment and replace them with a temporary sub, we all know what's going to happen; It'll just become another tool to gain an advantage. Players who may need a bit of a breat...

They should fancy their chances; especially against our defence. I think we need a good portion of luck to get through, but who knows. I think it's a real shame, that we'll be without Alvarez at the BayArena, where we have to sit deep and hit them on the counter. Leverkusen don't play physicsl atta...

"Safe" standing so there are still spaces assigned for each ticket.

Their defence struggled to cope with the pace and physicality of Kudus/Bowen in December. Add in 30-60 minutes of Antonio and we're well set to get the chances to beat them.

I see Sean Whetstone in his latest column is doing his very best to justify the price increases and the loss of certain concession seats. He says we need the extra money from ticket revenue to compete with the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea. He even goes as far as saying that the board have ad...

All fans know that No Tony = No Party as far as the transformation from homeless lower league vagabonds to top half of the Premier League and beyond. The cash flow generated from the successful season meant that the Club was able to repay TB £36m. His total investment in both loans (interest free, ...

Cowardly team selection and set up from Emery tonight.

Blood on his hands you could say......


Edit: 2nd hat trick of the season for Foden. This performance is getting me excited about the summer

Man City should be well clear. Some good keeping, some pretty average finishing.

Emery has bet big on the cavalry being able to influence the game from the bench.
