    Seen some City voices I respect say that it may be a family move. His wife and her family are from Manchester. If he were to manage at Burnley, it would likely allow his family to settle back in Manchester where they're familiar. As far as the football fit, no idea how that will go. Trying to...

    How REAL MADRID of all clubs (The Kings Club) can cry foul over a highly publicized transfer not going there way is hilarious. They have been handpicking Europe’s elite talent, and manipulating the transfer market for going on three decades. What a joke of a club to be crying foul this publicly...

    I think most city fans understand why opposing fanbases hate them. There really is no true defense to who their ownership group is. All I would say is, John Henry, Stan Kroenke, and the Glazer family are not exactly outstanding people, and wouldn’t piss on any of us if we were on fire. I’ve...

    In Wolves defense a draw basically did nothing for them yesterday, as far as trying to achieve a Europa conference league place, or even the small chance they had at Europa League. They played an attacking side / tactics, and didn't sit ten men behind the ball for 90 mins like most teams do vs...

    I think that is being a tad dismissive of the challenge playing West Ham away will be on Sunday with no fit center backs...but hopefully you're correct! :)

    Honestly, I rather like it that way....don't need a bunch of social medial impressions, or tourist fans at the Etihad on a weekly basis buying half-half scarves to make me feel good about supporting City. It's not secret that the Etihad can be a little dead for some league an cup games, but...

    I would be shocked if Pep plays with two 6's / Pivots. It would be against his entire philosophy However, if City lose Raheem, Jesus, and possibly even Bernardo this summer as has been rumored they may need to alter their 4-3-3 structure, because of the lack of 4-5 wingers who can play 60+...

    Will be interesting to see if this brings John Brooks back into USMNT contention. CCV will almost certainly be called up for the next camp after an impressive season with Celtic. He is a right footed CB, that can help with this loss. Not going to mince words though, Miles was going to be one...

    I just don't really see it that way. I get plenty of texts about City from rival supporting friends whenever City drop points in the league, or get knocked out of champions league. Their games get plenty of viewers globally, and domestically. Grealish goes from the darling of English soccer at...

    It's all good man. I appreciate your perspective on Liverpool as I don't support them / follow them. I'm all for European soccer fans in America, and the more banter the more fun in my opinion. I think the hatred for City goes a little too far in England and abroad but nothing I can control. I...

    Yeah, I mean I don't even know how to respond anymore. People don't care about City yet rival fans spend their time talking about City on an American college football sub forum. As far as empty seats at games, City is still a Manchester Club at heart. I've had the good fortune of being at the...

    I think he's just taking the piss. He is nowhere near Mourinho levels, that is a crazy take. City are a hated team by the country / continent at large. He is 100% not wrong in that belief. Nine fellow clubs tried to get City kicked out of the PL, for rumors that still have never been proven as...

    You seem very entrenched in your opinion, but this is simply just not true. Numerous clubs outside the "big 6" have similar net transfer spends within the past 5-10 years. Clubs like Villa, Everton, West Ham...hell even Wolves and Brighton have spent similar funds on player transfer spending as...

    Yeah, I am going to have to disagree with that. Everton were safely mid-table that season, and didn't have much skin in the game except for trying to take points away from Liverpool. I want to reiterate, this is not the best derby in a generation...it is just the most important because the...

    Everton hasn't been relegated in about 70 years, and Liverpool are competing to win their second PL title, and compete for possibly their best club season ever. Everton are also "reportedly" in big financial trouble with huge losses, because of COVID and overspending on a largely unimpressive...

    Anthony Taylor: Three yellow card offences by Thiago. One given Paul Tierney: Questionable offsides call overturned by VAR. I hate how unclear the still images are of when they show the passer attempting the pass, and matching it up with where the last defender and offensive player are at that...

    I can see your argument for the Manchester link, however it has been widely reported that Anthony Taylor and Paul Tierney are not fans of either United or City even though being from the Greater Manchester area. I think it has been reported that Tierney is a Wigan supporter, and Taylor supports...

    Paul Tierney sure showed his agenda against Liverpool when he didn't send Milner off for a clear second yellow card back in October.

    Zardes has been benched to start the MLS season, and reports are he is on the trade block. If he plays any meaningful mintues in Qatar, then I would be very disappointed that a younger option had not progressed above him. Daryl Dike just announced out for the rest of the season with a new...
