Are these the new lyrics then?

A perfectly sensible explanation for drawing of the lines was posted on another thread. As we look at it, the attacker’s toe touches the LEFT side of the red line, and the defender’s toe touches the RIGHT side of the blue line (hence being drawn over the boot). Any separation (no matter how...

On every freeze frame I've ever seen for offside decisions on TV, it's always the initial moment the player's foot strikes the ball. It's never the point of release (i.e. when daylight appears between ball and foot). The latter is more logical in some ways but if you changed it to that, it would...

You have a fair point there, and it would make sense if the goalward side of the blue line is the furthest point of the defender, whilst the non-goalward side of the red line is the furthest point of the attacker. Can anyone verify this? I actually hope you're right, because it would take away...

There are some legends among City fans. On the way back yesterday one guy was standing without support on a jolting train, holding a half-drunk can of Stella under his armpit, using his mobile with that hand, pouring out whiskies into paper cups for people with the other hand, and joining in...

I think that's how they always do it (moment of striking the ball rather than when it's left the foot). That normally favours the attacker because they are the ones running faster towards goal, but in this case it favoured the United defender. The issue yesterday was drawing the line in the...

People are forgetting what it was like before. There were huge amounts of injustices and mistakes, players getting away with blatant cheating, and in this age of technology the only people in the whole world who didn’t know a decision was wrong were the officials and players on the pitch. And it...

No, that rule has been in place forever as far as I know.

Good job they didn't use your avatar

And floats like a stinker?

Surely this forum is github?

That's what I said about Michelangelo when I visited the Sistine Chapel.

Really sorry to hear this news. Your Dad’s contributions, especially relating to the old days in the early 60s, will be missed. His genuine passion for the Sky Blues was so clear, and it must be a great comfort to know how much pleasure football gave him over the whole of his life. RIP Slowpoke.

Think you've been a bit conservative there Pete. In terms of recruitment / value for money I'd easily go +1 for several of them.

That's assuming that the playoff push would have happened at all under Sisu, rather than the rug being pulled from under MR's feet.

Don't know for sure, but I'd have thought that instead of 6 people paying bus fares, it might be cheaper & quicker to get taxi(s) or an Uber?

Absurd thing to say. Like plenty of others, I've defended both from the start and sung their praises. They are performing how I thought they would. But it's hard work pointing out players' abilities to people who'd rather concentrate on a few mistakes or rough edges.
