He had to shoot from there.

Goal-saving challenge from Latibeaudiere there as Bellingham was free in the middle. He's been very tidy today.

Palmer is all over Hume. Looks much more of a force now he's fitter. Not got anywhere near the two defenders on yellows, though.

Enjoyed that half. Dominated possession without many real chances - the one save coming from a Simms shot near the end of the first half. We look good out wide with both wing-backs looking to get forward. Everyone playing their part. Sunderland have two defenders on yellows, O'Nien and Cirkin...

Both wing-backs are heavily involved and both are a threat going forward. MVE settling in well and DaSilva has got behind his man a couple of times. Encouraging signs. Eccles has stood out.

Palmer has had a brilliant five minutes. Couple of lovely balls including one over the top there just too long for Godden. Some good exchanges down the left with DaSilva. Decent game, City on top, atmosphere seems good.

McFadz has started superbly.

I think you’ve summed it up. They said he could be so physical but doesn’t realise how strong he is, for example.

I had a chat with a group of staff from Everton earlier this summer, just after we’d signed Simms. They said he’s a great young lad who probably doesn’t realise how good he is. They tipped him to thrive if Robins could instil that belief in him and lift his game as he’s done with many players...

Looked like it went in off his shoulder despite being in acres and having loads of time. Only saw it once, though, so could be wrong.

Wright looking impressive when running with the ball, a couple of decent runs so far but without any end product unfortunately. Decent opening 15 minutes. Agree that the kit looks good.

Just because it was easy for you, it doesn’t mean that other people didn’t struggle. We got to turnstile 42 at 11.50 and got in at 12.20; all of the turnstiles in that area by the Anecdote had significant queues. The fan march actually dissected the queue at one point. The steward on the gate...

Queues are about 40-50 deep around 38-45. Loads outside still.

Hi all. Couple of mates with season tickets are looking for tickets if any going please. Will be leaving from Cov and driving to London. Cheers

Audio only as the match is on Sky, unless the rules have changed this season.

Spoke to someone in Romania about him yesterday. Said his best position is as a second striker, quick feet and scores goals from range. Said he’s not the most physical but has done well for Romania. This is one of his international goals (sorry it’s a FB link): The Romanian commentator calls...

Underrated post although I do still have seven pages to go.

Sporting Clube de Portugal. Calling them Sporting Lisbon is like saying Arsenal London (which I remember seeing on teletext in Denmark one year).

We could have a version of this for our third kit albeit different from the sky blue one of course. Hummel and Cov have a deep relationship now so would expect us to be part of the Hummel anniversary celebration.
