Don't think we ever get a resolution on why our previous Sunday game with Citeh was a 15:30 kick-off.

And if our chances of 3 points would have been improved with a regular 16:30 kick-off.

I’m pretty easy to find if you come again! I think I’m in section NE3419

Police advised an earlier kick off so it was moved forward. I do think playing the games at 1 and 330pm on a Sunday would be far more agreeable for away fans, particularly given how st trains are on a Sunday.

Yeah I was listening to that whilst working earlier. It's certainly worth it for anyone with the time. It doesn't necessarily add a great deal in terms of new information, but it does help to frame a few things. Ronaldo did come with Ole's blessing, he tried to get us to sign Haaland twice and we refused both times to try (20m buy out at one point too) - but he doesn't know if he would have come.

What that show does do though, for me, is remind that the players themselves are real people too and sometimes it's so easy to forget. Yes paid very well, but still just humans like the rest of us. Ole made a comment at one point about the amount of mental issues he had been dealing with as manager, although he didn't elaborate (& rightly so) but its clear there are some fragile souls in our squad as we have perhaps suspected anyway.

Worth it. If just for the brief interchange between Keano and Jill Scott biglaugh

The overlap is a really good watch I’ve watched most of them. There’s a really good rapport across all involved. The Keano and Richards specials where they are in a car together are very funny.

I watched the Overlap quiz yesterday that Paddy McGuinness chaired … Nev and Carra v Keano and Wrighty - I seldom watch these things the whole way through but it was an hour or more of pure entertainment - by god Keano is competitive!

We normally go a few times a season-always bloody long day for us coming from near London-mad dash back to Manchester Piccadilly to get the train and get home about ten o’clock!!
Always a great laugh though despite result sometimes
Time before was the Brentford game, -absolutely brilliant when we got the late goals!!

Just finished watching. It’s hard not to like Ole, a top guy and even though it didn’t work out as manager it hasn’t tarnished his legacy with the club.

Didn’t know about the captaincy issues, which is pretty shocking. Good to see him raise the point about pundits and how they need to potentially think about what they are saying as players can be impacted.

I do think the Ronaldo signing was the beginning of the end. While it worked in terms of goals the noise around the club and the fact he had to change the way they wanted to defend without the ball.

The amount of st managers have to deal with is shocking.

Brilliant show to be honest. Loved the honesty and the respect. Just show's how much the dressing room has changed and how many modern player's can't cope unless treated with kid gloves.

If you thought 15:30 kick-off was weird, Liverpool-Citeh game is 15:45.

Does it really make a difference to a teams performance? It's not as though they're not aware of it.

It's only you who does. But you're weird yourself so there you go.

Madrid outplayed completely in both legs yet they get through , they are garbage .
Deeply worrying there is not a single decent team in the champs league that would bother city , maybe Arsenal but I think their naivety in Europe will hinder them but hard to see city not retaining the trophy .

This is a major worry. Can’t see Bayern troubling city either.

Possibly meaning that even after joining prolific winners, Kane finishes yet another season trophy-less. Would you credit it?

I wrote earlier that someone stopping City in the FA Cup is the only thing that’s likely to stop them doing another Treble.

Bayern are weirdly dreadful as they actually have some great players ,Madrid are being carried by 2 players ,Barca are st ,the Italians are doing well in Europe because the opposition is so poor …inter are full of players who were st in the premier league .
It’s been poor quality for a while but I think this is a new low .
Diluting it with more teams hasn’t helped but there used to always be 5 or 6 really good teams in it ,now there is one maybe two at a push .

So st that they knocked us out of the comp before we'd had time to realise we were in it. frown
