Yeah, I'd be looking at Nico G on Saturday. Don't think Pep is going to start Rodri/Nico G together anytime soon.

Am a bit worried about burnout. Think we need to keep Marmoush, Semenyo, Erling fresh. One of Semenyo or Marmoush should be rested today for Saturday night.

We're into 'every game is a big game' territory now. Looking forward to tonight. No complacency, no silliness, no bozo. Title run in City is what I want to see.

Team prediction: Gigi, Nunes, Dias, Guehi, RAN, Rodri, Bernardo, Cherki, Foden, Semenyo, Haaland.

Not everyone is built for a title race 😜

Haha.

Quietly, this season is shaping up to have a run in very similar to 13/14.

City on the other hand, were really good yesterday. Loved that second half performance.

The Brits were really bad. Music is in a bad place. Over sanitised, over produced, full of posh kids being lauded by posh adults. The edgiest part of the whole night was s nearly sixty year old man saying "up the fucking blues".

THIS.

Getting closer

Manchester City are the favourites to sign Elliot Anderson. An England international seems destined to land at Manchester City this summer. City are reportedly confident of signing Elliot Anderson.

Elliot Anderson continues to be linked with a summer move to Manchester City. At this point, I'd be surprised if Anderson doesn't become a member of Pep Guardiola's squad .

Got a bad feeling about later. I expect it'll be a draw. A win will feel huge. Maybe one of the toughest aways we've got left.

Two albums was me being generous. Retrospectively speaking they're just shit. Session musicians playing soulless 'tortured artist'. A remember watching Meeting People Is Easy and thinking 'what an absolute bellend'. He hates being famous so much he only hangs out with famous people. Cunt.

I'm confused. Are we keeping politics out of music or not?

In other news. Fuck Radiohead. Two good albums and a lot more utter garbage from a bunch of posh kids from Oxford trying really hard not to be Tory. Cannot stand them.

In a new episode with @ahsannaeem.bsky.social he breaks down why Pep isn’t leaving in the Summer

I’ll check it out.

I’ve started listening to the Business of Sport YouTube show. It’s got the bloke from Sunderland Til I Die On, Charlie Methven. It’s pretty good

Found Pep’s use of Foden and Cherki recently to be very interesting. Feels like he’s prioritizing goals and athleticism over technique and ‘pausa’.

To me this is about accepting the changes in the league and the transitional nature of this season with a new squad. I expect ‘pausa’ returns 26/27.

Learning CapCut, learning about Tik Tok algorithms, and generally learning what it's like to be a tech savvy post millennial kid.

Also, am turning 50 this year.

Because if his age I can see him staying next season as a squad player, but I don't see a world in which he ever gets in our best XI for an important game unless there's a ton of injuries.

How To Get To Heaven From Belfast is 10/10 so far. In love with it.

Whilst I see what you mean about the system, unfortunately he was bought to be part of that early build up. The problem is the coaches have realised he's crap at almost everything except crashing the box. If a midfielder doesn't have a range of passing, he can't play for City IMO.

Gundo is/was ten times the player the Reijnders is. Gundo was doing it at the highest level in his early 20's. Reijnders has had one 'breakout' season in Milan and he's 27.

No idea what you mean by he's our version of Trossard. He's just not very good, and the fact he scores a goal every 4 games doesn't change that.

We're buying a maximum of two. Foden is about to sign a new deal. Lewis never plays. Stones/Akanji are CB's, and Kovacic will end up staying.

Gives me rugby player vibes. Loves running into people with the ball and shooting over the crossbar…

Mane is a City fan too. Sounds like LFC are all over him at present though.

Lewis Miley is a player I have liked a lot since the first time I saw him play. Definitely one to watch.
