I didn’t realize Torres has 13 goals. Pretty solid first season. He is a great finisher.

Fun to see Carson get a W.

I’m still hoping that Pep lets Eddy take a penalty kick.

He had four in four starts in the Champions League. Good record.

The club has announced that Sheikh Mansour will foot the bill for the supporters who use the club’s official trip for booking for tickets/airfare.

Also, Kane is reportedly our first choice at striker over Haaland, per the Athletic.

‘On England duty Kane left Man City players sensing he was headed there.’

I like it but I worry about Kane’s age and health. He always seems to be injured. I’d go Harland first but what the hell do I know over the Master that is Pep?

1) JFC I'm not one to complain about officiating but today was absolutely abhorrent. We didn't do ourselves any favors but between Gundo taking a boot and that half-arse MAYBE yellow called red on Cancelo that was absurd.

2) I've said it before and I'll say it again. For the same money, or within 20% or so I'll take Haaland. Kane is proven and, while not ideal, we've shown we can play without an out-and-out striker this season. I hate to go all "cold, rainy night at Stoke" BUT Kane is a proven commodity in the PL and IMO a more complete player.

Losing to Brighton was embarrassing considering the pretty decent lineup we fielded. Granted, playing with 10 for 90% of the game was gonna be tough, I never thought a Dias/Stones backline would concede like they did. I am VERY concerned about Chelsea now.

Stones had to play right back after Cancelo’s red and Garcia played next to Dias.

The club has given up 12 goals in the last three games Garcia has played in.

Aguero...

Now officially the leading scorer for a single club in EPL history.

Fitting. Without injuries he'd have been the GOAT PL striker, if not one of the best in the world. As it stands I put him behind Henry. Regardless, he has without question the greatest goal in the history of the league.

Everyone talks shite about City buying titles and what not but our cheaper buys have arguably had the most impact. Sergio, Silva, and especially Kompany weren't huge splash buys. All for roughly what united got for CR. On top of that, all 3 stuck around for 10+ and all 3 had an argument for best in the world at their position for a couple seasons. I'll never argue that we don't spend, but I will 100% argue we get better bang for our buck than any team out there.


All BS aside, I legit teared up today when Kun came on. I started following City in HS in the early 00s because all my friends picked the big teams in FIFA, City had a guy named Goater, and I was a huge Oasis fan. I wasn't around for the Dickov promotion goal but I'll be god damned if you can show me a better moment than 93:20. I was watching on my mom's tv while she was getting ready to go out for mother's day. She got done around the 85' mark and came to watch with me. She had no idea why she was excited but I'll never forget it regardless. That shite will never be recreated. As local and loved as he is, IDK if even Foden can ever match Kun as far as meaning to this club.

The boys all seem focused.

Our first team lineup at the moment has me optimistic. Hopefully they can get it done.

That entire day was incredible. CL spots on the table, the EPL title and relegation spots. That day was the best two hours of sports I have ever witnessed.

COME ON CITY, beat the Blues on Saturday!!
