He’s going to say that being 5months into a 18month contract - he’ll probably try to milk us for every penny in the summer for ‘unfair dismissal’ as, in his opinion, he’s doing a great job. With the window opening so soon after the season, we need our new manager (wishful/hopeful thinking) in place before that window opens - or at least Brands or whoever will be in charge of transfer dealings/our long term vision.

Big Sam - not been sleeping well recently but just got a lovely couple of hours trying to endure that. So glad I passed my ticket on today!!!

Yep, brilliant sport. Coverage is great on Sky TV.

Breaking news....Man City coach driver arrested for driving without due care and attention after driving into the fireworks and bottles being thrown by the Chelsea, Everton and United fans.

Imagine Liverpool’s bus had been attacked and they were 3 down after 30mins - they’d be calling for the match to be abandoned! I hate to say it but they’ve been frighteningly good against the best team I’ve seen in a long long time!

I think there will be wholesale changes this summer... hopefully we get it right this time.

They’re at it again... Most of these simple pricks will be off home now to watch it on their dodgy Russian satellite box. Hope Man City smash them... or even better keep it tight so the deluded fuckers can claim it to be their year for a few more days!

Just doing some reading around and have seen that Fabra was a target at PSV as recently as February and Ozzie (the Turkish lad) was at AZ during Brands’ reign as DoF there.

I can see Walsh and Shakespeare ending up at WBA if this is true. Shakespeare hasn’t relocated since joining us (the same house he’s had since being a WBA player) - his house was on the market when manager of Leicester but he took it off and is still there currrently.

I know - but in the Champions League they’ve been untouchable year on year.

They’re full of quality and experience - been in the final 2 out of the last 3 years. Real are completely different class but anyone else... I’d give Juve a fair chance against.

Ronaldo’s 2nd goal tonight - WOW!!! Real smashing Juve 0-3 - class!

He’s back again...

I expect Colombia to go far this summer so, if true, it’s wise to get a deal done early before his price rockets.

Radio X - Best of British top 100. That’s my Easter Monday sorted!

I was a little hesitant originally but the thought of us moving into our new stadium (eventually) and my name being on a waiting list of thousands swung it for me. I don’t expect there will be as much of a waiting list this season but it’s a risk I wasn’t willing to take.

Great gesture.

Wilshere has played 31 games in all comps this season after playing 29 out of 38 (2 for Arsenal) in the league last season - yes has had a poor record with injuries previously but maybe he’s over the ones that have clearly affected his career up to now.

Not when Arsenal are playing easily over 50 games a season when you take into account the European games and successful domestic cup runs.

The way I look at it is - we all (well vast majority) wanted Barkley to sign and stay - that would have cost at least £100k a week and a hefty sign on etc. Most neutrals would have Wilshere over Barkley all day long. There’s a few question marks over Barkley’s fitness too. The reward outweighs the risk massively in my opinion.

When Guardiola is talking about you as a top manager who he admires then you must have something about you.

With an average attendance of over 20,000 per game, MLS has the third highest average attendance of any sports league in the U.S. after the National Football League(NFL) and Major League Baseball(MLB),[11] and is the seventh highest attended professional soccer league worldwide.[12]
