    Yeah but, Stevo bought an AMG Mercedes, took a Mitsubishi around a race track a few times, drives simulators and he's an expert on super and hyper cars. So come on, cut him some slack. He can tell you about DRS, AWD and downforce but can't tell you what the markings on a pretty standard bolt are.

    Talking of cars, who was the guy on here who “chipped” cars ?

    MOTD this evening should be quite entertaining.

    What do you reckon, @slowmart ? 😉

    I think the Wolves fans were also a bit bothered about Madueke speaking the truth about Wolverhampton 😊

    Pep isn't used to opposing fans singing 'You're getting sacked in the morning' 🙂

    I didn't listen to the whole game, but it reminded me of the odd Liverpool 1980s or United 1990s-2000s where they'd create loads of chances but get hammered once every season or so. A rouge wave, if you will.

    There's nothing fundamentally wrong that would prevent City winning the champion's league or something like that.

    Losing 5 games in a row should be a worrying trend.

    PS - Rodri is surely asking for a pay rise. Ballon d’Or and the team are shite without him.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

    If the PL title becomes out of reach, they can put all their efforts into the CL.

    only watched the highlights, City could have scored 4, on another day they might but defence is looking shaky, poor marking, midfielders not tracking back and Walker seems to have lost his electric pace.

    City have become heavily reliant on Haaland seemingly. He stops scoring and they have lost an eye tooth.

    Liverpool look very strong. Can't see past them at the moment. Better managerial signing than Man who.

    Yep, looked to me like Pep had built the team around Haaland to some extent. Although the pundits are also saying they're missing Rodri.

    Either way, it's good fun watching them struggle.

    Very nice to see Mourinho taking the moral high ground - his 3 titles won with Abramovich's money were apparently better than Guardiola's 6 won with dirty financial tactics.

    Spurs 'fans' throwing rubbish at Palmer evey corner. Pathetic.

    Chelsea should walk off and refuse to play until the corners at that end have been emptied of fans.

    They did exactly that at the 45 minute mark! 😂😂😂

    A good weekend of football all told 🙂 Looks like Chelsea are the only team with the momentum to catch the Scousers.

    Good to see the karma kick in and make those donkey Spurs fans suffer!

    Still think the PL need to hit them hard for the actions of those donkeys.

    Son is wasting his career at Spurs.

    Even Harry Kane managed to figure out that if you want to win trophies, you don't play for Spurs.

    Another good weekend of football 🙂 The Scousers will be getting nervous now.

    I think Chelsea actually have the better team.

    What's your take on Guardiola? I'm not sure he's got enough left in the tank to rebuild and replace a bunch of 30 something's, and recruitment will be getting harder, like the last years of Fergie.

    City being found guilty of something would see him quit I reckon.

    Hard to say tbh, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Seems City have lost their mojo and he's sounding a bit fragile. Relegation would be the icing on the cake and agree, if they get done on some of those charges then I reckon he'll be off for a career break.

    Where are these 'charges' ?! Doesn't seem to be much noise about them.

    Pound for pound, Pep is still the best manager in the world.

    (I'm not a City supporter by any means but lets be realistic here though I am enjoying it). There's definitely something amiss in the dressing room. All things come to an end.

    Rhodri is amiss.

    Their fall has coincided with his season ending injury.

    and Pep, (and most of his players) having never experienced a run like this doesn't know what to do to turn is around.

    If he's the best manager pound for pound then City should be asking for a big discount just now.

    As DB says, he's never been a situation begfore where he's had to manage a struggling club so hasn't got a clue what to do about it: maybe they need to sack him and bring Wenger in? 😉

    Interesting fact for football fans.

    Most people know that The Proclaimers are massive Hibs fans and that their fantastic song Sunshine On Leith is sung at games. But something a lot of you do not realise is that many years ago , brothers Craig and Charlie both worked as groundsmen for the club.

    They got the sack after players complained that the grass was too long and it ruined their passing game.

    The brothers blamed this on DIY store B and Q

    They went to Bathgate no mower, Linwood no mower, Irvine no mower, Lochaber no mower, Sutherland no mower, Lewis no mower, Skye no mower...
