Back 4?
at 17:27 18 Feb 2023

I appreciate it was working earlier in the season but I am absolutely baffled as to why we haven’t reverted to a back 3. One of the first things good managers tend to do is shore up the back line. We look pretty toothless going forward and without Chair and Willock working in tandom have looked goal shy for over 2 years.
Over the past 5 years, probably longer, we have looked far more comfortable with 3 at the back than playing a back 4. Given our position, inability to keep clean sheets etc I would have thought changing to a back 3 with wing backs would have at least helped reduce the tide of goals against. We just look so easy to play though

Couple of shirts going spare
at 22:07 2 Jan 2022

I’m having a bit of a clear out out and wondered if anyone would like a home shirt from 2011/12 or 2015/16 (I think). The Malaysia airways Prem shirt is a small and the Royal Panda long sleeve is medium.

No charge just seems such an absolute waste to throw them away.

Please DM me is you are interested

Cheers

Running the London Marathon for Children with Cancer
at 22:11 8 Sep 2021

Hi all

In just over three weeks time I will be running the London Marathon raising money for Children with Cancer.

The charity has been our firms annual charity for the past 3 years and just under 2 years ago they spoke at our Annual Conference. Listening to the speaker discuss the roots of the charity (the personal experiences of the founder led to him to start it in a similar manner to Mark Prince) and what they do for the families of children with cancer and the research they perform really hit a cord. As a father for 2 small children at the time (now 3!!), I had a moment of madness when they referred to their charity marathon places and spoke to our marketing team about taking one.

That was 22 months ago and the world has somewhat changed since. My original training ended pretty immediately when I went down with Covid in March 2020 and subsequently I have had numerous small running injuries but I’m now on the final push on what I thought was going to be a four month training programme!

I ran my only marathon back in 2009 and 12 years later, having recently hit my 40s I fear it’s going to be even harder this time round.

If you are able and would like to sponsor me - it’s a wonderful cause - please see my Virgin Money Giving page below:

This is also childhood cancer awareness month and you can read more about that and what this fantastic charity does on their website at the link below:

Many thanks for reading

U18 retained list
at 22:57 21 May 2021

Maybe a Spackman but the U18 retained and released list came out today and is showing on the app. Looks like only 11 had deals up and unfortunately the last Eze has left the building as Chimaechi Eze is on the released list.

We’ve got our Rangers (song) back......
at 19:43 11 Jan 2021

Bear with me........the original Man City song was ‘Kolo, Kolo, Kolo, Kolo, Kolo, Kolo, Kolo Toure, Yaya, Yaya Yaya, Yaya, Yaya, Yaya, Yaya Toure.....which we took on and developed into Charlie Austin and Nico K.....and within 24 hours it’s turned out that we can legitimately merge the two and have Charlie Austin and Yaya Toure......
