I love this play almost as much as my wife hates it. If I really want to piss her off (which I don't often, thankfully), I just need to walk around the house singing ''I want to see the zoo, she said, I want to see the zoo.''

"They've a spinner who doesn't bowl spin for his county, a wicketkeeper who doesn't wicket keep for his county, an opening bowler who's not an opening bowler. What do you expect to happen? They've got an MD who's never managed or directed & a coach who hasn't coached a red ball team. Bloody chaos!"
"How has it come to this?" 🤔

Books read this year. Slightly behind target, but an interesting and varied selection, I'm sure you'll agree. Enjoyed them all. #Booksky

What a player Nico O'Reilly has already become. Incredible talent. And how satisfying that two of City's three most important players this season are local lads who didn't cost a penny.

Rather than a display of depressingly limited horizons and triumphant bigotry, Charlie is actually on a mission to eat pub food in rhyming locations around the world.
Next up - a big Sunday roast in the Ivory Coast.

Reform-type Chelsea fans trying to taunt their Cardiff counterparts with chants of "Rule Britannia". Where on earth do they think Wales exists geographically? Very odd.

At the '82 World Cup, we just pitched up at Bilbao's ground a few days before the tournament and bought tickets (£1.50) for the Eng matches vs. Kuwait & Czech. Tix for the sold out France match were easily available from touts for £10. Crazy what's happened to the game.

An embarrassing confession: I was thrown out of The Hawthorns in Oct 1980 (aged 17), 15 minutes before kick-off for singing the song below, and told I'd be arrested if I tried to re-enter. Was therefore forced to walk around the ground and watch from the home end. To cap a great day, City lost 3-1.
Oh! I do like to be beside the seaside!
I do like to be beside the sea!
I do like to stroll along the Prom, Prom, Prom!
Where the brass bands play
"Fuck off West Brom!"

Irresistible invitation to a very Mackem 'Christmas' from The Futureheads
Well, this is a surprise. Not so much that the Sunderland band should do a Christmas album, mind. Despite their raw and spiky hardcore framework, which channelled heavyweights like Gang Of Four and Fu...

Liverpool's decision to give Salah a new contract and the unedifying mess that is playing out now serves to highlight how strong and wise City were with firstly Aguero, then De Bruyne when the time came. Players of that level don't generally react well to becoming bit part figures.

Another goal from Ekitike and he'll become the second player this season (after Eze) with a palindromic surname to score a Premier League hat-trick.
