Champion’s League Manchester City - Liverpool

So we’re all getting quite excited around the North-East of England.  The sky is dark and storms are looming and I’m sure the Etihad Stadium is waking up for the coming battle. Guardiola’s run-away Premiership leaders, champions-elect, in fact, are on the wrong end of the results in the Champion’s League, however, with a 3-0 deficit to make up after the vicious mauling they received in the first leg at Anfield.  It has only happened 7 times before in the history of the competition, and that gives City something like 5% chance statistically. Guardiola is bowed but unphased, happy to talk about making and taking opportunities, and this they will for sure.  If any team could do it this team could, and with Aguero fit they will have an even stiffer and potent forward line with which to probe and stab the Liverpool defence. The sound here won’t be as loud as the raucous clamour of the Kop end last time around of course, but I’m sure the fans will give the...

The Last Jedi review - part one

Is it a sign of a lack of mental fortitude to get angry at a movie?  Is it wrong for me to be blazing with rage at 3 am because something I watched didn't meet my expectations?  Is it okay to reboot a franchise by stealth, choosing to destroy its future for everyone and ruin the memories of the people who made it famous in the first place rather than facing the facts and admitting that you have no new ideas at all and are forced to reboot, but you are terrified you'll lose the fanbase and profit, that cowardice and dishonesty is your only option Disney, you scum? There's some bad structure there but I'm too angry to even care.  Does she look like she cares or does she have the shits like me? Luke and Leia and Chewy are in it, so it must be Star Wars.  They're trying to create a new generation of fans so the old guards are introducing the new.  Fair enough.  No problem with that.  I'm sure my nephew cheered when the Death Star was destroy...

City Are Staggering

There's a joke going around that due to City's new sponsorship deal with Tinder they have got f*cked twice in 4 days.  It's funny to be sure, but is it accurate? Well come Wednesday when our red gladiators line up again versus the boys in sky blue, we'll be delighted to see Jurgen demonstrate how to finish the job not only with a holding game as others may try - and fail, but with the usual lightning fast attacking flair that has become Liverpool's trademark this season.   BUY MANCHESTER CITY SHIRT ON EBAY As for the other side of the city, where their 'auld enemy' are still pulsing with years of rage at this upstart neighbour I am sure there is not a little delight at the way Mournho's team came back almost magically from another raping by the monster from the middle east.  United pulled off a super escape, thanks to the skill of an underused Pogba and the manager suddenly finding the minerals to fight the City behemoth o...
