Not sure what Bednarek’s done wrong tbh I would have played him and the Viking today

So Hughes, Allardyce or Moyes? Sticking a pencil in your eye is also available as an option. Personally I’d go for Jardim once he’s turned down Real Madrid.

City fans on the train home were bigging up Lemina. I said we’d take De Bruyne in part exchange.

I agree. We could and should have scored 3 (Ings on the rebound, and Shane shooting wide from a good pullback for the 493rd game in a row). But we didn’t. I thought Danny Murphy was spot on on MOTD as well - we weren’t sitting back with massed defence, but nor were we pressing high. So it was neither one thing nor the other. We created more chances than many teams do at the Etihad but we also let them cut through us like a knife through butter. 8-3 would have been a fair reflection.

At least we played better than we did at Anfield. Although that’s not saying much. A quick thanks to British Rail (or whatever they’re called these days) for canceling the only sensible train back to SOTON. Stay classy lads.

Get him on the bus.

Yup. Class from Claudio. Our game rescheduled to November 27th.

Anyone who went to Pride Park in pre-season knew that already. But seriously - last season, when we were proper sh1t, we came within 20 seconds of getting a point at Man City. I’m going up expecting a draw, he lied.

I've already done that at Wolves.

Just back. Lemina was good, Hoedt was good (yes, that’s the second week in a row that i’ve typed that), but chances created and general self-belief? Meh.

I’ve taken the plunge - £50+ is taking the p1ss though

Belated thanks to LadySaint for the ticket. It was sunny and we got a point. Haven't seen a goal away from home since Palace though...

What does neutral area mean anyway? Will it be full of Man Utd fans who've never been to Manchester?

Pretty fair summary. Armstrong should have scored near the end, and Gabbi nearly did. Won’t be popular with everyone but I thought Wes Hoedt played well. Got to top up the suntan, but it would be nice to see another league goal soon though...

Please do. How do I get in touch?

They're really not, but don't let that bother you. In the five games I've seen so far, Nathan's probably been our best player this season. HTH

He's our Cedric... !

Great Western was excellent. Friendly locals, good banter, great beer. Trick was to buy more than one beer each when you got to the front of the queue!

Only good news was that the sun was shining. Wolves were there for the taking, but we were just insipid. Armstrong had a game to forget, didn’t he?

Got my tickets for Liverpool and Wolves, but Bournemouth has sold out before I got the chance to buy. Anyone who has one, but finds they can't make it... please do get in touch. Cheers...

Three winnable home games. Two points. Sigh.

Leicester every time. Could die happy.

So the other 19 clubs agreed at the start of the season that they’d let Leicester win? And they persuaded all 25 players in every squad to play along? And all the refs? And all the linesmen? Riiiiiight... #xfiles
