You read 'rejoice', but I didn't write it. I just stated that the business model relies on developing kids and that we're doing that.

During the Premier League era, but not in the last decade. Mansour bought City in 2008 (the week we knocked them out of the league cup on penalties at Withdean). The grip of money has just got stronger and stronger ever since.

The man is a waste of space on most subjects, but he really outdoes himself when it comes to football ignorance: moaning that we didn't beat a team funded by a nation state whilst referencing an obvious reason why it was very unlikely. "We've cherry picked their best players, why do they...

RDZ in his press conference last night said that we are about playing young players and that young players have to be given the chance to play and make their mistakes in order to improve. He took pains to point out that although Barco made a mistake for the third goal, he 'played a good game'...

This makes me cry: And this makes me smile:

Players run on average approx. 10km/6 miles in a game. They do this in a stop start fashion involving a lot of short sprints. Putting aside the turns, the jumps, the physical challenges, that's an Olympic 10,000m often twice a week. I reckon they're probably as fit as those who manage it once...

Someone had to take Kasper Schmeichel's place. I spent seasons hoping the same for him in matches against us. It never worked. He usually just saved a penalty. His anger at the two disallowed goals in our 2-1 win was very funny though.

None taken....

Of course there will always be butts. Sean thought he had it sewn up until Diego bent over and set off the sprinklers.

I think it's more that we'll have a government that tries to follow Hippocrates' advice - 'First do no harm.' The power of nation states is often over estimated in today's world of international capital. Economically they can only scoop a bit around the edge of the lifeboat whilst floating in...

Weird that some have such a strong reaction against KS. He’s selling to the right because that’s what Labour does to get elected. The test will be when he’s in power. I never disliked JC and would like to see a lot of his proposals introduced. However, we don’t live in a vacuum and good...

Will we still need him? Will we still read him?

As a socialist I'd rather the country was run by capitalists who believe in social justice and want to do stuff like Sure Start, BSftF and the minimum wage than by evil lunatics. Having lived most of my adult ruled by the latter, I can't afford to be precious about the faults of the former...

Oh okay. I'll vote for Clement Atlee's 1945 Labour Party.
