I hadn't heard the 'drama club' epithet before. Why are they called that? And Pete, who was this player that you so hated? Back to Spain, I still think it will be a two-horse race this season, and probably closer than ever, but I would expect Málaga to begin to gel and play more consistently...

I think the word 'choke' is probably accurate. It is our first appearance in the CL and the level is very different, much higher than domestic leagues and we need to adapt and become familiar with that step up. City's still a new team and is improving and gelling game after game. A team that can...

I hope Toro, Liq and Pete are now revising their opinions of the likely winners of this season's EPL. My beautiful Blue boys have now gained 25 of a possible 28 points, scored 45 goals in the last 15 games and humiliated last season's champions. Are you guys now taking City seriously? As for...

Given that a Superbowl or an Olympics attracts around 150 million viewers worldwide, while a FIFA World Cup final will receive in excess of a billion viewers tells us all something about which sport most people find interesting. Silly debate really. If you love Gridiron football, stick to it. If...

No shit he feels he's responsible. There's a nation of 300 million who believe that one guy in a yuppie duplex in DC controls the planet. Things go to hell (before, during and after his tenancy) and he's gonna feel responsible...'cos that's the deal he spent a billion to buy into. Do I feel he's...

Hi Spud Bud! I'm fine. Life's been very busy the past couple of months so I haven't been spending much time online, not even here. How are you? All business as usual over at DP? I'm just watching Scotland v. Argentina at the mo'. Really enjoying the Rugby WC even though the eventual winner is...

Are Barcelona starting to look bored with themselves? I watched the Valencia - Barca game last night and thought the Azulgrana looked uninterested for all but the last 15 minutes. Valencia looked really good, very committed and were the better side. Also interesting to note, Betis and Levante...

Well, Clough achieved what he achieved (2 European Cups, 2 League Championships, 4 League Cups and European Super Cup) with virtually zero funds, whereas Ferguson has been consistently one of the biggest-spending managers in English football history. True, Clough did not achieve much with...

Agreed. Cultivating young talent is one thing, and a good thing, but surely secondary to putting out a team that can win matches, not in the future, but in the present. He has funds to spend although the Arsenal wage policy, while appealing to the likes of Kroenke and Platini, makes attracting...

I used to admire Arsenal; I haven't for some time now. They have had a terrible defence for some time and have off-loaded their best players in favour of untried 'prospects'. When those prospects work, Wenger is hailed as a genius, but for every Fabregas there are two or three Chamakhs or...

How very you, Pete. I think if you watched both games you'd admit that City winning away 5-1 against Spurs was every bit as good as ManUre's big home win. Edin Dzeko was certainly the best player between the two games. Spurs were bad, but Arsenal were absolutely appalling. Don't forget, United...

What glasshouse is that to which you refer? I'm not aware of Britain or Spain having won a major sporting event through corrupt voting. I could be wrong, of course. Damn! I was answering you and just missed City's fourth against Spurs. Boy, are our lads looking good?!

You'll meet far more United fans who've never been to OT. Yes, Bacon Face is the second or third best manager in English football history, I'd still place Clough and Paisley above him. City fans, while there might be a few band-wagon jumpers leaping aboard at the moment, have stuck with City...

Do you know the legend of King Knut the Great? He tried to command the waves to stop breaking on the shore. I think the FFP rules will prove just as effective.
