Idle Hands and City
I’m gonna go ahead and say all these journos and ex-refs thinking they’re doing the ref from the wolves game a solid by praising him and trying to find ways to agree with his decision are only making it a million times worse for him. Tying themselves and “consistency is key” theory in knots.

Nervy end. Won that in first half but not entirely convincing second half. Will give them benefit of the doubt they just wanted to stay solid which is what those celebrations were about for clean sheet at the end. Big shift to Galatasaray now. Win that and confidence will hopefully be back on track.

Happy with that half. Mad there’s some people that don’t see the value of Marmoush. He’s not just Haaland cover. I’d start him on the left over Doku even with Haaland in the team tbh. Maybe less exciting but more controlled than Doku, and more of a goal threat.

More excited about Nunes being back than I am bothered about Haaland being dropped. That says something. Not entirely sure what though.
Can’t believe how gutted I am the Nunes is missing. Who’d have thought. Not me.

There’s a fun quirk to football fandom where you can call for players to be rested repeatedly for the last few games and then when they finally are you can scream “NOT NOW!” and it be completely normal.

I remember parking around Maine Road and kids asking for a quid to “look after your car” (not key it). That’s essentially what the $1b to get a seat on the board of peace is isn’t it.

The age of the sports person social media apologies for performance is very OTT in my opinion. I preferred it when they had that secret captains meeting then came out absolutely fucking flying. I don’t need to be told you’re sad and embarrassed about losing games, that’s should be pretty obvious.

Such an odd time of evening to lose a midweek game of football. Not quite sure what to do with myself at 7.45pm.
January 20, 2026 at 7:46 PM
Just get Haaland off at least. He’s not gonna run enough with 10 men, and you sort of don’t want him too! Get Foden off too and Let Marmoush and Doku run about a bit

Why is Rodri playing 😂 he’s fucked. They’re all so knackered

Losing this game isn’t the end of the world in terms of the league phase, but it’s a lost chance at resting players and after the weekend just a massive knock in confidence. Could’ve had some kids on and lost and it wouldn’t have mattered at all. Just all a bit annoying.

Last seasons City are back I see
January 20, 2026 at 6:09 PM
Haaland, Foden AND Rodri! 🫠 blimey. Surely this means Wolves is the rotation game? Hoping to get the game won and sub these guys early?

Trump is fully just probing Starmer now. Feeling us out. Can’t back down one bit over Chagos now cos he’s just using it as training match. Give him and inch and he’ll take your country stuff isn’t it.

Only just seen that Pep quote about Bobb. “He’s says he’s not fit, so he’s not fit”. Not good when Pep starts talking like that is it. What a shame, truly believe he has the talent. Palmer levels of it. But that injury was so unlucky. Hope he finds somewhere suitable and gets back to it.

My phone finally sneakily updated to liquid glass over night and now I want to die
January 20, 2026 at 7:26 AM
Dust settled I’m thinking we got to where the new iteration of this City team is forming & visible, we were clicking, confidence back, 13 games unbeaten & playing for all 4 trophies still - so you can’t really question how this winter period has been handled so far. Especially with players missing.
January 19, 2026 at 9:34 AM
Has it ever happened before that the top 4 teams have failed to win and the bottom 4 teams failed to lose? Seems very unlikely.
January 18, 2026 at 6:51 PM
Honestly mad we’re only 7 points off the top. We’ve not really hit any proper form all season. There’s glimpses of a team there, be a shame if we don’t get our act together because there’s definitely a trophy or two on offer.
January 17, 2026 at 7:34 PM
Just bizarre all round. Close to comical right? We can just laugh it off yeah? Let’s do that and not absolutely lose our minds.
Rare that we’re this bad. Lose games obviously but not like this. Have to put it down to derby stuff and regroup.

Getting the same amount of yellow cards for that nothing moment compared to those two tackles and stamp on a heel is quite laughable.

I see United have chosen specifically the Roy Keane DNA today
January 17, 2026 at 1:00 PM
The fear of losing to the DNA bounce is real today. Hate it.
