Very sad about this. Chris was my Dad's best mate and in 2009 after I finished uni let me doing a few days work experience at The Observer. Obviously, I didn't become a journalist but putting it on the CV helped a bit!

If anything, we need *more* billionaires to tell us their views on the state of the country. What a prick.

15th time I'll be going to Anfield this weekend. Still never seen us win and I'm already looking forward to potentially fucking off at 60 minutes and 2-0 down on Sunday.

I know I'm biased and I've not heard this yet but I reckon this will be the best podcast bonus episode about City and Fulham you will hear today

It's the good and the bad of #ManCity's matches against Fulham (for the second time!). This week's nostalgia episode is City Heaven, City Hell.

Bobb and Ortega going within a few days - neither of them really showed enough to be starters for City but both will be remembered for iconic moments in our last title win. In a squad game chasing titles, everyone has to stand up - let's hope we see that from the squad over the next weeks & months.

I'm clearly rattled by a TalkSport video but it does my head in when people talk about Pep and mention Ferguson as if united weren't miles off winning the title for a few years in the 2000s. The whole Ferguson v Wenger narrative overlooks that Ranieri's Chelsea were runners up to "The Invincibles".

BREAKING: #ManCity's captains have chipped in almost £10,000 to cover the cost of tickets for all 374 fans who travelled to the 3-1 defeat vs Bodo/Glimt.
Captains' statement: "Covering the cost of tickets for the fans who travelled to Bodo is the least we can do..."

As you were in the league. Arsenal and Villa could have made yesterday's shitshow look even worse. Still a lot of points to be won and lost, as unlikely as success for us feels at the moment.
