Was it as bad as that, I’ll check.
Reo Griffiths scored 4 of the 9. Sign him up! ..
It was. Lost 6-0 in the league, won 4-1 in the cup and now beat them 9-0 in the reverse fixture. Bizarre.
It's twenty years since the single greatest goal scored by a Man City player

...just because it was past his own goalkeeper doesn't make it a fantastic piece of skill

If you think our refs are bad, at least they're not as bad as the Honduran ref in charge of Chivas vs Toronto
Chivas went on to win the match on penalties - the match which happened to be the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final.
On the plus side, Chivas knocking out the Seattle Sounders and Taurine FC New York before beating Toronto in the final shows just how great the Orange Overlord's made America lately...

Giovinco had punched that defender in the balls earlier in the game, apparently. So **** him!
Suddenly I'm worried about our pre-season tour of the US.Giovinco had punched that defender in the balls earlier in the game, apparently. So **** him!
That or we're just going to knock seven bells out of Barca, Dortmund and Milan and the refs let it happen...

Just been listening to Kyle Walker on 5 live. He had nothing but praise for Poch and the club. His feelings for the club seem to be of much fondness and he hopes we will have some great achievements soon. He came over as a great lad with sincerity.
Good to see they can laugh about it. There was a danger Eriksen could have been truly furious.Eriksen

The sale of Wembley - what we know (even though none of it has happened yet).
1. The FA will get less than Wembley is worth. What they get will be less than any so far published figure.
2. Whatever the FA do get will not be spent transparently. Far less will end up at 'grass roots' than anyone is expecting.
3. The arrangement to use the stadium for the current England, PL and FA commitments will be more problematic than anyone is saying.
4. The contract will be full of loop holes to exploit.
5. Anything the new owner agreed will be null and void if he sells it on.
Any others?

Let me just check in with the Tommy Robinson fanatics on Twitter
...yup, they seem to have a problem with it.
Of course not. Privatise the profits, socialise the losses.

Shahid Khan has said that England could use the money from selling Wembley to make a World Cup bid.....or more usefully, we could just dowse it in petrol and set light to it.

What I have learnt about the national stadium this season is that it is in the wrong location. If the FA had their grey stuff in gear they would have built a stadium just off the M25 with bucket loads of parking for which they could charge £30 a shot. A licence to print money.
As I've mentioned before, the reason Wembley is The Home of English Football™ is down to little more than embarrassment.
First of all the Wembley Park area was renovated in the 1890s so somebody could build London's answer to the Eiffel Tower (which, guess what, was bigger...) only to find they were building a massive structure on soft soil and the thing was sinking into the ground before they were 20% done, so it was dynamited
Then came the British Empire Exhibition in the 1920s that was supposed to attract hundreds of thousands to the area...which ended up attracting tens of thousands and losing the equivalent of £300m+ in the space of eighteen months - but rather than tear down the centrepiece, the Empire Stadium, they kept it and changed its name to Wembley Stadium
