    Looks like Rodri might be out all season with an ACL ...

    That’s a massive blow for City. Guessing they’ll sign someone in Jan, who though?

    You'd think so - but they won their first 3 Prem games without him - Kovacic played ...

    Short term Kovacic can cover for him, for the rest of the season though? I’m not sure he’s good enough.

    Hopefully they think Bruno Guimaraes is the player he was a couple of seasons ago and chuck some money at us. Guy has been off the boil for 12 months so probably not but i suspect in a better team he'd be excellent again and it seems we could use the money.

    Wimbledon v Newcastle switched to St James’ Park at a week’s notice. Travelling geordies have done their giro and that’s an expensive trip for the now away fans. Would’ve thought Charlton or someone could have hosted as a one-off.

    Stones maybe. Agree Kovacic isn’t all that but Guardiola will find a way.

    Fleetwood v Morecambe is inexplicably being televised tonight. One for the purists.

    Sure our owners could be approched if Wimbledon really are that desperate for the rest of the season, Ebbsfleet as well. Seems bonkers going all that way up North, maybe they like the idea of an away day that don't come round that often.

    Makes sense for the cup tie. Crap for the fans but good earner for the club. They’ll have to groundshare and maybe switch some home games for a bit. Plenty of options in theory not too far away. Could even share them across a few clubs in a sort of London tour.

    Yeah, being Wimbledon most fans will be wanting their club to help them, doubt they will be short of offers.

    In a nice world they’d be reimbursed from the gate receipts. In the real world they’ll be told to get ****ed and probably start knocking out horses.
