    Bit late on this but agree entirely. There was a time Ramsdale looked a decent option but that's fallen away. Our keeper sometimes gets mentioned as an alternative and 30 years ago may have been an international keeper (he's an excellent shot stopper) but his distribution and general play is a level or two below Pickford (there's no comparison) and his only England performances have been so-so. Pickford has always raised his game for England and he's only 30, he's got 2-3 tournaments in him yet and only needs replacing if a trully exceptional young keeper appears.

    He's a good keeper like there's no doubt about that.

    Possibly my favourite ever game watching my lot was the 3-1 win at Citeh in 2015/16 - Aguerro netted a last minute consolation - we were unbelievably good and watching the double substitution of shell shocked Yaya Toure and David Silva who had been chasing Kante's shadow all game was the icing ...

    Would have been nice to see what he’d have achieved at a serious club. We’ll never know. When I ended up in the away end when Everton beat B-town he was unbelievable.

    Man City have had to carry the unenviable burden of sporting excellence amongst a sea of mediocrity for more seasons than is fair to expect. It's time for another club or two to at least compete and give them a breather.

    Man City will win the league next season. Probably finish 3rd - 5th, this season.

    They deserve this breather after everything they’ve done for the premier league. 4 in a row isn’t for everyone.

    It's no good beating city away if you lose to ipswich at home, spurs can't be taken seriously.

    Slot should do something to make it a fair fight. Players can only shoot with their weaker foot or get a couple of spliffs going around the dressing room before the game. Maybe have the players don a suit of armour when you’re a few goals up.

    Watched the Wolves highlights. Should have the points docked for wearing purple instead of orange. Woke nonsense.
