Davinson Sanchez taken off after 58/59mins = nul points. FFS.

At the risk of stating the obvious - not a chance .

Interesting. Can you ask again when the transfer window is closed? Will do. You’ll have played Swansea and Burnley at home by then too which might help .

How has Hughes not been sacked yet?

Genuine question. Would you take a draw every game for the rest of the season? I presume no, but 36pts and a GD of -11 might keep you up.

Hope he doesn't go - Liverpool are class to watch with him in the side. Hope he doesn’t go, that means the 123M or whatever they’re about to spend makes them go bust, and the club ceases to exist. Happy New Year!

As soon as I get back from my McDonalds run i’ll check who it is (think it’s Salah). God knows what other bullshit my team has. Think Austin might be on the bench . Totally blagged it this week . Captain Kane will get subbed for Vice-captain Salah, and I think I have 57pts with Bellerin, Hegazi and Foster to come. Nil-nil West Brom-Arsenal would make it the luckiest week ever.

...I do know that my draft team has Ben Davies, Vertonghen, Davinson Sanchez, Aldeweireld and Lamela, but that was a conscious decision.

Damn you, alcohol. Good luck this week, Captain Kane.

Worst thirty minutes he's ever seen from a home side. Cheers Gaz'. Bet he wasn't crying like a little bitch when plucky little underdog José set up his billion pound team against them to defend before attack. He's surprised that Rafa takes that to another level with the lack of quality we've got? f*** off. f***ing exactly. As I write we are one goal away from a draw against one of the best teams to ever grace the league despite being put together on a shoestring. Almost like Rafa knows more than Gaz. Loads of BBC commenters saying similar. You just know they’re the same cunts baying for Kane et al to be sold to a “big” club. If you want all the good players at three or four clubs then these are the sort of damage limitation exercises you can expect.

The way City have done it is the only way a club like us are ever going to be regular title challengers unfortunately. We are a club like you. It’s not the only way, just the easiest way.

Did I imagine them apologizing for tapping him up and officially ending their interest to avoid punishment? Was that not a thing?

Which is more likely - good or bad?

Great week so far, but hopefully it goes tits up now. Perfectly happy for Coutinho, Salah, and Firmino to have a mare.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Friends of ours came over with a curry tonight. They're from Indiana/Ohio, with no particular ties to any team, but they both play football, and have a son who's seven who also plays. He's chosen Man City as his team. If we were doing this ten years ago he'd have no idea they existed. I'm 44. I shouldn't give the slightest shit about this. I do, though.

As long as we have a clean sheet i’m golden . Not looking forward to the Spurs bye week coming up.

Actually thought he was a bit unlucky. First shot was placed in the corner and the keeper made a nice save with his feet, then the second one he nearly got it perfectly through the keeper’s legs and he just got enough of a deflection.

I got 93 and it was my best week all year! Mind you, if i’d picked the right keeper it would have been 101.

Finally got a captain right. Also finally got a Spurs clean sheet for my Draft team. Turned out nice again.

This is how we roll.

I didn't even blink.

I've not seen it, but I'm glad that at least diving is going to be retroactively punished now. Mind you, about time we got a penalty this season, after some of the ones we've been denied.

Pickford on the bench is a nice start.
