You may see the old man but look closer and you'll see the lifelong learner, the runner, the wannabe poet and the cineaste who loves stories of humanity and resilience. Family matters (and MCFC is part of my family)

Come the inevitable collapse of society and systems, I'm wondering what I can offer to help rebuild (and be fed in return). My sons are a Computer Scientist and a Chemistry graduate and my wife is a qualified nurse. Me? An expendable retired senior manager. Ah well.

It was great to see City playing with a real DM - like the old City. Only one game but what a confidence booster But it highlights the absolute stupidity of going into the season with ZERO back up to Rodri. A Rodri, don't forget, that had been complaining of being knackered for the last 2 seasons

Wow, what a difference a DM makes. Better structure, better protection on midfield, other players confident to play their football. Now, let's see if it cures or 2nd half collapses #MCFC

Finally went to The Brutalist last night. Great film but, fuck me, that run time!

Weird 1st half. First 10 minutes and last 10 minutes, Madrid have looked dangerous. The middle part of the game, totally controlled by City. Definitely more goals in this. #MCFC

Dear Labour If you think you can chase the Reform vote and still keep mine, you need to think again. I am not, and never have been, a racist moron. If that's whose vote you want, then you can fuck right off. A disgrace.

30+ years after Thatcher, we have consensus politics again. Little difference between the parties on: - Brexit - Taxing the rich - Hammering benefit recipients - Demonising immigration - Pandering to extremists - Political donations (bribes) - Austerity - Fossil fuel company wishes - Media control

City need a new manager. Pep has been brilliant but his time is up. His system leaves us exposed to counter attacks all the time. Even Orient. All that attacking, creative talent and he can't find a system that works.

Defensively, City are all over the place. #mcfc

I watched Starmer at the Holocaust Memorial Service say: never again will we sleepwalk into fascism. Yet he sucks up to Trump and fails to condemn Musk's Nazi salutes. All hot-fucking-air. Fascism is OK, it would seem, if it'll help economic growth
