How you feeling Paul?  What a team and what a manager.

Is it your favourite moment as a City fan or do you appreciate the older achievements more?

Defo my best ever moment as a City fan. I never imagined we would ever be the top club in Europe and win the euro cup. The older achievements are still great as well though. I have very fond memories of beating Gornik.

Data entry is underway...

It’s hard to look past this squad and the ownership not sustaining their dominance for years. They are geared up for the long term. Lots more f young players in the squad who have years ahead of them. What summed up City for me is that De Bruyne going off would cripple most teams as he’s such a dominant player but City brought on Foden and there was no drop off. And that’s not about money as Foden is from the youth system. It’s the way the team and winning cone above individuals, no matter how good they are. If Haaland had come off then Alvarez would have fitted and they’d have adjusted to that. Amazing structure and gets the best out of amazing players. Dortmund must be a little proud as well though … Gundogan, Haaland and Akanji all came from there.

p.s. they’re still no Forest!!!! Got to do it back to back.

Superb achievement - and glad also to see data entry is underway and you haven't gone off-pissed like a certain Jack Grealish - I don't think he's slept for 4 days it seems...

Friendly games have kicked off so I expect the league games to kickoff at the normal time of 1000 hours Wednesday morning...

Thanks Paul.

Well beaten again by Rob - some team Barca are - a bit of an uphill struggle now but lots of football to play. Convinced I’ve got a team somewhere there - just need a tweak and time to gel…

League games are imminent...

Nerves beginning to take hold...

Huge week and questions to be answered..

Can Plymouth bounce back after their mid-week drubbing - will Haaland start to fire...
Can Twente continue with their rebuild...
Can Atletico survive the hardest match in CF - Barcelona away...
Can Independiente push on against another tough opponent...

The players are out and lined up and the ref blows his whistle for the start of this week's games, good luck to everybody this week...
