If Tuchel isn’t taking off Spence and Madueke at half time then he isn’t the manager I think he is.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@UnitedDays99 It’s as if City know that the PL don’t have any ‘smoking gun’ evidence that’ll convict them. If they did, then the decision would have been made ages ago of course……

Still think Everton have been ridiculously and unfairly treated mind.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@StrettyEndView Like I said, the recent huge sponsorship deals with BYD, Revolut & Puma plus increased Silverlake investment; ground, hotels and leisure extension; plus players still signing for City reinforces my guess. All indicate City confidence. Add to that City’s APT and CAS wins and ……

@kick_in_grass Every international break and every close season we get this …. and then realise that no one but the three judge panel actually knows …..

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@slbsn As ever, thanks for your clear thoughts and explanations on this subject. I just wish more people would take the time to read your work rather than making stuff up and claiming it as ‘fact’.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@WeareManC1ty It’s looks very busy from here too - and the team haven’t even arrived!

No doubt the peddlers of the ‘Emptyhad’ myth will tell us that our eyes are lying to us though ….lol.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@UrmstonMeadows Lol. Currently enjoying the atmosphere at a sold out Co-op arena waiting for Noel, Blossom’s and Doves and a manager and some players who’ve no concept of finishing behind United.

“We see things you’ll never see ….” and all that….

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@mufcaways_ To their credit, these away fans aren’t even pretending that City don’t matter to them. They clearly care about Pep and his record of never finishing below United …… 13 seasons and counting eh ……

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@terrychristian @IanRouge Couldn’t just be that the delay is caused by the fact that the PL hasn’t got any ‘smoking gun’ evidence that will find City guilty. Of course, if they did have such evidence then City will have been found guilty already wouldn’t they?

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@BBCMOTD @BBCSport Couldn’t agree less. It was a classy thing to do and Aston Villa deserve lots of credit for realising yesterday wasn’t only about them. Kudos to Emery and his players.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@UtdMaI A totally one-eyed take and a factually incorrect one.

One was the greatest winner. One transformed the way football is played across the league. Take your choice which is greater.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@arghkid Centurions, fourmidables, treble winners as last seasons champions, four in a row…. plus numerous unbeaten and goal scoring records all unique to Pep teams. All incredible achievements.

Yet I agree that Leicesters title is still the best PL achievement of all.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@ByrneMark74 @BBCSport Well said … and kudos for not sinking to the levels of pettiness a lot have this evening.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@Realisiah1 …. and less Woodwood, the Glazers, Phil Jones and whoever is the new George Best …..

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

The joy of opposition fans celebrating Pep leaving City tells you all you need to know about his genius. His departure is a huge loss to English football. He changed the game at all levels & gave me some of the best times I've ever had watching City. I am forever grateful to him.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@utdAdams You’re absolutely right. However, this threads replies reveal that many United fans are very much stuck in the past, don’t realise the impact of finishing behind City for 13 successive seasons is having on the club’s MCR fanbase, & are generally clinging on to myths over facts.

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@MUFC_RA A fanbase reduced to this and making excuse after excuse.

It’s kind of sad……

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@Kabadwengz @BBCSport Give me a pint of whatever you’re drinking. It clearly alters reality!

[Stephen I @StevethePlanner]

@lukestanley03 The comments from the supporters of ‘whine and moan’ FC will no doubt be evidence based, rational and open minded…..lol.
