Take me home... Me and my buddy Joe after the final match at Highfield Road, 20 years ago today. Lots of fond memories of a great stadium. We won 6-2 so don't know why I was grimacing! #pusb

No matter where we finish, we've got our mojo back under Frank's leadership. And we've beaten hoodoos against Swansea and Preston too 😄 #pusb

#Amandaland - an absolute triumph. I've really enjoyed Motherland and this was a brilliant spin-off. Brilliant writing and new characters.

'Fight till the game is won'. Credit to the City boys for sticking at it in a difficult game, and brilliant to see Ellis at the double. We are moving. #pusb

Very much a second-string from Liverpool, but that's a brilliant performance from Plymouth. Why can't they defend like that in the Championship?!

Magic of the Cup with Donley's halfway line wonderstrike for Orient v Man City! Goes down as an OG - but please give him that one, Dubious Goals Panel 🙏 #facup

Matt Grimes is a statement signing from the Sky Blues - a consistent, highly experienced midfielder who is leader and a winner. Early days still under Lampard but feels like we're raising the bar. #pusb

Like ham and cheese, we're on a roll! A 9-point week for the Sky Blues against teams just above them. Our players are enjoying their football again and things are looking up now under Super Frank. What's possible? #pusb

Fantastic away win. Very assures, took chances, and tactically superb. Allen and Dovin stand out. Delighted for Ellis and BTA getting amongst the goals. Self belief is back. We're climbing. #pusb

Watching #Elvis' 1968 Comeback Special on BBC2. What a musical genius, what a voice, effortlessly rolling out his hits in his first TV appearance for eight years. Funny and charming too. Can Liam & Noel do the same later this year?!

We're wonderfully inconsistent under Lampard so far. W3 D3 L3. Sums up the season as a whole. Getting Haji back and maybe a few quality January signings will surely push us into a top half finish - no chance of anything better. #pusb

Three points chucked away because we couldn't manage it to the final whistle. #pusb

Feeling very pleased with myself - finally grabbed a 1 in #Wordle today. Total luck of course. 🥳
