Lots of attendances shot up after WWII but Newcastle’s particularly spiked. Wonder what the reason for that was?

Looks like Puskas has been missed off the article I was reading. And also looks like he did it even quicker than Haaland.

David and Sam kindly invited me on to talk City from a tactical perspective alongside, the great man, Jon Mackenzie.

I found it really interesting, hope you do too.

Yeah that’s a lot of what we cover and what sort of balance we’ll eventually strike in a changing environment.

Shameful day

The Athletic | Football @theathleticfc.bsky.social · 6d

UEFA has approved a landmark move to allow Italian and Spanish domestic league matches to be staged abroad while reiterating its “clear opposition” to the plans, which it has granted “on an exceptional basis amid regulatory gaps at global level”.

Only two players have scored more goals inside their team's opening seven games of a Premier League season than Erling Haaland has in 2025-26 (9).

Erling Haaland in 2022-23 and Erling Haaland in 2024-25.

Got the three points and that felt important today. It wasn’t pretty 2nd half and it’s very different to how it has been. But they’re battling and I don’t think we come away with the points from that last season.

He’s allowed to take as long as he wants with these. Stupid

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 7d

There’s no way O’Reilly has taken as long taking that throw as they have fuckin about before taking the long ones

When we take a goal kick short you realise why so many of them have been going long

We’re too easy to put under the pump still. Biggest difference between where we were and where we are now. We didn’t used to suffer spells like this.

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 7d

Would be nice to get a second. Difficult to see Brentford remaining as toothless in the 2nd half.

Decent display from City, been tidier on the ball than we’ve seen more recently.

Ah, he can’t get right can he. Sad to see. And obviously huge for our season. Looks like a hammy has gone now

The appetite to stop that cross coming in from the short corner there. I don’t think we stop that last season. Combination of physicality improvements and better mental state

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 7d

Ha, no one else scores that. Monster

You can see already they’re trying to get Nunes to jump to the wing back in the press, go back and go long

No Doku is a surprise.

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 8d

Yeah definitely

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 8d

Feels like a big one today. Win and we’re in touch with the top of the table. Don’t win and we’re amongst the pack.

Would have been nice to have Khusanov fit against their threat on the break.

Finally concrete evidence that James Trafford is no where near 6’6’’.

It’s been annoying me for ages.

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 9d

Nobody?

Current: Trafford, Alleyne, Lewis, O’Reilly, Mubama, Samuel, Whatmuff, Mfuni, Noble, Mukasa, Braithwaite, Headley, Miles, Heskey, McAidoo

Former: Rogers, Gittens, Fletcher

+ half the Chelsea first team squad

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 9d

That would have been some signing.

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 10d

Yeah, Sunderland with Mancini in the stands (or not)

City Tactics @city-tactics.bsky.social · 10d

‘Santa-Cruz scored 3 for City’

The rage that ran through me hearing that.
