I always spread good vibes when I see someone wearing something City-related.

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 9h

Same strategy exactly! The power of walks.

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 17h

Yeah, seems like that it is often conflated.

I also have a chapter from my diss on this issue (I think it was called "Unreasonable Citizens and the Limits of Containment), but I don't think I can go back and be bothered to look at it again.

Does anyone discuss how Bournemouth is over-reliant on him? (The way everyone talks about Haaland/City.)

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 1d

He's top!

SoW is brilliant.

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 1d

We feel so much more defensively solid with him in goal.

Amazing stat from The Athletic:

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 2d

Thx. I've heard that name before, but still don't know who that is :)

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 2d

Who's BAP?

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 2d

Pretty sure I know the answer, but will Grealish have to sit out the game when we play Everton after the international break?

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 3d

Watching the City match on replay, I can see why it would have been nervy in real time, but Brentford really didn't have any good chances (besides the Donnarumma save on Thiago).

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 3d

Really need Cherki to get his season going.

He's phenomenal (Evergreen post).

BREAKING: Rodri says he is ‘good’ after ‘feeling a little bit’ in his hamstring vs Brentford.

Rodri: “It seems like it’s not that much…”

The #ManCity midfielder confirms he will not join up with Spain’s national team, but hopes to play in #MCFC's next game.

💙🇳🇴 Erling Haaland: “I’ve never felt better than now!”. “To be honest I think with a kid, it makes me even better because I actually disconnect more than ever”.

Missed the game because my son was playing one himself (they won 7-1), but so glad to see my City with a win going into the international break! Go Blues! (No injuries please 🙏)

Nice! Same here. Donnarumma is way taller than him, even Haaland.

Michael Kates @michaelkates.bsky.social · 4d

Yup! It's now his spot to lose.
