Bring the pale blue and white hoops back for the shirt. Classic kit.

What kind of crowds do they get? 

What % of fanbase are expats, apart from you?

Any overseas players?

Great goal by Rashford 

What's your team CB?

After last nights 7-0 over Leipzig, here's some interesting stats for you then. Bet 7-0 sends shivvers down your spine eh.

Haaland's record-breaking night in stats

Erling Haaland has broken Man City's 94 year-old record for most goals scored in a season. His 39 goals beats the previous record of Tommy Johnson that has stood since 1929. And it's only March.

Haaland is the third player to score five goals in a single Champions League game after Luiz Adriano in October 2014 and Lionel Messi in March 2012.

He has scored 33 goals in 25 games in the Champions League, reaching the 30-goal milestone in fewer matches than any other player in the competition’s history.

Haaland also became the youngest player to reach 30 goals in Champions League history.

Haaland has scored five hat-tricks for Man City in all competitions this season, three more than any other player in Europe's big five leagues.

He is the first Premier League player to score five hat-tricks in a season since Harry Kane in 2016-17.
 

No interest in this Delete fest

So boring in here these days. I miss BB. 

Oh well, won't be long til the next financial irregularities development. 

My guess is they'd be ecstatic to see someone walk through the door.

So for a book is a worse reason to shoot someone, the other reasons are OK....

Of course that's not true but what is true is:

Most of the worlds terrorist acts are by muslims - but obviously not all muslims are terrorists. 

 

Excellent point. And that's why we shouldn't make sweeping generalisations such as "that mob" when most Muslims aren't terrorists or shoot people.

I'm confused, you said that apart from Arsenal ye were having the best season, then referenced winning silverware as the measure you were using, but Arsenal haven't won a trophy since 2020

Not the first time a farang has been left exposed and confused.....

Arsenal are leading the PL, so safe to say they are having the best season. Out of us in 3rd and City in 2nd, I think the Carabao Cup gives us the edge.

Sorry if you still don't get it, you're on your own now.

Perspective?

Yere not even having the best season in Manchester, never mind England.

I never said England 'Mr Farang'.

And not having the best season in Manchester? Can you remind which trophy City won?

Anyway thanks for your contribution Mr Farang

Apparently not photo shopped but a real shop in Malta. Quite unfortunate 

 

Thanks for highlighting our huge international fanbase again. 

Some very winnable games ahead. Can we respond to a setback as well as we have previously this season and get on a run? I would go with a strong team against Betis and try and rebound.

Also, a bit of perspective.... you could argue that apart from Arsenal, nobody is having as good a season as us.

Heads up lads!

Guess what, my chest hurts too! It is because of the high levels of SMOG.  I suggest relax and try some deep breathing, go somewhere else..

Any level above 50mcg is considered unsafe as long-term exposure is linked to chronic diseases, including lung and heart problems.

 

“The BMA is urging city residents who have difficulty breathing, eye inflammation, chest pain, or headaches after going outside to see a doctor.”

Thanks but i don't live in Bangkok

With chest pain the main differentials are:

 

1. Cardiac cause (angina, heart attack). This is an emergency but would usually be described as a crushing pain/pressure and more often on the left. Can't exclude this but your description does not raise immediate alarm bells.

 

2. GERD (reflux). Your mention of burning and of it being triggered by lying flat or bending over is suggestive of GERD though there would usually also be some throat discomfort/burning. Reflux is common in older people and people of any age if overweight. Also often linked to caffeine intake. 

 

3. Gastritis. Consistent with location and description of the pain but not so much with  being worse lying down or leaning over. 

 

Gastritis and GERD can coexist

 

4. Muscle spasm or injury - in that location  this would be usually be what is called  costochondritis though that pain is usually described as sharp. Most often there would be a history of injury or strain before the onset. Strain could include things that required upward movements of the arm or twisting of the torso. Rowing, weight lifting, various sports can cause it. So can severe coughing. Any history of these? 

 

5. Least likely would be an issue with the lungs. Can't rule it out but I would start with other possibilities first.

 

If it were me-- and assuming there was no strain or injury that preceded this --  I'd start by seeing if antacids and PPIs (omeprazole etc) give relief. In the case of antacids you'd be looking for temporary improvement whereas PPIs would give longer relief or prevent the pain altogether.  I would also avoid lying or bending over for 2 hours after eating.  If these things work then GERD and/or gastritis is likely cause but to be sure would need endoscopy.  Also should exclude h. Pylori,  common cause of gastrutis. For this would see GI specialist. 

 

If  you do have a history of injury or strain that might have inflamed chest muscles,  rest and NSAIDs usually do the trick but be very careful re NSAIDs as if the problem is gastrits it will make if much worse. Also there are contraindications to  NSAIDs that should be researched before taking.

 

If the pain becomes severe and if there is any radiation to left arm or shoulder these are signs of posdinle heart attack and shoukd go at once to hospital. 

 

Thanks....

No history of chest muscle injury but I do play squash and tweak things quite often

No other symptoms. Just a pain in my upper back / neck at about the same level

Go see a doctor.  I put it off for a long time as well. Two ulcers were found and 4 months of heavy meds to get rid of them. It was not fun. 

No pain in my stomach. Just chest. And only been few days

Need get BP checked, at least rule out immediate cardiac/heart attack issue if normal range 120s/60s range.

 

At least go to clinic fast & cheap, or gov't hospital, and probably parking a hassle, but can walk in and their machines are usually their in waiting area.

 

Stick arm in take BP, if high, have a seat, wait 20 mins and do it again.  Any other cardiac/heart attack symptoms ?

Can you please describe the pain more clearly:

 

1. Where in the chest do you feel it exactly? You say middle but how high up,? Does it extend to base of the throat? 

 

2. What does the pain feel like? Burning? Cramping? Achy? Pressure etc?

 

3. What if anything seems to releive it?

1. No not up to the the throat. About level with the nipples.

2. It's more of an aching or burning

3. Not tried much yet but am trying some gaviscon now. Will report back

I play a lot of squash which can involve doing pretty intense movements and stretching into unnatural positions
