Manchester City

[Bredbury Blue]

Sergio Aguero is now Manchester City's joint-top all-time leading goalscorer with *Tony Book (*Eric Brook). His goal on Saturday against Burnley was number 177 (130 with his right foot, 32 with left, 15 headers) for the club, equalling a record that had stood for 77 years.

He reached the milestone of 100 Premier League goals in 129 starts, 147 appearances in total, which is the second quickest behind Shearer. Aguero's goals per minute ratio, however, tops the lot of those to have reached a century. 

Over his six full seasons in Manchester, he averages 28.16 goals, with 30, 17, 28, 32, 29 and 33-goal hauls demonstrating unprecedented consistency. He was the Premier League Golden Boot winner in 2014/15.

To date this season, he has scored seven Premier League goals in 543 minutes of football, at an average of 78 minutes per goal, the best of any player with three or more goals. His career average of 0.69 goals per game is exactly the same as Kane's, 0.1 better than Henry's.

The five goals he scored against Newcastle United in October 2015 is the joint-highest in a single Premier League match and certainly came during the shortest period at a remarkable 23 minutes and 34 seconds.

Digest those numbers for just a second and ponder how on earth Aguero has never been named in the PFA Team of the Season. He has never won the PFA Players' Player of the Year award, or the FWA's Player of the Year. If Netflix are on the lookout for their next true crime series, look no further.

Quite possibly.  He's a horrid little creature that slags off his players in public....why would they like him anymore than the Chelsea and Real Madrid players?

Seems that the Wolves cup game isn't being shown live in the Uk and Asia so guess I'll be missing this game; would have thought Premier leaders vs Championship leaders would have been of more interest than Swansea vs ManU but you gotta have manu on I guess.

12 channels of tennis, 3 American rugby football, Kabadi, cricket etc etc

 

We have various beIN and sometimes the compound swap a channel or two to get a match on but the usual ones in the house package are bein 2, 7, 12, 13. We also have SunTen, skysports etc. and the "establishments" have more but they aren't open for the late night matches

Well done to Wolves for putting in a resilient defensive performance. They were really up for it and although they had 10 men behind the ball for most of the game, they had their chances to get a smash and grab. Every one of them put in a 110% performance.

 

Was really impressed with our calmness in the penalties. Particularly Sergio's Man City all time record breaking goal

Just googled it and shoot outs don't count towards your goal tally. So it looks like Sergio will have to wait a tad longer

Those floating panenkas are great when they work.

Yeah, it's mili seconds between seeing the goalie move and picking your spot. Takes great confidence and considering his recent penalty misses I'm surprised he opted for that style. Suppose it shows that he never lets the pressure get to him

The other day he went to the right with his PK, last night with the panenka. Previously he had been targeting the left a great deal. It looks like he's trying to mix things up a bit.

Bravo has now saved seven of his last 11 penalties in shoot-out scenarios, as well as keeping out ten of the 38 spot-kicks he has faced in normal time.

Yh spot on BB it's gotta be fixed. No doubt about it. Absolutely.

[champers]

The Big 4 kept apart. Well, well, well. Who would have thought it? Just as well only the draw can be fixed or we would be certain of a Liverpool v Man Utd final.

[Bredbury Blue]

After the end of the WBA vs City game catch the last 30 minutes of England's Under-17 World Cup final.

Phil Foden is one of three City players likely to feature alongside goalkeeper Curtis Anderson and captain Joel Latibeaudiere.

The perils of following a small club eh mrboj?

 

Our game is on at the only time I can get a swim at the pool on a Saturday unfortunately.

 

There's always tomorrow though as I'll be hoping we can unlock those bitter reds early.

BEin Arabia are only showing one 3 o'clock kick off game at the moment because of copyright infringements. It's been like that for a few weeks now. All other matches that are not 3 o'clock are still being shown. We have been the featured 3 o'clock game for the last 2 weeks so was expecting this. Todays featured 3 o'clock KO is Liverpool V Huddersfield
