BEFORE THE WHISTLE | BOURNEMOUTH (A) | MEMBERS
Happy New Year! We’re kicking off 2026 with sore heads but high spirits after Man City dropped points at the Stadium of Light. Matt Candela arrives fashionably late (giving us full Aubameyang vibes), Johnny takes a victory lap for his Sunderland prediction, and the boys prepare for a trip to the South Coast to banish some ghosts.
On the docket:
🐈⬛ Black Cats Bite: City stumble against Sunderland, and Johnny explains why the Stadium of Light is a trap.
🪄 The Captain Returns: Martin Ødegaard is topping the charts for through-balls and finding his shooting boots—is he better than ever?
👔 Managerial Merry-Go-Round: Enzo Maresca wants out of Chelsea, sparking a debate on “Galactico” managers and Arteta’s elite status.
🍒 Bournemouth Preview: We haven’t forgotten last year’s trauma. The boys discuss how to handle Semenyo, Iraola’s tactics, and why this time feels different.
🔮 Predictions: From ugly 1-0 wins to 5-1 thumpings, everyone is backing the boys to extend the lead at the top.
