A correction here. At the start of the Premiership era before all the money came in, Villa & Utd had exactly the same number of titles (7) same number of FA Cups & European Cups. So point remains. Carragher is ignorant. LFC also objected to NUFC takeover. All about the status quo
"Aston Villa will never be Man Utd" - Carragher so ignorant, before start of the Prem in 92 Villa had more titles than Utd & same number of FA Cups & European Cups. 3 Clubs will always look after their own interests & undermine threats from rival clubs.

He is 40 years old 🇧🇪
At 14, expelled from school for missing classes due to youth team duties, then dropped from the national team after clashing with the coach
His mother and sister both battled cancer when he was in his early 20s. His mother died, sister survived. He played a match right after her funeral.
Faced family eviction after parents divorce. Grew up in an area with drugs/gangs and admits he could have taken a "wrong path"
Speaks 5+ languages fluently. Dutch, French, English, German, plus some Spanish/Italian
Earned a Global MBA from Manchester Business School while captaining Man City, graduating with merit/distinction.
Became Bayern Munich's first Black manager in Bundesliga history. And also first Bundesliga black manager.
Married lifelong Man City fan Carla Higgs in 2011. They have three kids (daughter Sienna, sons Kai & Caleb)
Scored a stunning 30 yard screamer vs Leicester that helped seal Man City's 2018/19 title. His teammates yelled at him not to shoot! 😂
I remember this very wellll
Led Burnley to Championship title with record 101 points in his first managerial season using stylish, possession football.
Won the Bundesliga title in his first season (2024/25) with games to spare
Overall record at Bayern is over 100 games, 76 wins, 13 draws, 11 losses (76% win rate)
His Bayern side scored 100 Bundesliga goals in just 28 matches this season.
Vincent Kompany's parents taught him he'd need to work "twice as hard" as others due to his background

Having a loved one live with cancer is very hard on the mind.
Having 2?
Insanely critical on anyone's mental health.
And then the pain of loosing one of them (his mother) at a period where you are just getting into your career and life..... Is unimaginable
.
.
You see, Vincent Kompany has gone through a very tough beginning. And it would be very hard to grasp that he would still have the mentality to pull off these achievements in his career as a player and coach
.
.
Now for you reading this....
You have a past.
I have a past.
Vincent Kompany has his own past.
And I particularly don't know how hard your past was, or it's mental implications on you
But what I do know is that, your past is not above your willpower as an human.
You can still grow the willpower to take active small steps consistently, to outgrow the negative impacts that your past has on you.
Yes. You have to outgrow your past and it's hold on you.
That's what Vincent Kompany did.
He didn't forget his past or pretended it didn't happen.
Instead, Vincent grew his mental state resilience and toughness, so that his past won't have any hold or control over the decisions he makes in the present, that will shape out his future.
And to grow your own mental toughness, you just need to focus on 1-2 things that absolutely bring so much meaning and fulfilment to you. And then do it so long that it becomes your new "normal" (overriding your past hurt gradually with time)
Yours can be your spouse, your business, your kids, parents, siblings or like Vincent's... Family, friend and football.
.
.
He has the heart of a fighter and I know whatever health issues he's currently facing now, he will overcome, just as he did all through his life, till this moment 🩶
On behalf of everyone reading this, I wish Vincent Kompany a speedy full recovery.
Get well soon brother. Your teammate just won the Ballon d'Or and everyone can't wait to have you back in the celebrations 🫂❤️

The queues outside 5 mins into the game & the view from the tram replacement buses which took 2.5 hrs to get from Alty to Piccadilly. Thousands only got in once the first half was well underway. Atmosphere good though & Brighton fans were also excellent.

Who is this tosser who pays for a blue tick to judge any set of fans. Sunderland's loyalty is proven beyond doubt as is ours. Doesn't need to give an opinion & doesn't need to run an account which offers nothing at all to anyone.
Seen a lot said about Man City's empty seats tonight, but I haven't seen many people mention this embarrassing turnout from Sunderland fans at the Stadium of Light...
I get that things have been going badly for them lately, but that is atrocious...

DAY 20: Question for the media: Why aren’t any of YOU asking why the Premier League refuses to release the names of the “independent” commission members?
Transparency works both ways. Why the silence on this?

City fans still being asked to accept the findings of a verdict of anonymous people. Surely if people knew who they are they'd have some confidence in the PL. Media questions City's transparency & accountability, where is the PL's ?

Port Vale 5 City U21s 0 - a naive performance against a team 2nd bottom of the football league. Attendance 1,183 (118 Blues who sang til the end & 2 bananas). 5 goals from open play & beaten easily in the air throughout.

Gordon, get Jim to ask the Abu Dhabi government for a sub. In 2008 they bailed out Barclays, you know, who were Title sponsor for the whole of the Premier League at the time.
Sir Jim says @ManUtd nearly bankrupt so can’t pay big transfer sums…no wonder…we spend so much time paying off sacked mangers with vast sums of money because they still have several years left on contracts. Millions & millions.But no one held to account.Just sack the next one!
