    Rodri is out for the rest of the season for Man City with an ACL injury. While it’s wrong to celebrate someone getting injured, especially a world-class player. There’s is a part of me that can’t help thinking a) this is helpful to our title challenge, and b) in addition to being a phenomenal player, he’s also a mouthy, dirty bastard. So maybe there’s a small degree of karma to this.

      a) if anyone deserves it, it’s him and b) the way he sustained it was trying to get one of ours sent off for absolutely nothing. So forgive me, PGMOL + greater Manchester area, if I don’t mourn his knee ligaments.

      Aye aye. It does weaken Citeh for the other teams. But there’s also the scenario where it’s ‘cut off one snake head, another grows in its place’ a la H.Y.D.R.A. Their depth is scary and it’s their strength.

      Plus it’s Rodri…so anyway…
