Clarets Consumed & Cityzens Arrested

With a busy start to 2026, it ended up a double bill of games to cover in one episode, intro’d by The Sickbed Kid, as soon as he was half-functioning again, to briefly review a long-awaited home victory over Amex bogey boys Burnley, before handing over the handheld recording duties to our regular Northern ‘Monks’ oop Manchester way for the always daunting visit to The Etihad.

At last, they’ve done it! Russ and Pete have finally completed the 92, after some delays and with no thanks at all to cup draws, frozen pitches and a lack of convenient rescheduling for TV in recent seasons.
