MCFC fans in Chicago

Hey everyone, I recently moved to the city from Boston and was wondering if there was a supporters group that met up for the games? I did some research and saw that some people go to Aj Hudson’s but I figured I would reach out to everyone here to see if they had any other recommendations.

Bereavement: Advice greatly appreciated

United fan coming in peace. A family member who supported City died over the weekend. I am reliably informed that City print names of deceased fans on an ‘in memoriam’ section of the matchday programme. Please could anyone advise me how this is done. A combination of my grief and City’s website design mean I cannot find an answer.

Manchester City Chess Set according to AI

Asked AI to create chess set for Manchester City. Here is the result - what would you change?

For Manchester City, crafting a chess set based on their legendary players involves recognizing key figures from the club’s recent dominance as well as influential players from earlier eras. Here's how I would assign the pieces to symbolize City’s evolution into a footballing powerhouse:

Pawns (8) – The Workhorses and Essential Contributors

Pawns represent the reliable, hardworking players who have been essential to the team’s success but might not always be in the spotlight:

  1. Pablo Zabaleta – Known for his tireless work on the right flank, Zabaleta became a fan favorite for his grit and passion, embodying the fighting spirit of City’s rise.

  2. Fernandinho – A key figure in City’s midfield for nearly a decade, Fernandinho provided defensive stability and leadership, often doing the dirty work unnoticed.

  3. James Milner – A versatile and hardworking player who contributed in midfield and defense, Milner’s professionalism and work ethic were critical in the early stages of City’s modern success.

  4. Gareth Barry – A dependable midfielder who helped solidify City’s midfield during their early title runs, Barry’s presence was key to City’s stability.

  5. Edin Džeko – Though often overshadowed by bigger stars, Džeko’s goals were crucial in key moments, including his role in City’s dramatic title win in 2012.

  6. Gaël Clichy – A reliable left-back during City’s initial rise to prominence, Clichy offered consistency and experience.

  7. Ilkay Gündogan – A smart, tactical midfielder, Gündogan’s intelligent play and goals in crucial moments have been essential to City’s recent successes.

  8. Shaun Wright-Phillips – A dynamic winger and hard worker, Wright-Phillips provided energy and flair during his time at City, especially in their pre-wealth era.

Rooks (2) – The Defensive Pillars

Rooks symbolize strength and reliability, representing players who formed the foundation of City’s defense and team stability:

  1. Vincent Kompany – The ultimate leader and rock at the heart of City’s defense, Kompany was the captain who helped lead the club to its first Premier League title and beyond, making him the perfect choice for a rook.

  2. Kyle Walker – A consistent and pacey right-back, Walker’s athleticism and defensive strength have been vital in City’s recent successes under Pep Guardiola.

Knights (2) – Creative and Unpredictable Playmakers

Knights, known for their creativity and ability to change the game, represent City’s most dynamic and unpredictable attacking players:

  1. David Silva – One of the most creative midfielders in Premier League history, Silva was the magician behind City’s attack for a decade, capable of unlocking defenses with his vision and skill, making him a perfect knight.

  2. Raheem Sterling – Sterling’s dribbling, speed, and ability to get into dangerous positions make him an unpredictable attacking force, with the ability to change games, much like a knight on the chessboard.

Bishops (2) – Elegant and Tactical Movers

Bishops represent players with tactical intelligence and elegance, gliding across the pitch much like the diagonal movement of the piece:

  1. Kevin De Bruyne – One of the most elegant and intelligent playmakers in modern football, De Bruyne’s vision, passing, and ability to control the game make him an ideal bishop. He dictates the tempo and cuts through defenses with precision.

  2. Yaya Touré – A dominant midfield presence who could glide through midfield and make powerful runs, Touré’s combination of grace and strength transformed City’s play during their title-winning seasons, making him a natural fit for the bishop role.

Queen (1) – The Most Versatile and Dominant Player

The queen is the most powerful and versatile piece on the chessboard, representing the player who can influence every part of the game:

  1. Sergio Agüero – City’s all-time leading scorer and one of the Premier League’s greatest strikers, Agüero’s versatility, clinical finishing, and knack for scoring in big moments, including his famous 93:20 goal in 2012, make him the perfect queen, symbolizing his immense influence on City’s success.

King (1) – The Heart and Soul of the Club

The king represents the figure who has had the most profound influence on the club, essential to its identity and success:

  1. Pep Guardiola – The mastermind behind City’s transformation into one of the world’s best footballing sides, Guardiola’s tactical brilliance and ability to build a team that dominates both domestically and in Europe make him the symbolic king, guiding City’s rise to greatness.

This Manchester City chess set reflects the club’s journey to the top, blending early contributors like Zabaleta and Barry with modern icons like De Bruyne, Silva, and Agüero. The defense is anchored by Kompany and Walker, while the brilliance of Pep Guardiola reigns as king, representing the club’s tactical and strategic dominance.

“When I was 16, what I wanted was that the defender I’m playing against, I don’t want him to sleep after,” Doku said. “Like, I want to kill him. After [we play] I want him to hate me.”

Will Haaland Break This Upcoming Record?

If Haaland can manage to score against Inter Milan this week before facing Arsenal, he will break Ronaldo's record for fastest 100 goals reached in the shortest amount of games ever.... can he do it?
