This time last year, I would have said Joe Ralls was on his last contract at City as he was missing lots of games and struggling when he did play. He’s missed. quite a few games this season, but it seems to me that, first, he’s in better form this season and, second, whatever it is which causes him to miss so many games is not affecting him as much when he plays - he’s been able to play the occasional full ninety minutes this season and going back a year again, I’d have said such things were beyond him.

Very good news regarding someone who has been such a great servant of the club - testimonial games are a”most unheard of these days, but Ralls has more than qualified for one now.
The '.........' at the end should tell you that he's not serious, Bob.
