In our latest edition of Things We Love, Club Journalist Caroline Oatway rounds up the best of the internet’s offerings from the past seven days…
Music and me
It’s no secret Gael Clichy likes his music.
Remember in 2015, when he revealed to CityTV he takes a full set of DJ decks on tour with him?!
Well, he’s been talking tunes once again with Kicca, sharing his thoughts on the King of Pop Michael Jackson.
In an interesting comparison, Clichy describes him as the musical equivalent of Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi.
Watch and enjoy…

Remember your roots
A story of goodwill.
Everton winger Yannick Bolasie repaid his former club Hillingdon Borough – who used to award him a free burger for scoring a goal.
The Club, though financially stable, were at risk of not existing due to a lack of support; but Bolasie stepped in to offer advice and save the side he represented in the early days of his career.
Thanks to everyone for your support in a tough day #nonleaguefamily

And huge thanks to @YannickBolasie for helping this historic club.
Step forward
Some wonderful news reached us this week…
Neto – a survivor of the tragic Chapecoense plane crash – has taken his first steps without crutches.
Inspirational.
Blue ink
Obviously, we love City ink and although we don’t know who specifically is responsible for having this emblazoned onto their skin, we are impressed.

The Stoke’s on you
Very cheeky, this from Stoke City, who put one football fan in his place following criticism of former Blue Glenn Whelan!
That's strange, he's still fishing £89m out of his back pocket #SCFC https://t.co/XVlRbSfjDy

Willo’s world
An insightful piece on ex-City man Willo Flood’s career journey – and the challenges he’s had to face, including a burglary at knifepoint!
Fan debut
We all remember our first game and the memories of walking up those steps to look upon Maine Road (or the Etihad Stadium if you’re younger than I!) for the first time.
It’s a special moment for any football fan, and we were moved by this young Sheffield Wednesday fan’s reaction to seeing Hillsborough for the first time.
All together now… Awwwwwww!
A young Sheffield Wednesday fan seeing Hillsborough for the very first time.
