Dean Saunders rewriting history on talkshite just now, Liverpool could and should have been 3 goals up before Mane got sent off at City, really Dean? that's not what i saw

Someone should tell the tool that this would have meant Liverpool scoring 4 goals to City's one and then tell him that Liverpool only had 3 shots on target all game.
 
Pundit on R4 this morning (McNamara) called Benjamin Mendy, Bernard. Can't even be arsed to get to get names correct. What hope do we have?
Not 'permanently over-excited' Conor McNamara by any chance? (You think your team are seven up but it's actually nil - nil and someone's won a throw on the half way line)
 
As someone else has said, it was a good show by BT last night, and i thought Martin Keown was excellent in commentary. He was very positive about us
 
The problem is the support for football clubs in the UK is saturated with little scope for growth. The British media is obsesssed by certain clubs and a sense of entitlement.

Outside the UK is where the supporter growth lies and the only competitions that matter are the Premier League and Champions League. Do well in these and the support for City will rocket even more.

The message after the takeover was that the best players would always choose the Sky 4 clubs with history and City could only sign mercaneries. Now the best players openly choose City because of ambition and top players like Aguero, Silva and Yaya have remained loyal to City and won trophies.

The British media chooses not recognise this or the quality of our players. They are dinosaurs peddling the same hackneyed views and prejudices. The consistent negative spin about all things City has had an effect but luckily they carry little weight outside these shores where the media will form its own views.

We are no longer ickle city and have overtaken all but a few elite sides. Manchester City is now regarded as a top team throughout the world. Go on any football forum and fans of even the historic elite sides acknowledge it as fact. We do it in style. However, the bias against City still exists in the British Media but this will change with success. The BT showing of Feyenoord v City was the least anti I have seen although Keown couldnt help himself with his little digs. The best thing we can do is to make our views known and campaign for fair coverage.
 
The Daily Mail today asking about Jesus and Sergio, "Is This The Dealiest Partnership Around?"

I had to read it twice because I thought Sergio was a dead cert to be off. I mean, he was last off the bus at Bournemouth, and he never smiles all the time so he must be unhappy.

They remind me of those people who talk incessantly yet have nothing to say.
 
Sly have changed the mane kung fu style face fuck up to "catching" ederson, they went on to air an interview after the dippers draw with seville where mane suggests that after he "caught" ederson he only had his sight on the health of ederson and was amazed when he saw the red card.... he did look back at ederson whilst on the floor facing away for a fuckin millisecond and then pursued the ref down. fuckin hate dippers with a passion and has for sly, thank fuck I don't pay

The opposite of Martin Tyler who sounds like something terrible has happened when we score

Tbf, something terrible has happened when City score, if you are Martin Tyler.

He should probably get some credit for managing to occasionally not sound as if he's on Death Row, whilst commentating on a City game, unlike Gary Neville, who cannot disguise the cold feeling of doom every time we go forward.
 
% Live this morning - big features on Spurs & Liverpool games, with interviews with Darren Anderton and a former Liverpool player in the main part of the programme. Then, right at the end of the half-hourly sports bulletin we get a mention in the same sentence as Real Madrid. It was literally "Manchester City, who scored 5 against Liverpool on Saturday scored four last night with John Stones getting two, as did Ronaldo in Real Madrid's 3-0 win."

To be mentioned in the same sentence as RM is surely something they have psychologically classified us with. Some sort of Freudian slip that means there is very little to criticise or comment on regarding our expected performances these days.
Barca, RM, PSG and City are now apparently in the '''well what do you expect'' league of their own. Big news if we slip up of course.

He used to claim to be a City fan when he started out in Ireland.
