Talksport are the same, I have it on in the car on short journey`s. It`s like listen to MUTV all day everyday unless they have some negative thing to say against City.

Only 22 minutes of transfer talk on Jadon Sancho during the SSN Transfer show on 7pm tonight.

Only 42 mentions of "Manchester United" tonight.

The highlight of the segment was the host grouping Dan James in the world class signings made by Ole. :lol:

Ole managed to get this clutch of world class signings to scrape into the Top 4 due to the spectacular collapse of Leicester. Let’s see how world class they are in the Europa League again this year

Thanks I suppose they had to have a reason.......if they finish equal top with same goal difference would it decide the league?

Think so, without looking it up. There is a list of ways to determine placing if the GD and points are level. One way IIRC is to go on the head to head results. There is even provision where teams are the teams are level by every other measure for a play-off

Netflix and Amazon have proved that if you provide excellent content at a good price people will be prepared to pay for it, especially when they are confined to their homes by a pandemic. No one is really doing this with sports coverage yet. The football content on SKY is mostly shit and 20 years out of date. They should be doing well but they are losing subscribers in their hundreds of thousands. They had a head start and they have blown it by going for the moronic clickbait audience.
 
Dear old Lawrenson is one bitter Shithead. On FF today said all City's defenders are average and guffawed that we've spent £400m on defence. Alex Scott who's normally decent said we shouldn't hide behind injuries. Nothing to do with no break/no preseason!

On the Littlepool game no mention of Mane's forehand smash or handballs for their 1st two goals. Lawro these days looks like the unfortunate progeny of Danny Murphy and Bingo Klopp. Super!

Media love to include players we have sold Otamendi about to sell Garcia or do no play in the position they belong in and will sell (Zinchenko) in our spend and never do our net figure and also ways count our players as total spend including bonuses and even wages

Mail is very bad at this they reported Torres as 21 million then straight way start saying he costs us 37

Leicester game was awful but a bit of fluke our team won’t look anything like that in future

Did anyone see James Gheerbrant’s piece in the Times on October 1st?
Very critical, stats based assessment of our current woes.
I agree with almost every word.

How Pep Guardiola’s defensive flaws are undermining Manchester City

Pep Guardiola is one the greatest coaches of all time, maybe even the best. Sixteen months ago, when Manchester City clinched the Premier League trophy on the f

thats hardly a surprise,almost every post you make is slagging Pep off.....
 
Oh we're falling apart, lucky if we stay up this season. Our two PL wins in the last three seasons - lucky with this horrific defence.
100 points - never happened.
All 4 domestic trophies in one season - that's an accolade awaiting Liverpool's magnificent team (don't hold your breath).
A terrible defence that concedes 3 goals less than the 'best team eva' last season and the same as United's 30M + 80M + 35M = 45M defence (190M).
Keep putting us down and we'll keep harvesting the trophies without acclaim.

The two full backs (who would look ordinary without the 3 defensive midfielders in front of them) and mr arrogance apart, Liverpool’s defence is average at best.

Laporte is class. How you can say that you cannot “hide” behind him being injured all last season like Scott said I don’t understand. If mr arrogance was injured they would be saying it’s understandable if they didn’t do so well
 
Very disappointed in some of those City fans on Football Focus today (3 October) who allowed themselves to be dragged into another BBC hatchet job on us. Without doubt, some very clever journalism and ruthless editing. Those fans will now be embarrassed - comments like 'Calling Pep out' etc. The only time they'll ever be on tv as well. Any positives they mentioned were not broadcast. Hard media lessons learned.
 
Martin Tyler’s ‘commentary’ during the Leeds match is a disgrace.

City having to ‘rely’ on 2 youngsters to make up the bench rather than praising that they are products of our academy coming through

City in the bottom half of the table.. that’s a cracker after 2 games

It was raining the last time Bielsa took a point v Pep (2011 for the record

Walkers excellent defending when he leaned into a Leeds attacker to stop a shot was what cost us penalties last week

What a wanker
