Have to say that despite what I think of his current footballing abilities, he does seem to be getting it full on from the press. Two friends and a chef does not a party make anywhere except in the UK press.
Won't stop me reading selective bits of the Fail online (already fucked the Grauniad off), but certainly has me thinking it's an utter lowlife piece of shite and when and if they put it behind a paywall, that'll be that - I'll bin the press in it's entirety.

What really pissed me off about yesterdays match was when I turned on 2 minutes before kick off. $ky interviewed Pep and the first question was about Mendy. Then during the match the camera pans to Mendy sat on the bench with one of the gobshites mentioning his Covid breach.
Mohamed Fuckin' Salah went away on international duty. He was supposed to be in a secure covid free bubble but instead he was 105 miles down the road partying. He then caught Covid and missed games as a result. Has anyone asked the Toothy One minutes before kick off about it ?
Has the camera ever panned to Salah during a match whilst the commentator tells the world about his disgraceful behaviour ? have they fuck.
We have also had the Tottenham 3 (plus a West Ham player) all partying over Christmas but thats for a later rant.

Again, further examples of what i've been banging on about - how Liverpool and United especially use influencers in the media.
Their indiscretions are swept under the carpet, but ours are highlighted - it's deflection, smoke and mirrors – and it works perfectly for the most part... most people don't, can't or refuse to see it, but it's there for all to see.

Pardon? The media have yet again ripped into us, it is nothing new. OK it was daft but it was 4 people and a chef. Spurs and West Ham players had a huge party together but there is no media witch hunt. Salah broke all the rules, including international agreements but again no witch hunt. Stop falling for the shite thrown at our club.

I'm not defending Mendy either and I'm not sure what more the club can do other than give the players clear advice on how the rules affect them and on the consequences of (a) breaking them and (b) being found to have broken them. But there, does appear to be a sense that, as usual, City are being reported differently to others: the Kyle Walker story that has now mysteriously disappeared, the almost universal negative reaction to the postponement of the Everton match and the way The Sun reported Mendy's misdemeanour was full of suggestion and designed to provoke outrage. It's only my opinion but it looks, to me, like Pep was defending 'the club' as a whole not just Mendy and well done to him for doing that.

We had that with the media over Sterling's gun tattoo with the S*n leading the outcry, yet a year before published a positive story about a Liverpool player with a gun tattoo....
 
Rather laughably John 'unfunny liverpudlian comedian' Bishop has been cast as the companion in the next series of Doctor Who. Death by a thousand cuts but that's another story...

Does anyone remember Jason Manford hosting yet another title party outside the Town Hall a few years ago? He rang up Bishop and left a message on his answer phone- was the massed ranks all singing the Stevie Meee song. Pure poetry!
