If we ‘tricked him’ then surely we’d make him work bit not pay him?

Evidently, it's easy to trick a dullard.

 

[blueju]

Nor any serious interest in another ref revealing what should be serious concerns about referee bias or a serious look at diving generally with the way certain teams get to the to the top of the league through dubious decisions. All these affect the integrity of the sport but get left alone.
But what we will get is the same old dull, routine, worn to death cliches to do us down and big up team in red.
There are no sports journos with the balls and ambition to go after the truth?

So true, it really is hard to understand how out of an industry involving thousands of players, coaches, backroom staff, rich intelligent businessman owners, media staff, and of course their mouthpieces the media in general...not one of them has the integrity, the balls, or both to stand up against these two and their media paid sycophants. Why do we get players like James Maclean making a huge personal stand but not one of them ever comes out and says “I wish they’d shut the fuck up about United and Liverpool, I’m sick to fucking death of everyone arse licking them” and why would we never get a proper journo dishing the dirt on these horrible tainted clubs, there must be loads out there able to put their hands on some pretty incriminating stuff, especially about how Gill and Parry have used their influence and power especially against us . Surely it’s not just City fans that it pisses off?

 

[The Future is Blue]

Absolutely couldn't agree more. I'll watch BBC if they've got our match on live. Firestick for our other matches.

Oh, and I'll put anything about the solar system or cosmos by Prof Brian Cox on iplayer whilst in bed if I need to fall asleep quickly.

Don't worry "Things can only get better"

 

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

Disagree. I reckon he's an excellent spitter

Don't know why Pep spits so often. Every time the camera focuses on him, on the sidelines, he's seen spitting, for no good reason. I wish someone would have a word with him (perhaps his missus?).

I should really know better and stay well away from the mail but just came across this vomit inducing pile of shite...

Fernandes has shown how players should carry on in the Covid era

JEFF POWELL: The most welcome item of football news this week came with Bruno Fernandez being named Premier League Player of the Month for the fourth time out of seven.

Not sure what's meant by "perhaps he knows such infantile behaviour is for the birds" but we're shown hugging in celebration whilst that cock is sucking his thumb!

 

[chesterbells]

I think quite a lot of neutral fans can see through some of the negative coverage City receive. I usually make a point of drinking with opposition fans when on away trips as much as possible. The feedback from matchgoing fans up and down the country is often positive about City tinged with some envy. There is very little love for United and Liverpool.
But the negative "racist oil money" jibes seem more prevalent online from people who don't attend matches. The media assumes football fans are stupid but my experience at games suggests matchgoing fans know more about football than most reporters, especially those posh boy hacks who only discovered football when it became trendy for the hipsters.

Good post, and I’d agree that’s my experience amongst mates and work colleagues I speak to as well, 90% of them, whoever they support, see through it and aren’t taken in by the shite about us in the media. They are generally v complimentary about us, without any ‘side’.

That journalist has been around donkeys years; I remember him years back on Hold The Back Page as a regular with Woolnough - and he was generally a red-lover who had little positive to say about us.

 

[Blueknows]

Football focus vomit inducing

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

Jim White on Talkshite earlier complaining about managers spitting on the sideline in relation to Covid
He said "there are also manchester, sorry managers spitting on the sideline"
Clearly getting at Pep

Must have been watching Keys on beIN having a pop vs Brighton. With Pep, I think it's probably a nervous thing - like Keys displaying his nervous tic on tv 'Did you smash it fnaar fnaar' the utter twat.

i dont watch utd games but if this Fernandes is so good why didnt he play in the leauge cup semi final , i watched it and dont remember him

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

The Guardian, Mail, BBC, Telegraph all used City in the first reports.

Which is why as a City fan, none of the above should be used for anything football related.............

Football focus pep interview with commentary and highlights of all our losses, then focusing on his worst start to the season... Keown still think lpool will win the league,

The UK media, especially the press, has lost touch completely with its customer base. When you see people like Matt Lawton (Daily Mail) slagging off fans on Twitter it's totally bizarre. The volume of negative comments a lot of these reporters get is seen as some sort of badge of honour.
But upsetting the paying customers is a disastrous business model and most newspapers are already on their last legs because of the digital revolution (let alone Covid). Thousands of jobs have been lost in the media in the last decade. Trolling your own customers on Twitter is just commercial madness.
Most proper fans I meet despise the way football is covered in the press and on TV. There is no need for this to be the status quo. All anyone wants is honest, balanced, fair, and critical analysis of the sport we all love. What we get is bitter, partisan, and negative coverage where content seems to be designed just to wind people up.

Because he didn't want to be to close to blue shirts celebrating Goals and a Victory

Good, because it's going to be fucking lovely to shove it all down their throats at the end of the season
The piss taking is going to be on a different level

Frenandes. The most odious and cheating little shit in the Premier League! Fuck you Powell you rag twat.

Feel better now that I've got that off my chest!

How can he be setting the best example of "conduct during covid".............the fcker instigates bodily contact everytime he enters the oppositions penalty area!!!

And the briefest of mentions of how well Foden is playing, how many goals he has scored but no time for supporting footage of his goals and remarks about them. BBC are shite.
