Just knew with all the plaudits off Drury and savage in the game that Drury would mention that. Maybe he was told not to mention it but was in him to say it anyway subliminally.

TBF our four centre halves have cost in the region of £200m
But Stones Ake and Laporte are all 26, Dias is 23, so they all should have eight years or longer left in them

She is good generally but there's no doubt she went early last night.

We’ve all been guilty of that, err.... haven’t we ?

 

[Fiftyyearsandcounting]

The only time Drury let himself down tonight. Neglected to mention who shattered the world record for a centre half

Yes, better than most recent commentaries, though he did prattle on far too long about some teams having streaks of losing by more than 3 goals. Took about 3 minutes for him to finish this piece of nonsense, and all the while ignoring some clever City passing moves.

Why all is not well for Pep Guardiola and Manchester City

Unhappy players, a Covid outbreak, poor form and a lack of goals are testing the City manager like never before

Can we make this a sticky?

Anybody remember this Mendes of Spurs at Old Toilet, Carroll the keeper and Clutterfuck the lino.

What’s their point though? Van Dick and Maguire combined cost more than £150m. We’ve got 4 quality centrebacks for £200m? Wow, brilliant business from City.

It was a factual statement and not made in a snidey way, such as Darke saying "they paid £60m for Cancello. That's an awful lot of money for a substitute "

There’s lot’s of factual statements that the broadcasters could make, but don’t.

‘there’s Liverpool’s £66m goalkeeper’

‘Here’s my co-host Rio Ferdinand, who climbed out of a window to escape a drug test and was subsequently banned for the majority of the season’

‘Rangers manager Steven Gerrard, who once beat a DJ to a bloody pulp on camera because the DJ wouldn’t give him special treatment’

‘Let’s get the view of Jamie Carragher, before he spits in my face’

He did seem to enjoy it.

One of his lads is a blue I think

 

[LongsightM13]

He has a role at Macclesfield FC and said he lives nearby so probably Wilmslow, Prestbury area, guess he's become/has friends with a few blues who have subconsciously influenced him.

He does. He also runs a team in the East Manchester Junior League for his youngest lad

In Rio's case you could have mentioned cheating on his wife, then making a sloppy documentary saying how much he missed her.

Have to say I enjoyed Savage enjoying City last night. He gets a bad press but I’m warming to him.

Seems like a sound bloke to me.

Big buddies with one Bobbi Manc from their time at Leicester as well.

And Craig Bellamy, his best mate

If only he had an "e" in his surname,he could be Wanker 2,after Colin.

Master Stephen Warnock
Tramp Ste Chosen Wanker ;)

Danny Morphine when we got a corner:
"I remember when we had a corner at Crewe once. What an experience that was"

Worst of the lot

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Similar to Leon Osman going through the superlatives of Sian Massey being the best assistant referee in the League only to make a thousand excuses after the boo boo.

She's never been exceptional in my mind, without trying to sound sexist.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Depends on your idea of "early", for some it could mean 20 minutes, for others it could even be while getting undressed......or... er so I am told.

 

[LongsightM13]

Nedum on SSN for the next hour, talking a lot of sense

 

[M12Blue]

I’ll not take to him until he sorts out his bonce
