Five points all season.

Sheffield United almost doubled their points tally last night. In January.

Still not a single bite from my rag mates who were gobby as anything a few weeks back.

The clowns such as Murphy and Delooney who said it's between the Rags and the Dippers for the title a couple of weeks ago are quiet this morning.

Very ballsy to go to the owner of a site famous for hating you and saying that if the users pay they’ll get better content.

fuck off

I wondered why a reporter on a paper that hates us should feel a need to contact the biggest City forum at all about his paper's headlines and why any paper should have 2 reports on one match with different content.
I am still wondering.

100%. I don’t think pundits should be employed without a significant stint as a manager as well as player.

The problem is that that football is broadcasted on most days of the week on dozens of Channels all over the world so TV companies are crying out for ex pros to come on and give their opinion.
The problem is there are very few out there with the level of knowledge and professionalism needed so the broadcasters are basically scraping thr barrel to find someone in a saturated market in which the bar is set so low a limbo dance would struggle to get below it.
The most knowledgeable and credible ex pros are either coaching or managing themselves and usually aren't available.
If you played a handful of times or failed miserably as a manager over the last 30 years it's easy money.
There are a handful of decent pundits out there but most of them are stealing a living.
If you look at most panels of ex pros commenting in a studio these days it's like watching an episode of The Muppets.

No mention of the footy results on BBC local news.Maybe it didn't happen !!

To be fair to Radio Manchester they said that the Rags had a reality check last night and that City were top with a game in hand in their 8.30 update.
The fact that I was shocked that our publically funded broadcaster produced a factually correct report says it all.

I was pretty close with my Olympic rick(rock) climbing guess....just the wrong sport.

I saw the news on the bbc news channel overnight, this mornings mini-Mike's bit & the local news, not one of them mentions who are top.

If funny as fuck, if the sort being discussed was RL, RU etc whoever was top would get a mention.

Hit the bar there ...makes me laugh all day yesterday was How they could go back to the top even then didnt mention we were top.
Really is churlish from a supposedly independent organisation

Pep doing a tactical masterclass but all of the journalists are either too thick to be able to analyse it or too bitter to bring themselves to praise us. You've got to love how much this season is pissing them all off!

Surely a human rights article must be imminent? Then carragher and neville spending half of Monday night footballer focusing solely on how to try and stop us to get the word out to everyone else in the league. Won't be enough

Up the blues

With Murphy chipping in with his "Just kick 'em" contributions every now and again
 
<looks intently at bbc football website for their daily early morning rolling news discussing last nights results, the papers backpage headlines and the transfer gossip>

clearly I’ve got a problem with my browsers, anyone else having better luck...

Talkshit had the assistant editor of the mirror on. Amongst the incoherent ramblings he said”Liverpool are a likeable club”. They were discussing the lampard sacking and how fans of other clubs see Chelsea supporters as ‘plastics’. The bias comes from their personal feeling and that is what they print.

You know what I don’t get? The media act like United and Liverpool are their biggest customers but, even if you combined their supporter bases, they’d only total about 15-20% of the country’s football supporters. That leaves a whopping 80-85% who aren’t fans of United/Liverpool and I’d bet 95% of them despise one or both of those two clubs.

And while there are a fair few dullards in society, they won’t be fooling or enticing as many people into their web of delusion as they think they are.

Yeovil Town fans showed you a little snippet of this a few years ago:

Some of the greatest managers in world football have tried to work out how to stop pep. What chance have these 3 muppets got in an hour

I agree, but they'll probably try. They won't be able to stop themselves, they must be in a lot of pain right now :). But with our crazy (good crazy) fluidity at the moment those three clowns won't even be able to work out who's playing where, let alone be able to come up with a plan of how to stop us. Good times. :)

Broadcasters seem to only have one criteria when employing pundits – did you play for Liverpool or United?!?
