Looks like trouble in paradise. After years of indulging his descent into embittered insanity, looks like even Miggy has had enough of MacKenna’s defence of far right Covid deniers

Ha ha.

Miggy D going on about "inflammatory buzzwords"
"Evidence,"or lack of,etc.

The irony meter must be on maximum.

 

[give it to gordon]

Well done Jackie.

She did very well in Talksport just now.

Simon Jordan schooled, resorts to no history jibes

Any link ?

Not sure if already posted but this is from Luke Edwards who was linked yesterday for gobbing off on Radio 5.
Bless.

There's so much wrong with this article.

But it is a worry for English football. Or it should be, because the unique selling point of the Premier League, the core value of the brand if you like, is the idea that, at the start of every season, at least three or four teams start with title ambitions and perhaps as many as ten consider European qualification an achievable target.

9 teams topped the table this season. Spurs, United and Liverpool were all supposed to go on and win before we arrived from the back of the pack.

This is an extract from Luke Edward's column about Liverpool having the quality to win a second title

Manchester United have pulled level, Manchester City’s warm breath can be felt on their necks, while Leicester City, Tottenham, Everton, Aston Villa and, yes, Southampton, as well as Chelsea remain close enough to strike.​

​

Does that sound like a one horse procession?

​

Then there's this - How Frank Lampard has turned Chelsea into Premier League title contenders

​

Telegraph Sport recently looked at the clubs the best young striker in Europe, Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, could join this summer. There are probably three in England - Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United, possibly Liverpool at a push - but if it comes down to money, it will be Manchester City he chooses.

Alexis Sanchez. Fred. Jorginho. Maguire. All transfer's city backed out of for financial problems. All under Pep.

Manchester United dominated English football for the best part of two decades under the management and wider leadership of Sir Alex Ferguson, but they were constantly challenged, whether it was Arsenal or Chelsea. And they rarely, if ever, cantered to the title as City have done

There have been nine 10+ point margins of victory in Premier League history so far. Manchester City are currently responsible for 1. Manchester United 4. Arsenal, Chelsea & Leicester 1.

In fact 3 of our 4 league titles post-takeover have been won by 3 points combined.

No , sorry about 10 15am, It was a very good debate. Initially about Jesus, then went on to history.
Jordan;
Jesus not good enough
City no History
Treble, is not good enough.
While at the same time defends Barcelona.
Barcelona are not skint , they are restructuring their finances,

Trevor Sinclair has been a joy to listen to this morning on Talksport. I usually swerve this station as it’s largely toxic but I’ve enjoyed this morning greatly.

Nice one, Trev.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Making the league uncompetitive and boring when City. Dynasty building when red teams.

Must be ok to win or compete for numerous trophies though; Sly have United's treble on loop.

 

[oman0115]

When we do win it - the dross they will come out with will be that we havent won it 6 times so we cant be classed as great until that happens

Its all tied into their fantasy means the Sheikhs will get bored and walk away

Two absolute cunts together.

Actually there has been some really good listening on this 10 -1 00pm show in recent months.
Jordan hates City, but if you can get past that, and the nob White, there is some good stuff. Compared to Brazil ,Durham, Goldstein anyhow.
The topics at least break the surface

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

Miggy having the temerity to call someone else out on their opinion falling down against actual evidence.

Oh, the ironing.

 

[Blueknows]

Wasn’t it Khaldoon who basically said that we won’t be blamed for their ineptitude. Seems he knew what was coming as it’s now all our fault for their failings.

good I hope we dominate for another 10/20/30 years

 

[nellyonthewing]

Luke Edwards in The Telegraph bemoaning how City could win the quadruple and how that would be terrible for the game. I guess he's Martin Edwards grandson.. Maybe I'll go back on and ask him..

At least Delaney is right about McKenna’s ridiculous argument about COVID19 but on all things City they are both twats.

Fuck him.

 

[Blueknows]

Poor little old united, only spent 700 million on players in the last 4/5 years and the highest wage bill in the history of english football, but lets pedal a myth they are cant afford to spend like City. Fucking pathetic.

they have spent more than us since they last won the league

 

[Blueknows]

yeah. and then thrice until we had won it more that the dippers. Then it would become irrelevant and they would invent something else.

probably we would then have to win that tin pot world club cup

 

[The perfect fumble]

There was a discussion in the sky studios with carragher and the tone was city need the champions league to be a great team. Has anyone else noticed whenever the league looks wrapped up it is almost dismissed and they turn their focus to the champions league as a stick to hit us with? It happens so many times.

Yep, here's the goal post moving festering pile of shite.....

My favourite para from that article:

"But the really troubling thing is that City are the only club over the last few years who have been consistent in challenging for the main prize. They will have finished first or second four years running in May."

Meanwhile United in the 1st 21 years of the PL before the fall off in 13/14:

1st 13 times
2nd 5 times
3rd 3 times

Luke Edwards knows all this but for his own or the paper's editorial reasons has gone all-in on the City are bad mantra. I wonder why that is? :)

 

[StillBluessinceHydeRoad]

She made an excellent point about paying a lot for young players in relation to possibly paying 100m for Harland. We paid 37m for Sergio in 2011. Divide that fee by the years we’ve had him, factor in the results he has given us, and it’s possibly the best piece of transfer business ever done by any team anywhere.

Wasn't it revealed a few years ago that the actual fee paid for Sergio was only £28 million?!!

 

[eastmanc]

Yep, here's the goal post moving festering pile of shite.....

Fuck me them goal posts are hoping about like a fucking frog. What happens if we win the lot have we then got to do it back to back.
