Can you imagine the headline in the Independent if United had won and we're 14 points clear.

C*nuts!

Manchester City mini-wobble offers worries for bigger tests to come​

Pep Guardiola’s side will win the Premier League but with the authority and control of earlier this season eluding them of late the Champions League knockout stages again could pose problems​

sounds like a threat!

Always bear in mind that the Independent is the online only comic that employs Delaney as its chief football writer.

It’s weird the reasons we have for having a soft spot for a rival team. I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for Everton as at school in the 80s we had the strictest, most hateful headmaster imaginable. He was a real old school hang em and flog em type.

But then one time Everton beat United 5-0 and at the next assembly on the Monday morning he walked to the front of the hall as usual wearing his gown and a stern expression, turned around to face a few hundred lads, and we all saw he was wearing a placard around his neck with “Everton 5 Fergie 0” on it. He never made reference to it but just proceeded to deliver the usual stern assembly to the school. It was brilliant and even though I hated him I always felt quite amenable towards Everton after that. Still do over 30 years later.

Most of the pupils at my primary school were rag fans as was the headmaster, he knew I was a City fan.
The head brought a TV into a classroom so he and other staff/pupils could watch United in an afternoon European Cup match (this is shortly after Munich). Another boy and I were excluded and sent to another room and given a sheet of arithmetic to complete.

Miracles will never cease. Dermot Gallagher on SSN's ref watch admitted the Foden incident was a nailed on penalty. He didn't blame Moss's initial decision but said VAR should have picked it up and Moss should have checked the pitchside monitor which would have shown it was a clear penalty.

There comes a time when even Dermot needs to keep a morcel of credibility.

 

[Jimmieblue]

I appreciate it’s cathartic to sound off on the biased coverage but we’ve all worked out why we are picked at and ignored. Maybe just enjoy the pain we’re causing. Perhaps the various broadcasters are saving their City coverage for end of season specials! When in all probability we win the Lge I bet North West Tonight play Blue Moon in the closing credits Whilst the presenters look on in reverential silence waving their candles.

It’s gone on for years! For whatever reasons racism, religion (don’t go there) clickbait, I can’t ever see it changing. We have to challenge it though, at ever opportunity. Just imagine if Pep had chosen United!!! That would have been excruciating, it would have seen me off. Let’s be thankful.

Peter Walton would have backed the decision.

I had that twat in mind with my comment mate.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Corruption of referees is one thing but the almost conspiratorial way Sky’s commentators immediately said it was the correct decision (re: Foden) is even more concerning because they are trying to sell us something that directly contradicts with our own eyes.

I blame all those City fans who fucked Sky off for constant, unceasing Rag and DIpper bias. They are biting the City arse with a vengeance. If yer'd stayed and paid yer king's ransom for SkySports then we'd be . . . . . . . . . . . On second thoughts, i don't think anything is gonna change the mindset of those canutes in the RDAHMeedya one jot.

Not so good as an exfoaliant

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Peter Walton would have backed the decision.

He'd have found a fictitious foul in the build up. Broadcasters must employ the likes of Walton solely on the basis of knowing what kind of foolery he's gonna come out with - black is white and sky blue is a colour with which Walton has never been enamoured.

It's the reason why the club needs to expand the City+tv coverage and content. A lot of City fans have a guilty look on Sky or even a guilty listen to TS (not me). I think we do it because we like to see good players and performances are recognised with no hidden agenda. It is clear this is never going to happen, so we need a place to go where we can blow smoke up each others arses and slap each other on the back (metaphorically speaking), like all the teams in red do, with Sky.
I have signed up to City+tv but there is very little content. Obviously, I'm not advocating a fan channel :-0, but something with a little more content. I'd be more inclined to bin other TV crap, if there was. There is so much more they could do. Reports from the group, podcasts that could be viewed, cookery programes on how to boil piss - even a human rights review of the papers! I could go on.

Think you're into something...at 14.30 Raheem Sterling's 1001 ways to boil piss would be a great watch.

Now you know why Esther Rantzen set up Childline.
Yours was 100% child abuse and the Rag bastard headmaster should be reported for it!!!!

I would have rather worked on improving my mind than watched that shower of shit tbf

 

[northendenton]

I thought Souness was great. Absolutely called it as it is - incompetence 1) for Moss not to have seen it, and 2) for VAR to back up his ineptitude - PiGMOL are making themselves look stupid. How the fuck Moss passes the refs fitness test, Lord only knows? Maybe VAR rules on that too?

He passes the refs VAR criteria Vacuous And Rotund

Yes, and a pointless poll of who is the best centre half in the league, or of all time with just city players on the list!
(Not sure if this has been done before)
And Gundy doing an ice cream making programme.

 

[manclad]

That was a great side, also one of the best I’ve seen. Players like Gary Stevens and Trevor Steven on their right flank, not great individual players, but the work ethic of those and others took the team onto a higher level. Pity how it eventually turned out with us and Howard Kendall a few years later.

Don't forget that Paul Power was a great addition to Evertons league winning squad as well.
I think he got a league winners medal for the 1987 title winning season.

Tbf the rags aren't CL contenders.

 

[Aba452]

It was interesting that been and Sly both led on ragpool's dead rubber rather than a 7 goal thriller involving the league leaders. Suspect they might just be leading on the Thursday cup tomorrow!

Sounds like a lucky escape!
