I'm not really bothered about "a good look".
He told a lie, and has admitted he did. Why do that?

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Yea but the 'police' ( lol ) police ! Could have taken the photos down the the local job centre to identify them

There's never anyone there - that would imply they were looking for work!!!

Just looked up the muen. Decent article on why it was a penalty by Brennan.

Bajkowsty's match ratings are from a parallel universe! Best players Foden and KdB get 8 each! Clear and systematic!
Guess there's a reason the muen isn't saved to my homepage and why they have to give it away free!

How are they still so clueless about their own history? Surely it’s been pointed out to them numerous times over the years? How thick and deluded are they?

Without a sugar Daddy, Newton Heath would have gone bust in the early 1900s and there would be no Manchester United and no Old Trafford. Without a sugar Daddy, United would have gone bust in the 1930s and there would be no Manchester United. Without a sugar Daddy, United wouldn’t have been able to build the most expensive football team ever assembled at the time in the late-80s/early-90s despite going a quarter of a century without winning the league (or much at all) and their greatest era would never have happened.

All football clubs who’ve had success start out with a sugar Daddy pumping money into them to kick start a period of success. Every one. It’s happened to everyone with success ever in the history and the future of the sport. Every one. Without exception.

But, but, but that's NOT the narrative.

I do love to remind UTD fans I know that they have previously spent record sums assembling previous teams.

I also love to remind Scousers about the Pools money they spent when no-one else could.

Ahhh, sorry football only started in the 90s

I’d say 8/10 was about right tbh, would you give them 10’s ?

I’d say they were at least a 9 (fwiw!)

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

i see Phil Foden's posts to Mbappe are in the media

Phil hardly had a kick first half and this is a media outlet not a supporter we’re talking about, not saying they don’t print some crap but this isn’t something I’d lose sleep over.

Ok I guess, what with the media at it is now, making stories out of social media posts, but Foden’s posts weren’t really controversial (were they?)

Likewise mate, hence my “fwiw!” - ie it’s not worth very much.
Sleep well ;-)

The average age of a combat soldier in World War Two was 26 , in Vietnam it was nnnnnnnnnn nineteen nnnnnnnnnnnn nineteen .... Jude Bellingham was only 17

Fair enough, cheers, hadn’t seen that.

yeah only just popped up on my radar tbh, even with it being from last night

 

[paulchapo]

I'm not saying journalists are slow but where has he been hiding to only just notice this, lol?

What rating did they give Bellingham for reference ?

 

[Mikejl]

What rating did they give Bellingham for reference ?

11/10

 

[Return of the Mac]

11/10

About right then. :)

It's not total bullshit though:

Man United player ratings vs Granada: Victor Lindelof great and De Gea solid

The Man Utd player ratings after a 2-0 win over Granada in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final fixture on Thursday night.

Now I know why I never go on there for anything....I dropped football with them quite so time ago, my phone became a handheld advert trying to get into that link.

 

[stonerblue]

Not only that because he goes against all other reporters who frankly do not treat City with either the truth or respect.
I'm sure his hands are tied tegards saying what he could job wise but total respect is deserved for him.

I'll third that. Not read much of SB lately (MEN website is awful to navigate) but he's been the best newspaper reporter on City for years now.
