BBC news not even a mention this morning. Wall to wall when Liverpool won last year. Covering pet tagging as main news story. Silly Sally about to sick it up though ☺️
 
If we’re docking points for United making 10 changes playing 3 games in 6 days, we can expect enough points docked to be relegated for all the changes we make. We made a boat load of changes vs Chelsea following the PSG game.

Pep, Ole and the rest have a squad and they live and die by how they manage that squad. I hate the rags like the next blue but that’s a ridiculous suggestion. People in glass houses and all that....
 
From the Guardian. No it is not a logical position. Presumably the Guardian demands that Atletico Madrid be ostracised from football because an Iasraeli billionaire has a major stake? Where does this end?

Boycott this paper.

"And here again is the duality of City. The boundless resources, the basic weirdness of a nation state owning a football club for PR reasons: this all remains. There are those who will be unmoved by success on the pitch, and unable to look past this. It is a logical position. We are all, City fans included, being manipulated in our dear old home grounds by a state hungry for soft power. And yet because football is a spectacle that will not be degraded – not yet anyway – City have been able to do all this in a way that has been uplifting, and undeniably a work of skill and craft.
As a final thought, the current timeline has dished up the most miserable, digitised, alienating football season anyone will care to remember, or indeed see again. The world outside has been darker still. Watching the games has, for all football’s flaws, been an act of pure escapism, one that would have been hugely diminished without that cold, clear shaft of sky blue light."

He's not wrong.

Imagine if we played the EDS against a full strength Everton if an Everton win got them a Thursday night cup place instead of the dips.


I'd piss myself laughing mind. Pep could always say it was a thank you to the whole club playing that team with only Sergio starting so he got all the acclaim he deserves.

I think it shows how far out of his depth the Paperboy is.

1) Why pick your strongest line up knowing you have a fixture jam of your own making coming up against a team your 6-2 up from the 1st leg. Surely a few players could have been rested

2) Why then also pick your entire strongest team v Villa with no squad rotation. Surely again he could have rotated a few

3) Which then meant they could have played a few more regulars last night v Leicester

4) And who makes substitutions when defending a corner ? Rashford straight on lost his man

None of the media have questioned any of the above and lets be honest if we were in the same boat (well we would have been charged already) the entire media would be showing the slashed coppers face and saying we deserve it and also mention money again and say we can cope with our squad. Not one single media outlet has gone down this line with the Rags.

And lets not forget that team last night cost 24 million more than Leicesters team but predictably only Robbie Savage mentions this, nothing in the media, and did you note there was no mention of the huge cost of their bench last night, just a "deep and powerful bench"

Officials were bent as fuck especially in that 1st half again last night, clear handball for the Rags goal not flagged by Moss on Var and no replays till half time and every single faintest touch resulted in a Rag going down and free kick, and the most obvious fouls of the game, 1 in each have for Leicester were waived away inc that 2nd half one which would have been a free kick just outside the area.
 
I must have missed this stupid MNF scoring system for great teams from a year ago. Ratboy and spitty trying desperately to shoehorn the current Liverpool team into the greatest teams whilst acknowledging City but also attempting to dismiss them by fucking around with a simple points system.

The points weighting they gave to the fucking world club championship or whatever is ridiculous, nobody cares about it. Also losing in a uefa cup final is the same as winning an FA Cup? Not for me it isn't.

They scored it: UCL - 5, PREM - 4, UEFA CUP - 3, FA - 2, LEAGUE CUP -1, SUPER CUP - 1, UCL RU - 2, LEAGUE RU -1.

With the current scoring system if City do win the chumps league then we'd still be only 5th in all time great teams.

I revised the scoring:

UCL - 100, PREM - 90, UEFA CUP - 50, FA - 65, LEAGUE CUP - 37, SUPER CUP - 25, UCL RU -50, LEAGUE RU - 30

With this scoring system, if we lose in the final we are still the 5th in all time great teams. However if we win it...

City 19-21486
Liverpool 76-78485
Man U 07-09482
Liverpool 82-84481
Man U 99-01460
Forest 78-80419
Chelsea 05-07349
Arsenal 02-04340
Liverpool 19-21300
Everton 85-87260

See how fun it is to fuck with numbers to get the result you want! Thanks Sky Sports!
 
I’m actually a fan of the BBC in general. But FUCK ME.

I’ve just watched BBC Breakfast from 8am - 9.15am and there was not a solitary mention of us winning the league.

In fact, for the first time I ever remember there wasn’t even a single sports report. Zero.

It’s actually quite sad that a world class news organisation that’s supposed to be a public broadcaster has allowed itself to be infested and corrupted by people like Dan Roan.
 
Somebody here at Optus Sport in Australia is clearly not a City fan. I don’t know how to link the video but check out ‘Outrageous scenes at the Etihad as Manchester City becomes champions’ on YouTube.

I love the 'real treble' bollocks. When we won the FA Cup we're always told it doesn't mean anything. Also, Ferdinand didn't even win the treble with united. The bloke is a moron.
