Great coverage of the game on the Fail online site, if you scroll twenty stories down. The bitter bastards can't hide their pain

 

[Mike Cledford]

BBC news with our old badge on the screen. Twats.

I missed that. Whereabouts in the programme was that? I suppose that's what happens when all the staff are rags.
Plenty of coverage though

They treated Chelsea the same?
Pathetic in the true sense of the word.

Did they put a typical anti City slant on the 22 years ago narrative City put in their video(and Granada tonight did a good piece btw)?

BBC: "22 years ago today this lot were nobodies, 10bn pounds later..."

It was as they introduced the report from Porto. It wasn’t the eagle badge it was the original round one.

5 live preview on now, since 7pm. Yet again, everything framed through a lens of ‘what Chelsea need to do, might be able to do’ to win, to beat City.
Why can’t they ever ask, ‘what do City need to do to win?’
The nearest they ever get is a passé ‘oh, play their best game and they’ll win’. Shite level analysis.

I did smirk as the SSN reporter earlier sounded pissed off whilst discussing Ederson scoring 10 out of 11 penalties during training today.

Both Granada and BBC Nw were very good tonight with the build up. Nice to see Dickov and Jim Whitley. Big Joe Corrigan looks a sturdy chap but Booky looked frail. Joe Royle looked old too. All spoke warmly of our continued success.

Slightly bizarre interview with neighbours Dennis Tueart and Johnny Marr who really looks like a pensioner dressed as a teenager! What do I know of fashion!

Annabel Tiffin seemed extra happy discussing us. A definite good omen;)

Weirdly both channels did live links from that well known City stronghold..... Altrincham??? Always thought it was Rags Central personally.

Saw a few Blues as I was getting my 2nd jab in Denton today.

Anyone see natalie pirks on 6 o clock news really trying to push the scuffle angle from last night. Barrel scraping and very disingenuous to the majority of City and Chelsea fans there.

Sod em. Let's bring the big one back!

Cheers tbh l might have missed that myself, wondering which City fans they might 'select' or if l knew anybody.
That badge is on my match shirt for tomorrow. My Bell shirt l call it.

You mentioned things l had seen just over an hour before and had forgotten already!
Agree 100% on it all especially Miss Pirks ill-intentioned efforts.

Hahaha Neil Custis and air travel really don’t mix

 

[domalino]

Good news for those who don't like Lineker. Bad news is he will probably be replaced by someone worse.

Seems like a good reason to leave, though I suspect he will be back for the next season.

 

[its grim up north]

It was an important United goal so rules don’t really apply, same v Fulham . Such a great goal from so far out being 10 yards offside doesn’t come into it.

Was it Mickey Terrapin who scored an offside goal which was disallowed but still won Goal of the Month on MOTD?

There was one cup final in which Cantona scored. The commentator said it should have been ruled out but the ref was right.in allowing it as it was was a good shot.

Michael Owen and Owen Hargreaves (and SWP of course) all tipping City on the bt sport preview show.
C’mon lads!!

Someone from WNRH would easily step up. :-)

and Alastair Mann would be a nice change/upgrade from Ian Darke

 

[its grim up north]

He won’t have anything to do with it, it’ll be his accountant doing his job, no doubt it’s the same for all our players.

He’ll pay interest on the directors loan though and he’ll still have to pay and pay he’ll pay tax on that too when it’s repaid so not really sure where the benefit is? Any accountants on here will know!

That sounds simple. One question though. Why do it then?

 

[nmc]

ITV news @ 10 - couldn’t help themselves.... a bilion spent! How much have Chelsea spent? Did they say how much United had spent the other night? Of course not.

 

[bikerblue]

Well against my better judgement I just spent 10 mins listening to talkshite and them two pricks.My expectations were fully met,call after call of either dippers or scum saying how they wanted us to be battered,all the money we spent ,blah blah blah,come on Blues show these twats what's what tomoz and shut the fuckers up.

 

[Spanishbob]

Sat here in rainy spain surrounded by rags dippers and arse fans (no chelski) but a lot of my Spanish friends want us to win big time. They have watched city with me in the bar and are at awe the way we play and all love the skinfade gasgoine. We will win Saturday I’ve no doubts and when we do i will craft a new cup mosaic out of tiles.

reminder to ones self I will feel a right tit if we don’t and deserve to be called a rag twat. :-)
