Wilson seems to have betrayed his North East roots. He now earns a living writing articles which mock and vilify working class football fans. The world looks different when you are one of the so-called London chattering class elite. He has made no attempt at all to understand what has happened commercially at Manchester City. His latest hate-filled article is just a cut and paste job wth a few snide comments thrown in. He should be ashamed of himself.

That's it mate, they have no shame with what they write, just after clicks and likes regardless of the content.

I think back then a lot of Jockeys had a problem, maybe still a lot of them do, it must be hard starving yourself on a daily basis to ride those low weights.

I do remember the furore about Dancing Brave's Derby run, GS held him up, I believe there were doubts about him staying possibly? So dropped him out to help him see out the trip but he was absolutely eating the ground up at the end, I don't think Starkey really recovered from that 'error'



It has to be said it takes some doing to win a Guineas and an Arc in the same season.

You’re right, it’s the BHA now, I worked for three companies for nigh on 30 years in the Racing Industry and I’ve just had to Google to check the BHB is no more. I don’t follow racing as as much as I used to do, read the Sporting Life and Chronicle everyday (subsequently RP) even down to the Breeding section of the Life, been to loads of Racecourse’s and met quite a few famous people in the industry. Now, it’s down to just the odd bet on a Saturday, never more than a tenner, had a decent day yesterday but cashing out on the football cost me £20.

Same here mate, I’ll only have a proper bet on a Saturday, on the better racing or on the bigger meetings. It’s another sport where saturation has lowered the quality.

I just find it strange, the difference in attitude to investment in both sports. It’s welcomed in horse racing but shunned in football (depending on where it’s coming from and who gets it). Possibly something to do with the respective fan bases and attitude to ownership, horse racing being ‘the sport of kings’ as opposed to a ‘working man’s’ game. Maybe the media think football fans are easier to hoodwink. They’re probably not wrong.

Haunted him for years. Obviously knew how good the horse was gave him too much to do. I think he got the highest BHB rating of a horse not to win the derby after that, something like 127.great horse.

It's so weird to be specific about Newcastle's ownership for sarcastic reasons, while also getting City's ownership completely wrong.

Do these snides have a special entrance to get in the ground when covering our games or do they go in via the CB with all the suits etc?

Because whilst they can write whatever shite they like - they should not expect to rock up to ours without being called to account for it.

They have only themselves to blame if they are on the end of physical abuse,yet if it does happen they all jump on the bandwagon and cry,without wondering why it has happened you know what fuck them ..

Presumably they have had a legal letter from Newcastle warning them to get it right. Interesting that Wilson feels comfortable repeating a totally false claim that City is "owned by a foreign state." He knows full well this is not true because we have been independently audited dozens of times in the past decade, investigated by lawyers from UEFA, scrutinised under due diligence by all our sponsors and investors, and been comprehensively cleared of any improper links with the ABU Dhabi state by a panel of CAS judges. Not even UEFA have accused City of being "owned by a state." In fact, apart from a very small cabal of journalists (probably a minority in the media) no one has accused us of this.
Yet Wilson is happy to write this and the Guardian is happy to publlish these slanderous claims without any supporting evidence. It tells you all you need to know about Wilson's character.
 
Watching on Bein sports and it’s just has bad has BT sly. So one sided commentary for Newcastle it beggars belief. It’s definitely ABC.
