[The perfect fumble]

Jordan would want the Aguero moment yellow carded.

It was.

The coverage on Amazon prime is much more intelligent. BT has been embarrassing since it started. It is shocking to listen to people like McManaman. He played at the highest level but has no awareness of the tactical side of football. Mind you he was a very one-dimensional pointer.

Mark ogden could talk a glass eye to sleep, one boring **** that is.
He makes cardboard look exciting.

Never stays long before they get someone else. Being a rabid rag only gets you so far.

Did jota not tell the Leicester fans to ' fuck off' after his winning penalty last week??

Yeah, but that's fine...

 

[Bonzo Nododo]

tbf they did criticize the Arsenal fans for doing it.

Was only Danny Murphy speaking with sense

On Talk Sport is he now?

Watching Sky football show this morning and it's not only boring to hell but it's also like a national mourning day, the latter being as funny as fuck. The wolves were hungry, owwwwwwwoooooooooo!!

Bob Mortimer is mad. Brilliant :)

Remember her on the Sunday morning press show on Sky, her and a cock of a bloke both had curly hair and collars fastened up to the top button, both Dipper Supporters talking shite, would never listen or read their articles. As for Glendnning who you mentioned, dear me, he’s fucking strange that bloke, I’d give him a wide berth, fucking weirdo.

Calm, calm, are keed.
She inspired Harry Enfield.

Spot on mate - the BT coverage of the Arsenal game was a case in point.

A bunch of witless, partisan hacks and former players grasping at the simplest interpretation of the game which has just unfolded in front of them - corrupt refereeing decisions as the sole reason for the good guys not winning the day, so let’s all boo at the big bad wolf - when there were actually some fascinating storylines to the game.

How was it Arsenal managed to disrupt City’s passing game so effectively in the first half, and how did they overcome our press so effectively to nullify our tactics and force our tired legs to do all the running when most teams struggle to do the same?

What did we tweak at the start of the second half to counter Arsenal’s game plan that frustrated them so much, prompting them into the characteristic burst of self-destructive indiscipline we knew they would be susceptible to?

How did bringing Gundogan on for Jesus improve our attacking shape in response to them going down to 10 men, allowing us to take control of the game and ultimately win it at the end?

Or if you insist on focusing on the refereeing decisions, why was the Ederson/Odegaard incident different from the Silva/Xhaka one based on the explicit rules around VAR, meaning whilst both were open to interpretation - one was referred while the other wasn’t.

Nah - fuck it. The Ref was bent and City are cheats. That’s why we won and Arsenal lost. Nothing more to see here.

That is a great post. You sir should post more often on here.

That's just fucking stupid and happens every day of every week in every ground. Fuck me, they really want something to moan about.

Didn't Mbappe run to and celebrate his goal in front of the City fans when he scored at the Etihad. I don't recall any huge amounts of outrage then.

 

[Carlos- the- jackal]

The funniest loon on the planet Robert Mortimer, just funny as fuck!

 

[train man]

Hmmm, so an image on my msn homepage linking to a mirror headline regarding a pyrotechnics incident at Telford carries a pic of... Rodri's celebration slide... wtf?

 

[zandvoort blue]

Schteve McLaren on Sky just now.

Would be a definite contender for world’s most boring human being.

I’ve had follow throughs with more charisma.

Jesus he's hard work to listen to. The pause at the end of every sentence is so annoying.
Also he's reading from notes, obviously not as knowledgeable as everyone thinks.

On Talk Sport is he now?

was a guest whilst Jordan and White talked their shite

This is a corporate way of keeping your foot on the enemy's throat. Test them waters and keep boiling their piss City. I love our football club.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

a rag loss isn't really news these days though is it?

That's why I couldn't understand why SSN reported Wolves stun Man Utd. You'd think they'd be used to it, not stunned.

Rory Smith, New York Times football journalist but Manchester-based. Supports liverpool.

He's moved out of Didsbury and now back in Yorkshire to be close to his in-laws.
Discovered this listening to the weekly pod he does with Hugh Ferris :), Wyeth and Andy Hinchcliffe. All besties.
Tend to skim through but main enjoyment nowadays is looking for his subtle (or not so subtle if you know he is at it) City digs. He does have a big engaging football brain but he's now the biggest **** in the media for me on the back of the sly shit and lies he comes out with...

Ha ha - posted about this in the FFP thread.

Panja is obsessed.
