Yes, it's just down the road from Newmarketo.

Sorry you spelt the town name wrongly, apologies for correcting your Spanish. Its Newmarcato.

Just catching up now and also noticed “it took a Norwich mistake to gift the opener to the league leaders” after sterling’s first - as if it was on a plate for him

Of course, according to the analysts city's goals always come from mistakes. It's just that the opponent's make a lot v city ...

We gave him something to cry about later.

Jonathan Pearce on MotD RE Grealish

“a shin injury caps of a controversial week for him”

if that is a direct quote with the same spellings as he has then he had better go back to school!!

"a shin injury caps OFF a controversial week for him" unless of course he is saying that he has a cap full of controversy!!

I thought he made a hash of it but looking on the sunny side it's all gone now.

It showed it on MotD with a line above and below 5th position for some strange reason.
MotD seemed to give far more coverage of the play and studio discussion of the rags than anyone else.
Clive Myrie now on the political programme. He should ask about the 'impartial" BBC's obsession with the rags at the tax payers expense.

Quite nice to see Newcastle fans are the new bad guys now. A few months ago this would have referenced us!

Can we get back to the serious business?

Let's face it, the media are desperate for Liverpool to catch us up. Every time they win, we hear "Liverpool have Man City in their sights", or "City looking nervously over their shoulder", or "Liverpool win puts them nearer to City's total", or "Liverpool haven't given up|", even if we have won as well and the points gap remains the same.

I don't seem to remember the same eagerness for City to catch the "runaway leaders" up, when we did just that with our amazing winning runs in PL title seasons.

If, or should I say "when", Liverpool beat Burnley, it'll all be about how they are getting ever nearer to overtaking us. If by some mischance they did, it would be hailed for decades to come as one of the great victories for a special team with a proud history and an indomitable spirit.

Just you watch the superlatives after today at Turf Moor.

What happened to the media investigation of the origins of the ESL?

They only pursue investigative journalism against targets that they do not like.

The American owners generate stories like this because they are scared that they will have to invest more of their club's earnings back into the team or that once comfortable CL money earning spot will disappear.
Cash cows owners at United and Liverpool versus club investment owners at City & Newcastle - but the latter are worse for football, YCNMIU.
