Arghhhhhh, FFS, It wasnt Bambi that was shot. Why do people keep quoting this as it DIDN'T happen.
It was Bambis mum that got killed ..........
and later served with a red currant sauce, roast potatoes and broccoli stems.

OK I made the last bit up but it was bambis mum.

So you’re saying Mansour shot Bambi’s mum?

Definite sanctions coming our way if this is the case

 

[Brendan110_0]

When are we expecting the der Spiegel piece on Mansour shooting Bambi to drop? Thursday afternoon again?

Quick film that version ;P

A lot of players from that era are quite bitter because they missed out on the mega bucks contracts that even the mediocre modern era players get. Hinchcliffe and Mills are perfect examples.

We were paying Mills £35k a week when he was on loan at Hull in the Championship. Don't think he missed out on anything, don't understand his bitterness towards us

 

[Fordyboy46]

They did bring on £54m Keita

Yes but they still have 60m of the Coutinho money still to spend la

F*ck me!

The BBC Football match comments pages are full of glowing compliments about both teams, but more so about City from Liverpool fans and neutral football fans. Will post some screen grabs tomorrow.

Forget the RAWK City thread, it's a lunatic asylum. And the WhatsApp Jurno nutters group.

My faith has been restored in sensible and genuine football fans.

I'm happy.

Some of them seem almost normal and reasonably sane after reading some comments, maybe they aren’t all United level C@@ts after all.

Oh fuck off. I had it recorded, spoiler.

Simon “the expert on everything” Jordan, on TalkSPORT this morning commenting on the lack of real rivalry between City and Liverpool, stated “City fans just aren’t engaged”.

Does he mean bricking and bottling an opponent's coach ? Throwing flares on the pitch ? Launching rockets at the town hall ?

 

[ClaudioDeyna]

Does Gordon and Mohammed who rang 606 last night post on here?

Gordon had Chris Sutton on toast and Mohammed, well what can I say, he was bloody amazing, he just reeled off all these facts and stats and was quite funny with it as well, I was pissing myself laughing at him.

Bravo to the pair of you.

If you don't mind, how far in on the replay?

Slutton's voice grates my teeth, Savage is all teeth.

Thanks for that; I normally listen to at least parts of that podcast too, but in this case I’ll give it a swerve.

I actually think James Richardsons “Goalazzo” style coverage of Serie A in the early 90s set a bit of a precedent for the shite we have now. It was fine when you have a passing interest but when it’s the serious stuff of our League then it just doesn’t fit.

Interesting take that, which I hadn’t considered; you may well be right. Some of his guest journalists are decent (and many aren’t), but he doesn’t quite plumb the depths of the Guardian football podcast which I sacked off many moons ago.
What he does have going above podcasts like the Athletic ones, is that they timestamp the content, so most weeks, if I want to avoid a 20 min scouse love in, I can.

I think Gordon is possibly around the 30 minute mark and Mohammed is about 1hr 33.

 

[Beswick Prize Band]

Once again Clive does it on Mastermind for us,bit much to be mentioning us again,so he did the next best thing and asked a question about the Dark Side losing in the Thursday night cup.
Well done Clive, I'm sure it can't be just me that notices.

 

[blue aura]

I gave rag Ogden a bit of a mouthful on the train back to Euston yesterday. To his credit he said he was surprised it was the only abuse he'd received on the journey back.

Over the years I’ve learnt the sensible thing is to stick to the City Pods

The number of City fans who didn't understood the word "holistic" when it was used by the club in 2013 is quite something.

I understood part of it.

It’s a pretty wanky word, though. Very David Brent-ish, ironically enough given you were relying to @Eric Hitchmough !

Spot-on. We have ended up with a situation where people in a remote building are searching for reasons to rule out goals. The previous system gave the benefit of the doubt to attacking players if they looked level and it was more about the position of the feet than any other part of the body. It has to change and take account of the margin of error. Perhaps we should just say you can't give offsides if it is less than 13cms. The system is working against the spirit of the game and the fans are being cheated.

Just the daylight rule, then they can forensically use VAR as the attacker has already had the benefit.

 

[hammocity]

Diaz was reported at 37m which was a snip.

He’s proved nothing yet, he could turn out to be a bargain but we’ve seen players before showing promise who become utter shit, just look over the road at “Bruno”.
