That's a really good piece.

Never understand why anyone would still employ this chap, he's not very bright and he beat up his girlfriend. Why would you give him a job?

Don’t forget Leicester with Vinny, that was pivotal.

A friend of mine who supports Leicester told me after that that while he never wants Leicester to win, to lose to a goal like that scored by someone as impressive as Kompany was something he could accept.

Ferran Soriano: "We are not a ‘state club’, we are a club owned by three shareholders that look for profit."

We don’t have more money/resources than the others. You only have to look at
@Rags’s spending these last few years and you’ll see they’ve spent more money."

Funny enough, none of these quotes appear in the broadsheets. Also said pep for life :-)

Might be time to stage a coup now we know Mansour is only in it for the money!

A scrote called Eamonn Sweeney appears to have written a nasty piece in the Irish Indo along these lines. It is behind a pay wall so needless to say I am not paying to read the details.

The elephant in the room which he has conveniently left out, is that the investigation which started in 2019 went to the highest sports court in the land and was dismissed. How the fuck does he get paid for this shite?

 

[Dave El Magico]

He's a complete nobody, I don't understand why you even click on his hate filled bile. He clearly has issues beyond football. Best ignored.

I never waste my time reading or listening to any of his articles. He is nothing more than a totally obsessed moron.

Every sentence Stan asks his carer to type for him should have an asterisk after it.

Don't ask about his other sentences though, what with him being a woman beater and all that.

Collymore should have an asterisk after his name as a no mark woman beater Pep's never heard of.

That's a great article and not the kind of thing I expect to be reading in the RDAHMeedya. I do take exception, though, with the idea that Kev's dislocated eye socket was the result of a 'collision'. I regard it as a deliberate attempt by Herr Crudiger to put Kev out of the game!

Oh yes, the ex Aston Villa player. I think he comes out with deluded thoughts and gets somebody to make up an article for him. Oh by the way, is this the same man who allegedly assaulted a female?

Supporting City has really brought home to me how out of step the MSM is with the man in the street
It's made me realise how agenda driven the MSM is and I'm not just talking about the coverage of City, if they have an agenda they will drive it home no matter what
In conclusion you can't trust a thing the written or spoken media put out, period

Since Sunday I have spoken to a few people(non City fans) who have said that they were really pleased City won the league. This wasn't because of any great love for City (though one did say he thinks we are fantastic as a neutral to watch) It was more a case of being fed up of the non stop, disproportionate, biased media love in/propoganda for Liverpool.

BBC alright today. Very unnerving.

I mentioned yesterday, I'm sure Dan Roan and Simon Stone must be on an early holiday together.

The club really need to do something about that statement, don’t they ?

Anyone with half a brain knows the facts of the matter regarding the Bennell case and the process followed through the legal system by the insurers defending the case.

This 'journalist' accusing City of 'gaslighting' Bennell's victims is aiming an appalling slur at our club. He should be asked who it is he's doing the 'gaslighting' for..

I daresay City will look at recent comments like this and take action if it's necessary, in its own time. Suggestions like this 'gaslighting of victims of paedophilia' should not be allowed to develop traction amongst the wider public opinion. Those who are behind such attempts to sully our club in such ways should be brought to book for their own actions.

To borrow from The Smiths, 'Heavy words, so lightly thrown..' Everything has a consequence.. and 'journalists' (hah!) should realise this more than most (double, nay, triple hah!)..

Yep, how the media don’t realise this is astonishing, they’re a propaganda department for the Scousers.

What absolutely proves it is that the dippers I know moan like fuck about absolutely everything that affects them negatively. Any refereeing decision is due to us buying the refs, any time we win we’re buying the league, every fixture change is a stitch up, we paid off the judges at CAS etc. etc.

But what none of them moan at is the media, not a single peep on the media being against Liverpool. The fact the insufferable tossers moan about all and everything they can, the fact they don’t about the media says to me the media represent what they want them to.

He played for Liverpool is the only reason the **** isn’t pissed up in a ditch so where.

Sexual fucking deviant he is!
