Ian Darke is an absolute shithouse when it comes to us. BT have changed their tune sharpish. Never forget just how blatantly they were anti City in the past. It was off the scale.

Snake Humphrey going on about a blue who was yawning at the end of the game. Apparently you're not allowed to be tired, even though he may have spent the last 24 hours without sleep.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Said to my lad last night, Haaland’s athleticism and “Stretch Armstrong ability” got him that goal last night, was anything but a “tap in”.

Just imagine him upfront with John Cleese.

 

[freshie]

Darke is just doing what he need to do for the money.

Remember his £100 Grealish passes to £45m Mahrez and onto £50m Kev etc? He was called out on twitter by a load of us and tried to say he did that with every club....he was battered by us and he's not done it since.

Savage was pretty good last night but like them all they've been wankers for so long I don't need to hear them blowing justified smoke....just give me a crowd noise option (with megaphone & drums removed).

As soon as the game started Savage made a point about our excellent transfer business this summer and that we have made a profit and I think that put an end to any snide comments by Darke about how much our players cost

I had talksport on earlier for a while and Danny “kick em Murphy, Jordan” big word twat” and Jim “yellow tie” started comparing Haaland to Mbappe. Both players obviously very good but the reason they all chose Mbappe over Haaland surprise surprise was because city create load of chances and he is Only a goal scorer lol.

The shit they come out with sometimes is staggering. They use the same formula for when city win a trophy…but but but they didn’t do the treble etc etc

The real reason they picked Mpabbe is because Haaland plays for City. Also, they have now said it is really really unfair to compare Darwin with Erling lol. Damn right and it was stupid to begin with but all because the former scored in the community shield and hasn’t seen Haaland for dust since. They only want to compare when Darwin is scoring and Haaland is not.

Lot of tosh.

I find Jordan never adds anything positive to the argument, he waits for someone else to speak and then patronisingly pulls it apart with false logic.

Has Owen Hargreaves started cutting his own hair?

Yes, he does it at night without the light on.

It is his one skill in life
Other than bankrupting his business

That and a coming together of a seville player and Rodri where Darke called it a blatant foul and Lily said it wasn't.
Put Darke on the back foot there after with any challenges

The RDAHMeedya are not going to describe any Erling goal other than a 'tap in'! They must have got the idea from that 'tap in' by Vinnie v Leicester, or the string of 'tap ins' that Sergio accumulated. I'm pretty certain that every time he got a hat trick it was a string of tap ins.

 

[eyalluvitt]

Eight o’clock sport headline on BBC isn’t Chelsea’s shock defeat, nor our fine away win, it’s Celtic’s loss to Madrid. When do they ever make the headlines. Wonder if Rangers are top story tomorrow regardless of what Spuds or the wall pushers do.

A club that hate everything British getting top billing on the BBC, for getting a good pumping by Madrid B at their sectarian cess pit

Celebrated like he'd scored the winner of a world Cup final that day as well the tool

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Been very few threads where there isn't at least ONE tweet in support. There are literally NONE among HUNDREDS of comments. It's been a long time since I've seen someone so thoroughly slapped around. How delightful.

What have I missed!?!

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Watched a bit of the celtic game build up before I watch City, and fuck me they played the whole ynwa shite. Wtf is it with that anthem that broadcasters cream themselves over, truly embarrassing

'iiiiiiiiiiiiiiistory...............

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Danny Murphy on Talksport knowing his onions about Napoli...sounded completely shocked they were 2nd in Serie A after rubbishing them for 90 seconds.

To be fair to him, it must be a tough gig being the Dark Lord and trying to provide informed football comment.............

Factual (I’m not very good at those) comparison:

Since and including Community shield, competitive matches:
Haaland P8 G12 A1, goal per 54min on field
Nunez P4 G2 A1, goal per 104min on field

It’s not much of a comparison.

The Haaland narrative has moved on from "he will struggle in the Premier League" to "he's not as good as Mbappe." And so it goes on and on every day. These bastards can always find a negative story about the sport we all love. They were all bragging about their free trip to Qatar for the world cup. I wonder if Jordan will be checking any issues with the slave workers who built their luxury hotel. Fucking hypocrites.

Yeh I remember that, Darke couldn't wait to stick the knife in, the prick. And to think someone on here said he's a decent commentator

 

[waspish]

A game been postponed because of the rail strike! Brighton v palace

So every rail strike games can be postponed!

 

[Blueknows]

They've included the pre-season friendly at Leicester.

Lol so why doesn't every other media outlet and commentary team ?
