Now I am sure that we won 2-1 last night didn't we? ...The reason I ask is because I have just gone onto the BBC website where they report on the papers. To win 2-1 we had to have scored 2 goals, sometimes by 2 people and sometimes just by one person. Last night it was 2 people but for some reason the press in all its wisdom (?) appears to think we scored only by a certain Mr Haaland. Now his goal was good and I realise that this post will only reinforce the impression that I have a favourite player. But I am certain (said in a squeaky voice) that a Mr Stones also scored a goal.
Am I correct?
Apologies if I offend anyone with this blatant cry on behalf of JB. :-)

Is that the same BBC who had 'Potter starts with win at Chelsea' (or similar) on their text headline....?

Clearly, how many touches Erling has, is the new stick to beat us with for the foreseeable future, in many ways it highlights their own lack of knowledge, because I bet if you asked any decent manager if they’d be happy having a striker who doesn’t contribute too much to a game (I think he does) but he’ll bag you goals, then they’d look at you like you were mad.
He’s a bit like ‘The Goat’ in many ways, one of those players who are in the right place at the right time and know where the net is, and that is absolutely priceless.

This is now a regular weekly thing with him , at HT they were highlighting that Erling had the least touches out of everyone , In my 50 years of watching football I have never ever seen the media highlight how many touches the likes of shearer , lineker , Henry ect had , this would NEVER be mentioned if he was playing for the rags or scousers
 
Simon Jordan is becoming more like mr yellow tie soundbite beside him everyday. They were discussing the latest nonsense spouted from the la liga slug. Anyway, of course they agree with him on “state” ownership. Normally, the twits dissect the info and look at it from all angles. Who gains by him saying this ? etc etc. Well to my surprise they did not debate any of his remarks. Only to agree that City got away with it? What ever that is! And he agrees that psg/city are bad for football! He even threw in Souness apparent remarks to back it up. Souness was not in the studio so I can’t comment on his remarks.


The agenda is alive. Jordan must think everyone is a moron. Tho maybe that is the supporter base that crap show aims for. It really is like Jeremy Kyle sports broadcasts. Embarrassing we allow freedom of speech to be abused in this way.

Oh and he had a go at Grealish not being a 100m pound player. So I now know where most people who overly criticise the player are getting their information from. Simon says…they agree.

The reason people talk about how few touches he has is it emphasise how clinical he is, not to do him or us down.

The only time Gerd Muller touched the ball was to put it into the net and almost all his goals were scored from inside the 6 yard box. I guess that made him shit according the the rag/dipper media of today.

Then again he only scored 449 goals in 484 German league games and 68 goals in 62 international games for Germany.

We pick up more cards, conceed more fouls than the opposition despite having 70% of the ball in lots of games due to the way we are often officiated. Any touch on a opposition player is a foul, same ref plays anything allowed on challenges on our players.

80-90% of the cards we get are fully justified I think. The opposition do seem to get away with a number of second yellows though which I am not sure we would avoid.
