I cancelled my licence years ago and have had 3 visits from the licence fee goons (capita). All you have to say is that you revoke their implied right to access and close the door.

You can’t revoke something that’s implied. It has to be tangible and express to be capable of boing revoked.

I always thought it was sung in reference to some of the Chelsea headhunters top boys either being gay or being caught with male prostitutes. The inference being that you can’t be all macho and a thug if you are ga hence why it’s homophobic.

Hadn't heard that before. May be so.

In contrast, this is how Simon reported the flare being thrown down from the away fans at the Liverpool game(he didn't) and he had to get a dig in about noise too before the end of the game.





He genuinely shouldn't be allowed access of any kind to City on the grounds that his reporting his completely imbalanced.

This is his level. Regurgitating chants and actions of fans from the stadium.

Sports reporter? Nothing but a talentless gimp.
 
We’re a week away from a derby, where United have a bit of momentum.

Shall we have a guess, at who the media will be splashing over the back pages as wanting out of City this week?

Grealish or Dias for me. Maybe Pep?

I'm sure it will Be 'are the players still with Pep', if we continue with underwhelming performances against Chelsea and Soton

I'd bet on his nothing quote as just being made up. In a no news cycle I'd suggest it is more a case of him finding something to fill a few column inches. In fact, just listened to the Panja/Harris/Ziegler pod and they were setting their stall out for the big stories in football for 2023 involving UEFA, FIFA, football regulator in England etc and Panja in his normal sarcastic tone asked Ziegler about an independent regulator and brought City and into the discussion.

Ziegler spends a lot of his time in hotel lobbies for meetings of this type searching for info and usually on the pod he talks about the meetings he attends. No mention this week that he attended this summit so just a case of re-hasing his previous shit. The article itself from the Times is pure BS full of the usual innuendo and outright factually incorrect on at least 5 counts.

Perhaps it was just a bit of a fishing expedition. But I am not a great believer in coincidences when it comes to hostile coverage of City. I wasn't suggesting Ziegler actually attended the meeting. But the Times sportsdesk has an existing channel from one of the people in that room which dates a long way back.

Well said mate.

When I first read it earlier I did think, even trying to put a neutral head on, that it seemed a piece based on nothing; even if the quote is true, and from an exec somewhere with an agenda, it doesn’t really warrant an article. There isn’t actually any news.

Samuel starts at that paper from next Wednesday, so let’s see if that informs a more balanced approach, not that I’m holding my breath though.

Which meeting are you referring to mate? I can’t see any reference to a meeting in Ziegler’s article. Do you mean the recent FA/PL/EFL meeting, and that this article came from someone who used the word ‘disgraceful’ at that?

The meeting was on Friday (yesterday). No suggestion the word disgraceful was used at the meeting itself but probably in a private comment to Ziegler afterwards from one of those present. Doesn't mean it was even on the meeting agenda and is more likely to be gossip. But it shows you what we are up against. People in authority connected to our commercial rivals have been briefing against us for the last decade. As Khaldoon said some years back: "Organised and clear."

Flogging the FA cup is what I got from that, and the fact nobody was available to comment so that fans don't get any say at all.

The rags,scousers and the arse must be licking their lips as our FA assume the position for a regal ramming for a quick buck before the game dies a quicker death.

Thanks for that.
Yeah, I had read about that meeting, it was just the connection to Ziegler’s article I wasn’t clear on … though reading Parry’s name, I shouldn’t be surprised!
 
Just watching the news on BBC and they mentioned FA cup then showed goals from some of the games,Blackpool from the championship beating premier league forest few more games and goals,strange they didn’t mention a great result for championship Burnley away to premier league Bournemouth,hmmm I wonder why wouldn’t have anything to do with a manager who used to play for City petty I know but why not mention the fantastic result for them ..

Jesus - I feel for you mate.

Listening to that miserable array of smug, venal, morally compromised wasters must have been absolute torture.

I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy!

Most references to Vinny were 'the former Belgium international', rather than the medal-ladened former Man City player

Because a very lot of people would choose not to have BBC and the organisation would implode in a very short time and they know it. The latest wheeze being discussed is that they stick the TV license fee on to your Poll Tax as an added percentage. Hey presto- it goes away and the bigger your house is the more you pay.

Poll tax ??
The spirit of Maggie Thatcher is alive and well.
