The most popular Soocer team in the USA?

The UK media will be all over this, not

Alabama got a thing for Hull City it seems. How random

It's Alaska.

Let me know what she says.

I'm so used to us scoring goals of this type and quality it went right over my head

Majority PL teams have improved over the years and learnt to not chase all over the pitch like headless chicken (Mount and Gallagher)...

What is it with the constant shite from ESPN? A TV channel that used to be sort of important, that nobody watches anymore.

That’s the cost, not their worth!

Kev =?
John =?
Nathan=?
Eddie=?
Eriling=?
Ilkay=?

None are for sale, but if they were, it would be for a hell of a lot more than those figures, apart from Ilkay who’s free in the summer!

Did they perhaps balance that with the players who started?

Ortega on a free
Foden from the academy
Palmer from the academy
Gomez for £11m
World Cup winning Alvarez for just £14m

I'd guess not...

Jamaica or did she tell you willingly?

The Guardian is a good paper but their sports section is infested by rags.

Crace and Hyde are excellent. Most of the football "journalists" are crap. Jamie Paradise couldn’t write a shopping list. Football editorial policy is questionable at best

Lewis, academy

Tarquins about to pay around 85m for Mudryk, that will put them on a net spend of 525m over the past 5 years putting them in second place just 20m behind the Rags. City are 10th on 213m but we’ll be the ones who the media say are ruining football, cunts.

Maybe that's because City's starting 11 included 3 players who cost nothing and another 3 who cost between 11 and 15 million.

 

[Gesario]

Yes it is a joke, but I am as guilty as many for not voting. The free kick from Mahrez was top class but the goal scored by Phil Foden is one of the best I have seen for a long time.

Correct

Funny you should think that as I have a small tale about the reporters covering City. A few years ago we played Juventus and the plane was due to leave after the game. For reasons I cant remember our plane had to wait to the following day. City arranged for everybody to get back to Turin and laid on a meal in a restaurant. I was sat at a long table with all the reporters, next to Simon Mullock who I had a good chat with. The others all looked as though it was an insult to them that a fan was sat amongst them and avoided all eye contact and I think if I had tried to talk to them they would have ignored me anyway. They came across as arrogant snobs, now it could just be me they didn't like, its happened before once or twice or even more than that. ;-)
But I agree with your post, with the exception of Simon Mullock, horrible people.

Simon's a top man.

But he can read

Ah! But can he do the math?

Suspect Simon Stone wouldn’t have euphemistically dismissed it a “song referencing Chelsea” if it was at The Etihad.

How did this work out now we've sung it?

BBC Sport is just a glorified extension of the Rag's PR Department.

‘Deliverance’ related I think

Did I miss hull being hugely popular in the Deep South?

How are we not the most popular team in Maine?
