Imagine copping off with her, only to find out during the conversation she’s a diehard and blinkered Liverpool fan who hates City.

If the convo was ‘after the event’, I think there’s a few on here that wouldn’t mind pal …

I don’t really get this argument. How has it pissed on their parade big time? Their profits are up in the last ten years. So, how has the golden flow of £££ been interrupted? Seems like it’s still in full flow to me.

I can only assume that it's all about the profit they WANT rather than the profit they've GOT. If the shareholders were happy with "just" getting their yearly millions in profit, I'd agree with you, but I think they can probably see projected BILLIONS in profit if certain teams are successful, and that's possibly what they want. That's how greed works, right?

All just an assumption, as I openly admit that I know absolutely fuck all about that side of things.

You might be right, but that isn’t what people repeatedly say on here. They say we’ve undermined/damaged/worsened their business model, when the facts simply don’t support that.

I would have thought the success of clubs who aren’t Man United has made the premier league more competitive and lucrative. It’s a league full of stories and narratives (including us) and there are dozens of big games per season, not just a handful.

If united’s dominance had continued it’s difficult to imagine the PL, and by extension Sky, having such an attractive product.

Anyone else got Sky Sports on? The FA Cup final doesn’t usually get this level of coverage, let alone the last five league cup finals.

Wonder what’s different this year?

"I know!" "I know!" * he says raising his hand enthusiastically.

It's because Newcastle United are in the final and their prestigious owners could win their first piece of silverware.

...... or have I misinterpreted the media? ;-)

Has any other team had a yellow card for the third player to rush up to the referee and ask a question, or is it only City that rule applies to?
Seen lots of ref crowding since but no action, and City’s rush was more of a trot and a polite enquiry anyway.

Fined for it too. I've been specifically keeping an eye out for it since and I'm yet to see a single game without it happening on at least one occasion.

HI Jimmy maybe able to help. I have a Roberts Record R radio which you can delay on both dab and fm.
don't think they make them anymore however eBay is your friend and I just had a quick look ( type in Roberts Radio with pause and there's loads of different models on there just,make sure you go for one with both dab and fm if you decide to buy. Mine is approx 47 item in white you put in a sd card press the pause button to sync it with tv, usually 10 seconds on satellite ( I have a motorised dish so no sly) looks like you'll pay just under £50.00 with delivery. Your welcome to pm me if any questions.

Or the early booking for Ederson for time wasting

I presumed at the time it was a new directive that PGMOL had implemented. Apparently not eh?

It’s long been a directive that refs don’t act upon and it’s fucking infuriating - for once this was a correct decision

How the hell did we beat Bournemouth today ?... just watched Match of the Day and anyone who hadnt seen the game live would think from the highlights they hammered us , must have shown every Bournemouth half chance and spell of posession they had in our half , very misleading..

Come on even the Bournemouth manager said they battered us
