“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out,​

Because I was not a Socialist.​

​

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out,​

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.​

​

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out,​

Because I was not a Jew.​

​

Then they came for me,​

and there was no one left to speak for me.”​

― Martin Niemöller

Great quotation. It seems to be a path we are travelling down. From what I can gather he was a nazi who saw the error of his ways. Might be wrong. Perhaps a scholar of German history can clarify

Kyle has never pulled out ask any brass in Manchester!!!

What’s Colin from Portsmouth up to tomorrow eve?

It will be interesting if the commentators fuck it off as well.

Jesus things must be bad if even Alex Scott has turned it down. That woman would present two bald men fighting over a comb if she was asked...

What channel is that on?

 

[Eccles Blue]

He is a lefty. Sad really.

SHE is a middling person. :-)

I think most are direct BBC employees so will find it harder to do so

Get Vincent Kompany to do it. He'll hopefully be City manager in the next five years and probably has to watch hundreds of hours of highlights for talent spotting purposes. He lives in Manchester where its filmed and he may as well get paid while he's watching/working anyway. Motd could do with a facelift. Get some new young blood in. Vincent has just done a cracking interview on the BBC iplayer.

loving his family - they are like that in Pompey

Plus they’re not multi-millionaires like the ex-footballers.

 

[Eccles Blue]

it's a nice quote but I don't think we are quite getting ready for Kristallpalacenacht just yet, are we?

Maybe not quite yet but I just thought of it and being me I posted it. :-)

If proof was needed what side is the right side to take on this then this amoeba can help you decide.



Anything this prick is against must be the right course of action

I fucking hate Simon Jordan.

 

[Eccles Blue]

That’s not quite true. We broke his heart as a child when we beat Leicester in the FA Cup Final in 1969. He was bitter about it for years.

To be fair to him, he did seem to get over it eventually and he doesn’t have an agenda against the modern day City.

That made me smile. :-)

 

[MrCheeseGrater]

I fucking hate Simon Jordan.

I fucking hate anything that comes out of talkshite. He's the perfect poster boy for them

 

[BerkshireBlue]

Surely it's time for the BBC to go punditless and just extend the match highlights by 10 minutes for each match.
Saves them an absolute fortune

Given Vinny’s background he’d be the last person in the world likely to undermine Lineker’s take on the treatment of refugees
