Surprised he didn’t bring up our purchase of Dennis Law for £115k at around the time of the B Babes. City ruining football and buying success for ever.
The continual look backwards into what’s becoming really ancient history is just hysterically funny, irrelevant and embarrassing. It’s all the twats have left.
What next comparison of us vs the Corinthians?

All their achievements are slowly being eroded away by City. Their biggest one in the treble must be killing them, I can see a situation where we will probably have a bigger trophy count than them in 25 years. They will be the new Preston North End, dominated English football for a bit then consigned to history.

Yes, but not specifically aimed at lineker. The BBC regularly feed numerous misleading or poorly researched news stories, at least going off what I see on youtube. Going off his ramblings, he just shouts out his lunatic views without accepting that anyone else has a right to disagree with him.

"Lunatic"?

Really? Mr White Bread has lunatic views? Mr Middle of the Road is a lunatic? Jeepers! Go for a lie down.

I'm not Going to get into a discussion about him, but he's one of the biggest reasons people are against the license fee. If you think he's wonderful, that's up to you, but I don't see why millions of struggling families and pensioners should be forced to enrich a millionaire even further.

My reason is the shit programming and those rag twats at Media City

What has he said roughly?

It went in one ear & out of the other to be honest. I think the question was whether we were stronger or weaker, one of the panel said stronger he argued weaker because Gundogan & Mahrez contributed goals. When he finished even the host said you are not a fan on City are you which was a rhetorical question but the prick felt it necessary to confirm he was not.
I’m not sure where the name Flex comes from but he should be called Swivel the amount he turns his head to the panel on either side presumably looking for agreement/acknowledgment to his comments.
 
I am sure there are English language experts on here who may correct me.
BBC transfer special at 14.32 headline.

“Arteta expects no more new signings”

Should that read
“Arteta does not expect more new signings” ?

You’re welcome.

I never watch the bbc but have no objection to you or anyone else who enjoys seeing their license fee frittered away on the likes of Lineker and numerous other leeches, paying for it. I just get annoyed that everyone else is expected to subsidise your viewing habits.

If you’ve never watched any of their output, not listened to any of their radio nor read any of their online output, then maybe follow the example of some others on here who say they don’t pay the licence fee either. I honestly think the % of people in your position must be a really small proportion of the population.

At £13 month it provides fabulous value for me in terms of enjoyment and learning, and has done for decades. In the era before the ability to easily fast forward through commercials it was great to actually just watch listen to the programme!

I see it as part of the communal or greater good of a society. Folk who never send their kids to a state school still have to pay for it through their common taxation.
I’ve never needed treatment for many many conditions that the health service provide, but I’m happy to pay for it rather than rely on Bupa etc. They aren’t directly comparisons necessarily, but I’m just trying to illustrate the point that a highly individualist system where you only pay for exactly what you directly use and nothing else, isn’t one for me.

I couldn’t care less about Lineker as an individual, and if you start getting worked up about the salary of the rich and famous, you’re on a road to nowhere, but like most on here I do think their football coverage is a shocker. In terms of that, what I can’t understand is, as it’s so obvious re their online output in particular, and that their Head of Online Sport has close MUFC links, why our club hasn’t gone with a complaint about and above him to the overall head of sport or head of all online if needed.
