Both of these things need to be legislated against.

Scarves and rattles, I agree.

Have we not got a few loanees in Spain, perhaps we'll get up dates on how they are doing.
I know, I know .......

… or perhaps a piece on the only other unbeaten side in La Liga after the big 2… oh what’s their name, begins with G… Granada, no… oh and I think they are part of an elite sporting group, with many players on loan/bought from the PL’s most successful club of recent times…

I wonder why that hasn’t featured as an additional piece by SS, he usually finds the time to churn out umpteen semi united related stories on his jollies, so if he wants to rebuild his (very small) reputation of being an accurate, factual and insightful journalist, he should maybe look for stories on clubs managed well, and punching well above their perceived expectations…

As the 10th Premier League club falls into American ownership, the focus on City and Newcastle plays blindly into the hands of hedge funds, leveraged buyouts and corporate America.

A Trogan horse is being driven into the very heart of English football, in plain sight. The days of drafts, franchises and World Series will soon be upon us, of that I'm sure. The meritocracy will disappear and our great game will disappear into its own arse.

Think about this for a while. If Leeds, Ipswich and Birmingham get promoted and no American owned clubs are relegated, THIRTEEN Premier League clubs will then be American owned. Leaving only one more club to fall and hey presto, the 14 club threshold is achieved. A sprinkling of USA stardust has recently arrived in Birmingham. Coincidence? Maybe. Part of a concerted effort to get another American owned club into the Prem? You decide, but never underestimate the hidden tentacles of Wall Street.

In my opinion that 14th club has already been earmarkedand as the final piece of the jigsaw, in place, good to go. Already hyped to fuck in the USA, friend of the NFL, multiuse/multisport stadium in the most romantised all-Americanised capital city in the world. NYC brothers from across the pond. The Hotspurs of Tottingham have been flashing their knickers at corporate America for years.

Once Spuds is bought, game over.

Meanwhile, the gutter press will still be salivating about our 115 charges, still placing an asterix against our achievements, still waxing lyrical about the red-shirts, whilst the game is stolen from under our very feet.

Look forward to a cook-out and pretzels at Mary D's in the not too distant future.

Hell yeah..

Excellent post I've been banging on about this yes to Rag and Dipper match going mates.....some get it but don't want to know the truth others are thick as mince . love the Trojan horse analogy will use this.
Basically your bang on I wonder which of today's US owned media will break the news

 

[The blue phantom]

Winter is One of the biggest shitstains in the media, I'll never forget this tweet he did while fawning over his beloved Cult. On what fuckin planet should these fuckers be praised for off field. Last thing this club has is Principals.

 

[waspish]

He was already in Madrid covering Greenwoods debut for Getafe eailer on in the day

Bbc paying him to go there while the head of sport is getting pain for by the scum for continual propaganda in favour of his team and negative or just not reporting positive stuff about Us! The red scum are running the bbc sport department!

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

Cuntis On Talkshite:

"Can City hit the rails? Looks like only UEFA can stop them."

Winter:
"City have 115 charges and great lawyers. If they were more co-operative we might be revering them for all they've achieved."

The UK sports media in a nutshell. They've decided we're cheats and won't get any credit for our achievements.

More co-operative? We refused to co-operate with UEFA's kangaroo court after numerous leaks prior to the official announcement. What does Winter think we should have done, roll over and have our bellies tickled? I thought he was a better journalist than that.

The shit will surely hit the fan when they find out CFG also own Troyes

They aren't interested in what is right for City or the truth, they are only interested in what is right for the listening or reading figures. They call themselves journalists, but the reality is now they are nothing but shit stirring wums serving the needs of rags, dippers and arsenal fans.

 

[the blue panther]

We have 4 players in Fatboy Crooks team of the week - Ederson, Walker, Rodri and Doku, but in his Doku praise, his first sentence is as follows:-

Jeremy Doku (Manchester City): How interesting that, having dispensed with the services of Raheem Sterling at 27 and more recently Riyad Mahrez at 32, City manager Pep Guardiola sold both players for a combined sum more than the price of Doku.

What the fuck is he talking about? Any offers?
We sold Sterling over a season ago; what possible relevance to Doku?

I know the guy's a prick but I just don't get what he's trying to say.

FFS forgot about that headline lol

Ederson had a great game but I thought his opposite number was even better for West Ham at the weekend.

 

[the blue panther]

I agree.

 

[Donmcfc]

Scarves and rattles, I agree.

What happened to silk scarves? I used to love mine back in the late sixties.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Agreed and without that performance from Ariola, West Ham would have shipped another 3 or 4 imo.

 

[invisibleandalone]

Actually chained to his bed in a cell would be safer !

Don't mention the word "Bed" Thats his trigger for beating up woman

 

[BringBackSwales]

The question has to be why was he there? An irrelevant reporter, an irrelevant game and a horrible and irrelevant player

Someone really should put in a Freedom of Information request asking how much it's cost BBC licence payers to send Stone to cover united or their players in meaningless games.

Does Crooks the Nook know anything about football really? He played it yes but he’s not got the brain to analyse it. (IMHO)
I mean he probably thinks John Stones is the football ‘pundit’ not the best player anywhere in the world! :-)

I call them Sensationalists as they try to big up everything e.g. massive drop i.e. less than 5%, City well beaten i.e. 2-1 same shots on target etc, City panicking about the 115 charges i.e. maybe concerned etc etc and transfer rumours e.g. McT from Utd to Bayern!

I loved my junior blues 'silk' scarf.
