Fella needs a lemsip and a lie down.

He really has a bug , spreading through the team , hopefully not

God Pep must find these boring. I gave up watching .

What i find amusing regarding the media is continued comparison between ourselves and the Dippers and the "two best teams in the world" , which really is not possible.There is only one "best" team in the world and that team is Manchester City.
Discounting the mickey mouse competitions , Community Shields ,Supercup , World club cup , Pep has won FOURTEEN trophies , Klippety has won FOUR , so how does that make the Dippers our equal ?
Quite sure Bayern, Barca ,Real ,Juventus have won more than four trophies in the last few years and can be considered more our equals worldwide than the deluded Dippers.
Two best teams in the world ? But only if second place is the new first, Dipper weirdo's.

It’s like watching a 5 year old asking Red Adair if you should throw water on a chip pan fire. It’s painful viewing. I can’t watch either.

It’s like watching a 5 year old asking Red Adair if you should throw water on a chip fan fire. It’s painful viewing. I can’t watch either.

Think you might need to explain who Red Adair is to our younger fans ;)

Is that Layman's piece?

An achievement that is now forever tainted with an asterisk.

It's the inane questions he gets from the usual suspects. You hear him take a sharp intake of breath everytime he gets a stupid question.

menhir people have said that

An example of inane questions, and answers, from Roy Hodsgon in response to Gary from Sky today…

“….that must be boring as well, so unfortunately it’s one of those load cleft stick questions I don't really know how to answer. More and more I'm finding I don't know how to answer your questions”.

About 5mins in…

It was a similar 'Asterix thing' that broke the political relationship between Julius Caesar and Pompey the Great.

Caesar took umbrage when Pompey claimed that his success in the Mithridatian Wars was greater than that of Caesar's in the Gallic Wars.

Caesar countered, claiming his triumph was much the greater than Pompey's as 'away Gauls count double in Europe*'

(*not since 2021, though.. I'll get me coat by the way..)

I see the BBC managed to find another rag to do the predictions with Sutton

 

[Andy TheCatalyst Morrison]

Carragher in the Telegraph, goodness me:

'A peculiarity of all the most recent high-profile, mega-billionaire takeovers is how quickly new owners seem to have Liverpool in their sights.

Both Chelsea and Manchester City were preoccupied with targeting Liverpool after receiving history-changing investment, eager to make a statement about a power shift at the top of the English game.

Those feuds instantly grew on and off the pitch, with Chelsea having the resources to keep trying to sign our captain Steven Gerrard as they began to collect trophies, and City continuing the pattern by luring Raheem Sterling from Anfield.'

Pre-occupied with targeting Liverpool apparently.

Yeah, if only we’d focused on ourselves instead of being pre-occupied with Liverpool over the past 15 years we might have won a few trophies. Oh well, Pep out I guess

 

[Rochdale Blue]

Lamela or Erikssen. Bale was three years out of Spurs by the time they gifted Spurs and Leicester a title race.

Cheers, just checked and the game was in February 2016. Apparently it was Danny Rose who crossed the ball and hit Sterling, with the media questioning if the end was nigh for City. Nothing changes, does it.

Don't worry it will be a Dipper next week , and probably one who couldnt find Dipperland on a map

“Manchester City first won the FA cup in 1904, a full 119 years before they were hit with 115 charges for flouting FFP laws”

The winning goal being scored by Billy Meredith, who was banned for bribing an opposition player.......
Significantly when he played in stretford, his stats never approached his City figures.

Manchester City ruining football since 2008/2012/2023/1904/forever!
