Looks like The Guardian has gone behind a paywall.

You can read 20 articles a month for free then it's £6.99 a month

That's them going out of business then, I wouldn't give them the steam off my piss, read the City match reports and that's it.

Did we play today?

Just listened to the news on Radio 2 and they mentioned the Arsenal 'defeat' and the hands of Liverpool, and the 3 draws involving West Ham, Luton and Forest, but not a sausage on our game.

Radio 2 is nearly as shite as Talkshite, the only good thing about it is they got rid of that ginger **** Evans.

Again, I respectfully disagree... City have put the sponsor on their training kit... but I would expect that was a requirement of the sponsorship package... Asahi will want their logo seen as a return for investment.
And after the UEFA ban/CAS reporting in the media, I wouldn't believe anything until I hear from the club... and I certainly hope we don't settle or negotiate - i'd have our day in court.

But City don't have to have a sponsorship deal with Asahi. They didn't force us to do it.

It is real: https://www.ft.com/content/f9bc5db9-a2c2-48a5-9fa3-b01a5c8e9bab

Very few lawyers will advise a client to "have their day in court".

My ERO was telling me that the BBC, I think, have manufactured another 'stat'! It's how quickly teams change defence into attack. Naturally, the Coach Wreckers are top with 1.9 summat and we're down in the basement with nought point summat. It seems that hoofing it from yer own area into the opposition half for the likes of Salah to chase is the antidote to Pepball! I would think that there are dozens of sides in L1 and L2 who could give the Dippers a chase on that one!

Is there a trophy awarded for it ?

Sky Sports News discussing if Choupo-Moting would be a good signing for the rags.

Everyone agreed it would be a good signing!

"Nothing to lose"
"Experienced forward"
"Scored goals in the premier league before"(a grand total of 4)

If that doesn't tell you Sky don't pander to the red shirts I'm not sure what will

Fucking hell that’s prolific when your last 2 strikers have scored 1 in 32.

It was the same with the Ighalo ‘masterstroke’

Scruffy Jim obviously aiming high then after letting the prolific Martial leave - if they're lucky .

There's no way they're going out of business. The move to the internet and web subscriptions has turned them from a niche English paper to one of the biggest in the World.

20 free Guardian articles a month is also an interesting entry point too. It's the ones with 2 or 3 that are almost pointless. You can click on something and find out it's not particularly interesting, or even just a short non-article, and that's 2 weeks worth of that site gone. If you're reading 20+ then it's reasonable to argue that you enjoy that newspaper, and, if you can afford to, should be giving a few quid a month.

If you're only reading City match reports, then you won't get close to needing to pay.

I used to buy a newspaper before the Internet took off. I have an Internet subscription to the Telegraph on the back of my mother buying the actual paper, when that finishes my subscription finishes, maybe I'm tight but I won't pay for news when it freely available elsewhere. There's a lot of people like me and they will struggle.

More exposure, more clicks, more revenue.

The mail have an awful agenda against anyone who isn’t a self confessed Nazi.

Edited for accuracy

I was confused when the team came out on bbc….

I was quickly trying to figure out the formation then I realised the incompetent cunts had only named 10 players.

Its part of our 115 charges punishment. We have to play each week with an ever decreasing team number. By the time the cup final comes round we'll just have a goalkeeper. If we play the rags in the final again we'll still win it, Eddy scoring the winner !

You can see all the articles behind paywall from any site by pasting the link to an article into some of the paywall bypass sites. You can find paywall bypass sites by googling words like: paywall bypass website

I think it would be a cracking signing for them. He’s worse than Antony

 

[Chris in London]

surely Newcastle aren’t going to go , again (Micheal Owen) for a faded Liverpool player, who has an excellent range in pointing techniques?

When did McManaman sign for Newcastle?

I saw that, scruffy twat Hachard makes out he knows every player in Europe, he’s a useless journalist, said Choupo Moting would be a good acquisition, what a fucking knob.

Reminds me of vogue trying to sue that pub for the use of their name, until the pub wrote back telling them to swivel as the pub had been there for hundreds of years before the crap mag even started publishing. They wrote a sniveling apology letter back to them saying sorry for the misunderstanding. Wankers.

Reminds me of shop in Urmston in the 80's, used to be the cinema was then called Terry's and sold mail order returns (I received loads of old crap for my birthdays from there, like action man with an arm missing lol!) anyways Terry sold out and the new owner re-named it " 'Arrods of the North". It was changed pretty quick after Mohamed al Fayed issued a warning!

It's not incompetence. It happens far to may times for that. Its by design. The rag supporting children running BBC sport / football coverage and will be sniggering to themselves for days over it. An absolute set of wankers.

There used to be a hardware/car spares shop in Marple called Harrods, same green and white logo with a slightly different font.
