It includes community shields for Wenger. 7 of them. It doesn’t include Pep’s 2. Mourinho’s 13 includes 1 African one.

Wenger got 17 trophies?? I seem to remember them winning a lot of fa cups but I'm still surprised it was that many trophies.

 

[west didsblue]

Any more for Klipperty on there?

It’s from a completely shit article. Apart from getting half the numbers wrong, it says Pep will forever have an asterisk against his achievements with some people.

Includes 7 Community Shields. Pep’s on 16 with his 2 Community Shields.

He won 3 leagues and 7 FA Cups in 22 years.

Guardiola won more before he got round to unpacking his suitcase.

I think he’s comparing you to @franksinatra

Dont see what the issue is personally. It would be weird if an English sports news website didn’t reference his (only) English club first, or even exclusively.

Ah! Yes, that was my point too, I’d find it odd if they didn’t as well.

The media are cunts, but some of the perceived slights on here are utterly preposterous.

So they're counting charity shields as major trophies then?

Just feeds the myth of it all potentially being paranoia too linking it all in the same bucket, whereas the reality is there some reporting that’s fine, some that will always have bias as they’re pandering to what they think their readership want to read and there’s some that are just cunts.

Agreed. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

The offences were committed in Italy tbf, long after he left this country

Yes, but that doesn’t render his time at City to be irrelevant for headline purposes, surely.

It’s not like it’s factually incorrect. He was a City player…barely!

FEDs, Reds, or PEDs under the beds... I fucking love being a paranoid football fan :D
More obscure, unreasonable, and outrageous truth twisting is needed in this place, not less.
I didn't sign up to football fandom to have a balanced view of life.
Everyone is out to get us, so I'm out to get everyone else.
Don't fight it, Tache.

You are asking me to fight reason and logic!

Now you're getting it! :D

Reason and Logic are superfluous on here. Lob those bad boys in the trash.

 

[ysmsa]

Do you mean Bernstein or the Berenstain Bear? ;-)

Ha ha, just noticed that.

Tried to type it again but predictive text brings up more obscure spellings.

Who is blowing the smoke up bingos and scouse arse to even suggest he's anywhere near what constitutes a great manager. Liverpool have accumulated 7 points more than spurs in a 10 year period.

Is that an up to date table though? The linked article is dated Dec 2019, as in the overall table for the 2010s.

I just grabbed the first thing mate, but the point still stands that Klipperty is nowhere near a premier league or indeed a top flight great.

I don't disagree with anything you say but I feel it's only fair to point out that Klopp was only in charge for half of the period in that table.

Sky reporting on Robinho this month
https://news.sky.com/story/robinho-...r-prison-sentence-in-brazil-for-rape-13098947.
Sky reporting Ronaldo October 2023
https://news.sky.com/story/amp/cris...pe-accuser-over-2010-hush-money-deal-12976361

Daily Mail reporting Robinho yesterday
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...r-jail-sentence-convicted-gang-rape-2017.html

Daily Mail reporting Ronaldo Nov 2023
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...Kathryn-Mayorga-appeal-Cristiano-Ronaldo.html

The above are the most recent reports involving Sky & the Daily Mail on reporting Robinho rape & Romaldo alleged rape.

So why are City in the headline but united only mentioned deep in the article when talking about the above two players.

There are many other examples, could only be arsed listing the above two.

So maybe this is why City fans on here are so called paranoid on why City are mentioned in the headlines but for example united are only mentioned way down in both articles (there are many other examples).

Also,in the above examples Ronaldo played far more games for united then Robinho did for City & obviously both played in this country, so maybe not so paranoid then. Maybe the scum journalists are just what they are, scum journalists!

 

[Shirley]

A negative or anti City article grabs the attention of the red shirts = more clicks etc

Lazy scum hacks more like

Wait til they find out he stalked his victims on the buses…..
