Colin Mafham wasn't, but he soon learned.

Let's hope he has a long and happy retirement. https://pressgazette.co.uk/news/rea...ed-over-column-criticising-liverpool-fc-fans/

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

I’ve no idea what they’re counting. But this mighty two decade long head to head battle he had with Ferguson resulted in 3 titles and an admittedly impressive number of FA Cups.

Mind you, they rarely had Europe to worry about come the business end of the season, so that made that easier.

Guardiola would have been hung, drawn and quartered for an equivalent record, for being a national embarrassment.

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.

Staggering that, head and shoulders above the rest.

Amazing how Chelsea and Rags have equal points.

I'd be pissed off as a Spuds fan, up in the top clutch but not won a thing.

Fuck sake, feel for the guy for speaking the truth. What a shitstain of a fanbase they really are

The fact his editor was a lifelong Liverpool fan says it all, not biased at all of course.
They are correctly called a cult but by fuck I will give those fuckers their due, they stick together and won't give up if they feel wronged. They also have the media in their pocket. The fact they're called European royalty, after what happened in Heysel and getting English clubs banned for five years is beyond belief.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

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!

Yep and if you're ever caught up with and the list of alleged offences are made public, having 'GDM is a City fan" tagged to it with a pic of you in your Wembley, face paint, will be purely headline.

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Lost for words about Burnhams performance on Talksport. Directly asked the usual ‘whattabout City’ question and completely avoided it and said NOTHING then carried on talking about Everton.

Mayor of fucking MANCHESTER !!

To be fair that's probably as good an answer as he is entitled to give.

He can't really proclaim guilt or innocence as he genuinely isn't in the know.

Other than providing a line of there being a due process to follow (which is seemingly made up as the PL go along), and we look forward to a swift resolution, not sure what else he could bring to the party?

For absolute clarity, I don't particularly like or rate Burnham but not sure what else he should be putting forward........

Burnham could easily have said City have denied all the allegations and the legal case will run its course. He said plenty about Everton’s case. Over the years he has been slow to praise the amazing investment in Manchester by Sheikh Mansour which has created thousands of jobs. Our owner is probably the biggest inward investor in Greater Manchester over the last decade and is the council’s biggest partner. The city of Manchester has a lot to lose.

BBC statisticians as bad as their journos - Rags points total is 747

That’s a Labour member for you. Hate wealth

I really hope so

I completely concur. What happened to freedom of speech?? Ffs. I do hope Colin is OK and bless he probably has had to assume a new identity and live in a safe house such is the insanity and madness of the cult, aided and abetted by a compliant, captured msm.

And that was 4 years ago. The gap has grown hugely since then. We’ve now 200 points ahead of Spurs since our first PL title season. I know that because I looked it up when I was arguing with a Spurs fan who thought they were a serious rival.

 

[Scoobz3]

I'm going to write an article on how no one is reading that obsessed Irish dwarf Delaney now.

Gone quiet since Stefan schooled him, well apart from his initial outburst where he tried to retrieve the situation but made him even appear to more unhinged and desparate than normal ...

 

[VOOMER]

Regardless of the motives it’s only the second memorable thing I can think of that Danny Mills has done for City.

First being that goal v Everton.

And what a belter it was

Full-back Danny Mills' first goal for the club was a spectacular long-range strike versus the Toffees

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!

Ronaldo is far more famous than Robinho is though.

It’s more like this example -

Woman 'raped by ex-Manchester United star and his friend', court hears

Cofie - once the youngest ever million pound footballer - and Nathan Stuart are accused of having sex with the alleged victim when she was too drunk to consent.

I like downplaying Klopp's record as much as the next guy, but if you actually look at the table since 2015/16 when he arrived (half way through the season) then things are very different.
