This gimp gives Harris a run for his money

Think he's an Australian United fan. Oh the joys of the internet.

Spurs put up a better fight than Arsenal did against us a few weeks ago.

Conveniently cropped both the ball and Bernado out of the screenshot. Why do people feel the need to create talking points, when none are present, just to stay relevant on social media?

Just in case you couldn't dislike Roan any more.

Premier League: Compelling title race a relief at end of turbulent season

Sunday’s final-day drama will provide a welcome distraction for Premier League bosses, says BBC sports editor Dan Roan.

While City deny wrongdoing, a sixth league triumph in seven years - potentially by just one point for the third time in five seasons...

The odds of City losing at home to West Ham and Arsenal drawing with Everton are pretty slim, Dan.

X/Twitter right now is an absolute battlefield.

City on one side V the Scousers, the Rags and the Tarquins.

Could be marginally off there, but can't say for sure. We've had many decisions go against Spurs, including this season when the play was stopped while Grealish was through on goal. We were due one.

Are you talking about DTAFC or @jrb ?

Mr DT, which bizarrely happens to be my initials. However, non-issue given the above comments, and my inability to click on the photo ;-)

not really media - i.e. it's some bellend spouting shite as opposed to some bellend getting paid to spout shite

This signing only world class players bullshit is so lethargic and without any considerable research. Here is how they were signed:

Ederson: Signed as an unknown after the Bravo debacle. Not even us had an idea how good he will turn out to be.
Stefan: Signed as a free from a relegated Bundesliga outfit.
Carson: Yeah, the only God level player we signed! Absolute quality! THE GOAT
Kyle: Signed and got pelters from every side for money down the drain.
Rico: Academy Graduate and absolute class.
Manuel: Signed as an emergency on deadline day. Not even Dortmund were aware how good he is!
J Boulders: Pep has to defend him (biggest balls in the room) in his first season as he got criticisms from everywhere
Ruben: Nobody knew how good he was. Even our 2nd or 3rd choice as a signing.
Nathan: Signed from relegated Bournemouth on a release clause.
Josko: Signed on a high fee. Still, some people were skeptical due to the meggings he got from Messi in the world cup
Sergio: Signed as a promising youngster and boyhood fan from Anderlecht.
Godri: Signed on a release clause and was written off in the initial 2 years as a flop even from some of our support
Kovacic: Signed from Chelsea with little or no excitement from anywhere.
Nunes: Signed as an emergency when we missed out on Paqueta late in the window.
KDB: A 60 million CHELSEA REJECT.
Bernardo: Signing came out of nowhere. He was class then and he has proven it multiple times since.
Jeremy: An exciting signing as Mahrez replacement. One for the future.
Jack: An English poster boy signed on a release clause. Was immense in our Treble success.
Phil: A local kid and now a genuine superstar. Every supporter's dream.
Oscar: Academy graduate and we hope he goes the way of Phil.
Julian: Proof of an excellent scouting. What a player he has become.
Erling: A genuine superstar and a City fan to boot. And paid peanuts for him.

Each one of these players were nowhere on the same capacity when they signed. They were coached, they learned and now they are the world class superstars everyone apart from us envies. Any team could have signed these players, but I am sure they hadn't developed like this if they had been in any other team. They deserve whatever they are achieving currently and no crying/devaluing from anyone is going to deny what they are currently. They are here on merit and achieved everything on the pitch fair and square,nothing else!

Long time lurker, first time poster etc………this is the best post I have read in years. Superb work blue!

Some bellend who’s not long out of prison for kidnapping his ex mrs. Wrongun who shouldn’t be taken seriously in anything

Why would we put put pressure on the PL when it’s now out of their hands and with the IC?

Because he’s a moron.

You think after that he’d keep a low profile but nope, attention seeking fuck wit can’t help himself.

Never forget his rant on ATV, after they’d lost a game years ago, about how HE didn’t deserve that!!

What the actual fuck, deserved? Self entitled prick.

I've become too cynical with referee decisions to ever admit if we get them in our favour.

That might have been offside. It's not our job to spot it. The standard of refereeing is shit because they never have to explain their shitty decision making.

Not to mention, what even is his argument? Are the PL fixing it? Nothing says institutional bias like "here's a goal that could have been pulled on VAR. BTW the 115 charges are still there"

And lastly, VAR was designed to review clear and obvious errors. Not nitpicking every touch and go decision with a ruler.

 

[Impeccable One]

Not sure if any reader of this thread needs convincing how shit the media is, but here's a snippet from the "What happens to the trophy on the final day" article on the BBC website ...

"If Arsenal draw, they can still win a first league title in 20 years on goal difference if Manchester City were to lose to the Hammers".
