Very dislikeable when he's playing for a national team I'm supporting as well.
Maybe he's just very dislikeable?

Haha yep you’re right I think.

The same matches were where my dislike began as well, but for me it was when Bellingham took a dive (Foden never touched him) and whilst on the deck (his favoured position) he began pleading with the ref to book Foden. Phil patted him on the back and put a friendly arm round his shoulder in an attempt to induce some sort of "mates" calmness into the proceedings which Bellingham just shrugged it off and continued to demand a card for his dive whilst never once acknowledging Phil's existence.

The lads a bit of a **** IMO

Sorry but I have to disagree with you.
The lads a LOT of a **** IMO.

I was about to embark on my daily 5 minute spent trolling opposition fans on the Daily Mail football pages and I notice on Google that their football landing page is now described as "Football & Soccer". Two sports for the price of one, but no doubt to which clubs their allegiances lie.

Get in the hole

Was the article illustrated with an image of a City player?

No just a picture of his city tattoo:)

Be careful. You should be aware that speaking against a Saint is a sure fire way to go down and not up when you pop your clogs.

BBC Headline:

Former England star banned from driving over crash​

BBC actual story:

Former Manchester United and England footballer Nicky Butt has been banned from driving over a crash which left a motorcyclist with a broken leg.

"Arsehole City fan gets in the way of fabulous united star Nicky Butt and gets him banned"

 

[its a Barm]

Get in the hole

That's what she said

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Wait til you see this

I know right - we've been saying Maradona all this time!?! ;-)

We are sleep walking into American control of English football.

Yeh but as long as they are Caucasian and from the West right?

 

[give it to gordon]

We are sleep walking into American control of English football.

Odd isn't that the fans of clubs that don't particularly like their American owners can't the see the danger to the whole of English football

Plus the British press/media fully support the American takeover. Samuel is the lone voice

 

[ZanteWeatherman]

Yeah and the cream fest about Trent playing in midfield soon dried up

Thank fuck for that

Just as well I`m an atheist then and know my rightful place. ;)

 

[GortonBlue62]

Yep completely agree. Very dislikable especially when he’s playing against you.

He is a **** but he didn't seem to antagonise the Danes much the other night.

Was he playing?

This is without doubt the biggest concern for the future of the premier league. I’m convinced that the American owners will cooperate with each other to reach their desired aims of a salary cap and no promotion and no relegation target. And these 3 targets are just for starters. I think they form a bigger threat than the Saudi Pro League ever will.

Eliminating promotion and relegation will never happen. We saw the public outcry when the Super League was proposed. A big part of that outrage was related to the closed nature of the league.

Handicapping the PL by introducing a salary cap, which has to compete with the other major European leagues, would be economic suicide. So I suspect that wouldn't happen either.

The current biggest threat to the PL is the PL itself, which is making English clubs less competitive in European competition by the introduction of FFP, PSR, anchoring, etc.

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

The Americans are already in charge as far as I can see. Or at least is all going that way.

Coverage in these euros had been a lot like watching American sports. Its not just the accents , it's the stupid stats and gimmicks.

I think football is headed that way unfortunately, its where the money is. Its progress, and you could argue City are at the forefront of it, like utd WERE at the start of the PL.

Not sure who you think the PL is? You think Masters and Brittain have any ideas in their heads that aren't planted there?

Absolutely.
