His face doesn’t fit ?

Especially when he doesn't shave... the scruffy looking cnut

The Bellingham thing is interesting. Until I saw him in the flesh against us, I also believed the hype that this was a generational talent coming through and that he was leading Madrid to titles single-handedly. It was clear from the two legs we saw that he's a snide, diving git with a talent buried somewhere in there. However, no-one regularly watches Spanish football as its not been on Sky, so we only saw the odd Madrid CL game and a couple of England games to judge him. So, the hype continued until we watched him in the tournament. However, by then the press had committed to the Bellingham story, the "hey Jude" ad was playing and they couldn't back out to change the narrrative...

He is the Sporting press’s wet dream, a non white middle class boy who didn’t grow up on a Northern council estate

Jonathan Liew, our mate at the Guardian wrote about when the Spanish match turned against us, that throw in. It's this line that got me..
'Walker a powerful man, takes a run up, winds up those fearsome, Carrington-carved muscles.........

I'm focused on a word, maybe it's me but come on, no one, not even Liew is that stupid.

Tbf Rice can absorb alot of water.

There's more than a grain of truth in that.

 

[cheekybids]

The easy answer to that is to drop the self-entitled shit house.
He's had too many people blowing smoke up his arse since he was at primary school and he believes his own hype.

The fact was people were impressed by his age rather than his performances.

Last season he played as a 9 obviously did well but if he was that fucking great why would they sign Mbappe. He scored less than Haaland & Foden but he’s the dogs bollocks for winning champs league when truth was we played them off the park & he was wank in both games.

Trying to be smart arse but those muscles haven’t been to Carrington.

It baffles me how low Graham Potter's status is seen across social media.

He was on a hiding to nothing going to Chelsea and even his successor failed to bring the mess together.

When he was at Brighton, he had them purring. They were a fantastic team to watch.

Yet even when De Zerbi came in, Potter's work was totally forgotten and rarely mentioned.

Almost the anti-PR version of Bellingham.

He's a very good coach. Pep is an admirer.

Exactly mate, Liew was undone by his own ignorance! Shame...

Perhaps I'm missing something but Carrington is where the rags train.

Hoisted by his own leotard.

Maybe his love muscle has.
It's been everywhere else.

Eh, we all know whathe means and it sounds better than "Eithad Sportcity Campus-carved muscles". It's an opinion piece, a little artistic license is not a crime.

On a list of stupid or incorrect things Liew has written about City, this wouldn't crack the top 1000.

No it's not he's supposed to be a journalist, we moved from Carriington to Clayton/ Bedwick fuckin moons ago, might as well say it 's ok if he calls our ground Maine Road by your thinking

Not the top 1000 but stands out as fucking pathetic when he’s named a training ground vacated 10 years ago after building a state of the art £300m facility. He's a professional writer so coming up with Carrington as artistic license is piss poor.

 

[edinburgh123]

On a serious note, how much is Rodri worth when you see a £106 million poor imitation on the same pitch named Declan Rice?

Wait until 6 games into the new season. We may be a little behind Arsenal because of starting back late and if so all will be forgotten and Rice will be as good (if not better) as Rodri according to the press again

But it tells exactly how much they know about us or more importantly, what they don't know.
Once again, he has made himself look extremely silly, which he does on a regular basis.
Sums the Guardian overall.

If only it was close to the ground or had a media room for the journalists to attend press conferences ;)

Is it possible to show him up by contacting the paper?

Oh dear, why didn't you reply to my original post. Oh well. Let's not comment on the media in a football forum designed for people to comment on.
A little artistic licence ! That's one way of describing an idiot who hasn't got a clue, but, hey, perhaps I shouldn't comment.

(I'm hopefully on ignore which is why he didnt)
