If Alan Brazil and Mick Hucknall had a love child, with a touch of Charlie Drake?

Hello my darlings.

 

[Big Joe Corrigan]

Sad to see John Stapleton is struggling with Parkinson’s, I once spoke to him in the City Store at Maine Road and he admitted he had been a through and through Blue all his life

He was in our hotel in Barcelona when we played there a few seasons ago. Him and his wife both Blues.

Met John Stapleton many times at games all over the Uk and Europe. He is a fanatical City fan and always has been. I wish him the best in his health struggles.

Yes, he's a regular attendee at away fixtures. Always very polite, lovely man. All the best John.

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Can’t be arsed linking it, but I see Wilson has offered up yet another rehash of his one story again today in the Guardian.
All those lunatic Arsenal and Wolves fans and their foam flecked, dribblings about corruption, cos refereeing decisions didn’t go their way this weekend?
Well, you’ll be as surprised as I was to learn that the root cause of their whataboutery and victim orientated nonsense, is “mega-rich owners”, who “have the potential to bankrupt whole competitions through repeated legal action of questionable merit.”
The premise appears to be that not wishing to acknowledge such owners’ lack of respect for traditional supporters (something that does admittedly resonate) and the game itself, is too painful to accept and has led to ‘discomfort displacement’ in the form of conspiracy theories about referees……
Who knew?!!

Good. I`m glad the fuckers are hurting and long may it continue the fucking big mard arses.

Holding back the years?

 

[its grim up north]

Great to have an impartial media eh? Love watching their pain though

Twice the very knowledgeable in ground reporter says Bernado took the corner. How fast must Bernie be to take a corner and be in the 6 yard box to meet it ?

Throw in a bit of David Moyes ?

Said this a few times when he’s brought up on here but he gave two very skint young City fans who had blagged a train to London free tickets outside Craven Cottage once. Didn’t want a penny for them and told us to save the money we had for beer

At least he could never be offside.

Whoops, they couldn’t even work that one out ;-)

 

[Leeky]

It comes to something when you think Crimson Clive was harshly treated by ITV he pisses all over Matterface

Fuck him he’s a rag

 

[northendenton]

I heard he was on var too.

And moonlighting at the pie stall, busy boy.

 

[jrb]

Surprise, surprise, he’s a London Journalist.

That’s mainly the problem, bar the Northern based Red Shirt Sill Journalist, most of the Journalists are London based,

No idea who chris wheatley is but I’m sure they’re not the words O’Neil said in his post match presser.

Oh oh. To three quarter million fine to O'Neill.

"Without even knowing it, are you more likely to give a crazy fine to a rich Greek Forest owner or a KFA English manager?

When it's rich owners, is there something in there that influences decision-making?"

 

[halfcenturyup]

Okay that’s the full presser I hadn’t seen that.

Maybe if last season Wilson had mentioned the Korean guy who’s scored Wolves winner shouldn’t have been in the pitch. Then maybe if he’d have gone over last few times we’d played Wolves away he’d have had handballs & plenty of other winners but they don’t. So if he reported a fair & balanced view then there wouldn’t be a conspiracy brewing that we are getting unjust decisions.

 

[Gingers Dad]

Notice the GPC abandoned OT on Saturday in favour of watching Aberdeen at Celtic. Don't think he took his contract termination well. Doesn't seem impressed with Ten Bob and Chelsea Jim.

First time he wasn't being paid to be at utd in nearly 40 years he showed his true colours. To be fair I wouldn't watch that shite either.

 

[Gingers Dad]

He's nearly 60 ffs what do you want him to look like lol

At least he's not ginger anymore
