Have bought TNT (originally BT), solely to watch City.
Have finally had enough of the bias towards, whoever City are playing, by the commentary, co-commentator and the pundits.
Robbie Savage seemed to know more about Brugge, their tactics and squad than your average Brugge fan ? Perhaps he was scouting for Macclesfield ?
Will not renew when current contract runs out.
Seeing that absolute piece of shit Wio and "Definitely" Joleon try to analyse City's second half turnaround, was the final straw...

Having Ferdinand on the touchline in front of me pre-match last night doing his “work” for TNT churned my stomach. Why the fuck do we have to suffer him on coverage of our games and in our stadium? I mean seriously.
1) he’s not even that great at his job, and I can’t understand why TNT seem to have decided to elevate his status to the No1 pundit, even though his tactical insight level is so poor
and 2) he’s not only a united supporter -but one who shows his bias against us and glee at our misfortune at regular intervals.
 
from experience....
THe images to date show what ammounts to a 15-20 year masterplan for the area. Involving the relocation of a freight terminal, the CPO on several acres of public and private housing and businesses, realignment and new lines for both train and metrolink, repositioning associated services, and thats before you can consider dropping and building a stadium . So...this is all doable if it wasn't for the fact that Sir Jim...the driving force...is well into his 70s...he won't see it built and he has to keep the Glazers on side as well as the board at Ineos.
Bluntly, everyone take a breath , it's not going to happen.

There were tons of orange coated stewards in front of us in 128, couldn’t understand it, were they expecting a pitch invasion or something? Maybe it was to stop us all going for him. I was certainly tempted to give him some verbals, but he never came back out at half time!

Just watched BBC CL Show - the first words in the opening sequence we hear are.......CODY GAKPO!!!! and the last ones "City are up against it"
The closing punditry remarks from ex-dipper Warnock - " Liverpool have done it perfectly - City have only themselves to blame..." and their final highlights sequence opens with Bruge's coach roaring triumphantly after defeat by us...

Utter rag/dipper infested scum.

Sorry, but I don't agree with that. At the start of the night, Liverpool were already guaranteed one of the top two places and through to the last 16. City were outside the play-off qualification places, having just been battered in Paris. Those are just facts, and the opening sequence reflected those. There was plenty of peril for City last night, not least of which was being behind at half-time and not playing particularly well. It's understandable most of the punditry focused on that. Ex-City Joe Hart gave a good account of himself during the show (and on 5Live during the build-up). I don't rate Warnock as a pundit, but can you really argue that City haven't got themselves to blame for finishing 22nd (on goal difference) and facing a tricky play-off tie? As for the final sequence, it was a relief that City got through, but hardly something to over celebrate? Brugge were clearly delighted to get through and there were some lovely shots of them celebrating after the match. It was a nice way to start. Would you have preferred to see Pep kicking a drinks container instead? The sequence also finished with Savinho's goal.
 
Happened to flick sky sports news on at 11.
'city were just 45 minutes from going out'....

Ohhhh I did chuckle. Me and the Mrs were only 2 numbers from winning the lotto...we didnt go out and we didnt win the lotto. Totally irrelevant

Rollon the 115 verdict because that will be a thing to behold. The hornets nest will be stirred for sure...

"The government is backing Andy Burnham’s plans for the redevelopment of Old Trafford, which promises to create new housing and commercial development around a new stadium"

Nowhere in the speech does she say anything else about the stadium.

What point are you trying to make pal ?

I have stated that the chancellor did not talk about any money for Utds stadium,just the overall development of old Trafford (the area) and to stress the point she then said no money will be made avable for the stadium development itself ?
Or am I misunderstanding u ?

The chaps at the British Paedo Corporation must be fucking gutted they had to throw their drafts away when we scored the third.

Simon Stone lurking like the grim reaper to deliver his 'killer' blows looked sick on the ten o'clock news. Made even better when they returned to Clive Myrie grinning ear to ear saying "the sun shining on city fans tonight, now for the weather!"
They're not all bad after all.
