So what happens next then? Does this rag squad keep buying into what Amorim is trying to implement or do they all revert to form? Sulk, go hiding and down tools on the manager. There’s players in that squad who have done this to Mourinho, Solksjaer and Ten Haag but the press were telling us everything was different this time before the season kicked off.

I can imagine it’ll be up there with the queens passing, days and days of scrolling pictures and news articles, skys inevitable documentary etc basically sky sports will turn into mutv for weeks.
All the players old and new reliving past glories media headlines like the end of ww2
All glossing over how fucking shit that club is
Any other manager would get a day out of it.

It will all have to come out sooner or later. You can't keep a lid on these things for an indefinite period. His relationship with game officials, his insistence that all rag signings go through his son's sporting agency, his complete character assassination of any journalists that dare write a negative comment about him, a certain hotel in Thailand where he bans all mobile phones and video cameras etc while he's 'holidaying' there, when Dwight Yorke turned up at a club do with his then girlfriend Katie Price and the Pisscan made the DJ play 'Who Let The Dogs Out,' and stood there conducting the crowd using a biro pen as the conductor's baton.

When the whole sordid truth about his time at the rags is laid open for all to see, the club are going to have to put on a Herculean show of strength regarding damage limitation.

There lies one of their main problems.

I'm convinced that the media are complicit in the rags demise. They can't help themselves it would seem.

It's a fascinating conundrum the media have got with the rags, they're so desperate for them to regain a foothold in the league yet they can't leave them alone.

Their obsession with everything rag, just compounds the problem and highlights every flaw and blunder the filth make. Talk about airing your dirty laundry.

Even when the media try to put a positive spin on things for the rags, it tends to have an adverse effect on them.

While I'm writing this, I'm thinking to my self: "hang on, this probably belongs in the media thread" but that's the thing.

You cannot separate the media from the rags and vice-versa. The two entities have embroiled themselves so tightly into the most dysfunctional relationship possible, it has become the most watched daily soap opera.

All we need now is a theme tune to go with it.

Wow that’s staggering, I’m actually surprised they aren’t in the minus territory.

That is something to behold. They are 4 complete seasons and doesn't include this seasons 4 games, that would put them at +1 so if they continue on their current trajectory (down) then it will be a minus 5 season goal difference. The gift that keeps on giving.

Save Our Interim!!!

Some rag blogger popped up on my Facebook feed and out of curiosity I clicked on it to see him wallowing in self pity. Instead I was seeing total delusion, City were there for the taking and they were playing well and they should have won. How do they see the game of football completely different to everyone else? Better finishing from City, that game could have turned into an absolute demolition.

Have they ever bought into it. The clip of Amid not tracking Doku to the byline once he'd sent Shaw for a milkshake & rat face letting Foden have a free header was telling

They're telling them what they want to hear so they can get the engagement. 1st goal is always huge in the derby, but coming home from the game I couldn't remember them having a shot on target even though the stats said 2

Doku getting two attempts to put his cross in and Fernandes ambling towards the box whilst Foden changes direction and gets a free run to head it in.

The third was an absolute disaster, Haaland being the closest player to their keeper in his own half. They aren’t exactly pulling up trees to sort this out are they?
