Oddly I remember a game rags played against the gooners. Rags kicked shit of of one gooner all game, the rags took turns in kicking him. Them granny shagger did a ridiculous dive to win a penalty and win the game.

This game was one of the most bent games ive ever seen. Who was the ref ?

Wilson wrote a (decent to be fair) history of football tactics called, Inverting the W (I think) about ten or 15vyears ago. It was very well received.
Even though it offered no particularly great insights (again, to be fair, why should it? He's a journalist not a coach) and the book was mostly a very well-researched chronological report of the evolution of football tactics, he has been lauded as something of a guru in the subject by his peers ever since. Why, only his peers can say but it baffles me.
(It can't be because they largely know fuck all on the subject surely but...) iIt'd be a bit like a food critic detailing the history of Russian food service and being regarded as a great chef by other food critics.
His book wasn't without fault/bias. (Remarkably, it entirely overlooks the Revie Plan - the first time an English club successfully embraced European tactics).
Unfortunately, his reporting is so much not without fault/bias that it's difficult to take seriously. Never - in 15 years of sustained domination of English football- has he seen fit to praise City without some degree of straw-clutching mitigation or downright sarcasm of his own.
TL/DR? He's a vaguely competent historian but a tiresome journalist.

Hilarious that anyone thinks Rooney has the requisite number of functioning brain cells to formulate even the outline of a theory in his pitifully tiny mind.

I’ve got a wank sock with better reasoning skills.

Fat, granny shagging ****.

You must be wrong. The highly respected BBC employee him as a pundit, why would they do that if he had no reasoning skills

Except that's absolute bollocks. The interview was on The Overlap and Dean said The QPR players knew they were safe after Dzeko scored as Jamie Mackie was celebrating but the full time whistle haven't gone at Bolton game so that's a lie. Dean said he found it odd that QPR kicked the ball straight to us after the restart and he didn't agree with that fat **** who has always said Paddy Kenny allowed the goals to go in and the QPR players gave up. The City lad reminded rughead that we had 44 shots on target and Paddy Kenny had a storming game to which rughead quickly shut up

Here's the headline, why don't we take these cunts to court slebs take each other to court every day for saying trivial naughty things.

Silence over Sudan: why do Manchester City’s owners get away with so much?​

Two midweek matches in England had a backdrop of war and geopolitics, but only one drew large protests

How would you feel if the owner of the football club you support was implicated, even as those implications are repeatedly denied, in famine, ethnic cleansing and the deaths of 1,500 men, women and children?

Guardiola attacks Israel, ignores Sudan | Israel Hayom

Pep Guardiola accused Israel of "destroying an entire people" while remaining conspicuously silent about his Manchester City employer's documented involvement in Sudan's ethnic cleansing – exposing the coach as a political ignoramus and moral hypocrite whose £20 million salary apparently buys...

They believe that if a team isn't playing and competing for the benefit of the red tops they must somehow be cheating.

In plain sight.

John cross is on Bellingham payroll no doubt! Seems there is a lot of so called high profile Journalists who say the same continually! If they watch football they don’t actually watch football to see the big big faults with Bellingham!

They don’t see we might of won a tournament if we played as a team not some individual showing off with look at me as he has the ball keeps it run around in a circle then loses it! That pass to Foden is quality he did kept it simple and passed the ball at the right time to Foden! I see Bellinghams good play I always have. Us city fans though know what a really good top quality player is now with watching pep football for 10 years!

Rooney needs to be called out for this conspiracy theory bollocks that QPR let City win. He's even admitted he's never watched the game either. We were dreadful that day as the nerves and occasion got to us but you have to give credit to QPR who were outstanding and defended like tigers. And they played even better when Barton was sent off.

The exact moment QPR knew they were safe was when Nasri let the ball go out of play thinking it was a throw in to us. Lescott wins the ball back and you can clearly see the QPR fans start to celebrate. 15 seconds later Aguero scores. Most of the QPR players look devastated especially Clint Hill so I doubt most of them would of known they were safe.

If he thinks QPR fixed the match then he's a bigger fucking idiot than I thought.
