[WestGorton]

Stephen Warnock the bitter fool. Complaining that City's success is tainted because they spent loads of money and that's not allowed any more because of PSR. So Newcastle for example can't progress.

Stephen Warnock the bitter fool misses the point that every other club was entitled to invest when City were successful.

Stephen Warnock the bitter fool misses the point that the rags spent a billion quid to buy 15th place in the Premier League.

It was very deliberately done. SKY had to apologise after he made remarks about the charges in early 2023. He blamed Liverpool's poor form on grief on MOTD. A real low life.

Stephen Warnock on Football Focus having a bit of a bitter rant when asked if we're the best Premier League side, under Pep in general. Mostly having a pop at the money spent as Liverpool's transfer window has shown it's so easy...

"... I think back to the Liverpool teams of the 80s and they're maybe not as good as them.." some cracking Premier League teams in the 80s weren't there...

He played 40 games in 5 years for the victims. Scored as many goals for Burton as he did for them. Must be the Joe 90 glasses that turns him into the font of all knowledge then?

 

[BringBackSwales]

I didn’t see it but my Mrs mentioned it, said it was unbelievably biased and Alex fucking Scott said nothing. She used to say I was paranoid about the media bias but she gets it now. Take it warcock didn’t mention the half a billion that his pals spunked and wasted in the summer?

It was slander. Plain as day.

 

[prestonibbo_mcfc]

Bloody hell, had the misfortune of tuning into football focus and they had an interview with Bernardo Silva where he rightly said the team that won four in a row and won the treble is the greatest team in English football. They then put that bitter dipper Stephen Warnock on where he claims that United in the 90s and Liverpool were better. Fuck sake

With the caveat of the money we spent. Obviously Utd and Liverpool were all local lads scraped off the streets.

 

[JRockBlues]

Maybe, just maybe (but probably not) they think there's more chance of a cup upset happening, a la Grimsby.

94 percent of Liverpool and United’s combined League titles were won when you could spend as much as you like. If City had those conditions since 2013 how more league titles would we now have?

 

[Ithryn Luin]

Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere but I had a quick search on the forum and could not find it.

Excellent interview with Erling on "The Rest is Football" with Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer......

 

[give it to gordon]

Are people still tightening their arteries worrying about the media and them calling us Manchester United quickly followed by a correction?

Funny as fuck I think it is because they will never be us and I certainly don't want to be them.
The media have a narrative which they have to follow to generate revenue, clicks, likes or whatever it maybe. When you learn to be at peace with it you will enjoy their pain so so much more. Clammering for united to be back at the top table of success when in reality they are fucking wank.

Could also look at it as the media taking the piss out of rags because they arent in Europe.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Oi warcock you thick Scouse **** - just some of the Manchester City legends over the period you mentioned -

Hart £900k
Zaba £5m
Vinny £5m
Spanish Dave £24m
Yaya £24m
Sergio £38m
KDB £58m

That’s £155m for 7 players, all legends

Your cunting club spent 3 times that amount this summer alone. Mind you like you said money buys you success, you’re fucking TENTH

These thick fuckers crack me up when they say city cheated cos they spent money. But then complain that Newcastle aren’t allowed to spend! lol the mind fuckin boggles they’re that fuckin thick!

 

[Chris in London]

Warnock on footbalfocus talking utter bollocks and he knows it. You could see a stupid grin on his face as he said it.
" City are not as good as the Ferguson teams and Liverpool of the 80s because we could just buy the best players"
What a knob!

Presumably he didn't know the rags broke the British transfer record four times in 18 months.

All the stats, goals,points, records, prove City are the best of all time. It’s not even close.

 

[Legalamb777]

He is a lying toadying prick

Made me chuckle that…….

Cheers pal:)

 

[half & half derby scarf]

I've just applied for a job as a football journalist at BBC Media City. They wanted to see a sample of my work, so I sent them this. What are my chances do you reckon?:

"Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Mo, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Salah, Slot, Slot, Salah"

 

[Gazza]

It's amazing how many times the BBC live Saturday 3:00pm commentary is done from either Anfield or OT. I know there isn't much choice today but they'd have been there nevertheless.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

"... I think back to the Liverpool teams of the 80s and they're maybe not as good as them.." some cracking Premier League teams in the 80s weren't there...

The media darling Liverpool team of the 80's that referees were scared of?

Yeah, good team but totally different era.

World apart you bitter Scouse twat.

Bitter ****.
To be fair I avoid the BBC like the plague !

 

[Blueboy73]

Anyone who takes anything Stephen Warnock says seriously needs to have a word with themselves.
He's a biased, bitter scouse prick.
Was a shit footballer and an even worse pundit.

Correct
