He’s a boob but we’re probably one of the least clubs he targets. He’s generally quite complimentary of us and winds up Arsenal, Liverpool and Utd fans more, who he blatantly doesn’t like.

HE is just grateful if something he can verbalise comes into his brain.

Easy to fix. Just get off X/Twitter. It's an absolute cesspit.

Deleted my account around 2 years ago and it's one of the best things I've done to help my mental health

Same as and along with talkshite 15 years ago……

Too many City 'fans' on X posting controversial points for clicks.
I find it very hard to reconcile the desire for clicks and likes going beyond your love for your club.

Clicks over club is a sad sign of the times.

I do not do X or any of the others . Though I was interested in the "ballers" stuff you posted yesterday, however this craze for clicks is a blight. They may not even be City fans, just like that Goldberg(sp) wasnt a rag.

On a personal level I have so much distaste for Musk that I would not want to put a shekel in his pocket.

He’s a total moron and that sums of the current state of the UK media.

Same here pal. What with the charges and that orange top hat in the USA, I was going to bed constantly angry.

6 players up for player of the year, 2 of them from City.
BBC headline. “Arsenal trio and Fernandes and PFA player of the year shortlist”.

Well I never!

Never thought I would see a photograph containing John Terry and he’s not the biggest c*** in it!

That headline perfectly sums up the rancid and bitter organisation...

 

[Earlyriser]

It's all very well commenting upon the idiots who are employed by TalkSport and the bullshit they come out with but what does it say about you for listening

 

[itsnevereasy]

Imagine going from Pep to Mourinho! I’ve no doubt one day he’ll go there, seems everyone had it on their checklist, a bit like people going to Disney World except there’s less clowns at Disney. I just don’t get the fascination with them, their league is shit so winning it is no great shakes and yes you have more chance of the CL because of that, but to me it all smacks of lack of effort. Winning the CL from any premier league club is harder and more of an achievement than any other league in Europe.

Didn’t the media keep saying Sergio would go there every summer? Never happened, and when he rocked up at Barca was well past his peak. The world of players and agents is small and it is well known how good it is for a player to be at City these days and that there is no club better. The way in which we look after players, their families and given them the best platform to be successful is second to none.

'Buenos Dias'? It must be something in the water that those connected with Villa drink..

You remind me of a one-time colleague, Sid, who supported 'The Villa' and who was forever mangling the English language with the wrong choice of words, 'Malapropisms' etc.

My favourite was when he'd describe Villa Park as 'the best ground in the country' because 'it's got stigma' (when he meant 'an aura') Despite my attempts to explain his incorrect use of the word, 'stigma' it always remained..

And as for an 'exodus' of City players that Gabby 'Brains Trust' Agbonlahor mentioned, well I'm surprised that one has taken so long to emerge in the media.. I expected it three weeks ago when the recent speculation regarding Pep's future first surfaced!

There's fluoride in the water in Birmingham. That will be it.

 

[Manc Born & Bred]

No surprise this is the headline. For the women they say 'Shaw and Hasegawa on PFA women's award shortlist' rather than Man City's Shaw and Hasegawa...

As for the young player of the year, Dowman played just 153 minutes, Ngumoha managed 551 minutes (the equivalent of a few minutes more than six games) and Mainoo played 1,653 minutes i.e. less than half a season. Shows either the awards are a bit of a joke, there are no decent young players around or the red shirts have to be shoe horned into everything.

 

[Earlyriser]

What it says is everyone has a choice and it's free to listen to, now if they were charging for your custom that's a totally different matter.

Totally true but don't complain about its content

 

[Earlyriser]

Or maybe if someone chooses to complain don't complain about their complaint !!!!!!!

so don't post on the assumption that others might be interested in your poor choice of listening

 

[Pezzer2]

He also wore a PSG shirt live on air on Saturday. It’s all about getting a reaction.

Hence why I haven't listened to it for years. Nothing of substance is reported on that station, its just a platform to wind fan bases up

Clicks and likes equals money sadly.

The Gammon World Cup podcast. Simon Jordan is slightly more right-wing than John Terry.

Title calls out 3 gooners and rag, yet we have TWO players on the list compared to the rags ONE

 

[Gordyola]

For which he's described as "Chief football news reporter".

He's also penned an article about united signing Ederson, where his byline is 'Manchester United reporter'.

Either there are two Simon Stones working at the BBC or they're taking the piss. I know which I think it is.

As sad as I am I complained to the BBC about this they confirmed he was the rag reporter and have been pretty consistent since then They also said the there were other clubs with dedicated staff reporters so I asked for a list unfortunately we got some rag fan from Huddersfield
