Bang right. People, especially managers with backs against the wall and journos with clicks to bait suddenly have opinions on everything from player chest infections to the financial crash when it suits them, but when they're sailing it's all 'I just make the tea and don't have a razor guvnor'

Haha. Enjoyed this. By the way, is that Rooney that Klopp is losing his Klip with?

Sorry, can't see how this warrants this response, sure he's written a shocker there, but City need to be bigger than calls for violence like this no? Liverpool fans might endorse throwing bricks and violence and the like, but not a true blue to my mind. Just my opinion.

I see self appointed sports financial boffin Conn has nailed his colours to the wall just now. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/15/manchester-city-disrespect-uefa-misinformation-sweeping-allegations I used to respect parts of his writing, this has diminished that perception fully.

Chuffed for Aguero but the stats on One Football tell the story of this game: City shots: 19 On target: 1 City really need to add 20% per game of wildcard outside the area shots to mix it up.

Haha. Haven't posted for a while but that autocorrect line I enjoyed a lot :D kudos! I wouldn't disagree that Liverpool have bias refs on occasion, the champs league games being paramount examples, however we just lost to Chelsea, Palace and Leicester back to back and were poor at times in...

Excellent point about destroying the transfer market. Strange sensation the other day enjoying Mourinho calling out Klopp on big spending. Two clubs who get sour as vinegary eggs when anyone else gets a good player ahead of them, yet they're just 'spending what they earnt' when they splash the...

Haha. Nearly lost some of my beer through my nose when I read this just now. Very good. If the City bus had so much as put the rear screen defroster on, UEFA would have fined us, Liverpool on the other hand...well, we'll be seeing more of this from their fans again this season, doubtless. If...

;-D ... But the beauty of it is Pep could *probably* pull this off... the reality is, as you shrewdly note, he'll likely go to utd for new striker coin and Mourinho will turn him into the new Eric Djemba-Djemba spliced with Phil Jones

This one is obvious isn't it? Maguire. All day. Pep could convert him into a defensive midfield animal that wins all the chuffing headers going and cuts most forwards a new one with 60 yard stares that would curdle most attacking midfielders custard before they're even introduced to Stones...

Make or break season for Klopp and Liverpool, (and mourinho and utd too probably), no trophies this year and it's bye bye talent (Salah, Mane) and bye bye Klopp after the money invested over the summer, hopefully thereafter back to the cult and united fighting it out for 4th and 5th.

As an aside, loving that De Bruyne blends loyalty, passion for his club, manager and team mates so eloquently, real future Captain material, first rubbishing Toure's accusatory guff and coming out in support of Pep, and also this piece supporting Stirling. More of a club legend in my eyes...

I'm all for fans around the world enjoying the club and kudos to this guy for cheering City on. Quite how he knows Toure has been such an off field force of positivity and support I don't know. Was he there in the dressing room, or round Sterling's back garden of a weekend? I don't know. But I...

Superb post. In particular the third para that unpicks how Toure (presumably with encouragement from his agent) has carefully knotted his allegations by qualifying them to an such an absurd degree, that it reveals his paranoia and self regard for all to see. Decent footballer, but an alarming...

Totally mesmerising season, savour it my fellow blues, it's one of the best in history, and it should be recalled as such as often as possible! Some, mostly the Scouse cultists and fairweather armchair commentators with selective memories about money and ethics will say otherwise, but we all...

Have the Champions League organisers misplaced it?..

That'd be just lovely. That 10 - 1 was actually the last time a team scored 10 or more in a game (apologies if someone's already posted)

Canny comparison. In a knockout competition like the Big Cup it's always been ripe for WWF style rigging by the fools running it. Harder to orchestrate in the PL over 38 games, not that a few refs haven't tried it a few times this season, which given how fabulously City have roasted the...

Agree. Totally. The lack of perspective in broadcast coverage and hysteria is ridiculous. So much botty guffs, once he's done it for a few years (preferably not at the Cult ;) then fair enough

When you're jammed in a loop reading pages and pages of Blue Moon after a defeat, kudos and fair play to the wittier amongst us for lifting the spirits, this is gold and cheered me up Madloaf. I salute you. Does anyone know the ref for Spurs? Man alive we need a break from the officials, the...
