I've checked. Apparently, there's still something called a 'bottom half of the table'..? Who knew?

This is the real reason for their toys going flying out of the pram. For the first time, they have lost out to a nouveau riche non-G14 club. (Messi at Miami was different for all sorts of reasons). When luring the next (for arguments sake) Bellingham or even Alexander Arnold, they can no longer...

I have nothing against the use 9f technical terms and, being a bit of a literary nerd, quite enjoy learning new words. Jonny-boy already know this but for the benefit ofanyone who might be swayed by his pseudo-intellectual babble, "discomfort displacement" isn't actually a thing. Discomfort is...

Well said. If we hadn't won the lottery with our owners, that banner would still be up. Never forgive. Never, ever forget.

This is what he should do. It would however require a modicum of class that was sadly lacking in the Premier League's response (presumably issued at his instruction) to the APT case. Imagine the tone of the conversation around the APT result if, instead of bullish nonsense, the PL had begun its...

Couldn't agree more. Did any of us celebrate Dickov's goal any less wildly than Aguero's? I know I didn't. Does the fact the Aguero moment happened in any way detract from Dickov's equaliser? I'd argue, if anything, it enhances its importance. Equally, if we had never prospered afterwards...

Arsemal are the Atletico Madrid of English football. Outwardly pompous but forever nursing a bitterness borne of repeated failure to live up to their own grand expectations. This bitterness colours everything the club sets its mind to, from the boardroom to the football foield. It manifests...

On the telly, it looks like a training bib over the shirt.

I have no doubt that some no-mark wannabe hack is already using this post as a basis to pen 800 words on an article with the suggested headline, 'The Shocking Precedent that Could See Manchester City Put Out of Business'

I don't know. After even the most cursory glance at today's headlines - and indeed Boris before Keir and the behaviour of the rest of his lot in selling contracts during Covid or the Post Office Scandal or Greenfell or Hillsborough etc etc, a fella might be forgiven should he conclude the...

True. I think it was Brecht who said, nobody ever founded a newspaper without an agenda.

Yep. If The Spectator- which let's face it, is no more than Tory wank mag - can sell for £100m, then there must be some life I'm the newspaper industry.

Deepest sympathies, Vienna.

Kinda dilutes the whole "sportswashing" accusation, doesn't it?

From the outside looking in, this "story" about Carsley singing the national anthem may have the whiff of yet another manufactured controversy drummed up by the organ grinding media to excite impressionable monkeys but, in fairness, the predictable reaction from that peculiar breed of...

I imagine they feel it's better to have him inside the tent pissing out than the other way around because that's got to be hush money at this stage. I came across a post-match interview on Twitter with Schmeichel earlier today where he whined about sitting through the game with Sore Alex and...

It's an acronym for their pain Feeling Every City Kick.

Can't be true. Nobody watches City. A fella on RAWK reckons the sheikh bought 694 million sports channel subscriptions... and the more I think about it, I'd say that's definitely what happened.

You certainly cain. :-D

Also, the reason I unfollowed Sam Lee and stopped taking his reports seriously. The 'take" was nothing more than an insidious attempt at creating a new form of Citywhackery. Quite frankly, it disgusted me. I thought at the time (and still do) that this was a dog whistle comparison to...
