Bears a passing resemblence to our old mate Mr Sporting Intelligence

Most teams get increasingly disheartened playing the dippers because they know the ref's are going to give them sweet fuck all. It's as if teams turn up knowing they're screwed before a ball is kicked, so they simply go through the motions. Vain Dick has punched and kicked his way through so many games this season but he's above the law, or so it seems, and Salah and Manè must be on first name terms with every blade of grass in the opponents penalty areas such is the frequency with which they meet up.

Under the pisscan the rags got away with pretty much anything, it now seems the dippers have inherited that right.

this is pretty much bang on....the ref's in Europe don't seem to be as weak & fall for their bullshit....well at least not this season......

I don’t know if it’s bad or wrong but I haven’t been this happy in a long time.

I'll just leave this here....



Just in case you haven't seen it yet.

I watched it this morning. Littlewoods were going through for around three minutes (Firmino, 94, Llorente's first, 97).

What a fantastic evening, and funnily enough, the Littlewoods' fans in work were very quiet today.

I thought Savic was very poor to watch last night. In the first quarter of the game all he did was smash the ball to nobody. Simple five yard passes were on and all he did was leather it anywhere or four times he smashed it to a player that was miles offside. His lack of composure meant it was eave after wave of attack v defence.

For the rest of the game he just headed balls that were on his head, made tackles that were around him and volleyed anything away that was near his foot.

Every one of City’s defenders is a better footballer than Savic and looking at his actual football ability he’d be fortunate to ever get in a match day squad under Pep.

Like Pep said on his very first interview as City manager; [*paraphrased, can’t remember the exact wording*] “it’s easy to get a team organised and defend deep, it’s the easiest way to play football. But it takes a lot of time to learn the way I play football and not all players can do it or understand it.”

All of City’s defenders could play well in that deep defensive unit with players around them every few yards to help picked up headers and miskicks.

That’s my argument about van Dijkhead. Yes, he’s a very good defender, but he always has two or three defensive midfielders in front of him.

Put him in our system to see how good a centre-back he really is.

I've just managed to sit through a few brief highlights courtesy of BT - OMFG!! A more obsequious, fawning, subservient collection of biased fuckers I've never encountered in my existence. I thought the BBC were the biggest dipper anus-lickers in world football, but BT have stolen their crown...and some. They sound like malfunctioning androids with their pro-dipper/anti-everyone else sermonising. They are supposed to be impartial and report only the salient incidents as and when they occur. But that was no way the case last night: it was like a party political broadcast on behalf of the Varpool Party. Truly fucking nauseating. McPointy (I assume it was him, sounded like the prick) was almost in tears when the last goal went in ("He's offside...he's offside...he's offside!" No, he fucking wasn't, you repulsive, hubcap-stealing piece of solidified pus).

When I watched it this morning, it sounded like McManamanamanaman said, "He’s onside!"

Worth a watch....
