Just after 6 on Talkshite they were gushing about Leicester but bemoaning the fact they would not play any famous names. I would happily take their draw for an easy passage to the next stage.
Cue a couple Leicester fans welcomed on to the programme to talk about honeymoons etc with me shouting at the car radio 'FFS who have City got'! Eventually they gave City's draw as 'Pep v his old club'and played this up. Plus the 'Battle of Britain; which of course the media generally will big up to suit their own purposes.
Then a City fan came on and said he was fed up of the 'excluded rules' which mean that City play the same teams every year. To me this should have opened a discussion of how the rules mean that certain teams cannot play each other, the seeding, even fixing and the way the whole CL show is run to make certain clubs and the TV people lots of money.
Oh no - the caller was quickly cut off as Gough and some other cunut launched into 'typical City fans, always moaning, not long ago they were playing Gillingham and now they moan about Barca' and the Battle of Britain etc etbloodycetra. It was a complete misrepresentation of that the caller had to say in the few words he was allowed to say.
They repeated this theme for the rest of the hour saying loads of tweets about City fans were coming in - though they never quoted a single one, before they got onto 'Dom', an alleged 'City' fan who did have a local accent and was warmly welcomed as he had go at City fans for not being delighted at the draw before complaining about the booing of the UEFA anthem and the 'negative treatment' of Sterling by City fans. He was warmly thanked and praised for being a fair City fan before being sent on his way back to Trafford.
He was plainly a plant but why do City fans ever ring Talkshite at all? They make themselves into fodder for pillocks who press a cut off button and then come out with a load of lies.
