Always thought he suits podcasts more than TV anyway. He doesn't talk or think in cliches, and is all the smarter when given time and space to explore and expand on his ideas.

Brilliant 10/10I did this because it tickled me. Might get it printed on a t-shirt for next season and I don't know where else to post it.

River Deansgate.
You've missed the 4th river of Manchester from the badge.
River Deansgate.
Thought the 2 presenters were terrible and and I find it incredible that they're still in a job. When the players came onstage they didn't know what to say or ask them. It was pathetic. Unplanned, unprepared and unprofessional.
Seen a few people arguing they should be binned. Yeah lets ignore the whole year of work they do every match day for the club website and cityTV, and get them canned for a daft question pre-written for them, about a Manchester band in front of a huge Manchester crowd.
I agree btw, that was an odd and totally pointless question and badly timed. Show went on though.

Don't think people quite realize how much the marketing department and club, from Pep down, would fucking LOVE for Oasis to do a reunion and 10 nights at the Etihad because City won the treble. Like can you imagine? Of course she fucking asked. What is she doing to ask, "explain how the Stones diamond played out in the second half?".Seen a few people arguing they should be binned.

Those of you who have seen my posts recently know about my mum...
But i want to say quickly I got to the parade, got my son out of school early and made sure mum ok and left her in good hands, and I took my son to his first parade. He was very excited, got what I thought would be great spot, quite near the start, front row, he planned to stand on his step stool (age 6) and wave his homemade trophy at the players. That was 4.20pm!
Then when it was too late to move 3 idiots thinking just of themselves stood next to us, stood on the barriers... He couldn't see now..
Skip forward to the rain.. His excitement lessened but still ok, but then when it got so dark and the strong thunder he was crying badly and saying when can we go home. My heart was broken. Other kids nearby were crying too by that point. I feel like such a failure of a mum.
Then the bus finally started, through his tears he waved his homemade foil trophy, those selfish selfish men next to us who could see quite well standing normally were not only stood on the barrier but leaning so far forward he saw nothing until the bus was right in front. And then in pot luck not a single player looked down and only good old Ruben was in view. I know that bits a gamble, but it's the selfish twats next to us that get me...
Then he cried and set off towards the car with his dad, and I failed again in the mum of the year comp by legging it after the bus.
I got to see it again in a bottleneck near booth street, absolutely drowned , and crushed, lots of families gave up and pushed back to get out. Then as the bus came 4 adults in front put 4 more adults in their shoulders much to the groans of everyone around. But, had a cracking view of erling and ruben topless saving trophies around, so I was happy. Really felt the moment.
Then as walking away ended up trapped in a crowd that suddenly got pushed sideways by the police, a ton of people being shoved into those of us already stood, and it was because the bus turned and was coming despite no street barriers. Crushed and leaning diagonal, but don't get me wrong I had a cracking view and lost myself into the feel of it and soaked thru to the skin chanted and pointed and just felt it. Happy. One of those moments where you forget your shit and are just caught in the moment.
It will be the last time I feel that pure joy for a long while.
As today my mum is worse, and is very likely to not make it to weekend. My world is gone.

Maybe Pike, maybe the PR team, but I don't think Pep, the club ot anyone else would care. I get what they thought with the context for the question, but it was badly timed.
Pep avoided answering, he either doesn't want it, or doesn't care. Either is good enough for me. Given their own views on Oasis ans City, I'd rather they never re-united.
