Match of the Day - 2018/19

[The perfect fumble]

Klopp is such a bellend. Be embarrassed if he were our manager.

He's made for the Dippers.

We've been lucky with Bobby, Pellers and Pep, all very different but all classy.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Here we go. Murphy says "Chelsea deserved some credit".

I nearly fell off my f*cking chair.

There is only ONE NARRATIVE that the media AND THE PREMIER LEAGUE want, and that is Liverpool winning their first PL. The Asian market will love it, 30th anniversary of Hillsborough, Klopp and heavy metal football, even City and their FFP violations couldn’t stop them, Salah came through yet again, surely his chancer against Chelseais Goal of the Season, VVD has to be POTY, etc, etc, etc.

At some point, surely someone will step back, out it all into some context and realize that there is so much bollocks being spewed that it is absolutely disrespectful of what City have already achieved, and are still achieving, this season. Pep has been class, the players have been class, Sterling has highlighted a continuing problem with the game and brought it to the fore, and yet there is literally ZERO RESPECT for what City have done and are seeking to do this season.

Last season, we won the last 5 games to win the League with 100pts and completely out of sight of all comers. Had that been United or Liverpool, we would still be hearing about this every week, especially given what we are doing this season. However, beating Chelsea at home (and not 6-0, I might add!) appears to have given everyone the opportunity to crown them Champions this weekend. NBCSN’s Arlo White, perhaps the most OTT hyperbolic commentator ever, immediately called Salah’s goal the Goal of the Season, yet had a 60 pulse and 100/60 blood pressure as Hazard hit the post and fluffed his shot from 7 yards out in the few minutes after that! I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that they did their last Game Day celebration at Boston Red Sox Park (Fenway Sports Group’s home!) and they were dreaming themselves the whole day about Liverpool.

The whole Liverpool love-in has gone so far beyond nauseating, and has now been cranked up to 11. I hope we fucking stuff them for the League and the CL, although we have BY FAR the harder run in, the harder QF draw and second leg, and just as hard of a SF if we get there, not to mention the FA Cup final.

COME ON, CITY!!!

That’s all down to the owner. Remember that. Classy all the way.

This all day. Great post and from the heart. Up the Blues

Sky called it goal of the season, match of the day doing the same after showing in my opinion at least 3 better strike's in the march goal of the month.
Everything dippers is better than everything else, deluded the lot of them ( Jason Mohammed big Cardiff fan won't be part of the cult next Sunday especially if they turn Brighton over in the week).

He'll still be a ****, though.

They showed the Hazard chances but brushed over them basically ignoring the fact that Liverpool were extremely lucky, again.

 

[Franny's toilet roll]

Good to see MOTD feature Salah's dive , but Murphy still couldn't bring himself to criticise him, Think they both said he had every right to go down a there was a touch. Fcuk me he should have been booked. Great display for the 96 on the KOP Looking forward to the Juve commemoration . Hate the way this club and supporters have turned a tragedy into a marketing promotion. Bradford, Bolton, Rangers much more class. Where would the dippers be without Hillsborough?

I agree with what you say but why would people realise at any point that the media are setting the narrative - the masses don't realise they're being led by the nose politically so why would they know in a sport and you, being in America, should know that better than most.
