SSN doing their players of the season, as you would expect with Liverpool winning the league they dominated the awards.

Goalkeeper of the season: Allison
Defender of the season: Van Dijk
Midfielder of the season: Bernardo
Attacker of the season: Mane
Manager of the season: Klopp
Player of the season: Van Dijk

Luckily Sol Bamber offered a few city players / pep as an alternative.

What is wrong with people, sure Mane had a good season and scored a few, and Van Dijk isnt bad but neither are Jordan Ibe.
 
There was a time when i used to care about what media had to say, eagerly following every article etc but stopped caring for it for some time now.

This so much felt like post 2013/2014 title race where it was all about so called Liverpool miracle and not giving the eventual winners due credit they deserved.

Its the same again, "They would have won it in every other season bullshit". What about this season which matters. They put it in a great effort indeed but there was a team which was even better than their best ever effort whether they accept it or not.

To cut it short, media can feck off. We dont need their seal of approval. For those who follow city know fully well this is a Great team which plays football in the right way and throughly entertains in the process.
 
Gary James and Distin on 5 live now
Did it sound okay? Did two interviews today - both with a croaky voice after yesterday. First about 0825 for BBC R4 - that was edited but first question was about the money/buying success. Should be able to listen here https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00051nc (you’ll need to scroll to 825am to get it) and then R5L about 13.15 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000588v#play Again you’ll need to scroll to the right time.
 
The Telegraph reports on City are a bit of a mixed bag. Jason Burt is very complimentary in his report on the game and City in general. Paul Hayward was doing OK until he let slip that City are a "sovereign wealth project" which means he believes City are owned by a country rather than a private equity company with no access whatsoever to a sovereign wealth fund.

Then there is a pictorial listing by somebody called Charlie Eccleshare on the "Ten key moments that helped decide the title". Those involving City include Vinny should have been red carded v Liverpool, Southampton should have had a penalty with score at 1-1 at St Marys, City "on the ropes" and "riding their luck" v Spurs at home, and Lamela and Iheanacho missing late sitters with City leading 1-0.

Those involving Liverpool include them being denied a penalty (oh, the irony) when Keita went down in the box v Leicester as well as the Vinny incident. No mention of the opposition goalkeeping howlers, the offside goals being allowed to stand, the serial penalty dives by Salah and Mane and the Fabinho dive for the free kick that led to the winner at Newcastle without which City would have effectively been confirmed as champions last Monday evening.
