Same again on Saturday if we win the domestic fucking treble, the one that nobody has ever managed. Forgot about on Sunday as they'll be busy wanking over the scousers in the build up to the champs league final.

same again today.

I don't normally watch these debate programmes on Sky, but caught one last night with Dion Dublin, Liam Rosenior & Emma Hayes, the Chelsea Women's team manager, and thought all three spoke well. All spoke of their admiration of Pep and how he always improves players and Rosenior talked about how he was sat near Pep on Sunday when Pep got annoyed with Silva (spanish variety) for giving the ball away, even though we were 4-1 up and the title was ours.

Amongst all the trash papers, you can always rely on the Daily Fail.

And as usual, any positives are always followed by negatives. It’s a narrative that has been obvious since Sheikh Mansour bought the club.

Ian Ladyman.

Good stuff. I think I've heard Rosenior once or twice.

Still a match to go though - can't let the senior players slack off!

Were all over the BBC Football page now....

Naturally it's about the ban over winning trophies.

No link, but you know the line and the narrative taken by BBC Sport.

However, according to one well-placed source, a final decision is yet to be made by chief investigator Yves Leterme.

The former Belgian prime minister, chairman of the investigatory panel of Uefa's independent financial control board, is set to make a recommendation this week.

With no vote in such cases, the final say lies with him but several of his colleagues are understood to have firmly expressed the view at a recent meeting that a season-long ban would be a suitable punishment if City are found guilty. (more of the article at British Biased Sport)

City win the league and there's hardly a mention on the BBC. This is now the lead story on the home page.
