Shearer sounded very bitter about the goals lol

Yip he was a disgrace at HT but by the time the penny dropped and he realised Newcastle weren’t going to make an amazing comeback,at FT he was quite complimentary along with lineker ..

Not quite the media I know but if you want to read a textbook on abject bitterness see this long-running Sad Cafe thread. I mean, who wouldn't want to watch kamikaze/delf-destruction football every week?

Do you find Man City (and other Pep teams) boring?

I still vividly remember reading this thread 2 years ago as I completely agreed with the OP, and still do. City are a winning machine, but unlike our multiple rapid winning machines under Fergie, they are an absolute eyesore. I knew they would beat Newcastle today but I also knew that the game...

Biggest sporting event in the world ever today apparently.

Ten Hag Titans V Klopps Commanders.

The edging of both sides is palpable on 5Live.

"Top reporters" these days spend their life cutting and pasting content from various Internet forums and posting it on their personal Twitter feeds. Most articles are based on a pre-determined narrative which produces the most online clicks. Fact-checking does not come into it.

They remind me of Los Llorones ,a theme in Mexico's Day of the Dead. The emphasis on the weeping children after a death in the family. Of course it is only a small step from weeping children to cry babies which sums them up succinctly.

Newcastle have been on the beach for a while. They must know Howe is a dead man walking

Bore off you fucking midget!

Two great former Champion teams playing each other today in an FA Cup quarter final. How these 2 teams have stumbled down to such lows is hard to understand, given that they were champions so recenlty, and now, all they can do is yearn for their past riches, and enviously look on as City continue to sweep all before them.

Anyway, enough about Chelsea v Leicester - it's followed by the swamp-dwellers hosting the bin-dippers at 3.30!

Absolute rubbish, totally fair and unbiased commentary. Don’t know what some people see or hear sometimes, seriously

Danny Murphy was fair and unbiased! Ok then and I'm king fucking tut.

The gist of this garbage is that Pep didn’t want Phillips but he was signed by the club to prevent him signing for a rival, and we basically broke him for nefarious financial reasons during a ”torrid“ eighteen months.

Is Kalvin Phillips an unfortunate victim of football’s cold economic reality? | Jonathan Wilson

Midfielder, out of form and the England squad, needs to get back to playing regularly after torrid 18 months at City

Next week the 32 players Rags signed they didn’t want but signed to stop them coming to City…..

 

[give it to gordon]

Am I the only one who couldnt give a fuck what ex players or so called journalists write or say ? Yes when I'm abit bored I play the game of 'try to get a post not removed by the bbc' lol. I do it for a laugh to pass the time of day.

I am able when watching City on the box to blank out the commentators, it's just a back ground noise. Sometimes I turn turn sound off if I csnt blank it out.

I dont need some 3rd party to tell me what i have just seen, am an adult. I am watching the pl team in history, living the dream.

The press/media are stuck in the 90's along with the pl, I live in the now.
