Journos should be like VAR…you can’t “referee” your hometown heroes, because of the inherent bias!!

Drummond, Sheffield: Hi Simon, who's your vote for Manager of the season? Surely Unai Emery is the favourite with what he's achieving.

Emery has to be right up there Drummond. He has done a superb job at Aston Villa, taking them to the brink of a Champions League place also still in contention for the Europa Conference League.

Pep Guardiola could become the first manager to take a team to four successive top flight titles and could be the first to do the domestic double in successive seasons, which is not without merit.

And Mikel Arteta could win the title.

Looking further down the list, if either Luton or Burnley stay up, that would reflect really well on Rob Edwards and Vincent Kompany while, given they have been battling with clubs receiving parachute payments, Kieran McKenna has done phenomenally well to take Ipswich to the brink of promotion.

So, let me get this right you bitter piece of shit rag bastard.

Achieving 4 titles in a row for the first time in English football history and a double double for the first time in English football history is not without merit? Not without fucking merit? The greatest achievement in the history of English football is NOT WITHOUT MERIT? Are you fucking kidding me? Insulting the mans achievement in a flippant throw away sentence. A sentence paid for by the fucking BBC and its licence paying public. Totally inappropriate and totally out of order belittling of Pep, our club and the City of Manchester.

More appropriate use of that term would include...it's not without merit that Sir Fish Fingers didn't kill a pedestrian when speeding down Carrington Lane...it's not without merit that Slur Alex didn't shit on a hedgehog when dumping his load in a Cheshire layby...it's not without merit that Greenwood didn't strangle his GF to death in his torrent of domestic abuse...it's not without merit that Boris recycled his wine bottles after the illegal hosting of his C19 party.

Not without fucking merit, you absolute bellend.

One day a Blue will knock this condescending prick into next week and I hope to be there to see it. Again, again & again. Fuck off Stone.

Thanks for listening.

License Payer Manchester: Simon, Man Utd are a mid table PL with no CL football next season and no prospect of winning the PL in the foreseeable future. Will you going on your annual jolly to cover their meaningless preseason friendlies, at our expense?

Interesting 'City bending the rules" piece by Herbert in Mail on Line.
Almost like he's disappointed not to have received his letter yet.

If it was hairdoo rather than perm writing that, I might believe it.

Well I was right about the dips blowing up.... hopefully a good sign ;)

Not about City, but shows how when it's about them, there is always a positive spin put on it. "Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to turn the club back into challengers for major honours."

If this was us it would be such a negative story about how the club is in meltdown etc

The 'Bus Welcome's' at the CB entrance have proven to be very popular.

We need to organise a 'Press Welcome' for esteemed members of the fourth estate to demonstrate our appreciation of their work in motivating our club.

Several of them park in the CFA & walk to the press entrance at the right hand side of CB reception.

A warm back slapping, head patting,fist bumping Manchester thank you is well deserved and should be well supported.

Smoke flares and pyrotechnics are welcome as are bags of flower and water.

It could even be reported accurately.

Get on board, the feeling of liberation will be liberating !!

Piers Morgan sounding over confident on Talksport( yes I know)

Said last week we wouldn't win all five remaining games. Said this week we wouldn't all four remaining games. I can see a pattern forming here.

Also as sure as eggs are eggs sky sports app buries the klopp/salah fallout half way down the stories.

Come to think of it, it probably isn't big news as Liverpool are shite and the pair of them are off at the end of the season. It's still big news either way.

This is a bloke who proudly proclaims the first game he attended was watching them in an f.a. cup final and started supporting them after they won that game.

 

[Rochdale Blue]

The online football team has been acting with bad faith in its City coverage for many years. There is a cultural problem in that department and it has still not been tackled. They have just appointed a new Director of Sport but I don't think things will improve. The online comments section has become a cauldron of hate dominated by trolls with very weak Editorial control. It is difficult to justify it as an appropriate use of taxpayers' money.

I'm sure BBC verify or whatever their department of truth is called will sort them out.
