Absolutely brilliant 1894 and doffs cap to you all.

But it is brother. Well not quite but I’m doing it to every dipper I come across on Facebook.
As an analogy it’s a bit like Weedkiller on weeds.

I've been doing my bit too. The responses are as predictable as they are pathetically stupid. "All banks launder money" is a standard response.

I wonder if Cocky Locky is Miguel Delaney?. Turkey Lurkey has got to be Dan Roan; Goosey Loosey has a passing resebemelence to Ollie Holt.

As I’ve stated previously, Ity fans are fighting b k across social media.

Perhaps NASA apparel wasn’t the best choice to wear when going in an anti-American tirade!

After reading that Herbert had described our owners as ‘interlopers’ I thought I’d check out the definition as I wasn’t completely sure what it meant.

Herbert clearly wasn’t either. ‘Unwanted or considered not to belong’.

I don’t think it’s too much to say our owners are loved by the fans. And as for ‘considered not to belong’, I suggest this says more about what he thinks about ‘brown faces’ rather than what we do.

We should all light candles.

That would really take the piss.
Most fans of opposing teams would know why it was being done - but would the media acknowledge it and explain it to their readers/viewers/listeners in New Jersey etc ?

You are giving Simon Jordan way too much credit. At no point does Jordan come across as intelligent, if he did he would engage his brain before opening his mouth, and no one's seen this. That's the sign of someone with at least a mediocre of intelligence.

His role is to create antagonistic content that feeds into social engagement, which he does very well judging by the reactions. That's his job and what he gets paid to do, he isn't there to be a full time expert and considered voice.
It seems clear to me from seeing his output in other contexts that he's playing to the cameras as described in his job description.

He spends a lot of time writing about City supporters yet has the majority of us blocked.

Yet when City supposedly sent those solicitors letters to journalists they cried that it was trying to stifle free speech. You can't have free speech if you constantly block people who question your opinions.

Well you're entitled to your opinion, I understand that is what Talk Sport want, but I think you are giving him way too much credit.

He comes across as quite sensitive to criticism, has an ego and clearly doesn't like being wrong, hence his frequent rewriting/and spin on what he has said, before he fully understands things. If he understood the issues discussed fully , but was just being provocative as you suggest, why would he back track? So I believe he fits the bill by accident more than design.

Either way I have little time for him and only tune in to listen to Projectriver.

Never A Straight Answer ;-)
