Probably because it’s filmed about two months in advance They very rarely mention any current affairs, sports or otherwise.

Correct, I'm hoping the post you're replying to was drink fuelled :(

Coronation St tonight all about pride, great keep things topical in the Manchester soap, however no reference to the treble when it happened. Paul and Aadi self confessed blues , neither of the characters mentioned the greatest moment in their clubs history. In fairness no reference to the rags either from the cuckold Kev or simpleton Kirk. End the farce of Weatherfield County and get the characters follow Manchester football. They should have had several street residents off to Wembley for the cup final, but passed without a word. How can the soap ignore such a huge part of the City's culture ?

Probably filmed a bit before our treble triumph, I'd guess. I know you're only posting this in jest though pal

Is Ladyman part of Greenwood's PR team?

The next 'Harry Kane'. (fucking insane journalism)

Take responsibility for your own actions. Don’t rape and assault people. No sympathy at all for this vile human being, he is lucky that the his other half didn’t move forward with going to court. He could have lost a lot more than his football career in going to prison.

I am reassured that Sly Sports weren’t just having a dig at us during the Burnley game.

But one of the most boring elements of football discourse nonetheless: just cover the fucking game.

I stopped watching about 25 years ago as it seemed to be moving away from manc humour !

Not yet, Chelsea were the pariahs until we started winning things. When they do it for Liverpool and United, then i'll be a little more convinced. But like you say its juvenile football banter, considering where Luton came up from, half the entire football league have probably spent more.

That's because half the cast are from Yorkshire.

City v Leicester 11/11/1967. My mates and I got in the Kippax early and saw them filming. The cast clustered behind the goal in the otherwise largely empty scoreboard and and cheered and jumped about on command from the producer. Then they left while there were still only a few thousand inside the ground. City won 6-0 and two or three of the goals were shown when the scene appeared on TV.

Yet strangely at least half the cast of Emmerdale are Mancs/Lancs.

 

[burning blue soul]

Spot on. A few years ago I saw a stat that gave the number of people in the UK who liked the rags as 12% and the number who hated them as 88% and I can well believe that.

Outrage sells. The public are played like a fucking violin.

Didn't know Hillary Clinton was a fan.

 

[DontLookBackInAnger]

more people hate the rags than like them but that doesn't stop the papers sucking them off all the time

I think in the case of United, as the MEN found out they have a very big stick and are a great deal more powerful than we are. We aren't as powerful and also unpopular, its not a great combination!

Which really makes Coronation Street a much better option.

They've used a huge tin of whitewash on MOTD tonight and we are only 30 mins in! Good job the dippers aren't on or else someone would have to visit B&Q.
