Its all a bit quiet in the media again that City are bottom of the net spend table this summer, yet again, while United are top. And yet the rags have shown no signs of improving while we're looking as good as ever. What a well run club.

All I hear is that Liverpool have signed no players, whenever they recently signed a £35m sub goalkeeper

But but but, Pep could sign Bravo for £13m and when that didn't work go out and sign Ederson the following year.
 
I’ve been watching Barrow V Derby on Sky Sports +

It’s a shit game and the stream isn’t particularly great either.

But there’s just a commentator on his own, with no co- comms. Every time the ball flies 10 yards over the bar, I’m bracing myself for Keown or Dixon to pipe up with, “He’ll be disappointed with that.”

But nothing. Just silence. Heaven.
I felt the same but great win for the Bluebirds
 
Only watch the match no pre, post or HT. The pundits, who I dot give a damn what they say, are there to pan out the time between adverts which, Im not interested in as well
I Use foreign channels, some of which don't even bother with presenters. Now tv just shows highlights of first half at half time. Others show highlights from the other games or all the goals from past week.

One of the things Keown and his ilk do, is after watching somebody score from 25 yards say "Well,he does have that in his locker", we know, Stig, we've just watched it.

You can put 99% of the shit they all come out with in the “stating the bleeding obvious” category.

Even though he was extremely unlikable, the last one I can remember who used to occasionally come out with observations that weren’t blindingly obvious to a casual fan, was Mark Lawrenson.

Then you've got the old faithful "How can he (a winger) be offside there, he's looking right across the line"?

Less is more.

My favourite at the moment is:

Penalty scored: ‘Never in doubt’
Penalty missed: ‘Never looked confident’

I’m just praying for the day when as they’re preparing to take one, the main commentator says, “Ok captain hindsight, is this one never in doubt or not looking confident? “
 
Where’s that Danish striker they have who was supposed to be the next Haaland? There obsession with trying to emulate City is crippling them, long may it happen.
Don't think it's so bad that the media are now using our players as the benchmark ?
Think most rational pundits see that Rodri & Harland as the current best in (at least the Premier League) their respective positions ?
If they want to put pressure on the new MUFC wonder signing, then let them.
It does rankle though that the media seldom review the car crash signings that the Trafford Tramps have made in the last 12 years...
