Who do you think you are; Haaland?

 

[Norbiton]

The law wasn’t changed but it was clarified about 10 years ago that you cannot be in an offside position if you are actually on the half way line. You must be in the opposition half.

Ah, but does all of you have to be in the opposition half or just a toenail?

I only read about that daft Chelsea player singing that about Alfie's lad this morning. :-)

I wouldn't last in such illustrious company. :-)

Well it was Alex Scott who rarely seems to have a good word to say for us. Although I notice she’s started to pronounce her t’s at last. Might have been having elocution lessons!

Always the school teacher, Eccles

When do they start crying about us making the league boring again?

Just got this removed on BBC. IT was the top rated comment

How sad you really are. I thought it was as funny as fuck. I`d hate to be out with you as you must be a barrel of laughs.

Is the halfway line safe onside territory? The line is part of the area it encloses, and the halfway line encloses both halves. I suspect it's the opposition half when we're attacking so we're off, and the opposition half when we're defending, so they are on!

I thought if an attacking player was in the opposite half alone he was offside, I guess if he is on the line he could be called in his own half but nowadays he couldn't stray a mm over the line or he would be off lol

it is a fair comment but try making a joke about the rags and it is gone, and never ever mention self pity and scousers in the same sentence or Starmer will be sending the boys around.

I can`t undertsand all this "you can`t say this,that,`tother as its not nice about our club".
Really is about time some people got their priorities right with all the shit thats happening in the UK.
Boo hoo don`t take the piss out of my club. Fucking embarrassing.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

Fjortoft always seemed pro united, and a bit anti city to me, but he seems to have mellowed a bit since Haaland joined

115 has now become accepted as "normal" language and just a bit of fun and banter. Many people just refer to City as "115 . I don't regard it as acceptable never mind funny.

You are correct. It is now accepted as normal.
In her match report on yesterday's game, Alyson Rudd of The Times shoehorned this into the very last paragraph:
"Meanwhile, anyone who doubts that Guardiola has the appetite for yet another campaign especially with the phantom of the 115 charges that loiter in the shadows and could result in a significant points deduction,"

Why? It has no relevance to the game or her match report whatsoever. However, it is clear that in her thinking, a reference to the 115 charges cannot be omitted. It is now obligatory.

Yep, I know it is Alyson Rudd, but it is now standard on any article, in virtually any newspaper or media coverage of City.

Always comes across as fair, I'm sure he is on one of the US channels doing football and talks a good game as well.

Does my head in people who can`t take a joke and they say us FOC are miserable bastards.

 

[oakiecokie]

No doubt that will upset ... some City fans. ;)

Sterling is getting slated from Chelsea fans on Talk sport, one guy said he's the worst player to play for them in 10 seasons. Ouch!
