Why don't they rename bbc football to something like As rags we stand.

They do a weekly score prediction where they get a celebrity to make predictions. This week it's Olly Murs who is a typical plastic, glory hunting Essex Rag.
Either every celeb going is a rag or they search for them. It's beyond pathetic.

Two incidents at the tail end of that season during to mind for me. The first was the Sunderland home game, I was on AFC Fylde at their old ground, when the news came through City were 1 3 down late in the game. Reaction in the crowd was City have blown it. As I was coming out of the ground an old chap covered in Busby Babes and George Best memorabilia was almost in tears moaning City had equalised late on and got a draw. I thought you silly old sod one point won't make any difference, but of course it did, always think it was that point won us the title.
A few weeks later United played Everton on a Sunday and we were at Wolves. I was in Keswick and having a drink in the Dog and Gun ( great beer and even better goulash) and got talking to a United fan. A bloke passed with a radio and he asked him the score from OT, on being told 4 4 he said to me he'd no need to be sarcastic. Well then I thought let's see what happens at Wolves. The owner of the B n B we were staying at was a Wolves fan he was stood outside looking happy. Oh God I said you've won, no he said but we're down now and you might stop those bastards winning another title. I confess at the time I just felt relief the rags couldn't win the title at our place as I'd given up after the Arsenal match. Still my favourite season

I was in a pub in Wednesbury on a coach travelling to Molineux. The Sky coverage kept going down so it was TV, radio, TV, radio and when Everton kept scoring the pub erupted. It really felt as though the floor was going to collapse.

It was always going to be used.
If they was romping the league it would have been for Jota and if they was struggling, like the are, then Jota dying was the cause.

Shame on granada reports for doing it.

It’s a very weird programme Granada Reports, very pro dipper. I don’t know why they film it in media city they should have done with it and move the studios to Merseyside.

Where you staying at Mere Lodge BB, Hawkshead?
I've delivered there and the owner was a big Wolves fan.
 
The other oddity of that 2011-2012 season was Newcastle at home-apart from the chips running out-we kicked towards the north stand in the first half for the only time all season.
