Well, the BBC were reporting them as 2nd this morning, billing todays game as 1st v 2nd and were Chelsea serious contenders now they were in second place.

Arsenal feign injuries for sideline manager talks for years and there's not a peep... we do it once and its on all the back pages and headlines.

Yep. Remember when an Arsenal sub got booked for going behind the goal line to tell the keeper to go down

Northcott has the most sycophantic article I've ever read in the Times today and that is saying something.
This is the highlight, last line in parentheses.

An almost assist, no less!

International organisers of a new statistical scouse ego-massaging categories, assemble!

Dippers first up on MOTD - what a shock.

In the States we're stuck listening to Lee Dixon on games. He is so pro Arsenal it's embarrassing. I get he played for them but holy shit is he a hard listen.

Least you ain’t got Rooney who talks with a bag of marbles in his mouth.

even worse considering he's a boyhood blue!

To his credit, I have never heard him say 'we' when referring to arse.

Does anyone know if the paedo protectors have published what the actual house rules are?
I’d really like to know because posting comments about the club bribing officials is scandalous.

I've had no response whatsoever to the appeal I lodged. On a past similar incident I was told the comment was not libellous as it was just a poster's opinion. However they don't say " in my opinion City pay the officials" - they state it as fact. Also one of their house rules is not to post off topic for which you can get your post removed. This comment about City was under an article about Spurs poor recent performances - so totally off topic, but its fine to stay up on the hys...

 

[LesBleuMiserable]

we know the media hate us.

Imagine if one of our players was shagging granny hookers and not Rooney.
Or fucking his sister in law and not Giggs.
Or we have the direct comparison between Mendy and that degenerate who used to play for Arsenal.
The difference in how Mendy was treated was appalling.

The cunts went in on Pep too when he was clearly struggling and he scratched his head up.

They’re scum, they hate us.
This is why we needed our owners to get their hands on the telegraph so we could control the narrative.
Unfortunately it never happened.

Heard shearer argue how Wolves goal last night was rightly ruled out. The fcukin hypocrites.

 

[citymad]

That'll be one of the new stats - 'an almost assist'. And top of the league for almost assists - Rags or Dippers.

You know thats coming don't you ? They're desperate to be top of something.

Can we claim Gvardiol's jump for Foden's winner on Saturday ?

If the officials are that had when we pay them - imagine what they'd be like if we didn't!

Must be true, as Sky news reported today
that Chelski came into the match in 2nd spot.

 

[under the turnstile]

That Nortcott quote? Bloody hell. Anyway it was an almost chance assist and not an almost assist. Whoever was almost going to be on the end of it still had to bag it

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Must be true, as Sky news reported today
that Chelski came into the match in 2nd spot.

First local news this morning in the BBC said the rags moved up to 6th.

*Edit...still saying top 6 at 8.30!!!

It's all just childish bollocks or the media team?

We keep being told how what a wonderful, paragon of virtue checking and rechecking news to verify correctness ....

It's definitely not the case with sport and on occasions when reports have appeared on 'real news' that I've had a bit of inside info on or some in-depth knowledge they just churn out shite as to be fair all media outlets do.

 

[ArniArason]

Another nice article on the beeb this morning about who Arsenal's contenders are after the weekends results. We received approximately 2 sentences and were than cast aside

 

[ArniArason]

Also, according to the beebs coverage of the Premier League today, I don't think we actually played a game. Not a single mention of our game anywhere on the main pages.

Also, every other top 6 team's results have been covered on the beeb radio news this morning, not a single mention that we even played... Clear and obvious
