Who wants to tell him?

Did we not finish second in those years?

 

[Maddog]

Who's the guy that asks the first three or four questions at each of Pep's press conferences and why does he get to go first every time?

I was thinking that.

We did. If that is what you were getting at, I misunderstood your post. I thought you were saying we actually won the league in those seasons. Humble apologies.

I assume he’s from Sky - because they pay so much for the TV rights they get to go first! It used to be James Cooper but not sure who’s asking the questions now.

Sky sports headline .."joint top Manchester United go to Liverpool on Saturday..."
I can't stop laughing. Surely that means Tottenham are really 2nd and not 3rd and everybody moves up a place?
I await the headline of second place Tottenham entertain Bournemouth.

Haha no worries mate, my sarcasm doesn't translate very well on here.

 

[Chris in London]

Well its good to know that second place wins you the league now.

Any scouser could have told you that

Probably me just being paranoid, but I'm starting to notice more and more subtle thinly veiled digs are other teams/players/managers, or shameless promotion of pro Rag stories in the BBC Sport Media output.

I suspect that if we carry on the way we are going, especially if the rags can more or less keep pace with us, what you have seen so far will be the very small tip of a very big iceberg

Granada reports covering the Kenny Dalglish Stand,fair enough great player.Now out of all the many goals he scored in a wonderful career,who do you think they showed him scoring against?..............................

 

[bigstanhibbert]

This from the MUEN.


Two amazing Manchester United stats that have made them title contenders
Man Utd have surged to the top of the Premier League - where they are level with Man City.

To be fair he probably scored more against us than any other team.

Subtle ?
Thinly veiled ?

The scum?

Do you not recall the joint title celebrations of 2012? For shame...

I recall Sky, MOTD etc wetting their knickers about Utd "going joint top" on December 26th 2010 - and being told by celebrating rags all around me in the pub "to just look at the table" that proved our challenge for the title. "was fucked now".
I tried explaining that if the season ended with the table as it was that day, that we would be champions on goal difference. Naturally, being the thick fucks they are, they weren't having any of it.
It took another week + five months, 13 days, 93 minutes and 20 seconds before the blunt force of the maths eventually pierced their sense of entitlement.

Yet, here we are, less than half a decade after such a bitter lesson for them - and they are, once more, evidently ignoring the hard truth and lapping up the very same Kool-Aid from the very same sources. They really are thick fucks.

Still no news on the BBC about who is manager of the month.

 

[Logan91]

Just flicking through SkySports and see Klopp is sat in a sky studio analysing every refereeing decision he’s opposed this season with Jamie Carragher.

Imagine if Pep got to do that last season and analyse every bent decision that was given against us. It’d be a five hour f*****g programme!

Sky wouldn’t give Pep the opportunity to tear the referees a new one anyway, just weird that they’re allowing klopp to do so.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Still no news on the BBC about who is manager of the month.

No Fred, but there is currently a caption calling him disrespectful( re the Kane team comment), ..........wankers.

 

[bluealf]

Just sent the beeb a little message through their feedback section.

Big news today, the premier league have issued the new manager of the month award.

Now I know Jose hasn't won it or you would have had 17 articles on your main page about it.

I see that Pep won it this month and so far you have decided not to bother reporting it, very strange for the impartial news agency that you claim to be.

It isn't even subtle anymore.

Good day to you.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Subtle ?
Thinly veiled ?

For instance the picture on their front page today was a composite of Lumpkaku and Coutinho. The lump was in the foreground looking all smug, and Courtinho was lurking in the background looking shifty. Also, there were some pretty unflattering picture of Kliperty doing the full Phil Jones.
