Here's the Guardian's team of the season;

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...eason-ederson-firmino-manchester-city-burnley

Two Burnley CBs. Robertson at LB. And Doucoure in as DM. Hmm.

Liverpool fan.

Liverpool fan.

Doesn't explain some of his other decisions. I can understand bias (though journalists should try to show objectivity in their articles).

Liverpool fan.

Robertson! how many games has he played!

 

[cadds92]

Robertson! how many games has he played!

Only started to shine from the start of 2018.

Laughable that no City forward player is in that team.

Son, Doucouré and the Burnley CB’s.

Good grief.

 

[jimharri]

Robertson! how many games has he played!

According to this;

18 PL games this season.

Son has been excellent for Spurs this season. Way ahead of Alli, in my opinion.

 

[SilverFox2]

Yeah, but the refs actually *are* biased against us...

Seemingly not trusted at the world cup in Russia as well.

The Guardian journos hate us because we spend "oil money" that "we haven't earned" from "human rights abusers" on footballers instead of being shit like when they were glory hunting rag fans. It's rag sycophancy hiding behind liberal bullshit.

Then the cycle continues. Talk sport speak crap, get good listening figures, so carry on speaking crap. If everyone is happy listening to that, why do we have people moaning about it?

and I am sure they look in on various fans forums, when they tell the advertisers that BM has an entire thread dedicated to the station and it attracts new posts every day, the advertisers happily spend money knowing they have an audience. If all the people who listen and say it is shit stopped listening then things might change but until they do Talksport will continue to deliberately wind up fans to please advertisers.

Edit: Sorry Frank you have already covered this, I am a few pages behind !

We got four out of 11 - the most of any team in the league. It could have been worse but still totally laughable.

It's one writer's opinion and he says he knows folk will disagree. But who else from City should be in there? Sane for Salah? Probably not. Aguero for Salah, maybe so but Salah scored more.

 

[Manchester_lalala]

Last season, the Blues' 0-0 draw at home to Stoke drew a crowd of just 28,405 - just over half of the official crowds of 52,625.

What a load of shite ... 28,405 as if..

also Spurs this season less than 46k ... they say they approached City for comment. I bet they don’t report the comments

That Stoke figure has been made up, without a doubt,

I’ve not read the article but are you trying to suggest that Salah should take all 11 places?

He most probably Liverpool's best goalkeeper.

Im a bit unhappy about this. Only 7 players? Absolute joke.

Really interesting article not just on how the British press works but also how Pep has made them have a rethink about how they operate.
