Just contrast the tone of his voice when dippers score v when we do...
Also upsets me to hear commentators call their players by first name on a regular basis, especially Trent who now has no surname apparently.

I trust you are referring to Bobby Famino, he shouts it every time he’s on the ball.

Whoops sorry clear forgot

Got to get the dirty bit in.

As I've got a lazy afternoon planned I fancy watching both BBC and Sky documentaries celebrating our centurions and formidable seasons.

For some reason I can't find them in the BBC or sky TV libraries.

There's a couple of Rag ones and two Liverpool ones about them winning one PL title. Buy damned if I can see any on city's achievements?

I must have imagined them...

I suspect there probably isn't a documentary on Leicester's historic title win either. It's down to who owns the platform.

IF we did the impossible and had a season where we won everything. I expect Sky to credit Klopp for it.

Another silly question the press ask is:

How (excited*) are you about (playing in the FA Cup Final#)

* can be another emotion. # can be another achievement, e.g., having a baby, getting knighted, whatever.

I always want someone to say "I'm 62.3% excited." Because I would, if someone ever asked me such a fucking stupid question.

I'd not seen the goal and heard her on the first sports news this morning, they showed the goal and......meh.

It's all quite sickly and uncomfy the way they report on anything red shirt but it's not going to change I'm afraid. Imagine the headlines even from a Saturday game if one of them had done the 9 games calendar run in January.

Was it as good as Gundo’s first against West Brom?

Oh there’s also Jeanie....

We've already done that in England. The only club to do the English domestic trophy quadruple.

Yet Liverpool got more credit for winning a trophy that is rigged, where a team can lose 3 games, draw 2 games, and still win the CL.

Given the choice, like any sensible and honest football fan, I would rather see City do the English quadruple in one season, rather than winning the CL.

CIty will win the CL eventually. I doubt very much the English quadruple will ever be done again in 1 season. Or at least not for a very, very, very, long time.
