[Tracking back]

Just caught 10 mins of Sky Sports... going on and on about Sancho's impending move to the Rags... is there any basis to this or are they just plain delusional?

Just desperate.

Jeremy Cross article in the Daily Star

"Pep Guardiola confident Ruben Dias can emulate Man City legend Vincent Kompany"

Apart from the fact Pep has never said that and there are no direct quotes in the article.

Cross quite rightly getting hammered on social media by City fans

 

[Sky Blue Thinking]

We have won the war on the pitch. Off the pitch we are ostracised and vilified. How we change the narrative is anyone guess.

I think we need a sustained period of dominant success, like for a generation. Liverpool then united dominated for about 20yrs each. Whether we want them or not this level of success generates glory hunters, some of whom will grow up to hold prominent positions. Quite possibly a lot of people in influentual positions now grew up watching one of our red rivals winning things regularly so attached themselves to them. Its not going to be a quick fix though.

Let him have it. Just means it will go to his head and sometime in the near future he will be sauntering around the pitch thinking he's brilliant and it will cost them

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

And just how did you acquire this knowledge?

I hacked into Dipper and Rag emails.

 

[Mike Cledford]

Aha.
Anything interesting Agent DE5?

Well l have see the City badge displayed on Bbc at last.

The news was showing what the italians are doing about covid checking. An officer went into a bar in Rome and l thought l saw two familiar things. One l thought was the old Rover badge but was in fact the Leeds badge next to a city badge advertising the match on a screen.
I am sure the Italians will appreciate city.more than uk media.
Took me back when l used to drink Merlins Gold watching city on italian sky presented by a beautiful girl with long legs and high stilettoes.
Ratface and the gobber bring you back to earth with a bump

Sports Jock Little Richard Ascombe said Palmer did well on his debut....and Burnly had a couple of penalties waived aside! They are the new Powderpuff Girls!

Over on Granada resident chimps Hall#1 cursory report of the score. They gave prominence to Everton with DCL's hattrick and England call up along with Everton Ladies getting to the FA Cup final. The news anchor Ann O'connor had a huge smile on her face as she said "Everton are doing well." Sports chimp had a glazed look on his face. Good on you, Ann. Sooo much better than the frankly awful misery Lucy Meacock.

Just desperate.

Just put the tv on and again talking about Sancho to Utd and it’s a good offer. FFS let it go, Dortmund said this is the cost and timeframe. Rags failed to meet either. Dortmund say he is staying. Why the desperation of the media, Sky mostly to bring it up daily. Total embarrassment by the media

Mate, lockdown/isolating etc has really hit the dippers very hard.........nearly everyones at home so cant be burgled.
