Micah Richards is one fuckin shithouse thick twat.

Why because he’s not a bias twat like all the dipper/scum pundits and just says what he thinks is true rather than just sticking up for the club he supports

I said that to the missus, that now while watching city my ears pick up on over 100 slants at us from slys commentary team during the game, EVERY GAME.
How can we stop it without doing a stretch?

kill everyone in Sky and sprinkle some covid dust on `em?

Peter Drury said "City haven't won at Elland rd in 20 years".... rather than in 4 attempts......

That's pretty minor really, it's standard practice for someone to say "haven't won here for 60 odd years" when tehy've not played for 45 of them. It's rubbish, but it's done to everyone.

Can Ian Wright stop being a dick in our direction?

If we'd drawn Milan in the CL they'd have said we haven't beaten em in 42 years...

It's got to a point where it's not possible to read, watch or listen to any sports media. Our accomplishments are ignored, our failures exaggerated and celebrated, all framed by a constant rumble of negativity, everyday, all the time.

When we win a game "We should do" and when we lose a game we "Fail" no matter who the opponents are.

Where's the fun in that?

There are some in here, and I've no doubt they're sincere, who claim to get pleasure from it, a kind of "f**k em, I love their salty tears", but not me, I find it, if not depressing, then dispiriting. I don't want wall to wall dipper wank adulation, but a bit of sugar on the shit might be nice from time to time, a bit of context, a bit of objectivity, bit of that's football for you.

I'm an old fart, I remember working out the best route to forty points by scanning the fixtures, the only entitlement I want is a fair crack of the whip occasionally.
