So the cunts howl at the moon and talk to the sun?

Haha I guess so.

Classy from the rag infested, no fans in the crowd but they still manage to have a song with the words “why don’t City fuck of home”

Careful now...

Everybody knows you never go full Scouse:)

Typical of the media Mark Hughes no job offers since he has been sacked for being a shit manager turns up on the radio to commentate! When a manager loses his job they will ask him would you fancy that job!

He can have Jurgen flopps job in a couple of months

Cockney twats.

Cockney twats.

Indeed. The irony of that song from a club where over 90% of the support isn’t from Manchester. Maybe the bbc will play the build a bonfire re song next, oh those fucking mibs

Too right. Some of them managed to fuck Gascoignes career, and head, right up.

He needs to make sure he doesn't sneak off knobbing birds or get caught on the Hippy Crack or whatever.

I actually think that, perversely, and entirely accidentally, we’ve got the best of both worlds. This week, when (a) we’re playing a click bait club and (b) Phil destroyed them, the media is of course all over him and he is all over the media. That apart, I could count the number of Phil Foden articles or features this season on one hand, other than of course the Iceland stories.

He would undoubtedly get overexposed and overhyped at one of the red clubs. I’m not worried that will happen. He will still get that from time to time, especially on England duty. But he won’t get that constant week-in week-out scrutiny precisely because we aren’t a club that generates vast numbers of clicks.

Point taken but you’re doing that thing that people do on here, overplaying the significance of online football articles/click bait. The media with the biggest reach and biggest ability to “hype” is TV, with MOTD, Sky, Football Focus, MNF etc followed by radio with Radio 5 and Talksport. Sometimes just a few little montages on MOTD, or a single impressive performance like Sunday’s or a match winning one for England, are all it takes for a football “truism” to take root as the accepted truth amongst 80% of football supporters.

Foden elevated himself to “next Paul Gasgoine” territory amongst neutrals on Sunday and a few stunning goals or dribbles for the highlights over the next few months will cement it.

The irony for me, who watches him every week and has seen it coming, whilst he did some brilliant things on Sunday he wasn’t even our Man of The Match. For me is was Bernado! But he’s not English or 20.

'DVDB, Werner, Havertz - it's almost like moving country in a pandemic-fuelled lockdown isn't the best recipe for happiness and success.'

BBC live text just now. Ruben says Hi!

Heard that.

The faded why don't City.... f....fade.....

I'm expecting it's only 6-1, 60,000 empty seats, the City is ours, f*** off back to London, if we play another live FA Cup match on he BBC.

Think Bernardo has made a huge difference to our play since he hit form again.
