Was Glenn twaddle really a football manager? Talking of Calvert Lewin he just said “they’ve just taken him straight off so it can’t be that serious”, surely that would only be the case if they had kept him on?

Shoulder to shoulder , well knee to hip anyway Glenn.

Yesterday morning silly Sally came out with, Can Manchester United continue their impressive league form in the cup, I was wondering if I’d missed something. It’s the blowing smoke up their arse that pisses me off as much as anything.

Id happily allow everyone to think theyre doing well. Meanwhile reality is very different

we had a good run in Foden. Now that's over, and everything is back to normal.

Don’t see it as biting mate. I got tagged by someone to answer a question on the BBC coverage and politely responded. Its only a discussion after all.

I was not aware of any revelation, with regards behind paywalls, and I take your point about the click bait stuff, its undoubtedly out there and some of the fawning over United/Liverpool players is nauseating.

No one is less a fan of the press than me, I have little time for a lot of them, and as I have said before there are a lot of valid points made about the type of coverage.

In relation to my response with regards the BBC, we did have some decent coverage after the match on the website, maybe not as much as Liverpool would have had if they beat us, but still a few decent pieces.

;-)

Huddle didn't use physios, faith dealers were "in" during his time.

BBC open up a HYS on the Leicester game, opened for as soon as the rags squeaked through yesterday and featured highlights - not a peep for us or a chance to comment on yet another record. Hope we draw them next, only way to guarantee getting a match shown on the BBC. They're happy to put license payers money in the rag coffers to televise their matches at the expense of others.

Such as an article titled ‘Man City’s ‘special’ record Citybreakers beat Swansea to reach quarter finals of FA Cup’. Might be worth checking before posting.

No doubt some will find a missing comma or something not mentioned to complain about.

I assume you are referring to the BBC website. I don't have the time to search websites which might or might inform the public as they should especially as they have a reputation on here of omitting City altogether.
I shall see what the news and Breakfast have to say as they are the ones that reach the general public as a whole. At the end of the 10 o'clock news they have not mentioned football results at all. The local news has merely given the score after some nonsense about a golf ball on the moon.

Like clockwork

We don’t know of course the details of any offer made to KDB, but if we have offered him a deal which is anything less than a big improvement on his current deal at the same time as quite obviously putting several hundred thousand per week to one side on the Off chance that the little poisonous 5-years-past-his-best dwarf decides to lower himself and play for us (if we offer him an obscene amount of money, natch) then Kev has every right to feel seriously pissed off. I wouldn’t blame him. I’d go so far as to say he would have every right to demand a transfer in that scenario.
If I was Raheem too, approaching my prime years, I would demand contract parity with any future newcomers. Ditto Bernardo. Ditto Aguero. Ditto Dias. Ditto LaPorte.
These are players that have turned up and done it already for City. Week in week out, season in season out.

Signing Messi would be a huge mistake. Let the twat go to PSG if he ever leaves BArca. They need a superstar to elevate their club and their league. We don’t.

Sign Haaland for a fraction of the total cost, plus one more striker.

If we feel the need to sign a mega star, lets go for Ronaldo at least. He’s proven in every league he has played in. A legend of the game. THE legend of the modern game.

Cristiano Ronaldo is shit, wouldn't want him anywhere near city.
