I wish I'd been that journo, just to say "well that's why you've spent your career in the lower leagues instead of at a top club then isn't it Tony?"

Ah but he knew how to play at Stoke on a wet Tuesday evening, he also knew how to dress as well :)

it would be like lassoing a dumb mule.

I like the idea of a reporter asking a stupid question. Benny shouts 'Dick Slap" and the rest is history....

Nedum absolutely killing it on SSN this morning. Articulate, insightful and funny. And even though he's a relative novice as a pundit himself, he’s clearly and generously helping his former teammate and co-guest Tom Carroll, who is on for the first time and obviously nervous

Great to read that. Wonder if it’s available to view on skys version of iplayer - when was he on, 11am-12 noon?

It seems we never learn, always shooting outselves in the foot one way or another. Lazy journos are always waiting like vultures for a headline like this. It just leads to more resentment than praise.

Or we just 'own' it and embrace it, as that takes away its power

Not really, it’s human nature to be jealous and resent people with money. We’ve just given the pundits more ammo to throw at us and justify their comments. Now if he’d have followed that up with “just like all the top teams” it would’ve been less abrasive. It’s so unnecessary and avoidable.

Yeah, but they know that already and still only use the money thing against us. Guess we'll have to wait and see if it changes anything long term

Im in work and cant listen, so i turn subtitles on....he becomes Andy Dumb :-)

He hasn't taken it too well

Guardiola only half-joking with money comment - Liverpool and co can't compete

When the post-pandemic financial realities kick in, Man City will be best placed to cope with them .. and if Pep Guardiola stays, that is frightening for the rest of the Premier League

The female presenter on BBC’s Northwest tonight just said “Jayo Canchello”

Ffs, how hard can it be. Your only job as a news presenter is to read the news properly.

I like those who mis pronounce Mendy as something like Maurnday, putting an affected French accent into an African name pronounced in France as we do. Strangely they do not think Benjamin might be accented.
The BBC had a very good pronunciation unit at one time. Now it's just another area in which the BBC fails.
