Should be the biggest debtors in premier league history entertain big spenders,

Chelsea owe Abramovich over 1bn ;)

Yep I just shook my head. Overall it was bad but Keown did put a bit of balance to the biased commentary eg highlighting short pre season,still need match sharpness etc as did Hargreaves tbf Main commentator was an arse. I’m not sure but I think he said that this was Aguero first goal since March!! Err I wonder why that might be.

Why do football commentators specialise in such meaningless, lacking-the-necessary-context statistics such as this...is it for reasons of bias and attempts to influence the viewers?

i get it all the time , asked were you were born and reply Salford and people presume your a Rag , i say yes and start licking the nearest window

Salford is rag central still. In my school in the 70's it was 95% United. Probably something to do with the proximity of OT to Salford. I see a lot more city shirts these days in Salford.

If you listened to the commentary on BT yould have thought that Porto were a magnificent team in full control and City were a disjointed mess barely hanging on. It's common place now but no less annoying.

Doesn't usually bother me, but last night Keown and the other ****, got right on my tits.
Constantly repeating the same negative shit.

My brother just sent me something he saw online regarding VvD's injury (apologies if already posted by others)..

First ever Premier League goal - Brian Deane
First ever Premier League hat-trick - Mick Quinn
First ever Premier League injury - VvD

Sums it up, I think..

Every cloud has a silver lining. He and that other footballing Saint can now join forces to save the world from hunger and Coronavirus.
We are not worthy

Apparently Kun hasnt scored since March , they didnt mention Kane hadnt scored since January when he recently notched for Spurs though.
Pandemics and injuries , just lame excuses they are both shite.

So are the BBC...

What a fkin joke..

The pisscan wouldn't have even qualified for the European Cup from '86 to '92 if the dippers hadn't already got everyone banned for the majority of that time ..

From '93 to '98 (6 seasons), despite being drawn in some of the most piss poor groups ever seen, they were fkin nowhere to be seen..

Their win over the German rags in '99 after being comprehensively outplayed has never since been repeated..

A genuine, cast iron, 100% flash in the fkin pan result..

From 2000 to 2012, the rags won it once more, through the lottery of penalties..

The pisscan then had a sober moment, saw the writing on the wall and fcuked off..

To sum up, the so called biggest, richest, most valuable club in the world ended up with 2 wins in 21 seasons..

Overseeing all of this was the pisscan who is painted as the fkin Messiah..

Spent fkin tons of dough, broke the transfer record countless times and benefited from some of the most dodgy decisions back in the day that even VAR would be proud of in the here and now..

Fast forward and the modern day rags can't even qualify for the CL without outside assistance ..

Not a fkin peep from any of the press or media outlets about any of that though, just the usual 'pile into City' shit that has worn that thin it's fkin transparent..

I'm not a journalist but even I could cobble a headline or 2 out of..

100's of millions of pounds in debt..

Owners milking them dry..

Wasted millions and millions on crap players..

Manager out of his depth..

Abnormal amount of penalties awarded..

FFP immunity..

Gill on the inside at UEFA, conflict of interest..

Top 4 achieved with very favourable assistance by newly implemented VAR system, thus staving off financial oblivion for another season..

Shirt sponsors Adidas not to slash sponsorship payment due to the rags CL qualification..

Luckily, just in time, as year end numbers are atrocious..

It's about time the media grew some balls and reported on the real stories going on in football instead of constantly kicking us..


The fkin lot of them are spinless cnuts..!

 

[CelesteItis]

I watched it on Bein sport. Pretty much the same comments about lack lustre City and Pep’s CL poor form... but what irritated me was the commentators pronunciation of Peps surname. He swapped between ‘Gardy Ola’ and Gwardy Ola’... anybody confirm the correct pronunciation in Catalan?

Same as spanish: Goo ar dio la, lar.

This is what Pep did to GPC and pretty much what our club I doing to the scum right now.
