A free stadium? You wouldn’t catch us doing that.

Liverpool didn't pay a penny towards the construction of Klanfield either. They were gifted it by their first sugar daddy John Houlding.

Yet rags and dippers are the most vocal in condemning City as being given a free stadium. Which of course we weren't.

Dion Dublin voting for Kasper Schmeichel

First thing I laughed at..... Leicester fan Dion the Donkey voting for Schmeichal.
He is a good keeper withoutba doubt but 2 excellent saves last week in a cup final don't win you an annual award

Dion Dublin voting for Kasper schmeicheal is like a country giving 12 points to another country thats bottom of the scoreboard in the Eurovision

A main reason will be that City won the league comfortably, and many of the teams have been a bit flaky.

Over 50% of the vote went to City players - presumably Kane, Salah, Fernandes got much of the rest.

One notable thing is that he's the first defender to win in 32 years - more than the entire PL period, and there have been some good defenders over that time.

What? Are you telling me that the erstwhile Dutch painter turned footballer never won it? The greatest Dutchman ever to play in the PL never won it! Jeez, Dippers don't get a fair scratch of player trophies. He's been brilliant this season, hobbling about on his zimmer frame.

They do if Dion Deadbeat has the votes. After that bit of nonsense he should be sacked. I think I'll write to the DG and tell him I don't want any of my licence fee goin' to the property magnate.

Last night BBC local news mentioned every North West club that played the previous evening or that were to play in the evening. Even Blackpool winning the first leg of their play off. Nothing at all about City not even about getting beat.
Then they showed Burnley fans milling around Turf Moor and the presenter sang the praises of Burnley being very kind and letting in the small number 'who had braved covid' for free. Not quite as kind as the unmentioned gesture of City paying the travel for fans going to attend the ECL final.

I know, I blame the Belgian bloke. Wars have been caused by less than that.

I was also thinking of Ferdinand, Vidic, Terry, Adams - some seriously good players who held their team together and who didn't win.

BBC news this morning talked about Liverpool's win as if they had beaten Bayern Munich. They appeared to think the whole country would be overjoyed, do they not think anyone watchs their programme in East Lancashire.

Like one red scouse supporting journo who thought the Alisson goal was met throughout the country with the same joy as the winning goal for Leicester in the final. It's unbelievable that these clueless Muppets still think everyone loves the coach wreckers.
