If you know.
You know.

Showing their age a bit, I bet they never mention 'Ken Car' on the official account do they?

Answers on a postcard folks.......... ;-)

I challenge anyone to find any mention in the online Daily Express sports page of City's game at Porto.
Also noted their feature on the cup draw. "FA cup draw for LPool, Spurs,Chelsea, United".

Now that's proper offending.

Yep I was there, took forever to get in with what seemed like 2 turnstiles only that were open.

Just read the Telegraph match report by Luke Edwards. He claims the goal by Jesus was correctly disallowed because he was offside. Something tells me he wasn't actually watching our game.

Great afternoon that :-)

Now this doesn’t look good about the UAE

Pentagon Says UAE Possibly Funding Russia’s Shadowy Mercenaries in Libya

The Defense Department’s inspector general report comes just as Trump aims to sell the UAE billions of dollars’ worth of arms.

foreignpolicy.com

Headline says "possibly" – the US (along with Britain) also said that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction... when will people start to see past the headlines these days, and realise the political (or otherwise) agenda/narative that's being pushed?!

Great to see Joleon and Barry on BT tonight again.
I may be wrong but just maybe after all our complaints the tide is turning and BT are finally listening....

There were less snide jibes by the commentators as well. Though they couldn't help themselves with the ongoing bogus narrative about Phil Foden's game time. He has the third highest number of appearances in our squad this season (14) just below Rodri (16) and Sterling (15). Apparently this doesn't count because he is not getting enough starts in the PL (as if the CL is somehow not as significant)
Anyway Foden has now had 88 first team appearances and is possibly the most successful 20-year-old player in world football with the trophies he has won (don't forget his Man of the Match to win the Under 17 World Cup for England). Perhaps he would do much better with Martin Keown managing his career.

Could KEOWN improve his speed though, as he thinks he is a tad sluggish.
