Yeah, he was ok tonight too. I like him as a presenter. Rory whatshisname is a liverpool sycophant and apologist at every turn, but Micah did a good job of justifying our derby tactics and shut down that accusation quite quickly. His interview with Sterling was interesting to listen to as well.

Chapman is an excellent professional broadcaster/journalist. They are in short supply at BBC sport these days. It is bizarre that they don't use him more.

Which one? There have been so many with the name/nickname of Dracula.

Joe Corrigan, in his early error prone days, was known by many City fans as Cinderella. Because he was always late for the ball.

I was there that day in the Kippax. Nobody could believe him making such a schoolboy error. (As a 12 year old keeper in school I got a bollocking from the games master for doing that in a house match). The entire scoreboard end was screaming at him and he just looked mystified at them as the ball bounced past him.

That was Jimmy Greaves's debut for West Ham and he kept up his record of scoring in every debut match although in the build up Harry Redknapp was miles offside. Typical City lost 5-1 after impressively winning 4-0 at Upton Park earlier in the season. I was there too.

In his early days he was hopeless in the air for such a big lad but of course he went on to improve greatly.

Remember his debut v Blackpool in the League Cup, when he let the ball go through his legs for their goal? Then was brilliant in the replay? That was Joe.

Stones has been stupid and let it affect his performances for too long. But her running to the papers after faiing to extort more money from him is a snide’s trick. He was also bankrolling half her family as well, paying them to do spurious ‘jobs’ for him like driving etc

That's the sort of stuff that nobody knows about. He has no chance, bound to get a shite rep. You don't hear him bleating about the crap (provided that there is some) that he had to put up with from her and her side of the family.

She sounds more like a **** that a WAG

I remember watching Frank Skinner on his show Room 101 and someone brought up WAGs and Frank stating he was glad they didnt use the phrase wifes or girlfriends.

Same here.

Don't have Sly Sports News on anymore. Stopped watching Sunday Supplement beforre it was rightly pulled. Talkshite is also off. Gave up on BBC United Football, TV, Radio, and online years ago. Binned the MUEN paper and MUEN online years ago. (used to always get the Pink Final) Don't read the tabloids. My only City news source is BM and News Now, Man City, where I can pick what I want to read or not.

Same here, and I’d add it’s interesting to see the various City podcasts really upping their game this season. There’s such a variety of styles too. Hopefully there’s room for all. The way those City Extra boys are responding for example leaves MSM stuck in the past.

It’s almost like there’s a void to fill with authentic, passionate, entertaining content that speaks to fans rather than the tired, snide, sycophantic click bait that is aimed at the drooling masses and the Singapore massive.

I occasionally still visit guardian football page. If only to click on the X on the While you’re here subscribe button. Not a chance Guardian. Its utterly offensive to ask for money for standing up for independent reporting while at the same time promoting agenda driven lobbying for pure clicks. I’ve been a football fan for 40+years. You could say an expert on this subject. Your inane fan boy bullshit defines you and means i am obliged to doubt your overall credibility.
What am I supposed to believe? You switch integrity on and off depending on the subject matter. It doesn’t work like that.

I think BBC copied and pasted their obituary for Wenger and swapped his name for the former Liverpool gaffer.

"Houllier was a foreign manager who changed the game for the better by instigating a fitness regimes and tactics that many other clubs copies during, and after his tenure as Liverpool boss..."
