If we ‘tricked him’ then surely we’d make him work bit not pay him?

Evidently, it's easy to trick a dullard.

Nor any serious interest in another ref revealing what should be serious concerns about referee bias or a serious look at diving generally with the way certain teams get to the to the top of the league through dubious decisions. All these affect the integrity of the sport but get left alone.
But what we will get is the same old dull, routine, worn to death cliches to do us down and big up team in red.
There are no sports journos with the balls and ambition to go after the truth?

So true, it really is hard to understand how out of an industry involving thousands of players, coaches, backroom staff, rich intelligent businessman owners, media staff, and of course their mouthpieces the media in general...not one of them has the integrity, the balls, or both to stand up against these two and their media paid sycophants. Why do we get players like James Maclean making a huge personal stand but not one of them ever comes out and says “I wish they’d shut the fuck up about United and Liverpool, I’m sick to fucking death of everyone arse licking them” and why would we never get a proper journo dishing the dirt on these horrible tainted clubs, there must be loads out there able to put their hands on some pretty incriminating stuff, especially about how Gill and Parry have used their influence and power especially against us . Surely it’s not just City fans that it pisses off?

Absolutely couldn't agree more. I'll watch BBC if they've got our match on live. Firestick for our other matches.

Oh, and I'll put anything about the solar system or cosmos by Prof Brian Cox on iplayer whilst in bed if I need to fall asleep quickly.

Don't worry "Things can only get better"

Disagree. I reckon he's an excellent spitter

Don't know why Pep spits so often. Every time the camera focuses on him, on the sidelines, he's seen spitting, for no good reason. I wish someone would have a word with him (perhaps his missus?).

I should really know better and stay well away from the mail but just came across this vomit inducing pile of shite...

Fernandes has shown how players should carry on in the Covid era

JEFF POWELL: The most welcome item of football news this week came with Bruno Fernandez being named Premier League Player of the Month for the fourth time out of seven.

Not sure what's meant by "perhaps he knows such infantile behaviour is for the birds" but we're shown hugging in celebration whilst that cock is sucking his thumb!

I think quite a lot of neutral fans can see through some of the negative coverage City receive. I usually make a point of drinking with opposition fans when on away trips as much as possible. The feedback from matchgoing fans up and down the country is often positive about City tinged with some envy. There is very little love for United and Liverpool.
But the negative "racist oil money" jibes seem more prevalent online from people who don't attend matches. The media assumes football fans are stupid but my experience at games suggests matchgoing fans know more about football than most reporters, especially those posh boy hacks who only discovered football when it became trendy for the hipsters.

Good post, and I’d agree that’s my experience amongst mates and work colleagues I speak to as well, 90% of them, whoever they support, see through it and aren’t taken in by the shite about us in the media. They are generally v complimentary about us, without any ‘side’.

That journalist has been around donkeys years; I remember him years back on Hold The Back Page as a regular with Woolnough - and he was generally a red-lover who had little positive to say about us.

Football focus vomit inducing

Jim White on Talkshite earlier complaining about managers spitting on the sideline in relation to Covid
He said "there are also manchester, sorry managers spitting on the sideline"
Clearly getting at Pep

Must have been watching Keys on beIN having a pop vs Brighton. With Pep, I think it's probably a nervous thing - like Keys displaying his nervous tic on tv 'Did you smash it fnaar fnaar' the utter twat.
