McManaman groaning in audible agony when Villa messed up a breakaway

He can’t help himself , apparently we’re grinding out boring 1-0 wins whilst eulogising how good penandes is , you can’t make it up anything to please the red plastic masses

Merson as hypocritical as ever.

Put the bottle down you helmet.

To be fair, with the right backing he probably could - but Joe Royle managed to get f#cking City back into the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp = poor man's Joe Royle

Lots of gushing from Silly Sally earlier this time about Leicester ('can they do it again') just because they are top for a while and because they ain't City. No mention of tonight's matches.st
If we do hit the top you can bet there will be less coverage of that than the British Broadcasting Corporation gave earlier to the meaningless report that there is a female umpire appointed in some American sport.
Then Sally gushes more than the River Calder on flood alert about Leicester in the headlines at 0800.l sense a 'stop City at all costs movement' will soon begin.

So they reverted to normal in time. They’re like a referee giving us a penalty at 4-0 up saying you get penalties. They’re saying we preview your game but only at a time insomniacs like me watch!

Can anyone summarize the discussion about KDB and Fernandes before the game?
Missed it

At half time when the adverts came on, BT Sport sign comes on and says up the Villa. What the fuck is this.

We'll have to agree to disagree.

How could he say we did not break the rules? We didn't know on here for sure. We hoped and had great faith in the detail unearthed and pieced together by the likes of PB and projectriver BUT we couldn't say for sure. Projectriver had us at a 70-80% chance of winning the appeal.

How do you know he didn't speak to the club?
How do you know he WAS CONVINCED we had broken the rules? Point me to something if that was the case.

We didn't know what the FULL case and weight of arguments against us was until the 93 page judgement was published.

There was a quote from Samuel to the effect that we were bang to rights, but i have no hope of finding it at the mo.
Had he talked to the club, he would have found out so much more and would have written on it. For example, City confirmed early on to PB no less that Ceferin had offered a deal. Samuel would have had to write about this if he knew and it would have alerted him to the fact that Uefa were wobbly. So, i cant be absolutely certain he didnt talk to City, but it is a reasonable inference from his silence.
Similarly, projectriver, a high powered lawyer and CEO, was open and approachable, and wrote and podcasted extensively. None of his arguments appeared in Samuels column.
My bet is that Martin was kicking himself when the verdict was announced. There was an exclusive, just going begging.
When all is said and done MS is still the only journo to have consistently attacked ffp and the G14 and we should be grateful for that. Cheers.

feels like that Kompany Leicester home game.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

This commentary team are beyond woeful

KDB clearly pulled up with a hamstring and they didn't realise for a few minutes til he was taken off.

Gundogan scored that goal apparently

The audible growns by McManaman are ridiculous.
