I thought quite a few of our players were looking to other clubs (usually with 'istree) "to end their Etihad nightmare".

It is a nightmare having to lift all those heavy cups and polish those medals

Just caught a bit of the farcial transfer talk show on Sky. What an absolute shower of shite, full of no marks stealing a living making up shite or repeating what they have read on Twitter. Every potential signing is a ‘fantastic signing’ for that particular club etc etc. Never heard of most of these jokers. One clown just said, referring to the possibility of Lingard to West Ham, “My colleague Kaveh is closely monitoring this”.....WTF does that mean? A set of absolute chancers.

Rant over......

That kaveh is the pillock who was raving about that BERK utd signed, 40 odd million, " hes a 80 million pound player, and going to be a WORLD star , he ranted. Hope somebody pulls him up on it , and shows him the footage. Cant believe how sky is going down the nick so fast.

That Kaveh is an absolute tool. I remember him eulogising in summer that United were "basically getting an £80m player for half price" in van de Beek. How's that going, Kaveh?

PRICELESS.

Not sure if this has been done yet but there could be ramifications for Chelsea and Everton.

BBC on calls for UK sanctions on Russian oligarchs linked to English football

I wonder what the Guardian Media Group make about Usmanov's associations with Everton football club? How does it differ to Mansour / MCFC

Are BT Sport paid commission on the use of 'Trent'?

The actual frame they used when drawing the lines was also mostly in WBA's favour too as it was when the ball was leaving Cancelo's foot for the pass to Bernie

.

They could easily roll that back 10 or 15 frames and it would still look like Cancelo was playing the pass and Bernie would be miles onside. VAR is not fit for purpose and open to abuse by the cheating PiGMOL.

No sign of any goal highlights on 'NWest Tonight' either.. just the Everton and Burnley games.. Mind, they were probably short of time for the sports bulletin given that it was on with barely 10-12 minutes of the programme left.. But I was so looking forward to seeing their first class performance in once again scaling the summit of the Premier League.. there had been such excitement created by the build up to this much anticipated event yesterday.. heads should roll for such an omission.

They did recover a little from the complete memory lapse from 0730 this morning when they forgot the rags match and its effect completely. They gave the score but l did so much want to hear Roger bloke choke on the words ' Manchester City remain on top of the league with a game on hand.'
I don't think l could have worked in such a profession where the intention is often to mislead, cover up or hide the truth.

Much as I am pleased that the BBC have finally decided to target some other clubs for a change I can't help feeling this article is just the usual posturing we see all the time. Basically a group of MPs who have got nothing to better to do during this Covid crisis. It's just attention seeking and will have no impact whatsoever. Dan Roan is excited though.

PRICELESS.

its like the same script that Howson follows....inter Milan version 2

ramblings of a delusional fool.

Don't think we could have any complaints about the BT coverage of last night's game. Two former City title winners in the studio and Robbie Savage waxing lyrical on City's performance during the commentary. However I think I'd be looking at it a bit differently if I was a West Brom fan.

Indeed. I don’t want a pro-City panel, I’m not arsed about having ex-City pundits or a load of positive comments with Savage waxing lyrical about us.

I’d rather not have that, I’d rather West Brom were treated with the same respect we got last night instead of being an afterthought on what seemed like CityTV.

Just get pundits in based on their punditry quality, not who they played for, and just give a neutral stance on everything that happens in a game.

I don’t want to be treated like United and Liverpool.
