PRICELESS.

He got mixed up between 80 million pounds and 80 million Vietnamese Dong.

It's an easy mistake to make

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.

This is from the list Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny produced of 8 people that are part of Putin's inner circle – one of them is Roman Abramovich - he's calling for sanctions against him from Western powers.

We don’t exist again in the DM again, our one and only mention..what Ole needs to fix to stop City running away with the league. Nothing about Gundo’s spectacular form and goal scoring feats, nothing about how we can win the league with such mouthwatering style. Tuchel has come in at Chelsea and within about two days has already had more pieces written than City have had since the turn of the year. People, even on here, will say ignore them like they ignore us but surely this wouldn’t happen anywhere else in the world? We have slowly crept up after an average start by putting together another fantastic sequence of games, playing mesmerising, attacking football from the off and offering something not seen for a long time at City, a rock solid defence so after the latest win against West Brom and the subsequent match report you’d have expected at least a couple of articles. Compare this with the millions they’ll run with after the dipper/Spurs game.

We don't they just speak their minds and say "anyone but City please".
Wankers

Commentary incredibly biased towards Liverpool again. Highlight was McManaman saying the ref shouldn't disallow their goal for handball because, although he handballed it (deliberately), 'it was too far away from goal' (35 yards). He actually doesn't know the rules does he! Or does he make his own up in his head that suit Liverpool and go against their rivals.

Not to mention groans when Liverpool attacks broke down. Worst commentator I've ever heard. Complete scouse fanboy TV. Even referred to Liverpool as WE at one point. Hope he stays away from all our games in the future, we don't need it.

It's not just our fans that have noticed this either. Stephen Eliott on twitter ... ' McManaman makes Carra sound like a neutral '

Basically are you saying Steve McManaman is a biased, clueless scouse bastard?
If so, I concur 100% sir.

Watched Spurs and Liverpool tonight on BT Sport. My partner also watched it. She's a City fan, and a season ticket holder. She has a soft spot for Liverpool from her youth. I've never asked her why. At some point during the first half She said to me, "are Liverpool playing at home?"(sarcastically)"I said why?" She said. "I've not heard Liverpool fans sing this loud, and for this long, in ages." So I began listening to the fake fan chants. She was right. Pretty much Liverpool chants, even before Liverpool scored, with the odd Spurs chant in-between. I'm really looking forward to Liverpool V City. I can't wait to hear the fake City chants drown out the KOP.

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

Won't happen as the PM gets invited to their Bunga Bunga parties.

Great call that. I only watched for about 10 mins, but that included their disallowed goal early in second half, and after it was ruled out, the soundtrack was mass booing at the ruled out goal - but surely it would have been full of spurs fans cheering that decision?!
