The weird thing with this Sky love-in with Fernandes is that i can think of a number of City and non-city midfielders i would pick over him. He's the best of an awful midfield quintet at united.

The youthful J-Lingz, hatchet man Mcwhatshisname, a World Cup winner - plenty of talent to go round.......... ;-)

Just listening to 606 from last night, the sport bulletin just said, and I quote, "Manchester City just did enough to ensure they'll remain top of the table for now"
For now?
The woman reading it out sounded fucked off when she said it.

Was a weird way saying we're top. Bitter cunts.

Not surprised at all. If they have to report on city it will have a negative slant. Boycott the bbc.

MARTIN SAMUEL: Barca cannot afford Eric Garcia let alone Lionel Messi

MARTIN SAMUEL - CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Eric Garcia has said he would play for Barcelona for nothing. Given the latest news about their finances, he may have to.

Thought this was possibly better positioned in the Agenda thread..........

I wish Martin Samual would go and work for another paper so I could read his articles again, I refuse to click on the mail nowadays, content is one reason and the acceptance of advertising the main reason, have you seen how many companies they have listed that will track your info, it is ridiculous.

I've never been into NFL but watched the play offs this month and it piqued my interest. Started watching the nfl show on the Beeb which although having the excreble Dan Walker has 2 ex pro's on. They're typical exuberant yanks and their personalities really draw you in.

Why am I posting here rather than the NFL thread? Because the quality of the pundits in this is light years away from MOTD. These guys bring genuine insight and passion. They speak from the heart and are articulate.

Another example last season I seemed to watch a lot of American broadcasts on PL games. The burger ads did make me salivate I think. But the studio guests were mostly Lee Dixon who I find duller than a day in Parliament, Robbie Mustoe who did sod all as a player. And Robbie Earle ex Don's. He was terrific well spoken and gave considered opinions but genuinely enjoyed our play.

This season a lot of my streams have been BeIn. Only get a few minutes of build up with Andy Gray NdJ and furry wanker. Gray and Nige are pretty decent I think and always cut Keyes down to size. Just suffered 30 minutes of Warnock commentating on a pretty shit Copa Libertadores final. The guy genuinely knows less about football than a gerbil.

Years ago I used to follow games on the radio and the guy who literally was in a class of his own was Jimmy Armfield. He was knowledgeable and fair minded with a terrific understanding of the game. We often joke on the match threads that we're going to mute the idiots on commentary. The problem is that decent commentary and even rudimentary match analysis are as rare as hens teeth!

I actually feel nostalgic over Lynham or Moore as they were giants compared to today's pigmies. Will people feel nostalgic for Lineker tyler Wright darke Warnock or hoddle. I sincerely doubt it.

If we can become champions this season it will be our greatest achievement and will be done in spite of the febrile press certainly not because of any appreciation from them.

Apart from their attitude towards City, NFL was another reason I binned Sly as I resented paying for tedious sports I have no interest in, although I imagine they are the perfect cure for insomnia. The fact you are watching it shows how much damage lockdown has to answer for :)

They are all as bad, unless the upcoming GB News has a sports section.

I think you can still look on the Telegraph without the need to accept cookies but they are probably the only one left and I maybe wrong and have accepted cookies on that one by accident lol
