You could have said 'this award has been dropped ' ;)

Sly bigging up Bodgers for PL manager of the month during the Leicester Leeds game earlier stating Leicester unbeaten in January (No mention of the one team who WON all their games). How's that going you biased bastards!

Let's put this myth to bed
Liverpool didn't win the league due to it being interrupted by Covid
They were out of sight before the season came to a halt and they've been pretty hit and miss since project restart

The break last season favoured the rags, as Leicester fell off and the rags, with some VAR help, improved

That really wasn’t the point I was making mate, so there’s no myth to put to bed!

I said it’s painted as an amazing season because Liverpool won it, whereas our treble the season before got barely half the coverage.

Liverpool won it fair and square - they were the best team last year. Fuck all to do with Covid.

My point was it was a mess of a season due to Covid - not the ‘absolute classic’ the Liverpool-fawning media would have us believe.

Silly Sally already recording a St Marcus sympathy piece.

For the record I abhor racism and racial behaviour. Yet these fuckers make me think they are using it as deflection from being shit.

I feel sick thinking that way. They have have a history of exploiting moral issues.

Has anyone actually seen any of these alleged tweets?

St Marcus receiving racist abuse made the national headlines. GMP involved so I wonder how rigorous the investigation will be.

If he has been racially abused the culprits need to be dealt with. However it stinks of convenience that this and the similar stories last week were raised as nited were struggling. Classic news management that has the stench of Ashton all over it.

I regretfully turned mute off for the West Ham vs Liverpool game. For about thirty seconds I listened to Martin Tyler and then I muted the game again. It got me thinking what annoys me so much about him and then the word "bloviate" came to my mind. I looked it up to see what it means and I found this

Bloviation is a style of empty, pompous, political speech which originated in Ohio and was used by US President Warren G. Harding, who described it as "the art of speaking for as long as the occasion warrants, and saying nothing".

Add that to a kind of sycophancy - obsequious behaviour towards someone important e.g. Liverpool - and I have some answers in respect to my annoyance. I thought I'd share with that you on the media thread seeing as he works for Sly Sports.

The St Marcus tag is crass, and immature.
And if you really believe your second paragraph. Well it's pretty poor on your count. You are really linking the racist tweets being highlighted to united struggling?

I don't know what is more nauseating with Tyler commentating - his love-in of all things Henderson or his man crush on Fernandes. Surely it's about time that new blood was brought through by Sky. I would promote Don Goodman to cover PL games and get rid of Tyler.
