It does indeed!

I stopped listening in February and it’s been great. De-tuned it out of radios so I don’t even hear it by accident.

No more endless betting or gutter-brush ads!

I had the misfortune too and was listening to that arrogant ponce Jordan defending Frank, always manages to get a MANURE biggest club in the narrative somehow into whatever topic. DOH_ made the connection. PONCE JORDON - CRYSTAL PALACE- ASHTON. must remember to stay clear in future is much better for the health.

The Phil Foden not playing enough is getting really tiresome so first day back at work & ease myself into things I thought I’d do a little experiment.

Using Wikipedia (not always reliable) I thought I’d compare the following media darlings playing first team competitive games versus our Phil at 20. (Not including internationals)

Phil Foden 93
Beckham 16
Gerrard 44
Scholes 0
Neville 30
Messi 80
Kane 7
Carragher 26
Lineker 27

Interesting that spitty, ratty and crispy all bang on about Phil needing more game time.

Neil Henderson (hendopolis) on Twitter simply shares the following day’s newspaper front and back pages as they arrive and quotes the main headlines. He doesnt write them or endorse them.
Oh, and he’s also a big City fan as well. Genuinely. A case of shooting the messenger there pal

Great figures that nail the myth about the amount of time Phil Foden plays. Even City fans have been taken in by this false narrative which is being used as a stick to beat City. For his age he is getting plenty of experience and needs managing carefully. As as been said repeatedly he is probably the most successful young player in world football. Mbappe may have the edge on him but he is playing in a pub league and is now 21.
City fans need to call out this fake narrative out at every opportunity instead of supporting the people who despise our club and want to damage us. More games than Messi at 20 is quite a statement.
 
Media are doing their level best to unsettle Foden into looking for a transfer by banging on about his lack of starts.
They’ve forgotten one vital fact:
Phil is a diehard blue.
That means more than they’re capable of understanding.
And that’s why he won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.

hes also not thick as fck, he’ll have seen plenty go & end up disappointed & that he is getting plenty of game time. I’m certain he’ll be told his targets & expectations regularly.

I heard a blue slagging off pep for putting him on with 2 mins to go & I have wondered if that can be strategic for the team whilst resting him but maybe he could get bonuses. Maybe things kick in at certain intervals, 100 games etc

just watched his interview & he called pep a genius & he’s really happy.

I can only think of Wayne Rooney as a young player who was a regular before he was 20 (over 120 appearances by then for Everton or the Rags).

I have managed to avoid Talksport for 18 months, even in my car where I don't have DAB Radio so little choice of channels. It has honestly made me a much happier person, even in lockdown. I believe that Talksport is toxic and causes a lot of damage to the sport we all love. It is negative about everything, especially City.
 
Sky, on their transfer programme continuously mentioning "Manchester United". Some no mark on there, repeated the words twice, they don't disguise their bias anymore.

Ric, that’s the elephant in the room whenever this gets raised, and no one in the discussions, be it hosts or pundits, ever mentions it. All they do, be it tv or radio is trot out the same tired comments about PL game time.
Edit - and in newspaper articles!

Even Micah was banging on about it yesterday. Surely he shpuld be more informed FFS.

Correct and he was burned out pretty young as was Michael Owen who played over 100 games before he was 21. Most of the football reporters at SKY (and some of the pundits) appear to be total morons who don't have a clue what they are talking about.
