[CityFan1970]

A negative, (football in general) article appearing on the BBC website, accompanied by a picture of Manchester City players. You could knock me down with a feather, I'm that surprised.

Dan Roan, utter ****.

The article itself is now illustrated with a photo of Soton players celebrating their goal against the Dippers, a game from 8 days ago.

A more relevant, up to date photo to go with the article, which was updated just 10 minutes ago as I type, would be the one of Manure players hugging on the tonight's live page - see page 706. I bet they daren't. In fact, that photo seems to have disappeared altogether from the Football page.

“Even all the billions and billions of Burnleys new mega rich owners could not stop Ole’s young free scoring fledgling’s claiming their rightful place at the top of the premier league 3 points ahead of Everton’s diseased afterbirth. As for the Stockport Oilers, they are back to looking up the table enviously at their more successful and illustrious neighbours.
& How fitting a home grown academy graduate scored a quite brilliant goal to win a game United should have been out of site but for the Burnley players putting in an obscene amount of effort and dodgy ref”.

So true it’s not even funny.

R5 report this morning that MANUre are top of the PL which is the first time they have occupied this position at this time of the season for EIGHT years. Funny how in those intervening EIGHT years they never missed the opportunity kiss the Rags' red arse on both buttocks every single day!

Just read the article in the Athletic this morning.
City offering jobs to a Brazilian players father

 

[Goaters]

Excuse my french but that Athletic article is a croc of shite.

10k payment made 9 years ago, and it’s like the end of the world is coming down. City completely deny the claim and the dad went to a couple of scouting training sessions anyway. even if they didn’t this sort of thing has been going on for years at every club so who really gives a fuck.

just invites loads of moronic fans to pile on in with the cheaters line and all that rubbish.

The athletic are turning in to a tabloid trashy clickbait rubbish, at the start I really enjoyed the articles.

Rashford now on Channel 5 News with the headline 'campaigner Marcus Rashford takes on the Government again (heavily stressed) over school meals'.
The actual report is somewhat different interviewing mums, mentioning that paediatricians and even Downing Street were unhappy with the packs being issued in lieu of the grocery voucher. Then there is a copy of a tweet purportedly written by him which gets the headlines and the professionals' and volunteers' ongoing work is sidelined. No mention of the obvious problems food banks have with the 'stay at home' message will have on them.
This lad might have good intentions but he is being played.

What was it this morning that caught my attention when skimming the headlines?
WAs it the tweets from disgruntled parents about the shit state of fsm or was it the news that Rashford had re-tweeted them?
wEll thanks to his involvement i now know what firm is skimming government money from government coffers (your taxes), the CEO and their very chequered history.
Claiming Rashford is 'being played' is ridiculous.

Nice article on Diaz and the impact he has made:

'It looked like he'd been there five years' - Ruben Dias at centre of City's revival

For a better sense of what Ruben Dias is all about, watch the celebrations that greeted Manchester City's first goal against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge this month.

Had to laugh. New on BBC. For some reason it’s under Fulham page but on main sports headlines and of course has a photo of our team celebrating which then vanishes when u click on the story

Premier League boss reinforces 'critical importance' of Covid-19 rules in letter to clubs​

Was the letter sent after this or before this ?




And that's only beating Burnley !

You should have heard some of the superlatives used to describe Pogba's deflected effort on SS.

Going off the description it would make Mark Kennedy's goal at Bolton in 00/01 look like a 3 yard tap in.............
