Talkshit had the assistant editor of the mirror on. Amongst the incoherent ramblings he said”Liverpool are a likeable club”. They were discussing the lampard sacking and how fans of other clubs see Chelsea supporters as ‘plastics’. The bias comes from their personal feeling and that is what they print.

I like my clubs to have a high death toll. Is there anything wrong with that?
 
I can't take him seriously mate.
Another ex pro stealing a living talking utter bollocks whether it's his views or his employers.
I remember him as a player too, decent at Norwich and Blackburn but flopped at Chelsea iirc.
Playing ability doesn't dictate how good or bad a pundit you are,same as it doesn't dictate how good a coach or manager you make.
Interesting that Sutton is another who thinks he's qualified to judge how good or bad others are at management when he hasn't got the guts or motivation to try it himself
100%. I don’t think pundits should be employed without a significant stint as a manager as well as player.

Was that liverpool fan Darren by any chance?
 
A very strange article on the BBC website about previous tight Premier League title finishes:


Particularly strange was the omission of the tightest finish of them all when City won on goal difference after two added-time goals in 2011-12.

They did include City's win in 2013-14 and a win for Arsenal in 2001-02. All of the other seasons featured ended up with United winning.

Not that most who know anything about the game think that this season will be tight. It may look so at the moment but the underlying trends are clear.

For example 538 has City with an 87% probability of winning the Premier League with United on 5%, Liverpool on 4% and Spurs and Leicester each on 2%:

I haven't looked at other sites but will be surprised if there is much argument.
I think they're referring to seasons where multiple teams were in the mix at the midway point. 11/12 was only the two sides.
 
Someone posted a newspaper report in the messi thread attributed to Laporta.

This is the G14 in action:

“It is disrespectful to Barca that clubs like PSG publicly say they are going to sign Messi. This coming from a club-state that have bypassed the rules. We cannot allow clubs and states the luxury of destabilising another club.

"In that sense, we will have to speak with UEFA and FIFA to avoid such actions. PSG must abstain from [talking about Messi]. It is out of place for another club to speak about him. And, at the moment, there is no president in place to respond to this lack of respect."

And of course they would never have dreamed of talking about signing the under-contract eric garcia. And they certainly haven’t contacted him.
 
Pep doing a tactical masterclass but all of the journalists are either too thick to be able to analyse it or too bitter to bring themselves to praise us. You've got to love how much this season is pissing them all off!

Surely a human rights article must be imminent? Then carragher and neville spending half of Monday night footballer focusing solely on how to try and stop us to get the word out to everyone else in the league. Won't be enough

Up the blues

I’m expecting a concerted media attack over the next week or two, especially if we see off Blades and Burnley

Good post. When we're top and oozing class they always do that, analyze and give coaches some ideas on how to beat us. They never do that to the dippers. Desparate cretins the lot of them.
 
Let me rephrase it for them. “”Rag cunts turned over by bottom of the table Yorkies who just added 60% to their points for the last half season
That's very comprehensive. Waiting to see what they say on Breakfast. So far it seems 6 foot 4 Jimmy Anderson and how he manages in quarantine in a small hotel room is the main sports story

The Rags at media City can't just come out and say United lost at home to the worst team in the league because they're shit and City are top of the league so they have to find another way of saying it.
If we had lost at home to the league's bottom club to keep them top we both know the headlines would be so different and they would be wanking themselves stupid whilst staring out of their office windows facing the swamp.

Five points all season.

Sheffield United almost doubled their points tally last night. In January.

Still not a single bite from my rag mates who were gobby as anything a few weeks back.
 
Does that mean we’re still top???
The fuckers just can’t bring themselves to print that can they..,,,
Smug Mike was Breakfast sports wallah and he delivered the report in a very strange manner as though he was reading out his shopping list.
Certainly no mention of us remaining top.
No Silly Sally because she was saved for the meaty sports stuff. A female Olympic rower is training again to come back after maternity leave.
Local news says United missed chance to go top by losing, a bit arse about face.

Ha ha, chemical Ali levels of delusion / propaganda - Liverpool are a horrible club from top to bottom and there are only 2 sets of plastic fans of clubs based in this country.

I was pretty close with my Olympic rick(rock) climbing guess....just the wrong sport.

I saw the news on the bbc news channel overnight, this mornings mini-Mike's bit & the local news, not one of them mentions who are top.

If funny as fuck, if the sort being discussed was RL, RU etc whoever was top would get a mention.
 
Fucking BT commentator and Chris thick-sutton trying to convince the world there was a push on de gea when there wasn’t, and that Maguire didn’t push Ramsdale when he clearly did. Bent fuckers
Quite a contrast to Danny Murphy about CTFC's goal 'if you concede because a little push (on Laporte) you're in trouble.'
