Just had a listen to a podcast by "journalists" from a serbian TV station that's showing PL games. The same guys that do the commentating on PL games.
Basically, they act like CAS decision never happened, keep saying City has the most money and how it's unfair be cause nobody can compete with them. They even said, paraphrasing: it's not fair, city play it like a video game where they can purchase another life when they lose.
Also, Klopp is the most popular coach among players and everybody's dying to play for him rather than Pep.
At the end, they said Pep should go to PSG be cause of the nature of Ligue One being a one horse race, so He could concentrate on CL.

Clowns.

Almost forgot, they kept referring to United and Liverpool as "we" even though they're supposed to be impartial as fucking journalists.

Tributes left for a dead chicken
Flowers and tributes were left in an alleyway where the body of a mystery dead baby was found - before police realised it was only a chicken foetus.
A member of the public discovered the remains in a back alley in the Anfield area of Liverpool.
Police cordoned off the scene but soon realised that it was not a human but a chicken foetus.
Well-wishers had laid more than a dozen bunches of flowers at the scene, along with cards and teddy bears.
Local gossip
One of the cards read: "RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx."
Merseyside Police told the community on Monday to "stop grieving, it's only a chicken".
A spokeswoman for Merseyside Police said: "It seems a member of the public saw the remains of a foetus, which possibly resembled a human foetus, and called us.
"We cordoned off the area to investigate, as we would with any possible suspicious death, but it became apparent it was not a human foetus.
"The flowers and cards are obviously the result of local gossip, but we can assure people that the remains were not human."
Conservative MP and editor of The Spectator Boris Johnson was criticised last year after commenting in the magazine that Liverpudlians were "hooked on grief".

Johnson ended up apologising to the professional mourners after that...
 
Something to look forwards to next month. The BBC are doing a three part documentary on City.

Oh wait a minute...

Yes, a story that needs to be told , but three over episodes?

It's a narrative that has been set by the greedy establishment, that people are too stupid or lazy to look into. Saying it is like playing FIFA on cheat mode, or whatever, is ridiculous - aside from Robinho, what ready made superstars have we gone out and bought? We don't spend in the same way as RM, Barcelona, PSG or even scum and chelsea - with their marquee signings.

With the money awash in the premier league, how many of our signings are out of reach for most teams? Who did we blow out of the water to sign Dias or Cancelo, for example? Admittedly, we have spent a lot over the last decade or so due to replacing some bad signings and overpaying, but we've hardly made the league unfair by mopping up all the talent.

To say players would prefer to play for Klopp rather than Pep is too funny - must have been from a survey of one with Connor Coady

its a hard one, the club has done the right thing by saying find & do what you need to do, no secrets.

if the club gets slaughtered then you’ll understand why there are cover ups.

No, you intend to use your head and you can control direction, you don't intend to use your shin.

Many headers are hopeful glances where you just aim to get something on it to help it on its way.

Besides, given the widely publicised success of shinning it, it sometimes helps with the desired result to shin it so I can imagine pros would actually on occasion intend to because it gives a better result.

Listening to 5 live his morning about 8.55 they had a sports update with the opening line along the lines of...

''lets finish with a downer and ask is the Premier League title race already over following Manchester united dropping points against West Brom?''

And concluded with a comment from some bird that it isn't necessarily over as there's still the possibility of injuries (presumably she meant to City players)

Nice of them to basically hope for injuries to sportsmen and I wonder if it would be the same negative narrative over the tile race if it was either of the red teams that were 7 points clear with a game in hand.

Should be cued at the relevant point...

Bit sexist calling her a "bird", give these chicks a bit more respect.
 
If I understand correctly Bennell was never officially employed by the club but brought kids to & hung around City, using the City influence as his cover.

he’s a dirty c*** who deserves an eternity of hell but what’s the bet this becomes a stick to beat City when it was found to have happened at loads of clubs.

Correct. His junior clubs were seen as feeder clubs and was given access to kits and other equipment but as you said never a club employee but yes another avenue to drag the club down - guilt by implication and association....
Wonder if a former Crewe manager is getting twitchy?
