[The perfect fumble]

I am clearly in the minority here but I like Ronay’s writing. And to put a bit of balance back for those who haven’t read the article he ends by saying “this looks like the most irresistible club team English football has ever witnessed”.
If our fans are getting their knickers in a twist over someone who says that about us then maybe a bit of perspective would help.

I posted this earlier, Ronay's use of the word "irresistible" does not mean what you think it means....

Irresistible?

Don't get carried away, it has more than one meaning....

too powerful or convincing to be resisted.

They used to call the Wehrmacht irresistible.

Ronay doesn't mean it as a compliment.

Seems about right to me.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Seems about right to me.

Me too, but it's more non-stop kick in the bollocks than fancy a shag.

Ian Herbert in the DM full on hatred of City, disgusted Chelsea couldn’t lay a glove on us, state funded etc etc. prick

Never had a problem with MOTD, Lineker and Shearer have praised us more over the last few seasons than any pundits going.

Shearer can’t say much anti City now on ownership given his support for the Saudi takeover from Ashley of the Geordies

Seems our win over Chelsea didn't please everyone.

I think he must be a keen peruser of rawk if he really believes the nonsense that we don't enjoy the magnificent football we see every week.

Has he only started this season having a pop?

Not early but late to the bitter party.
