Right. The other day The Times had a full double-page spread on the rags, two-thirds devoted to the newest sensation called Elanga (whom I'd never heard of), and the other third all about how Rangnick can "re-ignite" Sancho's immense talent.

I know who Elanga is but whose this Sancho that you speak of, Panza?

I think it has to be pointed out that there's nothing new or original in this article and certainly nothing that hasn't appeared on Bluemoon a hundred times before. What is refreshing about the article is that it's author sees the "media narrative" for the unconvincing nonsense it is, explains our raggy friends TWO attempts to distort football 'istry to their own benefit and explains in rational terms why City's domination is not really anything particularly new. But, of course, our football establishment don't believe it not because the evidence doesn't support it but because they don't want to believe it.

"The first thing the players said to me was 'yeah, but we are not Barcelona, we are not Manchester United or Manchester City'," adds Jonk, who responded that to develop, fill the stadium and make the club visible again, they needed to "do something special".
