BBC Random 100m Mention:
As Grealish comes off:
A match-clinching goal at Stamford Bridge for Grealish would have repaid a fair chunk of that £100m transfer fee.

Fucking disgrace.

Presumably if Lukaku had been able to trap any of the passes he received he would have paid back his £98m fee! Totally absurd as usual from the BBC.

Has anyone read this quite frankly bizarre article from Jamie Jackson today? I'm not sure if it's meant as satire, or if he's actually just jumped the shark.

Pep Guardiola’s tinkering keeps Manchester City A-listers on their toes | Jamie Jackson

Sterling, Silva and Stones are among the latest victims of a risky policy that has backfired against Chelsea before and could do again
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

He criticises Guardiola for both dropping and then playing Stones, Laporte, Sterling and Bernado.

Criticises Pep for not dropping Laporte for Stones this season, despite Stones not being fit and Laporte not conceding a goal all season.

Claims that Cancelo played his best football from left back last season (he absolutely did not) and criticised Pep for playing Zinchenko in the CL final (despite our far superior record of playing Zinc at left back)

He also called Bernado's inclusion in the CL Final as "bizarre", despite the fact he started pretty much every game of our 14 game winning run up to the final.

You really have to read the full article to believe how misinformed it is. Completely bizarre, to the extent that it almost feels like some kind of post-modern fake news parody.

Love the post mate, but for me, our greatest achievement was winning the last 14 games in 2019. Nothing will top that for me. The way that gets downplayed in the media is an even bigger liberty imo. Up there with any team sporting achievement on record, given the circumstances and its duration. It’s nearly half a season, at the business end, with the pressure on every single game.

An incredible sporting achievement. An incredible thing to live through.

IIRC, we always seemed to be playing from behind, always needing the 3 points to stay ahead. While that can be a strong motivator, it brings with it tremendous pressure.
 
The media narrative destroyed. Oh dear. Some of the Pep criticism from journalists was very poor. Well done to Rio on BT for criticising the media. I respect pros like Souness, Neville and Ferdinand. We know who they support but they are fair I feel to players, and coaches and fans. Obviously Lescott gives City a good hearing but I expect that.

I guess what I am saying that it's not entirely bad and the ex players tend to be better.
