All this quad stuff is annoying, especially as they're not even top of the Premier League, but we've had constant nonsense about the quad for the last few years.

It was a common theme on here to complain that journos wouldn't stop going on about it, when it was still a pretty long shot. It seemed to come up in almost every press conference after from March onwards.

Here's the Mail with a nine games to immorality article:

It needed completely reorganising so one team did not dominate if l recall.
But that was only if that te

But only if that team was City. Further changes might beneeded if City win league and CL ruining football if they do so.

I see the constant drip feed of the media has got to you :)

Saha rightly thinks people who can count to five are "smart". And they are compared with him.

I'd he's talking about united then they'd need to count to seven.

Let’s hope they only win the league cup.

That's fair comment. I didn't particularly like when they were doing that every press conference because I thought it might affect the players' focus. I suppose we are seeing it from the other side of that now. Now we know exactly why the Liverpool fans and United fans were doing all they could to downplay what it would mean... They must have been petrified of the prospect. Yet they blagged that they didn't care... "it would mean nothing" etc What a front that was, they were rattled as can be.

He’ll be claiming racism when he’s laughed out of every managers interview he goes to. Imagine thinking that United are the better prospect over the next ten years than City. I don’t even think Eamon Holmes or Mich Hucknall woujd think that currently.
