Love Clive

I gather Clive is in the studio finishing off mastering his remake of Shaggy & RikRok's 'It Wasn't Me'..

We’re simultaneously destroying and saving football!

The problem is that some out there are like injured animals and don't realise just who are the predators and who is trying to help them.

The light blues have won the boat race multiple times.

Ruining the boat race since 1829.

Yes, he was a fan since he was 5, he stood on the kop at the age of 10 and was willing to play for a shilling a week so of course they were talking to him.

a shilling a week would break the wage structure and cause dressing room dissent.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Hopefully, it's a trilogy with "Down and Out in Paris and Liverpool" coming out this Saturday night.

Why not? They loved Animal Farm....

The Premier League Manager of the Year award was instigated in 1993-94. In the 29 years it's been awarded it's gone to the Premier League winning manager 24 times.

The only exceptions are:

2001 Burley
2010 Redknapp
2012 Pardew
2014 Pulis
2022 Klopp

So the last 3 (out of only 5) times this happened was to deny title winning City managers the award. The most annoying for me was Pellegrini who won the PL and League Cup in his first season in English football while the following year Mourinho, in his second spell in English football, did the same and won the award.

More than a bit of a coincidence.

There’s no agenda though honest

Fake news dude, otherwise Ferguson would have 13 of them instead of 5

Go back a page & someone has listed all the previous winners

He can have the poxy accolades, we'll take the title thanks. More and more are now awake to the fact they're all up his arse now anyway thanks to Pep's comments

By its very definition, it can't go to the manager of the team that finished second, surely? I would have far less truck if they had given it to Frank at Brentford, or if a manager finished in the top 4 completely unexpectedly, but to give it to Klopp seems a tad ridiculous, although not unexpected.

He's talking about the PL manager of the year, not the LMA one. Mourinho got it everytime he won the PL, Ferguson got it 11/13, Conte and Ranieri won it when winning the PL and Dalglish won it.
50% of the time City have won the league, someone else has won it. They were Pardew, Pulis and now Klopp.
