I see that the BBC still cannot help them selves. Their piece on the PFA nominees maintaining their bias.
"Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool dominate the list having won two domestic cups, come within one point of winning the Premier League and reached the Champions League final, only to lose to Real Madrid."
To start with they didn't come within 1 point of winning the league. 1 point would have still left them as 1st of the losers. having made the point that City won the league by the slightest of margins. A statement that I wouldn't argue with as long as they would have pointed out that the 2 trophies the dippers won involved not scoring a 'natural' goal, clearly winning by the slightest of margins.

TBH I don't ever read the Daily Express. There's nothing in it about City. When there is it usually has a negative slant.

Scrolling through News Now Man City this morning and the word SNUB caught my eye. SNUB! Hmmm.

Clicked on the link and.....

Noisy neighbours Manchester City were also open to exploring a deal but the move never truly got off the ground.

You'd have thought Ryan Taylor would have moved on from the Ferguson jibe by now. How many years ago?

I`m assuming that was for the so called Pogba deal and yet we made him a decent offer ... by all accounts.

Kudos to Steve there.

Absolutely brilliant!

A pleasant change not to see mention of bloody Dippers on national Breakfast then on local news we get some twat from Spirit of Shankley asking for charities to help those affected by the final. No doubt ambulance chasing solicitors will be involved.
And then Ferdinand has been awarded the OBE blah blah blah yet no mention of Buzzer getting the same award.

It was awarded for services to defenestration.

what really pizzes me off is how everyone lumps us and snoozepool together..The Two best teams of the modern era..The two teams to beat..the two dominant forces..etc..Well hang on a minute.Shankly himself said something like "there's winners and then there's the rest"..So Liverpool are just part of the rest.. City are winners end of. Oh and everytime i listen to onuoha, hes really negative about City and hes supposed to be an ambassador. Listen beneath the surface and its all negative. People say he speaks slowly and eloquently but thats to give him time to think..Hes very passive aggressive re City and taking money of us..I reckon he justifies it by remembering how we treated him and his mother..Listen carefully it sounds positive but it really isnt.

Can't agree with your comments on Nedum. Only heard him speak in a balanced way about City and give us plenty of praise.

Oliver Kay wrote an interesting piece about PFA voting. He spoke to a few players (a couple of years ago) and they basically vote on reputation/players who played well against them because they don't pay attention to other games & teams. Hence why the nominated players are often the ones with the biggest media noise (Ronaldo, Salah, VVD, KDB, Kane), whereas players who had fantastic but less splashy seasons (Son, Matip, Bernado, Rodri) can be missed out.

Aside from that, they must all think Pep is the greatest manager as he consistently wins the title without the best players and that Klopp underperformed
