Classic guardian football weekly yesterday covering Tuesday nights games.
City coverage lasted about a minute.

Lars Silvertsen: City were brilliant, Foden was brilliant but no point discussing the financial disparity between the teams cos we've discussed it so often previously. Credit to City because they've used their resources well compared to PSG very well
Gledenning: Bruges total wage bill just £18 million. About the same as KDB.... blah blah

Same old same old.....

Kind of changed on the commentary regarding Brugge, first half. Very dangerous team , great form, unbeaten in 16 games, great young talent , intimidating atmosphere blah blah blah. After Walker banged in the third, only to be expected, huge gulf in finances, no champions league experience, big game this weekend , unlucky with the Laporte ‘red’challenge and could/should have had a pen as well. I’m Usually a volume/mute watcher but could enjoy their pain as we were so comfortable.

TBF to the rags, they proved at Leicester they can be deadly when only given a couple of half chances, but they also proved why they concede so easily

I can't see the dippers being to worried about Molly Maguire.

The mail at it again. Article on England falling down the rankings table and guess which players photographs are used...again no prizes...Grealish with his head in his hands in one and Walker consoling Kane in the other (there are more but not of England players). It’s almost like they’re trying to provoke a blue into violence against one of them, here’s hoping.

I know this sounds like I am looking for things to be vexed about but here goes.

Watching the rags last night I heard the commentary mention the "Stretford end roar" and the only other football stand that gets a mention is the Kop "Sucking goals in" I believe is the phrase.

I could be a mile off with this observation but you rarely get mentions of other grounds main stands do you?

K stand has been the rags main end since the eighties, who does their research.

Not got that ring to it though has it?

The romance the history the way that it's interwoven into the very fabric of bias commentating ;)

Who will the media back in the Dublin derby on Sunday, imagine they are hoping for a high scoring draw so they can blow smoke up both teams arses.

The scousers have taken over as the main chosen ones, the BBC will have a glut of Salah goals on speed dial ready for the big occasion.

No mention of squad cost allowed at any time of the proceedings :)

BT coverage of our game on Tuesday night, when the show cuts to the adverts it shows pictures of City fans outside the Etihad. At the first advert break it had a zoomed in picture of a kid in a City shirt ( no face shown ) holding a 99 ice cream. We all know the old rag joke or is it me just being paranoid .
