Reading the mirror on line this morning(I know) and an article of the best 20 yr olds up for best young player award. No Foden though how odd.

You mean 21 year old Phil Foden?

We all know what decent means.

But, I just had to double check the precise meaning.....

Decent is used to describe something which is considered to be of an acceptable standard or quality.

Why? Because according to the Daily United(and Jack Guaghan)....




So it’s an ‘acceptable standard’ to win 8 trophies in 5 season. In that case Klopp has failed, even with a get out of jail CL trophy card. 4 trophies since 2015.


8 trophies?

3 PL titles.
1 FA Cup.
4 Carabao Cups(League Cup)
2 Community Shields.
=10 trophies.

Obviously Jack doesn’t think the Community Shield is a trophy. He best tell that to all the other Managers, including Ferguson, who’ve won it previously.

Back to the Daily United.

Is there every a headline or article in that Rag fanzine that doesn’t downplay Pep’s and City’s trophy achievements?

Imagine the euphoria from the Daily United and their Journalists if Ole could win 10 trophies in 5 seasons as manager of Manchester United.

PS.

No mention of Pep being the only Manager to ever do the domestic cup quadruple in English Football.

Is there evert a headline or article in that United fanzine that doesn’t downplay Pep’s and City’s trophy achievements?

Decent is a quote from Pep. Jack (a city fan) is highlighting it because it's funny that Pep thinks its only decent when everyone else knows it's exceptional.

Isn't he quoting Pep?

Pep’s downplaying his achievement. ;-)

Helped if I read the article. But as it’s the Daily United, they can f*ck off! :-)

See above. :-?

No offence to jrb who I like, but if ever an exchange summed up this thread it’s that one.

Well for future reference, the quotation marks in the headline are a big clue ;)

 

[mexico1970]

"Decent" in Manc slang means very good doesn't it? Maybe he's using our colloquialisms in the right way?

And there's the issue. You're so determined to find fault in the media, you're no longer reading what they say :-)
