Just loved Peter Drury's call of Rodri's thunderbolt. As he raced up to strike it, Drury's cry of "RODRI ..." was a perfect prelude - like he knew something special was going to happen. And the rest was the usual Drury magic. Unfortunately, also had to suffer through Jim Beglin who is a grade A twat.

There's more than a handful managers who would kill their granny for a shot at The Swamp. Their ego keeps telling them that they are the one who can bring a title back to Trafford and build on that magnificent history encapsulated in the Fergie years!

But would it be as romantic as the dippers title win with Klopp? I'm dreading the comparisons in the media if it happens.

FFS, it's already started. Just the Daily Mail as an example.

1. Pochettino hasn't once intimated he wants to leave PSG and become United manager since Solskjær was sacked.
2. All of a sudden Greenwood will be a superstar.

These Coffee drinking b@stards are stealing a living every day.

Sometime tonight 606 had an 80 minute programme on the predictable failure of a man with no talent
How much would it cost the rags and Dippers if they had to pay for all this free publicity?

Drury is the best commentator out there.

When do we reach the cut off point when it makes commercial sense for the media to promote Manchester city? Will we ever get there? It seems like the media obsession with Man Utd is growing even though their club is declining. Our fanbase must have significantly eaten into theirs in Gtr Manchester over the last decade and surely that must be mirrored globally given that international fans should be more fickle than fans in Manchester and Salford with family connections and where the club is literally in the blood?

I was just thinking to myself about the media obsession with Man Utd's manager. I get the strong feeling that the media coverage is even more biased than ever despite Utd's fanbase declining. I put it down to increasing commercial pressure in the media. Surely at some point they are going to have to start writing for the City fanbase. We must be the 3rd best supported club in England now after Liverpool and utd.

Had this chat with a Rag in the pub a couple of weeks ago. Man Utd sells as so many people like them but even more hate them. So whether it’s good or bad news, the media will flog it like a dead horse. The more they do the more people around the country and even the world will have interest in them and it will mean we won’t see a decline that their performances warrant. The more the media flog it, the more the public buy and then it goes round and round.

City are definitely growing and we are getting more popular and that will only improve, ever catching the Rags up I don’t think will happen.

Ah, that lovable rogue Jim Beggin for us to get beat every time we play.

Martin Samuel: Man United no longer act, they are buffeted by events

MARTIN SAMUEL: There were two weeks, just passed, in which Manchester United could have got the house in order. Could have planned for change, plotted a way out of this latest crisis.

So Carrick is the interim’s interim. A title so flimsy, so lacking in authority or faith, it beggars belief the club would even try to explain the process in Sunday's statement.

It is akin to being junior to Baldrick in the Blackadder household. United have appointed a manager they barely trust to see out the month while they search for a man they barely trust to see out the season.

Brilliant. Laughed more than I should have done at that but so accurate.
