A selection of todays headlines from the sports pages of the Mail:

"Gary Neville accuses Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko of 'over celebrating'"
"Gary Neville initially refuses to pick ANY Man City players in his combined team with United's 1999 Treble winners"
"'Klopp is coming for you': Gary Neville warns Man United and Newcastle"
"Gary Neville believes Newcastle could MISS OUT on the top four"
"You want leaders to spread composure and lift anxiety: Gary Neville says"

Hard to understand exactly why Martin Samuel chose to fuck off to The Times isn't it!

How many ulcers do we reckon Gary Neville has?

I’ll set the O/U at 2.5.

People compare that rag team to us all the time without realizing the current RAG team would beat them. The game has moved on significantly in 24 years i'd say you could go as low as mid table and most of the current PL teams there would beat them.

Absolutely this.

Ask any rag if their treble winners would have beaten their Best/Charlton Euro winners. They'll admit the treble winners would, because the game had moved on.

Well that treble was fucking ancient history now too. Their Ronaldo/Rooney team couldn't live with Barcelona and couldn't get the ball off them.

How the fuck do they think that 1999 team would get a kick against this City team. :-D

Honestly, they wouldn't even know how to shut up shop like crap teams try to against us. It'd be double figures.

Henry Winter apparently has an article in the Times with his team of the season and there are 7 City players and the quote at the side is full of praise for one John Stones! ‘A man for all reasons, for his defensive strengths, his determination, and the ease and authority with which he steps into midfield’ he says about that young man! :-)

SEVEN City players. But who is this John Stones of whom he speaks? :-) ;-)

Even for the media thread this comes across as just weird, surely you could find something more deserving of being angry at?

Mate, do you not know the Media Thread Motto?
The Pettier the Bettier....

...OK, its not at an "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.” Isaac Newton level, but it's the motto the thread deserves!

He actually wasn't that bad in this instance!

He said we won't get titles stripped or relegated, and that it's been done before with Jack walker and abramovich. He said he doesn't think things were above board pre 2018 but they are now.

It's better than I expected anyway!

Why doesn't he think things were above board, pre 2018?

Is he privy to our goings on? Has he seen our accounts, pre 2018. Or is he just a clever word using, know nothing gobshite, who revels in his own self importance?

Jordan speaks well,quite often hits the nail on the head.....the problem is,it often aint what Blues want to hear......and so he has become public enemy no.1-10,depending on your personal brand of hatred and preference.

He recognised we arent alone in bending the rules,and he also recognised we have been complying with all current legislation for several years now.

The charges only go up to 2018, but that's because the PL could only go on what was in Der Spiegel, which therefore limits it to 2018. Der Spiegel highlighted stuff much earlier than that, pre-FFP even, but everything substantive post-2013 (within the six-year limitation period) was dismissed by CAS.
