Pleasantly surprised by a report on BBC news this lunch time. They were reporting on an increase in offensive chanting and I thought it would be a Scouse whinge fest, sure enough it started referencing Hillsborough. I thought here's where they blame City, but no had Everton singing "always the victims* then nited singing " the sun was right " then incredibly Liverpool singing " Munich chants". Balanced BBC coverage someone will get their arse kicked for this.

They really think there has been an increase? I remember some pretty offensive shit being sung 30/20/10 years ago. Or are people just more easily offended these days?

According to this the only way we can sign Bellingham is if we sell, otherwise we fall foul of FFP, again!, but apparently the dippers and RM could sign him with no issues as there's no mention of FFP with them!

Shock Man City stance as big name placed on transfer market to fund deal for world-class arrival

Man City have reached the surprising decision of putting a top attacker up for sale in order to fund their move for Jude Bellingham, according to a report.

Well now. There is an article. Complete bollocks. And it seems Everton have found a way to stop Haaland scoring more than one goal a game. Only the 42 goals in the PL this season for him then.

Not staying on his feet is another myth created by the press and social media, now being perpetuated by his own supporters. He has the absolute shit kicked out of him in every game.

Who needs enemies eh!!!

Goes down far to easily. And I get that from watching him play and not some gimp on social media.

I don't know. He has this habit of taking an extra touch and passing the ball at the last split second. Which means he gets clattered a lot. Not surprised he "anticipates" some challenges in those circumstances. IMHO, he should release the ball earlier and not draw so many late tackles into his feet. He isn't going to get the protection he got at Villa.

Couldn’t disagree more. Not seen a player get the shit kicked out of him more than Grealish for a long time. The Leeds game being the perfect example. Definitely doesn’t go down easily compared to any other players out there that’s for sure.

Grealish runs into trouble deliberately to win a foul instead of running towards goal. It might have been good for Villa but doesn’t cut it for City unless we are 2-0 up with minutes to go.

He should ride those little digs and dance away from the defender like Foden does.

Perhaps, but this is certainly driven by the perceived chants re Hillsborough, without bothering to identify that the murderers theme is supposed to be about Heysel. As has been said elsewhere the conflation of 'the sun was right' and 'murderers' is wrong, has confused matters and was unfortunate that a handful of Blues allegedly used it at anfield. Even so, I think we can be sure that the scouse defence for their own disgusting actions (others provoke us!) is the real reason for this getting a higher profile airing now...
