At halftime, after the continuous demands for cards for everyone, the Amazon host asked a leading question to Roberto Martinez about whether Bernardo should have been booked.
He didn't seem happy when Martinez responded with a stream of praise for Bernardo, acknowledging that he could have been booked.
Nice one, Roberto.

Who is Barney Ronay?

His name suggests he's a kids dinosaur character on cbeebies.

Is he?

He's a ****.

Leaving City aside for one moment. It is reported that Barcelona have been paying, off the books, a company owned by a referee over a million pounds a year. I only found out because I read it on here in the Barca posts. Where is the reporting by the media over this ? The state of the British media is a joke.

That's huge news, give money to referees that's probably the worst things a football team can do. They have to be thrown out of football for this if proven

Apparently Simon Jordan made a comment about club valuations that:

United are The Beatles
Liverpool are The Rolling Stones
City are Roxy Music

Umm Simon.. ok lets take you at your evaluation that if the Rags are the Beatles and Dippers the Rolling Stones..

There's a new kid on the block from overseas Simon:

Why is Tommy Lee Royce in the shoot?

The other night BBC North West hailed the dippers’ derby win as a springboard for a top four challenge

 

[Keeper!]

Bbc news this morning making out losing was good for arsenal so they can chase. So arsenal won. What bollocks

A bit like the media claimed Arteta got one over Pep by playing a weakened team in the cup. I don't think they will revisit that one.

On a great night for the Champions, who go back to the top of the PL, Mike Keegan writes one of the worst headlines and articles ever in the Daily United. I’m honestly lost for words.

SSN have just said Haaland has gone 4 games without a goal, which is a raise on Amazon who incorrectly said it was 3 (it was actually 2). Looking forward to finding out tomorrow he hasn’t scored since November.

So optimistic? "His first of the campaign, and lucky scuff into the corner at that!
