I see the BBC have a nice article on their sport website on the biggest comebacks in Champions League history this morning, I wonder if there's a team with a big first leg lead playing today

What's your point? It has to be on most minds I would of thought. I am slow to congratulate this organisation on anything but they do have an excellent article on Ederson today. The obsession on here sometimes about press coverage is off the scales.

If he thinks that’s bad, he should Google ‘Stockport Golf Club Badge’ then click images

Must be the most racist club badge in the world. Gobsmacked they’ve not been made to change it

The guy with the noose around his neck is white. Why is it racist? Same as The Thieves neck pub in Woodford

Abandon ship: does this symbol of slavery shame Manchester and its football clubs?

A three-masted vessel adorns the city’s buildings and both teams’ crests. But is it an emblem of a crime against humanity?

www.theguardian.com

The Guardian, born of Manchester's radical political history, has become the house organ of the smug, bourgeois, middle-class, metropolitan elite.

That shames Manchester.

Really? Doesn’t look white to me & you’re the first person I’ve ever heard say it’s a white man

Re: The Hattenstone article The Guardian did a few pieces a couple of weeks ago about how Manchester profited from the slave trade during the industrial revolution which was a new one on me as I thought we helped Lincoln abolish it.

They even got Andy Burnham to write a piece on it where he basically said all Mancunians should be educated about Manchesters involvement in the slave trade

Andy Burnham is a bellend.

You can take the lad out of Liverpool but you can't take Liverpool out of the lad.

I am informed the guy in question was a "local vagabond" (strong words back in the day) who was caught stealing sheep from a number of local farms. Not sure if he was hung for his actions or not.

Yes the BBC have two City headlines
How shit is Eddy ? However you have to read it further down for balance.
Great CL comebacks -again
What a shitpit of an organisation pandering to the Red tops.

They don't even hide it.
