Does Liverpool get a bonus point or something for winning 9-0?
(and maybe a shiny medal?)

Isn't it still just three points??

Can somebody please photo shop one of those Certificate of Achievement awards with 9-0 on it. It’ll make my office week most enjoyable

I thought it was Mowbray, who I’ve read previously, though not a City fan, does have sympathies for the club (or something like that).

Could have been me as I have mentioned this before. Many years ago I was introduced to him on a night out by a mutual friend on the basis, in his eyes at least, that we were both City fans. Don't recall much of the conversation tbh but I'm fairly certain that his 'allegiance', however strong it was then or is now, was down to a Manchester connection in his family background.

I've not bothered looking but I presume at least one of them has mentioned how it was disrespectful to carry on scoring after the first 5? Perhaps a comparison for how much Scott Parker has had to spend compared to Bingo? A squad worth comparison maybe? No?

Driving to swimming on Friday morning radio 2 sports news mentioned Euro draws for 5 British clubs guess who they missed out, only the champions of England that's who. What is wrong with these people.

There are loads of subtle differences and "mistakes" concerning the way we are reported on the bbc, almost on a daily basis now. Its as if they employ fanboys in the footy department instead of people with integrity.

Absolute shite, and I cant wait till they have to sort their income out via subscription instead of the money through menaces system they use now.

Sure, they can make quality dramas and fantastic documentaries etc, so why cant they provide the same level of quality for their football coverage, I suspect it is because they dont want to.

They literally run the footy reporting like sky run theirs, favouring certain clubs more than others,
of course, you have a choice of paying or not where sky is concerned so thats sort of ok.

So heres an idea, why not reduce the tv license fee and make their sport/football service subscription only?

That way we can help pay for the good things and dump our funding of their anti City agenda.

It's because they measure their success in exactly the same way as the gimps at sky; clicks n likes n tweets. The days when quality of content was a feature are long gone. And this is how they secure their share of the budget from their paymasters, so it will not change even when they are defunded.

Which leaves us with the mainstream media positioned as fanboy tv, bought-and-paid for media shills totally committed to promoting the illusion to the hard-of-thinking that the 2 red-tops are in some way better than everyone else.
