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.

The already have there excuse they paid that for referees to come to there ground to show them the new rules 1.5m for that not bad pay day

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!

 

[Groke]

That’s unbelievable from Ogden Haaland run both centre backs ragged yesterday!

Easy to focus on their bias, but underneath that most of them don't have a clue about football - probably preferred hockey, cricket or rugby union when they were growing up.

Strangely Ogden played for Rochdale reserves at one point.

The narrative continues this morning.

'It's very important for the English game'.

(we don't want the cheats running away with the PL title again)

No surprise it's by.....

It's also a acceptance by the press that the dips are finished

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

It is baffling that SKY try to turn Haaland into a negative story. He is total box office for them. Just bizarre. This why they are struggling as a business.

But you wo t hear about it anywhere. I read it on here and decided to che k if it was true. No one was carrying the story. I had to type in Barca, money paid to refs etc to verify the story. The Mail and others have it as proof but, as I say, it is hidden so far away you won't see it just reading the normal online pages.

 

[LongsightM13]

To be fair, two of our goals were gift wrapped presents :)

Or a result of pressing. And there was still a lot to do after we regained possession

Thought Amazon were a bit better than the others until last nights Arsenal show. I did chuckle when the third went in and suddenly all commentary went totally flat.

same here. It's probably the biggest scandal since Juventus were caught doing something similar. It should be everywhere

Aye they started chatting away amongst themselves

Classic BBC running a poll about who'll win the PL now, one team is a thumbs up, one is thumbs down...
