The BBC are really in a quandary. They recently discovered a little known EPL rule that bars teams in a the same town or city having managers who resemble each other. Liverpool, London and Manchester are currently the only areas where this applies but as pointed out by the BBC Manchester City employ a manager with a similar likeness to the Manchester United manager. A spokesperson for the BBC said this issue needs to be resolved, if this is implemented Pep Guardiola may could be asked to resign his position but a less drastic solution could be for him to wear glasses, a false nose and a curly wig. When it was pointed out Pep was manager at City before the new United manager the reply was " ahh but didn't ol pisscan sound out Pep before City? if he'd gone to the Theatre of dreams it would have meant they would have employed a bald manager with a small amount of facial hair so the Intention was there. In Liverpool this predicament is unlikely to occur as one club has a handsome stylish manager the other one doesn't and unless unpredictable Everton decide to sack their manager sometime soon then replace him with the favourite in the 16:30 race at Haydock Park this shouldn't become an issue.

I read about them paying that whiny twat Lineker 1.5 million a year for 3 hours work a week ffs.
If I resided in the UK I wouldn't pay those wankers a penny for a license.

Apparently correct prices (Nunez 85, Erling 51)!
Decent shot of Gabby at the top - is there a roof walk at emirates, similar to spuds?

Looks to me like Everton and the rags have lost a lot of squad players...They will have to move some to get depth for any sort of decent 'run'...Tottenhams signings seem pretty good, so maybe much more difficult now for teams to break into the top four

I've not read the article but City have lost two forwards with 12(?) seasons PL experience and replaced them with Alfie's lad and Alvarez. Both new signings are upgrades but a settling in period may give the dippers an advantage. On the other hand one is the son of a former PL player and the other has been scoring frequently in a tough, physical league, so if they hit the ground running as Sergio did then the advantage stated may be imaginary. Just like most stuff written by Martin.

Not forgetting that the dippers have lost Mane with 6 seasons of PL experience and a total of 111 goals & 47 assists in 262 games, whilst replacing him (for €100mill no less) with someone who has basically had 1 good season in a much, much weaker league.

J. R. R. Tolkien levels of imaginary writing.

It must be hard for those who are writing for a dipper audience. Echo, Mirror, BBC etc.
Liverpool are a fantastic team much of the time, but have peaked when City are even better.

I would go so far as to say, they are consistently the best runners up the PL has ever seen. Shame no one will ever remember them.

They have been runners up twice in the past five seasons. As have the rags.
OK, the dippers were only a point behind while the rags were a gap (getting bigger every time we play) behind, but it's fun putting them on a par with the other arse cheek.
