My ERO offered me a chocolate this afternoon. A couple of swipes over the top with my tongue and i detected a rather unexpected taste. What's in this chocolate, it tastes a bit peppery. Could be chilli he sez. WTF, chilli in chocolates? What next? Marmite in a jelly!

I always put chocolate in chilli con carne. 70% cocoa. About two squares per person. Traditional in Mexico. Delicious.

Another fair & balanced article, very similar to the Ducker one

Must of really hurt the rag writing that......

Especially this bit:

United, meanwhile, continue to struggle to show any sign that they have a coherent plan for rebuilding the Old Trafford squad.

Hitler was not German!

He was. He immigrated to Germany in 1913, renounced his Austrian citizenship in 1925 and became a German citizen in 1932.

Just been watching City fans around the world on YouTube. And it got me wondering about the media and how in general they ignore us. When Aguero scored the winner v OPR the premier lg got a boost money wise especially with the worldwide coverage of the game and it’s audience. Now that most of the media seem to rely on their papers being online and the clicks they get,which got me thinking that surly with an influx of new City fans around the planet the media would be chomping at the bit to give them access to City related stories instead of the crap they serve up now and the extra revenue this would create. Nowadays it’s near impossible to find any positive articles about us and I’m sure City fans around the world will be scratching the heads and wondering why the most successful team of the last ten years are hidden away.

Reminds me of Alan Coren in the Sanity Inspector in the 1970s.

"The Germans are all tall and blond, unless they are short dark Austrians with a sense of destiny".

Apologies if I misquoted. Its been 50 years since I read it .....

Well he is thought to have visited Miseryside at least once and had a penchant for complaining about everything (according to his doctor*) so they’re a good match.

*I couldn’t find asthma in his medical record, though.

No mention of our goalkeeper LEGEND?

I wouldn't class Eike Immel as a LEGEND, but each to their own I suppose ;)

BBc - "We do all have to be realistic, though. Manchester City and Liverpool start this season as the frontrunners in the title race, having dominated the very top of English football for four seasons now."


No, mention of who won the league 3 out of those 4 seasons. Standard.

Sorry but this did put me in mind of...

BRIAN: Garlic... bread.
ALL: Garlic bread..?
BRIAN: I've tasted it. It's the future.

Why use 4 seasons though, surely you’d say 5 as City have won 4 of the last 5. Unless they wanted to use Dippers CL win from 4 seasons ago.

Ita weird coz if they say 5 then the include the season they finished 4th but as they included 2021 they included the season they scraped into the UCL and finshed 3rd. Either way, only one team has dominated this league.

Weird, either way. Just shows how far they will take their mental gymnastics to appease the Dippers.

It's comments like this (from a dipper) that make it hard for me to believe the media are genuinely bias against us given that fans of all other clubs are convinced the media are biased against them, we can't all be correct?

"ITV already bigging Haaland up as the most exciting signing of all time. Then a little throwaway comment on Núñez at the end "hopefully he does OK too"."

"...They have a lot of the media paid off so that helps them get the lies out there........."

Once people understand click-bait, they’ll understand the media.

Haaland is one of the biggest captures for the whole of the PL and being reported on accordingly.
