The cousins
Alan Oakes, Pep would love him coming out of defense with the ball and pinging a cross field ball to the wideman
Glyn Pardoe his versatility every position except goalie settling at left-back wonderful silky player

They stop short of saying that Haaland has been bought using Nazi gold, they really are that unbalanced.

'City's investment strategy keeps them above United'

Sacked in the morning.

To be fair mate this is just a build up to their game on Monday.

To be fair mate this is just a build up to their game on Monday.

Is that really the best debate they can come up with though? It’s like they’re desperately trying to put that team on a pedestal that they never even got to.

Correct.
A relegation clash like that needs building up.

This is a perfect example of the media once again trying way too hard to keep the rags relevant and the myth that is Liverpool alive.

Pellegrini did a better job in his first season with us than what Liverpool achieved in 2021-22

It's not what you could have won, it's what you actually won (in the real world) that counts.

I wonder if we'll get the ' is the premier league becoming boring' again if we beat Newcastle on Sunday, going seven ahead of the dippers. I wouldn't bet against it

Again mate, the BBC sports team is awash with desperate rags and scousers, all based in Salford now so sadly we've come to expect nothing less. If I had the bollocks I'd cancel my TV licensing fee with immediate effect, but I haven't so I'm lumped with their pure biasedness

You put butter in your tea? You Ashton lads are proper weird!

The comment came from an old TV advert depicting a young Geordie lad saying those words when he was buttering his slice of bread. It's not the Hovis advert, but something similar.
As to buttered tea, we had no milk or sugar in ours, ....or tea. We were poor, but we were happy.
It were over 30 year ago, though, and who'd a thought.....

Stone on bbc sport website Ratcliffe’s desire to buy Chelsea shows he is serious about Manchester utd hahaha another desperate prick hoping beyond hope ..

If Ratcliffe had a desire to buy Chelsea, why did he not submit a bid until AFTER the closing date.

Colin Bell anyone?

Colin Bell EVERYONE!

Well that goes without saying.

It wasn't that long ago when the media narrative was "how do teams stop Manchester City". They weren't even subtle about it.

When the dippers were running away with it; I never once heard how do teams stop Liverpool. In fact quite the opposite. It was a foregone conclusion that Liverpool would win all their games comfortably.

It always fascinates me how one club (rags or dippers) dominating the league is good for the product and another (God's own) is bad for the brand?

On the basis that the rags won more things and actually managed to score a goal during their finals it has to be them

 

[Pontypool Blue]

30 go to 10.

10 print "City till I Die"
20 goto 10.

Ha ha I remember those days spending hours stabbing away at the ZX80!

Fucking BBC Sport.

woman reporting the Villa keeper was "viciously attacked" in the pitch invasion.

Credit yes, but you really would have to go looking for that, and it's not even a linkable singular article, it's just in that list.

That’s a shocker, on many levels.

It really shouldn't be a shock. We already knew that Clattenburg was told to alter his report so that Adebayor could be retrospectively charged.

Yeah, sorry, I meant for me it was a shocker (I wasn’t aware of any of the Clattenburg business) so your post came completely out the blue. In the wider context of the footballing landscape, agreed, sadly no shock whatsoever.
