I am a balloon and I can confirm it’s better than being a Rag.

So you were a rag at one time. Hence the comparison

There was nothing wrong about anything Dublin said. He was completely fair in his analysis.

Still a gorlmess **** though

Uniteds all or nothing sub's we're Weghorst and Mctominay who would probably be handy if you needed a sofa shifting up a difficult set of stairs but unlikely to scythe open city's defense

Martin Samuel's latest.

Wonderful article.
Time was when there were 6 or 7 sports writers of wonder. Now they're as rare as rocking horse shit.

Both to Pep.

Mmm, just read that Colkycock article in the People, basically saying Pep isn't a good manager because he's failed in Europe with Bayern and City, then the prick finishes with this : Inter can win it, will they? I doubt it. I'm going for City to score multiple goals and deliver ABU DHABI the trophy they have desired above all since arriving at the club in 2008.
Says everything you need to know about this cretin, spoken like an ex bitter dipper

Give credit to Ronay, that's good writing. Tomorrow he'll remind us about the oil.

Hi s only error was writing that Bernie passed the ball back to our goalie from the kick off. As we all know it was Ilkay so perhaps he was also the "provider" in his own goal. ;)

Yes it was a lovely article, fairplay.

Talking about gundo...

"He doesn’t have a football haircut, or a footballer’s look of fierce, hungry focus. He seems to be thinking about things; scurries about the pitch like a fond old family labrador who knows how to open the back door and brings you your favourite jumper when you feel sad."

I smiled at that :-) Hope he stays.

Could not believe he left that out, or anything else from his usual bingo list, must have hurt him having a day off from the usual poison!

 

[BlueAnorak]

If you read the mediah football columns this afternoon, you wouldn't think City had done the double yesterday.
Silence.
They must really be hurting!
BLOODY WONDERFUL!

It is but strange he says Bernardo took the kick off back to Ortega.
