Well...
If Mr Murphy is snuggling up to that every night then - respect!

Isnt she the one a certain local love cheat belted in a nightclub?
No you're referring to Davinia Taylor not Joanna Taylor
 
Any player on a weekly wage of £50k and up runs the risk of becoming complacent. The difference between VK and Danny boy though is that one has the ability to succeed at the highest level and an incentive to do so remains whereas the other has been paid far in excess of his ability and ran out of clubs willing him to pay what he alone felt he was worth.

Let's face it; if Vinnie decides to ease off, he'll probably get a belt from his Mrs!

She won't want to see anything but the best for City.
 
Tried to phone in this morning as the pisscan was going on about City 'wasting' Rodwell by only playing him so many times in two years. The fookin idiot never mentioned his injuries or the fact he played about 30 games in 3 years for Everton.
Mentioned Chambers at Arsenal too.
Tried to get through to ask him why he's not questioning Zaha at the rags.
Fookin twats.

I usually find Murphy to be Ok, but it was though they just wanted a negative slant on Vinnie's new deal yesterday. He said from his experience he finds players on a six year contract could become complacent. Well what evidence is there of this? Bale has a six- year deal, and there is no sign of him losing any interest. Keylor Navas has a new six-year contract but it is too early to judge this.

That's about it really. Murphy was just stirring it up, as per the station's modus operandi. Unusually, I don't think one of the station's regular presenters shared his opinion though.
 
It's lost its charm for me these days. It never used to be subtle or clever by any stretch of the imagination, but these days it just smacks of desperation - specious arguments etc. Got bored with it in truth.

Who knows, might pick up when the season restarts? Lamer than a duck with a broken leg at the moment.

Narrative for the season will simply be Van Turtle vs Maureen to the exclusion of everything else.

"The Turtle and Mo Show" ?
 
"The revival of utd will become the narrative of this season proving to City that they are not the big club they think they are. They are a social engineering project , renewing large parts of rundown Manchester , but they will find out that they do not have the emotional pull that utd have"
That's what they said!

It is painful, but true. It'll take at least 6-7 more years of us winning trophies to get anywhere near them.

I just heard that in the car. I didn't catch the name of the buffoon who said it. The other guest on the show is Patrick Barclay. Just before this was said they were on about United and how Ashley Young has the potential to be transformed into a wing back of Javier Zanetti proportions and Johnny Evans isn't just better than Smalling and Jones but is actually Bobby Moore's love child.

Just to show that I have no bias or agenda; previously to this they had given out some fascinating stuff about Ian Holloway being sold down the river at Palace ( apparently Dougie Freeman completely dismantled the scouting and coaching network ) and he has had a rant about the culture that surrounds his present club Millwall. That was a decent listen.

Even then it may never happen. The events of 1958 are written in club folklore and will never be laid to rest. I can understand this, but the transformation of a tragedy into a marketing tool I can't.

Ignoring the fact I am a blue, as a resident of Newton Heath I know which one benefits me and my neighbours the most and it is nothing to do with emotional pulls.

The have milked it to an embarrassing level. Helped by a media hell bent on attracting viewers and clicks. Neither they 9 the club give a fuck about the victims. It's all about money.

Tomato head has just been talking to another unintelligible Jock, Alex McLeeeeesh. It was like listening to two patients in the final stages of emphysema, McLeish was wheezing like a pair of broken bellows and a conversation involving 'Couldnee, disnee, hasnee and wilnee,' made understanding anything, akin to listening to the Proclaimers singing in Urdu.
Chortle.

There is a certain other club that wears red that have almost perfected the art of turning a tragedy into a marketing tool.

Cardiff?
 
The French correspondent on there seems to think we've paid quite a bit over £40m for Mangala, on the basis we've paid Porto £32m for 57% of him, ergo we've had to pay another 47% on top of that to the third party, I'm sure it doesn't really work like that, but that's how it was reported.

Has to be bullshit, as we'd be paying north of £55m for him.

I think he said we paid just over £24 million to Porto.
