[I'm no cynic but...]

Can't believe that the fans of the US-owned rags and dippers are stupid enough to complain about foreign money coming into the game. Comedy gold.

If they mean that only gate money is true money then the record transfer fee for a player in our league would be stuck below £10m and the superstar players who have pushed the EPL onto the world stage [something that no English national team is capable of] would still be plying their trades on the continent, leaving the English leagues to be at the same level of the old Second Division, or worse still the Scottish Premiership. But if that's what they really want then I would suggest they need to get out a bit more often.

Just heard a bit of Drive, in which Durham and the thick Yorkie twat had apparently been discussing our financial results.

We missed the discussion between the two, but caught a couple of the phone calls. The first, a Cockney Liverpool fan, complained about out-of-town fans following City and the second, a rag from Ulster, who was moaning about our foreign owners spending their own money on the club.

"Un*t*d's money has always been earned," he claimed.

I could almost taste their bitter tears.

Will have to listen to this on catch up later.
Plastic rag and mickey fans phoning up and showing their arse about us can't be missed.
The rags are taking bitterness to new heights.

I had it on earlier, and just arrived home having heard Durham say this was Arsenal's best chance of winning the league, because Chelsea and City were both terrible at the moment. Moron.

Surely you know the score by now.

It's WUMmery, pure and simple. Praise one club to the detriment of one or more other(s) and wait for the phones to start ringing and Twitter and Facebook to explode.

But he didn't say that did he ? Jesus Christ he just said it was open league and it was Arsenal's best chance

He did.

I think Durhams comments were more meant to annoy Arsenal fans to be honest with regards to it being their best chance of winning the league. And to be fair he's probably correct. However I did have a sniff at the use of the word massive to describe City in the late 1960's.

It's been mentioned on here several times that Durham has a soft spot for City, having spent many a Saturday afternoon on the Kippax during his time at university in Manchester, so I doubt it was deliberately inflammatory.

I think Durham is generally alright about City, as you said he seemingly has a little soft spot for us. It's Gough who I have the problem with, he's simply moronic and has no clue about football whatsoever.
