Oh right. I only ever watch pre-recorded stuff.

Then dump it - £12 a month better off.
What really annoyed me was that on the 1st of every month, the first direct debit that went out of my account was the TV licence, just like the kids in the shopping bags as soon as you walk through the door from the big shop.

The Treble has done so much psychological damage to other teams, and we live rent-free in their heads.

The downside, of course, is that even more people EXPECT us to win everything now, and will revel in any reduction in that level of success. Just look at the media when we lost to WHU in a Carabao Cup penalty shoot-out with our reserve team!!

You watch…crisis and falling skies at the first hiccup, with “Treble-winner” being used as a negative!!!

It writes itself!

They're an utter joke and Shaw is talking bollocks on that BBC article. It's only in existence because it's the Raggies.

The comments below have someone (prolly a Rag), asking if their first language is English because their grammar was bad in how the post was worded.

Grammar bullying is one of my biggest pet hates and trust a Rag to engage in it, if the poster was/is one that is.

Who did the scum play?

no idea sorry

It did end well for us, it just took 30-odd years!

At the time when Big Mal took over a workmate said that he shouldn't have been made manager as he ⁰ muck it up and it would take 20years for City to recover.
40 years later....

Probably a rag.

2 yr now since I last paid, collect the letters they send, got 5 now, haven't bothered opening the last one, still waiting for a knock on the door, it's a simple no thanks when they eventually do.
Say nothing, answer no questions, there's fuck all they can do.

I find that a closed door is the best way to deal with the tv licence goons. I've not had a licence for years.

Why do their players keep talking as if they're the team that could have stopped us? They were miles off the pace and couldn't even win their only opportunity with 12 men. They've got no right to be hurting about us winning the treble

The existence of these Simon Stone articles is a disgrace, too. He's turned the BBC Football page into a blog about their pre-season tour

God, summer makes me forget how much I hate these cunts

Think he was blaming their ex bestest keeper in the world.
He should be happier now that they've replaced him with the very bestest number 1 in the world (well thats what the little Raggys in work tell me).

Funny you should say that as the Inter fans who were staying at the same hotel as me in Istanbul said they wouldn't be bothered if he left. Basically said they knew they could get a huge fee for him and replace him for a fraction of the fee they would receive with another keeper of similar if not better quality.

Ten bob has said they were lacking in 3 areas when he took over. I take it that it was defence midfield and attack. Can’t see a great improvement this season
