    When he was at Spurs, for years my missus thought his name was 'Janus Uwanka' based on my shouting during matches... I wonder if there is an onanistic connotation to the allegations!! <laugh>

    It was founded by Rupert Murdoch and Kelvin McKenzie. I'm not sure what would be bad enough, to be honest.

    I put him in the same category as Hoddle when he commentated on our games, always get the feeling the current team was not up to their standard , understandable from Hoddle but not acceptable but Jenas ......nah

    They'd probably more than happily have Hitler and Chairman Mao as primetime anchormen.

    There's a lot of "BBC News understands..." in their reporting

    It's your own corporation, FFS, just ask the HR department

    There was a lot of this surrounding the Huw Edward's incident it all seems to be a deflection, yesterday BBC new led with the murder of a prostitute, not a woman ,mother or daughter , they have not learned a thing since the Yorkshire ripper days

    Funny how they forgot to use the passive voice when they found a way to sound like judgmental twats in their headline writing...

    I think that's because on paper, BBC News Corporation and BBC Television Broadcasting are considered two separate entities, so one can only 'speculate' about the other.

    Much in the same way that Ahmed bin Saif al Nahyan can only "speculate" about Mansour bin Zayed al Nahyan when comparing the goings on at Man City to those at Etihad Airways. Even though most of the speculation takes place at family gatherings or joint holidays.

    As Jack Clarke joins Ipswich from Sunderland, his replacement in the Mackems' lineup was one Romain Mundle.
    He joined them via Standard Liege from our youth academy, having turned down a new contract.
    All rather dubious looking, but congratulations to him on scoring the only goal of the game yesterday against Scott Parker's Burnley.


    Tidy finish. Lots of appeals for offside, but I don't think that he was.
    100% start to the campaign for them and they've yet to concede.

    Barca have loaned Clement Lenglet to Atletico for the season.
    He'll probably suit Simeone's style a lot better than Barca's, assuming he gets much game time.

    Lenglet has been at some big clubs , he must have something about him but I never saw it with his time at Spurs

    I think he's a decent footballing centre-half and he's left footed.
    Not suited to a high line and also not an agricultural destroyer, but he can do a job alongside one, in my opinion.
    I can see why Atletico would want him as an option. I doubt he'll start every game, though.

    So much for the Conte Era line about him being a weirdo that nobody got on with...

    Apologies if this was mentioned elsewhere, but Kyle Walker appeared on a podcast yesterday and one of the topics that came up was his move to City.

    He claimed that the decision was in fact down to Poch telling him he preferred Trippier and that Kyle wasn't in his plans for the 17/18 season.

    This came as an absolute shock to me and almost totally contradicts all other accounts I'd heard about the move (i.e. that he was tapped up by City, we didn't want him to leave, he told the dressing room before the FAC semi that he wanted to leave, Poch and Levy were understandably furious etc.).

    Emerson’s just two games in for Milan, got hauled off on 70 mins today and he’s had pelters from fans on social media already:

    Emerson Royal is terrible. Like absolutely didn't even bother closing space on that. He literally just gave up. To think he took Kaka's number”.

    Emerson Royal is absolutely not an upgrade on Calabria. I’ve seen enough

    I won't ever get what made them go for Emerson Royal and how they paid €20 ****ing million for him, definitely one of our worst signings.

    It does have to be said Walker's story has changed a few times over the years

    You'd think he would remember things better, wouldn't you...?
