Suppository Takes A Strange Turn

[Nigels Tackle]

Bizarre indeed

only one reason he lives in brazil... the fucking nonce.

As someone with a few green roots myself I still wonder at the pure distilled hatred exuding about City and the UK from these Irish chaps

EWAN MACKENNA

He has also written the autobiographies of Kenneth Egan, Bill O’Herlihy, Oisín McConville and Darragh Ó Sé and is currently working on a book about the Copa Libertadores (although he’s famously slow with these things).

Feel free to contact him at ewanmackenna@hotmail.com or at twitter.com/EwanMacKenna but be warned, he’s the sort that wears a cowboy hat.

because he’a a fucking peado

Are City Clean? Alyson Rudd, Steve Bates and Jack Pitt Brook tell us what they think.

Rudd couldn't tell if something was clean after it had been soaking in a bath for an hour

[Beefymcfc]

I take it the programme has turned into a City kicking this morning ahead of the Derby. Got to keep the little Raggities tuning in.

[dick dastardley]

Rudd is trying her best not to drop a bollock like the fat fuck Dillon on talk shite.

Pitt Brooke gaily wielding the PC knife - we're just 'Sportswashers' of the evil regime in the UAE as branded by Amnesty International.
By their fruits ye shall know them.
Strange the UAE only makes 87 in their top 100 Human Rights offenders - interesting to see some of the countries higher up the list

This table ranks human rights abusers in descending order; the figures in the right-hand column are obtained by multipying a weighted score of abuses by the Human Development Index.

Ashton finishes this execrable piece with a flourish, his verdict - 'the aim of the leaks to damage the club's reputation has been successful.' In saying that he both endorses the claims as factual while accepting their criminality and at the same time demonstrates his broadcaster's part in the process.

Really interesting that - the only query about the stats is the fact that Yugoslavia is at the top. How old is the data?

Correct, FYI abolished pre 2000 but the runners and riders don't change much from AI's perspective. Here's the current UK entry

looks like we're worse than the UAE in many respects

One assumes they slated Matic for his penalty award yesterday on today’s show?

Samuels was on I note, so I assume he brought a semblance of balance to the proceedings

[patrickblue]

Strangely enough, those upstanding honest to goodness business investors, the USA and the Russians are way above.

[nottsblue]

Couldn't praise Sterling high enough this morning. Winter, in particular, spoke about him in terms that could have been written by Citys official press officer. Very refreshing to see.

And as they were summing up the presenter asked if he was the PLs best player and Winter and a lad from the Mail both immeadiately said "no, David Silva!"

And yet he never gets the vote ar the end of the season
