On Talk sport just then?
I only caught the end but could tell you didn't wanna give too much away because of your agreement with the club. Must have been frustrating.

Twas me and a complete fail it was as well. It's quite difficult ringing up and getting put on hold but you hear the radio show going on on the phone.Both Gough and Durham were constantly inflaming the situation with ridiculous comments like the wheels are coming off and this proves it along with Clichy getting sent off,Yaya could have been sent of etc etc.Even the researcher asked me if it was normal for mates to be scrapping with each other on the floor every training session.
Then all of a sudden you could put through and it seems that half way through s aying what you want to say and you get one of the muppets butting in with something sort of aggressive but not really pertaining to what I was saying or wanted to say.
I actually didn't see the "thing" that started the confrontation but only all the aftermath. No punches thrown and just Micah losing it for a moment and wanting to get to Mario. Storm in a teacup stuff with a few players getting in the middle with Mancini to calm it down.
That'll reach me to let the muppets get to me. I usually just listen and laugh but I thought I could add something to this one. WRONG.

About Micah n Mario "bust up".
TS hyping it as it could be the end for City etc
Micah already tweeted sayin him n Mario are cool, these things happen, CTID.
I only heard the end but Doug was tryna put into proportion but he got shouted over an could tell he wanted to say exactly what happened but didn't wanna breach the club's confidentiality. I could be wrong.

usual TS drivel really an incident today at training blown out of proportion and being discussed as a topic by Durham and gough inviting city fans to call in on the basis that the wheels have fallen off, lots of fans called in and took the bait Doug phoned into put some context around what had happened (storm in a teacup) without revealing any details - that's it really -

Gutted I missed that! Must have been literally seconds after I got out of the van...Durham is so irritating it's not even funny anymore.
He listed a few exaggerated rumour snippets, allied to the fact we're not in the the CL and (SHOCK HORROR!) lost our first rem game of the season and came out with 'Surely there's a case to answer?' and 'Manchester City - the wheels fully on? - don't think so!' in that oh so smug manner of his.
And here I am reacting to it as well, dammit!

Talksport = White Van Man Radio
There is an off button on the radio, or a dial that takes you to Five Live. I'd suggest either of these as a course of action.

5 live can take you to Alan Green though, my ears don't deserve that.

I normally just laugh when I hear the tossers on TS talking BS but on this occasion it got the better of me. Lesson learned.

I grew up in a family that whoever shouted louder won the argument...I think I should arrange for you to spend some time with them as it helps when you get cunts trying to bully you down in an argument.

This.
It works the same way as newspapers. If you do not like something do not pay attention to it and certainly do not call them!

There's a listen again function on the TS web site. It only appears after the current show ends but you should be able to find it later.

Was listening doug and had just read your post.Durham is the Jeremy Kyle of the radio waves. He talks to his listeners with such disrespect. Thus, I would like to knock him the fuck out. At least you tried doug,but they werent worth it.

Doug I am so disappointed in you. The fact you wasted time, money and effort even phoning up that shower of shyte of a radioshow in the first place has made me seriously reconsider the value and trustworthyness of your training reports ...

You see that's where you and I differ. As Micheal Jackson said "I'm a lover not a fighter" .... I just love watching City play great footy.
Now watch Micah lay on the perfect pass for Mario on Sunday.... Boy am I looking forward to taking my seat this weekend at the game. All the fighting, arguing, footy and goals. This City team has got to be the worst managed team in the PL.. (according to talksh*te). Should be chaos at the Etihad.... but three points I think.
In a previous life , I was a storyteller..... well, once upon a time.
