Yeah, because Stan Collymore reads books about great revolutionaries. Riiiiiiiight...

This pond scum has chosen to stick with the path that almost every other media fuckwit has since diverted from, having seen the way we are heading.

The more he spits now, the more of a fuckwit he's going to look every passing week.

Sit back and enjoy.

Fuck Robinho and the rag wanking Beeb!

loved this patriotic dig at Lord Sugar by Stu on the MUeN, instead.

Lord Sugar's Manchester City criticism should get him fired!

The former Tottenham chairman and 'The Apprentice' star had a pop at Man City's spending but got it wrong, wrong, and wrong again.

Some excellent pieces by Samuel in today's Mail.

Oumar Niasse's case is so simple... the Everton forward dived, it's cheating

Everton requested a personal hearing for Oumar Niasse over his diving charge. Maybe that was the problem. If Niasse said to the commission what he told the media after the game with Crystal Palace, he was always going to get weighed off.

'It was on my upper body and when I felt the contact, I was in the box, so that is it,' Niasse explained. 'That is all I have to do. Go on the floor. If you watch the video, you can understand there is contact.'

That is less justification, more confession. Where does it say it is a foul if there is contact with a forward in the penalty area? Football is a contact sport. Players collide or come together all the time. So the best that can be said of Niasse is a language barrier prevented him expressing himself clearly. The worst is that he admitted he dived.

Rewind that statement. 'I felt contact. I was in the box, so that is it. All I have to do. Go on the floor.' Nowhere does this suggest that Scott Dann's contact, which appears minimal, sent him tumbling.

Niasse does not claim he was tripped by Dann, knocked to the floor, even pushed a little. He talks about his reaction, not as unavoidable, but as a decision he made: to go on the floor. And that's a dive. Whichever way you slice it, that's a dive, and that's cheating. So Niasse deserved his two-game ban, even if there was contact.

We have come so far in our pragmatism that we have muddied our language along with our moral code. We have invented so many euphemisms for what is, at root, dark-hearted gamesmanship that we have started to believe their legitimacy. He 'made the most of it'. No, he dived. He 'gave the referee a decision to make'. No, he dived. He 'feels the contact and is entitled to go down'. No, he's not, and that's a dive, too.

Why would Foden leave Pep?

After Manchester City's win against Feyenoord this week, a studio discussion over the future of Phil Foden concluded that the best thing for his development would be a loan move to a Championship club.

Harry Redknapp and Martin Keown were certainly in favour and no doubt will not be alone. Many professional observers feel it is better to play matches, even inferior ones, rather than wait for an opportunity at an elite club.

Yet, given what we have seen of City this season, why would any young player wish to move out of the orbit of Pep Guardiola? Indeed, if we could hand over all of England's best youth players to learn football his way, the future would be instantly brighter.

Guardiola has been including Foden in his first-team plans since the summer, and talking him up to anyone who would listen since the middle of last season.

Smalling needs to add to his game, not his trophy cabinet

Chris Smalling said he was surprised Gareth Southgate excluded him from England's friendly fixtures with Germany and Brazil. He pointed to Manchester United's excellent defensive record this season, and his own list of achievements with them — 'every trophy bar the Champions League' — as proof the England manager got it wrong. He added that if his run continues, it would give Southgate no option but to pick him.

Don't complain, Conte - you could be at West Brom

If Antonio Conte does not want to play in the Champions League, he has options. West Brom, for instance. There is a club whose schedule is very rarely complicated by European commitments, and they're in the market for a manager. No doubt they'd be delighted to have Conte on the rebound from a long flight back to London. He'd be out of their class under normal circumstances.

It's criminal for Irons to call 999

Embarrassingly, West Ham supporters have been asked to stop phoning 999 to vent their frustration after matches. Essex Police have taken so many calls from irate fans, they issued a statement following Sunday's defeat by Watford.

Playing safely is not a tall order

Andy Carroll, we are told, is often penalised by referees just for being big. He uses his arms for leverage when jumping, goes the argument — everyone does it, but it looks worse from him because he's so tall.

How to explain, then, the relatively unblemished career of Peter Crouch? continues...

Did Yaya get a mention?

I wasn't really listening until it was almost over. Has Yaya scored more PL penalties than Aguero? Aguero (10th highest number of penalties scored) was the last that they guessed. They didn't even get it immediately when given the clue that he'd just broken the club record for goals scored.

Oh, so it's most penalties scored rather than most prolific.

Just looked it up. Aguero has scored 16/20 in PL.

Yaya has scored 11/11. (the most prolific in PL with 10 or more pens taken)

Just 2 points mate:

Number 1. Do you expect TalkSport to do any real research?

Number 2. If they did do the research, do you actually expect them to mention our club in a positive light, that will piss off the Rag hordes?

I believe Yaya is the most prolific while Sergio's record is up there with the best, even though some Blues can't even see it.

What's wrong with their research? It was about the most penalties scored, not the most 'prolific'. Is it not true that Aguero's 16 penalties (figure from FiBD) is the 10th most by anyone in PL times?

As for the research and mentions, someone did the research and the presenters did the guessing. There was no positive or negative light about it, just a matter of record. That the presenters didn't think of Aguero as one of the highest penalty scorers (albeit only just) was telling though. That they almost forgot Rooney (the penultimately guessed one) was amusing - he's now anonymous, yesterday's man now that he's at Everton. These presenters think in terms of, and like to be associated with, success and popularity.
