When all this omicron thing dies down they'll probably discover a scouse variant.

They normally play the under 23s with Milner as captain in the FA cup! Hopefully the FA have more backbone and tell them to fulfill the fixture or forfeit it. Given the next couple of midweek games are now taken with the rearranged League Cup semi final, it doesn’t leave many options to play it, especially before the next round commences. And once European competition starts again it further diminishes the slots available.

Mase wrote:Eight men who sued Manchester City after saying they were abused by paedophile Barry Bennell more than 30 years ago have lost a High Court fight.
The men said he abused them when they played for teams he coached in north-west England between 1979 and 1985.
Mr Justice Johnson ruled that it had not been shown that City was "legally responsible for Bennell's acts of abuse".
The lawyer who represented the men said they were "shocked and dismayed".
The men, now in their 40s and 50s, claimed Bennell was a scout for City when they were abused and argued the relationship between the paedophile and the Premier League club was "one of employment or one akin to employment".
City denied the claims and told the court the 68-year-old was a local scout in the mid-1970s but not when the men were abused.
Bennell, who is in prison after being convicted of numerous sexual offences against children in recent years, denied being linked to City in the 1980s when he gave evidence during the High Court trial.
I really feel for the guys that have had their lives ruined by this monster. But blaming City because they previously employed him isn’t right, and correctly got thrown out.

I'd have done the nonce in when I grew up - though I've read that of course he only picked on quieter, weaker boys. I'm afraid that I'm a bit old school Mase - most of us had pretty traumatic childhoods in some way back in the day - Can't help thinking some people only came forward declaring a ruined life when they heard the 2 words Manchester and City

Jurgen Klopp says a Covid outbreak that led to the postponement of Liverpool's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Arsenal had "a lot of false positives".
The Reds said a "severe outbreak" at the club meant they could not field a team against the Gunners.
However, Klopp says defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is the only player to actually test positive.
Who is taking the piss out of who? Always smell a rat with this shower of cunts
