It's the exchange rate, they're quoting the price in sterling as it would be today, the morons.

Sergio FEELS like a 2nd class citizen (they missed an easy pun but no way they would draw attention to the clubs marketing efforts), yet no sources, nothing. Just some cunt looking to stir up City based on resentment. Scum.


I've been a big reader of them over the past few years as I found their coverage amusing, particularly their transfer rumours write ups and even the Football Weekly podcast had its charm (now that James Richardson is gone not as good anyway, even if he also "underrated Silva), but they are losing my faith rapidly. In fact, it's barely there anymore, as I mostly comment to counter their writings and all of the other comments on there that are quite awful and beyond lacking in nuance, to say the least.

This is a pattern, and no one can see it apparently. I referred to this in the zabba's post their article about Pep, his brother and Gironoa. It's really getting quite bad:

I love the way Wiggy is being portrayed as an "Everton star" in all the DD and shagging stories. No mention of him being a rag for the last thirteen years.
Every time Joey B smacks someone he's an ex Manchester City player.
Just hope Ballo's started to behave himself.

Haha! So true. Even Chris Killen (think he was done for a sexual assault) was referred to as a former Manchester City player. Think he played a couple of games for us.

They missed a trick, it should have been 'former Manchester City target Rooney'. Sloppy work boys.

Fascinating concept JC......and the Mars Bar could even be deep fried to cater for associated trends 'North of the Border'.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention, as it could be potentially a revolutionary development if applied universally. ;) ;)

In Rooney's case it looks like he's been eating the profits.

No Agenda !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from the mirror. ENGLAND FOOTBALL TEAM
"It looks like the Etihad!" Fans react as thousands of seats are empty for Slovakia clash
The Three Lions' clash with Slovakia was billed as the key contest in England's bid to reach next summer's World Cup, but it was impossible to avoid just who wasn't there

Gosh, are you saying that Wembley wasn't packed to the rafters last night with fervent fans cheering the National Team onto World Cup glory ?? I'm surmising that the England Band were there in full flow, with their exciting repertoire, to entertain everyone throughout and to fully add to the atmosphere ??.

I've been digging around however, but can't seem to find out what last night's attendance was; does anyone who watched the game have any idea ?? It seems to have been overlooked in the match reports on the Internet this morning

Yes I think the commentators said 68,000 plus, but I was being distracted by a young lady st the time so wasn't paying full attention.

Motty to retire from the BBC at the end of the season. So many of their pundits could learn a lot from him still.
