Obviously Ferguson was better but I always respected Guardiola's ability as a manager. However the thing being ignored by most journos and pundits in that debate, the thing understood by all football fans in this country, is tat Man City cheated to get where they are and all the titles and accolades collected over the last 15+ years are illegitimate.

Hi MK and Karol
The British host you played a clip of was Alex Phillips who sits in for JHB and fills her time slot on Fridays. The way to tell them apart is Alex is a blonde, JHB is brunette. I like JHB but Alex is much sounder and stood for election in 2019
Also I think people have the impression she was interviewing Defense Secretary Wes Streeting but she is on Talk TV/ Talk aRadio and Streeting would never, ever appear on there with a host like her, they are the improper station that tells it like it is, as much as you can anyway with equal time laws.
It's to the point where their sister station, talkSport refers people to Times Radio for news rather than TalkRadio, the milieu of the Times being middle class tea drinking snobs. We have a sickness in this country of simultaneously wanting to be above it all while also not wanting to put the eirhad above the parapet.
Enjoying your show as always!
When the right attacks the policies of the left it is "divisive" and "hateful". When the left attacks the entire being and history of the nation, never mind the right, it is "bold" and "inspiring". I am sick to death of fleet street journos claiming what a nice guy Andy Burnham is. I don't know, will never know him, he is not my mate and from where I stand he is a gaslighting tritor who none of us voted for.
Andy Burnham:
Deindustrialization, deregulation, privatization, austerity, Brexit—and what has it given us?
A country run for vested interests, not in the public interest, with power held in too few hands and too many places left to drift.
The claim being put about that Man City fans are blameless in all this is totally false - 1) They sold out, looked the other way and have had a fine time lording it over everyone else for over a decade 2) rbf there are not many of them around but I have neve met or interacted with a single Man City fan who hasn't been obnoxious and/or underhanded, they deserve everything they get (and more since they'll get only a slap on the wrist)
No coincidence the Premier League dropped the Man City news in international break - less people locked in on football news so less outrage when the "pnishment" turns out to be a love tap.
116 charges for Man City should be death penalty stuff and they should obviously kicked out of the league and banned for a minimum of 8 years but at most you'll see a hefty fine, as small a pts deduction as they can get away with and maybe some cosmetic title stripping.
How many times does it have to be said "they did it so we are just copying themn" is the dumbest justification of bad policy possible? The way to handle it is allow "favorable" outlets more access, not kick out the ones you don't like. As always, so petty and childish. And all these guys from the President on down to Vance's DoD plants will still be exclusively calling politico and axios to gripe about the "neocons".
REPORTER: "Do you think it's appropriate for the president to be banning media outlets just because he doesn't like what they report?"
VANCE: "I take some issue with the premise... If you're going to engage in what is effectively far-left propaganda, why would a Republican White House give you special access?"
Goal was coming - every time they have the ball they go forward and we back off. Every time we have the ball we go sideways, back and get outmuscled. Absolutely zero heart #MUFC
Run Hide Fight Infidels 5/10 has its moments but suffers from a few fatal flaws most notably
- too much stormtrooper aiming and mutant healing factor
- too many characters
- too on the nose, if it were just an 8/10 rather than 15/10 on right-wingedness it would be way more tolerable
