The Football.....

[roubaixtuesday]

My most sincerest contrafibularities to the Oiligarchs after they were spanked by the reds of Liverpool this avvy. You can concentrate on taking the league to your Emirates overlords after that, cant you? And your fans were an absolute disgrace in the supposed minute's silence so you deserve what you got rammed up you.

Magnanimous in victory as we'd expect from Liverpool fans.

City were terrible first half.

FWIW and if anyone's interested there was a lot of confusion over the silence. It was introduced as a "minute's remembrance" and where we were that was interpreted as a minute's applause. When it became apparent it was supposed to be silence, that stopped, then some chanting started elsewhere, which I think might have been latecomers arriving from the concorse, though not sure about that.

None of which, I hasten to add, excuses it, but it was all a bit chaotic.

With all due respect to Wales, you do realise Belgium are currently ranked second in the world?

To be fair they were ranked second in the world when we "wiped the floor" with them at Euro 2016!

But, my sensible head doesn't hold out much hope as with all these games in quick succession we do not have a deep enough squad to cover injuries / suspensions.

Ha, spanked! Was the pub good? It sounds like you had a few.

"Spanked" is normally the term for something like a 4 nil, not a 3-2 against a team who for some reason played the game without their main spine. Always classy in victory, Liverpool fans.

Pub? I was at the match. And how did it 'sound' when it was written?

And City played at what we should regard as finding their equilibrium which - being generous - is exactly where they'd be without the Emirates oil money.

An absolute spanking...

I do, but I've no idea why they are ranked so highly as they've won absolutely f*ck all.

The rankings are an utter joke anyway.

Agree with rankings - USA ahead of Croatia, come on

They make no sense to me. How can Brasil be top of the pile when they haven't won the World Cup for 20 years? They've not even been in the top 3!

Even using FIFA's own rules I don't understand how that's possible.

No-one's saying ALL Manchester City fans joined in but a significant number did and it was getting louder. The fans - who must have been so ashamed of being unable to observe a silence for one minute - spent the next 90 minutes making up for it. If it wasn't so bad, the club wouldn't have had to release an apology. Your attempt at a cover-up sounded as hollow as Rees-Mogg's claim about 'Ester redemption' and doesn't work for me.

It was very disappointing because ordinarily, we have no problems with their fans unlike the fans of the other club with Manchester in their name, as we'll see tomorrow night. I'm involved in a court case (on the jury) this week so hope I get away in time to get there.

Your attempt at a cover-up

Give it a rest.
