The in-game commentary was decent for both teams and quite a lot of praise for Raheem but then, up pops RatBoy 2. Instead of how we played, the difficult conditions or even how the new regulations affected the game, we got a full analysis of how bad Raheem played and how he could've done better. This, from a second rate player who was only shoehorned in because of the brother.
To finish the piece off he believed that Raheem should've took the keeper on instead of playing the dead cert to Nolito before Murphy comes on to say Stoke were a little 'unlucky'.
I've noticed many of the major media outlets are starting to come around since the appointment of Pep but one outlet still decided to deride whatever we do, all in an effort to appease all that is Red.
Was it MOTD where someone was spouting on about how great it was that the most expensive player in the world is playing in the PL? I certainly saw it somewhere on the box, and immediately pictured what the story would be if we'd signed him.
Why the fuck are those twats treated like some sort of conquering heroes when they pay fortunes, and we're treated like pariahs?
Apparently they have every right to spend the money they've earned, unlike any other team. Inflating the market, buying the league or just being obscene does not apply to them, only the challengers.
This is what many in the media have been waiting for, the chance for the Rags to get back to their rightful place. Nothing will stand in their way, especially the PL or referees.
The question is, are they relevant?
It's going to be a long season.
