@tonythemanc I remember 1986 when we were bitter about them lot and they were only a cup team then ..18,000 at Maine road and they weren’t bothered 🤣 oh how the times have changed , it really is the only cup final they get to see now

OMG it’s a youth game ffs how far have they fallen

@toffael @AndyBurnhamGM No we don’t

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election. I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics. Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic. Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures. However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people. Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place. I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that. Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again. ENDS

This angle...WOW PABLO IS BEING MANHANDLED BY TWO ARSENAL PLAYERS AND LITERALLY LOSES BALANCE BECAUSE OF THIS RICE DRAGS MAVROPANOS INTO THE GOAL AFTER TRYING TO BEAR HUG SUMMERVILLE TODIBO IS RECEIVING WAIST LOVE IT'S AN ABSOLUTE FARCE I WONT GET OVER

@piersmorgan Cheating bastards

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!

@TheEngancheEra City beat Bayern and Madrid by 4 goals each and you played who ??? Don’t even compare please …oh and we had a cup final against Utd the week before

Klopp got to face fucking Spurs in his CL final win… Pep got to face Inter… We’ve got to face this demonic PSG side if we win this will surpass both of those wins by a country mile.

@RichardBurgon Your more bothered about the situation in Israel than potholes in Leeds , time to go

Well done to the Leeds Labour candidates elected today. But I’m absolutely gutted for the brilliant Labour candidates who’ve lost to Reform in East Leeds. In East Leeds and up and down the country, hard-working Labour councillors and other Labour representatives lost their seats today after being badly let down by the terrible decisions of this Labour leadership, despite serving their communities so well. Their defeat has Keir Starmer’s name written all over it. Too many people now feel Labour is no longer on their side and no longer shares their values. The consequences of these elections for our party are stark. Labour faces an existential crisis, and there is a real danger we may never recover. What’s more, we risk opening the door to a Nigel Farage government. No progressive party faced with that threat can simply carry on regardless until it is too late to stop it happening. It is clear that Keir has fought his last election as Labour leader and, deep down, he will know it. The party should now work towards a timetable for an orderly transition to a new leader by the end of this year. Our party will only get one chance to get this right. We cannot become like the Tories, lurching from leader to leader. So we need time for a calm, open and democratic leadership contest that allows a serious debate about what has gone so badly wrong and the vision we need to win back people’s support. It must also allow a full range of candidates to stand, without the exclusions and stitch-ups that have come to dominate our party’s internal democracy, as we saw most recently in the Gorton and Denton selection. Above all, this process must be about choosing the best candidate to stop Nigel Farage and prevent his Trump-style agenda from winning the keys to No. 10.

@DavidLammy @UKLabour What we need is you to stand down with Starmer it’s over , decent labour support ended a long time ago, resign .

As these tough election results come in, we thank and pay tribute to our councillors who have served their communities brilliantly for many years. The last thing the British people need now is Labour turning inward and losing focus on them. Keir Starmer won a huge mandate less than two years ago. Now we must get on with delivering change faster for the British people.

@crosswayspod @IanWright0 You let your son down this week Ian , talking absolute rubbish about city and the charges just to bring attention to the title race against city , sad to see really !

“City should offer her that AND MORE” 📑 Watch Crossways on Spotify and YouTube.

@YvetteCooperMP Stop supporting the welfare state and get back to supporting working class people like the labour party of old , we are sick of paying for the lame and lazy and illegals

As I said earlier, these have been really tough results today - including in Wakefield. As the PM has said, this is now a time for serious, calm-headed reflection, because following these results, we must listen and respond, but do so in a steady, thoughtful and reflective way.

@bphillipsonMP It’s time for him to resign he’s lost the support of the labour voters in the north of England . No way back

These have been a very difficult set of elections. I’ve felt that in Sunderland. But the answer is not to turn inwards. It’s to take responsibility, come together & face up to the challenges ahead. Keir has won before, he can win again. We need to deliver change, not chaos.

@PeterStefanovi2 You’ve changed absolutely nothing , reversed too many decisions and don’t represent the working class anymore , resign now for the good of the party

BREAKING: Prime Minister Keir Starmer says he will not resign “I’m not going to walk away and plunge the country into chaos”

@Awaydays23 City fans took a banner around the pitch at half time wishing palace good luck in the cup final the following Saturday

ON THIS DAY 1990: Manchester City at Crystal Palace

@Alarsenalnews_ It’s an air bus , its wings deploy at Madrid airport and it lands safely at Gatwick. It then converts back into bus mode for the final few miles , hope this helps

Someone explain to me like im a 5yrs old how Atlético Madrid's team bus came to London

@pizzy_kay He was financially secured for life before city stopped paying his wage already , he shouldn’t have put his self in the situations he did regardless of what he did or didn’t do

@pizzy_kay Failed to pay my child support …🤣 absolute b/s the man who was on 80k a week , cry me a river

🚨🎙️Benjamin Mendy: "I struggled to pay my child support when Man City stopped paying me. I felt awful. Raheem Sterling, Bernardo Silva and Riyad Mahrez all lent money to help me pay my legal fees and support my family." Fair play to the real ones who helped out. 👏🏽

@Ticketmancity @MailSport Don’t be fucking dickheads , show some respect, bellends …I’m old school city fan , your embarrassing lads

@AFTVMedia 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that guy swallowed nothing you 🔔 end

COME ON YOU GUNNERS!! 𝐋𝐄𝐓’𝐒 𝐆𝐄𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐍! 🫵 #RoadTrip #Arsenal #ManCity

@piersmorgan Remember a month ago when you said we will win the quad ! Who can beat us you said ? Bottle jobs …you’re the reason why everyone hates Arsenal . Totally deluded fan base

@piersmorgan Nothing to play for ?? They are playing for what you do every season , a place in Europe with no trophy

How could Bournemouth, who have nothing to play for, look like they wanted it ten times as badly as Arsenal who have a chance to win the League for the first time in 22yrs?? Just f*cking inexplicable.

@jonmikesav8 The man who laughed at city “ not in my lifetime… now it’s every time “ deserves every boo , stay in salford your not welcome in Manchester

Sir Alex getting booed at the Etihad. The man has 51 trophies. City have 44.
