‘Rodri’s Ballon d’Or, Ricky Hatton!’ – Manchester City suffer rare humiliation reserved for Premier League rivals live on radio
Manchester City fans will have become accustomed to hearing ‘Has anyone seen?!’ digs aimed at rivals on talkSPORT. However, the reigning Premier League champions got their own taste of Jason Cundy’s iconic jibe after their winless run was extended. It went from bad to worse for City at AnfieldGetty City were beaten 2-0 by Premier League leaders Liverpool on Sunday to make it six defeats from their last seven in all competitions. They are 11 points adrift of the Reds and fifth in the Premier League, with five consecutive league title wins now looking highly unlikely. Pep Guardiola’s side still have an abundance of world-class talent in their squad, but their ruthless side has gone AWOL as of late. And City’s sharp decline in form has presented Cundy with a rare opportunity to poke fun at City with his classic Sports Bar antics alongside co-host Jamie O’Hara. The pundit made the most of it on Monday night’s edition of the show by jokingly taking aim at famous names, fans and landmarks. “Haaaaaaaaassssss anyone seen Manchester City?” with a huge smile on his face he shouted. “Blue Moon, can you hear me Blue Moon? Your boys took one hellllll of a beating! “Seven games without a win! Noel Gallagher, can you heaaaarrrr me Noel?
