I'm not sure where else to put this but after talkSport's 'Celtic are bigger than City' nonsense topic. I've been reading all sorts of arguments to try and do City down and support the claim. Stuff like: "Celtic have twice the number of supporters clubs as City do." That is easy enough to deal...

Yeah, I don't think it has much use either. Plus CFG aren't owned by a state and the arena is only joint owned by them. I'd also wager, the people of Manchester would rather have the investment and redevelopment than not have it, even if he's a billionaire from the UAE. People still watched the...

I made a post about the poll but deleted it because I didn't want to keep the thread off topic. But since there's no hope for this thread... There's actually a fair question or two to be asked about the validity of that data. How was the poll conducted? How many people voted? Since the page...

I would think it's still part of the revenues/accounting data submitted to the PL and UEFA.

That reminds me, the FA Cup win bonus, is one argument the whatsapp group always like to bring up, while using their best smug face but it doesn't seem to be part of the PL charges and it wasn't with UEFA's. Is that because it's not a significant enough amount, to argue a sporting advantage was...

'It's coming up to 10 o'clock. In others news, it was revealed that no City or Wales fans voted for talksport, for the award they picked up earlier in the week. We've got Jim on line one: Jim youure nort haappey. Tell us your thoughts on that, go ahead Jim'

Surprised to see the Chelsea financial irregularities got some interest from the press recently, not much furore in their coverage of it though or any attempts to whip the PL fans up into a frenzy. The tactic that they've consistently employed for any City news of a similar nature. Had a look on...

So that's around: 46% for Liverpool at Anfield, based off their being 28k ST holders(27k + 1k added with the increased capacity), 67% for Arsenal at the Emirates. based off there apparently being 40k ST holders in 2023. 67% for United at Old Trafford, based off there being 50k ST holders in...

Promo-Video released on youtube earlier this week: It's the first time I've seen that Ziggy-Haaland artwork(did they make it especially for the promo?). That would look great on a banner or flag. :)

Might not be a popular opinion here but I don't think City need more season card holders. I think the club would much prefer the percentage of season card occupancy to be more at the levels of the rest of the big 6. Does anyone have any official figures on season card percentages from the big 6...

Goldbrige at it again. Says he's watched it back 50 times and he doesn't think Doku touches the ball. A stonewall pen and City should be out of the title race. Webb was right the ball was too low to head for one. I've played the slowmo back at 0.25 speed and I'm fairly certain: Doku was...

Has there been a new podcast with Stefan and Harris or are people catching up on the other one from a few weeks back? I don't know how anyone saw that and thought Harris came out on top.

As someone said, it wasn't really in the know City information, just Colin trying to piece things together. That was because of something in the emails about 'H.H securing funding from elsewhere' which was being used as a smoking gun argument. Someone will be along to clear this up properly no...

That's why I pointed out this answer he gave in an old interview, in the media thread . He talks about trust fund babies and inherited money. He says he has no respect for people like Eddie or Sheikh Mansour because in his eyes, they've not earned the right to have what they have: Some may...

Much like netspend spend comparisons ceased to be a talking point, as soon as it became clear it was making United look bad. I do feel it's worth pointing out, that the catchphrase 'whataboutery' seems to be a far less popular word recently. We should be reminding every journo and pundit, who...

There was never really a big 5 in the 80s though IMO. From what I can deduce, that was a PR campaign bought and paid for by those very clubs. The original plan set in the late 80s, was obviously to create a legitimate big 5 in the PL era. Then it quickly became a big 3, when it eventually...

ITV just had Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer on, in an interview about the independent regulator. They seemed to be trying to get her off the subject of protecting small clubs from the start, on to state ownership and super rich owners. Ed Balls, was trying to corner her and draw parallels...

As for Anfield, I think it's less about the crowd for our players than it is about the record City have there, being a mental block. Even I was thinking, 'same old same old' as soon as Ake made that mistake at the back. We've managed to make Spurs away a big thing, probably the only big 6 club...

That's kind of how I saw it too. Had he not got the ball first, then it would have been a stonewall pen but since he did, it's a 50/50 that could have gone either way. I'd rather he would have been braver and stuck his head on it, then we don't have to have the conversation though. I'm sure he...

Disappointed with that performance overall, we were our own worst enemies as a team in that game. Gifting possession needlessly all over the pitch, especially at the back, basically offering the opposition players and the crowd all the encouragement they needed in that second half to stay on...
