Bleacher Report's football Twitter account's last three tweets: The middle one has been used multiple times already.







And wouldn't that last one just imply that we had more key players injured than others? It's well noted that we were 3rd or 4th in wages last season, so with that few missed games compared to the others it would seem that our higher-paid (or better) players missed more time.

That last 1 certainly does seem fishy.
 
Top put down by a Blue on BBC 5Live who were looking into our spending.
Julien Laurens (very fairly) was saying Mendy has a lot to learn defensively BUT is a very good player and with the best manager to develop. The host laughed at the money spent on a defender who isn't known for his defending!
Then someone tweeted in: 'We buy defenders to attack. Mourinho buy's attackers to defend. I know what I'd rather watch.'
Pat Nevin agreed and there was an uneasy silence

Remember when down at the swamp they used to chant "attack, attack, attack attack attack"?

Reckon Mourinho will get them singing "defend, defend, defend defend defend"?
 
Real Madrid are on the verge of buying one player for the same price we've bought 4 with and not show of indignation from the press.
 
If and when Everton pay £50 million for Sigurdsson and the dippers pay £60 million for VVD then the penny may just drop, maybe just maybe we'll see.
 
Sly sports are reporting our new away kits colour is DARK PINK have you ever heard such utter s**t...some colour blind feckers must work there aswell as liers

Sly Sports News have just done a piece on Mendy. Showed a few answer and question clips from City TV.

They then did a list of the 8 most expensive defenders. City had 4.

Then they totaled up a possible starting 11 for next season. £100mill's.

Then they compared it to the cost of Brighton's possible starting against us.

Didn't even reach £50mill.

Now, I don't recall Sly Sports News doing that for United or another PL club.

C***'s!

The narrative is always totally different for other clubs. For the rags their spending is to be celebrated, Chelsea, Arse and the dippers it's to be expected. For us it's horrific, nauseating, chavvy even.
Remember when the DM was winking itself stupid over Pep and doing all their articles on why Pep would go to each one of the 'big' clubs. All the comments from the glory hunters getting carried away then he rocks up at City and straight away he's a fraud, cheque book manager etc
 
BBC sports web page already dropped the Mendy story. Hernandez to west ham still on there and transfer stories for a number of clubs including Peterborough. Content of their web site clearly dictated by the red ant hill at media city.

Worst journalist is Jackson of the Guardian. Incredible the utter shite he comes out with. Mind you Herbert of the Independent gives him a run for his money

Herbert's naffed off to the Mail now. He's quite good when he's not writing about on-pitch stuff or anything surrounding it closely. He was writing about the tennis I think.

It does, yes. The Utd injury count included loads of kids to make the number bigger.
Stats, don't you love 'em?
