I'm only worried about two things tbh, fatigue/injuries & referees.
The only 'typical City', is how easy it is to concede a pen in a big game compared to the difficulty of 'winning' one.

Good article, but there is a glaring omission from his list of innovators. I refer to our very own Les McDowell, the architect of the Revie plan, featuring a false 9.A great article on Pep. Well worth a read.

Totally agree. City have to be so much better than the rest to win stuff.Having suffered every insult from rival fans for longer than most City supporters I think most of my contempories would actually agree with Mr Keane.
There is always that doubt or worry about which City team would turn up with us fans being the only consistently reliable part of our great Club.
Owners come and go as do players and managers however I am really impressed with the current owner and his way of employing ADUG to run City as though it was part of of his existing investment portfolio but even they must have wondered about last seasons stuttering progress.
My personal concern is that the ´´City Factor´´ of last season returns and we lose our ability to shoot within the opposing goalposts. Shots galore but most not on target.
For the time being we are consistently achieving, fingers crossed anyway.
Just to put your mind at ease, this Sunday's ref denied us 4 in the two 'big games' when he was at the controls last season, 2 at Leicester and 2 against Liverpool. And of course he gave a soft one to Liverpool.
Totally agree. City have to be so much better than the rest to win stuff.
BT coverage was good except for Ian Darke feeling the need to mention the money we have spent. Surely it doesn't need mentioning every single fucking game he comments on.
Utd fans in meltdown because they think they get a raw deal from the media too LOL. Was interesting read, though pulled this out from the discussion , by a Utd fan :
-----------------------------------------
"You've got it.
I work in the media myself, and editors will ask us to focus on the most popular teams. That means United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs, probably in that order.
Criticism of a club like United appeals to everyone. Fans of the club will want to grind their teeth and have a moan, and fans of other clubs love the schadenfreude. So a crisis article will always garner more views and clicks than an article saying the club is great - which only appeals to fans of the club concerned.
That, in a nutshell, is why 'United in crisis' articles are so popular.
Had United been bought by a royal family linked to a dodgy regime, as City have, the press would still be talking about it now. But City don't sell papers - in fact our editor once told us to avoid writing about them as it was a waste of time and money.
So just appreciate the fact you support a big club!
"
--------------------------------------
Says it all for me, no agenda, just pure clickbait and size of the fanbase. This is what we're trying to crack and until we win things the bias will always be the same. It isnt fair but its just the way things are

That's a coward's trick. Don't take your lead from others.Mate, I am a pessimist, but I'll stay at that point, rather than be a manic depressive like Marvin is.
He also almost burst when Napoli scored but barely broke sweat when City started knocking them in...!
Anyone who writes and believes this is important, possesses a micro-penis. 100%, nailed on.Utd fans in meltdown because they think they get a raw deal from the media too LOL. Was interesting read, though pulled this out from the discussion , by a Utd fan :

That kind of depends on his stance on the Wolves game. So long as he is consistent and takes the same line under all circumstances then that would be OK. I bet he isn't though as he probably doesn't think that Utd drew the Moscow CL final with Chelsea but won the tie/compstition on a penalty shoot out!According to raggie James Robson of the MUen City are on a run of 13 wins in the last 14 games...thought we had won 14...
