I hope that this link works. It's f**king hilarious in it's desperation.
Great to see the rag tradition of scapegoating any poor fucker rather than simply admitting that they're not good enough is alive and well. They'll be resorting to that an awful lot more, as their season unravels, I suspect.

Suits us to be honest. The longer that rancorous, tactically antiquated, eye gouging, PR disaster area, remains in charge at the Swamp, the better

Pep has never once said he would make this Mcfc team the best ever. By his own admission he came to premier league to learn. The media don't want to just stay in the moment and discuss how far Pep and this group are ahead of the present rivals. Let the peasants discuss smoke screens....

For the sky blue family it is one WE have earned the right to discuss surrounded by fellow blues cradling a beer ,around a warm fire or on those long train and coach journeys. Meredith,Bell or KDB. The great side of 69 or Liverpool etc of 80's etc,etc. Barca?

For now WE will stay in the moment if YOU are to scared . CTID.

Good post mate

We get a hard time in the media, we always have. We've not won anything yet so we can't be compared to other title winning teams. When we do smash a whole host of record, they'll probably tow the line of the competition being crap, despite the league (due to extra cash) being the strongest it's ever been. 9/10 WTF.

And being worthy of nothing until we're near the title wins of the two incessant title counter history dwelling twats

"Are City the greatest Premier League team ever?"
A SKY question on the debate. A not untypical media question they then use to talk about in a way in which it's as if City fans or players had the temerity to ask. I have never heard any City fan or any City staff member mention anything remotely akin to such a bold statement. You will see others banded about in similar fashion.
"Can City win the quadrouple"
"Can City become another invincibles and go the season undefeated"
All media creations awaiting the inevitable loss at which point they can berate us with having such lofty ambitions.
Well we're half way through the season and nothing is off the table yet - I like most blues am just enjoying the ride!

The reason there asking this question is because of the fantastic football and results we have had this season and that can only be a compliment to the team.

I think you are over analysing to be honest. If the situation was reversed and United were top, and similar questions being asked, people on here would be critical of the media for fawning over them. When its written about City its not fawning but the media building us up to criticise us.

We have received loads of plaudits this year, and rightly so, while our main rivals have been pillored for their style of football, two events I have been told would never happen. See the plaudits for what they are plaudits.

Rudd knows what she is doing she really doesn’t believe we are a B+ it’s pantomime season plus she will never back down from her bias opinion even if we win the Quadruple she be still be saying yeah but there Boring Liverpool and spurs play better football

 

[kippaxwarrior]

"I'm giving City A B+ as a compliment" that's what she said

 

[aguero93:20]

At this stage she's probably just looking for attention, don't give it to her.

No, she's just a thick obstinate twat who can't admit to being wrong.

If she genuinely is that stupid, she should be pitied and not ridiculed.

Agreed, it helps that the Times podcasts are behind a paywall.
