Andy Jacobs, very bitter towards us. He seems to have forgotten Chelsea would have won sweet fa without their owner.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, if so I apologise, but there is an excellent article in next week's Radio Times by Simon Barnes. Fulsome praise for us and especially KDB.

It didn't mention money or oil once!!!

Next weeks radio times? Did it have this weeks lottery numbers in it?

This was deemed to be 'Breaking News' on the BBC Sports website
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42820032
Pathetic really how simply Maureen can say 'Alexis Sanchez has moved from a "fantastic club to a giant club" after joining Manchester United from Arsenal' and it's breaking news!
Sums up BBC Sport as rag central.

To be fair, even my rag workmate said WTF when he saw that breaking news.

I will have the 4 Mancs and a dog but the tumbleweed doesn't always support City, it depends on which way the wind is blowing.

Excellent...

MUEN regurgitating a SUN report that City looking to swap Kun for Griezman.
ESPN - Mou accusing Pep of sour grapes over Sanchez decision to join them.

They will publish anything to try to generate sales / views to stir up aggro against City.

Yes Chelsea pay higher wages than us and always have done. Just more fake news I'm afraid. What concerns me about these sort of stories is that no one challenges what people like Conte says. Arsene Wenger makes comments about financial doping but his club has even wealthier owners than Abramovich and the sixth highest revenues in world football. Again no one challenges it. Most of our sports media is truly sub-standard.

Substandard isn't the word I would have used.

how was the tardis?

Larger inside than it appeared outside! Wearing well. :-)

I have the Radio Times for the following week delivered on the Tuesday of the previous week. It enables me to plan my recordings accordingly. Unfortunately I don’t get the lottery numbers. :-)

Haven't Chelsea got a bigger wage bill than us?

£244m for us. £256m for Chelsea as of last season. Not to mention that both first team squads have added £200m or near as dam it this season.
It's total bullshit, as pointed out, why is this not questioned.

It was us & PSG in the summer, PSG spending £200m on one player, us spending less on one player than Chelsea, United, Arsenal & Liverpool.

It gets boring.

Call in, tell him.

Chelsea.

Drinkwater, Rudiger, Zapacosta, Bakayoko, Barkley, Morratta, cost circa £200m.

City,

Ederson, Walker, Danilo, Mendy, Bernardo. Cost circa £200m.

I would imagine wages are similar.

The only way to make these impartial reporters and commentators eat their words is to start winning champions leagues...

they will simply raise the bar ie `come back when you have won it 3 times`. city have never had a team capable of winning the cup even this year Psg look good with their 400 million pound strikers , Look back at who the last 3 english winners of the champions league played all the way to the finals and you will know why we have not won it yet,

Exactly.

If and when we win anything it will always be framed in a poor light, how many times have you won it? It was a poor competition anyway and with the money you've spent etc, etc.

 

[franksinatra]

This season and the way we have played has been framed in anything but a poor light. We have been lauded continuously for our play and being talked about as one of, if not the greatest side of all time, even though we have not won anything yet.

Not sure why were always trying to run the coverage down we get on this forum rather than enjoy all the plaudits being written about us.[/QUOTE]

It is certainly a mystery. I think now Kolarov has left, positive media coverage, great football it still provides an outlet.

It's a cross we have to bear sadly, the vested interest of a ruthless fake-news factory like sky is always going to be as negative as possible. What we are doing on the pitch though is gaining credibility among the legions of neutrals not blinded by loyalty to yesterdays news. We are the most entertaining, most adventurous team in England by miles, carry on like this and the sneers and slurs will look ever more like biased and inaccurate sour grapes. The rags and dipper obsessed media are fighting a losing battle, though they wont give up, but as long as we stick to the blueprint as scripted by Pep and CFG the future is ours.

Red Caf seem to think we have the press in our pocket. The fawing over Pep has never been seen before in top flight football.

WTF......the exact opposite. The media are desperate for pep to fail.

I have wasted too much time, too much money and too much emotional energy watching football for last 45 years from conference to premier league.

I can easily acknowledge this Man city side plays the best football I have ever, EVER seen.......why can't the rag media !

 

[Skip Donoghue]

When the rags were sponsored by Audi I was in the process of buying a Merc (a used one) from Mercedes Macclesfield and I asked the salesman if any footballers came in with Prestbury being just round the corner
The guy wasn't a football fan as he told me that Wayne Brown (obviously meant Wes Brown) had been in recently and had done a deal for two cars and with Audi sponsoring the rags, Mercedes were desperate to get him seen in their vehicles. So Wes got a Merc SL500 for himself and an SLK for his Mum, both at £199 per month

As for the Chevy's, I do believe there's a car park full of them that the rag players refuse to drive

When the Rags 1st got sponsored by Chevrolet all the 1st team players and coaches got to choose a Chevrolet car the majority went for the sporty type one that's in the transformers movies don't know what it's called but that's what they all got....the thing was the cars were all left hand drive and at Carrington the buzzer for the security gate is on the right as you drive up this meant any player using this enterance had to get out off his car and press the buzzer to get in, this obviously became a pain so the car park at Carrington ended up looking like a Chevrolet car show room as each player and coach started to leave them and go back to their own car
