Well he’s no wrong. I don’t believe there is a better team out there at the minute.Drury was positively glowing in his praise for City during the BT Sport broadcast of or UCL match against Shakhtar Donetsk, anointing our side as the best in European football, clear favorites for both the P/L and C/L titles.
I genuinely think they are trying to build the side up... when in fact... an injury could hurt us badly. Let's get this right. The favourites are Real. By a country mile based on experience. Then it's Barca having won the thing countless times in between and were so dominant v Inter, then us.Well he’s no wrong. I don’t believe there is a better team out there at the minute.

I don’t think Real are favourites. Loathe him all you want, but take Ronaldo out of that team and they are far more weak than us losing a key player. He’s that good (with them). Look at where they are in the league. That’s not solely down to the manager, it’s with the loss of his goals.I genuinely think they are trying to build the side up... when in fact... an injury could hurt us badly. Let's get this right.

Why do that when you can quote:
Paul Merson
If Pep stays at City long-term, which is not a given as things can change quickly in football, then the power is with City. My slight worry with City is that there are no youngsters coming through. Phil Foden does not get a game, Jadon Sancho left - and City are not the youngest team in the world. If Pep had brought three or four kids through, then you would be thinking 'wow' but they have got the ammunition to buy the ready-made player.
Not the youngest team and no young players coming through you say?
Take a look at the rags agenda/journo threads, you'll laugh, they are absolutely convinced we have all the press in our pockets.I don’t know why everyone gets so worked up about journos.
Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence knows that journalists are widely reviled by the man in the street as muck raking truth stretching dirt balls with only a handful of noble exceptions. Due to the now now now demands of the younger generation journo standards have nosedived from an already questionable level of decency and morality to the level of writing anything controversial just to get a click. They aren’t journalists, they’re fishermen. Don’t bite.

The best one is the Martin Tyler thread, the hatred they think he has for them is unbelievable. In fact this is a post from their site owner Niall
"Tyler is such a miserable fecker when it comes to United, I'm convinced he's a massive Gooner and hates our guts"
But we on here think Tyler loves them, fuckin football forums eh, you gotta love them.
It is an absolute privilege to watch and say that I support this wonderful club and the football we play. I honestly think that no matter what the media say there are many, many people out there who know we are playing wonderful football as well
Well he’s no wrong. I don’t believe there is a better team out there at the minute.
Unable to locate a detailed report on the 6-0 win on the Daily Express on-line website. Only trolling Sterling and Guardiola, the latter for comparing the penalty incident to a Milner incident last season. Weird journalism. Surely most English football fans want to read about an English team thrashing East European opponents.
I thought it said it all when Bilic said after the game that he couldn't believe that Sterling went off and that the Croatian defenders must have breathed a sigh of relief.I think you are right was talking to a spuds fan who said how great Sterling is and he couldn't understand how he gets so much stick when playing for England...….his words " England were shit once Sterling was taken of ...no one making runs to keep the defenders busy and its not Sterling faults that englands midfield cant pick out his runs !!!!"
I thought it was a reasonably fair article actually.just read the BBC`s `how damaging are the Man City football leaks story` I know i should not have but, it raked up every piece of muck it could with absolutely no balance, that dan roan is a complete clown, he even lies twice when he said that UEFA were unaware even though they were investigating at the time , and that UEFA had not replied to the latest insinuations , when they have come out very strongly against football leaks, and at the end the clown does not even answer his question `how damaging are the Man City football leaks`? all in all the BBC should be ashamed of themselves over this unbalanced badly investigated tirade against Manchester City

'reasonably fair' eh ?I thought it was a reasonably fair article actually.
Yeah Sterling definitely didn’t dive, it was a clear referee mistake. You were by far the better team and didn’t look like conceding the whole game so obviously the result wasn’t really affected. Have to admit the media have gone way over the top on this one (I personally thought the Kompany against Burnley was worse). I’d rather be reading double page spreads on how shite we were Tuesday because until we get some proper stick I can’t see our performances getting any better any time soon! Everyone just keeps papering over the problems!
Only thing I can think of is if Sterling didn’t want to be booked for diving if he told the referee could he not have taken the penalty and just hit it wide? Seen teams do that before. You Would’ve had to have hit the media for all of the right reasons then?
I don’t think Real are favourites. Loathe him all you want, but take Ronaldo out of that team and they are far more weak than us losing a key player. He’s that good (with them). Look at where they are in the league. That’s not solely down to the manager, it’s with the loss of his goals.
We are quite rightly the favourites and it’s easy to see why.
