Alan Shearer on MOTD2 last night said; “everything about them [City] seems to be classy”

Our tactical fouling is ruining the game. Smalling hugging everyone constantly is showing love and respect. Scholes kicking lumps out of everyone is ho ho proper pro classic scholesy tackle. Launching yourself feet first at KDB is letting him know you're there. Next week Scoring ggoals is ruining the game

I am sure we all remember when the GPC set his team up to systematically hack SWP during a couple of Derby's. They were terrified of him.

The rag players would routinely take it in turns to target Shauny, and would only cease when eventually carded, then another would take over the instructions of their manager.

I can't believe these soft fuckers are trying to make something out of this. They're terrified of us in every conceivable way - and it is fucking great!

The amount of times the opposition got away with awful tackles, that should have resulted in red cards, last year and fuck all was said. It was only after about 9? horror tackles that one of the papers bothered to write something about it.

You joke but we have already made the league uncompetitive apparently and boring.

The years of utd winning it by a country mile of course was the complete opposite.

Hahahahaha so much hurt and pain for the rag media after yesterday’s humbling,they can’t come to terms that the rags are shite,but there’s always some reason for their defeats nothing to do with being outplayed,out thought,outrun and outclassed hahahahaha it’s happening the baconface days are long gone,chop and change managers who spend,spend,spend,long may it continue although to be fair they are becoming irrelevant for me we have bigger things to concern us than that shower ...

 

[sheepskin_tearaway]

I find that a good way to spot a clueless moron in the media is to see what they say when asked whether De Gea would get in the City team.

95% say yes.

Betrays an utter cluelessnessabout what city and pep are about. De Gea is a better pure goalkeeper than eddy. No doubt. But Pep would play Bravo, let alone ederson, ahead of any day of the week.

Barry Glendenning on the guardian football podcast today called our owners toe rags of the highest order

Has anyone asked if he can give reasons why our owners are toe rags without saying the word alleged & using specifics rather than hearsay.

He’s the reason why I’ve given that one up & switched to the Totally Football Show with James Richardson - would recommend it heartily

 

[CelesteItis]

He works for the Guardian.

Anyone deemed to be to the right of Mao is a toe rag according to them.

Nah, the Graun is a reactionary rag pandering blairite & tory scum and the friends of apartheid with heaps of anti Arab bigotry.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

I'm sure when the rags used to do it, it was "clever play".

And when Scholes used to do it they had a good chuckle.

I’ll give it to them, they’re relentless in trying to stop City. After this campaign finishes, it will move on to something like we should only be allowed to field 6 senior players and the rest of the team made up be under 10’s. Even then, we’d still be better than United.

I'm surprised the BBC haven't done a graphic yet on City's tactical fouling compared to other teams - the trouble is;- old auntie beeb decide what result they want to portray and then bend the facts to support it.

Cast your eyes on the twitter account of Ewan Mackenna he’s the worst of the lot

Thing is... this is entirely accurate to what the pundits say in each situation. It reads like a witty post, yet it’s also disturbingly true.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Tactical fouling has always been in the game, if some idiots think this is a City thing then more fool them

Jealousy is a horrible attribute. Anyway united couldnt make a tactical foul on sunday as they got nowhere near our players on the ball

For many years teams have come along and, like city, have won almost everything. The rags, dippers, arsenal and leeds have all had their day. I can still remember how everyone loved Notts Forest when they had their turn at glory.
Admittedly Chelsea didn`t always get the love of those wearing red shirts but even they didn`t get the type of press coverage we have had this past few years.
I haven`t bought a newspaper for years, mainly years due to this garbage they push at people. They do nothing but cause hatred within the game.
I loved it when Forest won things, even Chelsea and Arsenal in their glory years. But today it seems everyone hates us. Paranoia? I don`t think so.
Reports this morning about FFP and what UEFA could do to us is rife. Regardless of the fact that this is potentially stolen (they call it hacked like that is ok) doesn`t appear to bother the press. The fact that it is also pre- judicial also doesn`t stop them spouting their shite.
Every single game I see us getting better, stronger only to be disappointed by little points the gutter snipes bring forward. Stirling tripping up during a 6-0 win and you thought we had got through the tie unfairly. After a 3-1 hammering of the rags it was again headline news that Stirling shouldn`t have taken the piss out of the poor losers.
I do hope the club do something about this. They have lawyers and the means to be able to take on any snivelling German magazine and if we are as innocent as I hope then we need to get this all sorted.
In the meantime I continue to ignore all newspaper vendors and will not spend cash with Sky sports, who I believe are the worst offenders of the lot.
If every City fan decided not to subscribe to Sly sports and made it clear why do you think they would be happy? I`m not sure of the number but it could run into 10`s of thousands of City fans and the income from that would run into millions!
The Sun don`t like that dippers won`t buy their penny rag so imagine what Sky would be like if it was known they had lost huge amounts of cash due to piss poor reporting?
ah well. rant over. feel better now :)

Each team committed 12 fouls on Sunday. Each team had 1 yellow. Difference was every City foul Fellani or Young raced over to confront the ref. Ferni isn't even anywhere near the top foulers in the PL.

 

[Blue Llama]

it is one thing City winning what United used to own but the final twist was seen last Sunday. United came to the game in fear. That's the final role reversal and its gutting the rags and their sycophants.

 

[TonyM]

The are dreading the return fixture I’d say. ;-)

did he qualify that or was it just your standard soundbite, hoping the club have been in touch asking for such
