Yet another story with a United angle on the good 'ol Beeb.

The Class of 2016

 

[alexmcity]

Our bad start to the season makes what's hapening now feel even better.

Back then, after we lost from Spurs, or after our draw with WBA, they were writing us off and were thinking that the wheels were finally coming off, that Pep was tired or found out, that we were going to rebuild for years before finding the next Kompany, the next Fernandinho, the next David Silva, the next Aguero... They were predicting a comfortable Liverpool win or even better: Liverpool vs United for the title. Few were saying we are state owned or have a lot of money. Few, if any, fans of Liverpool or of United would have been happy to swap their squad with our squad. United fans were thinking that De Gea, AWB, Maguire, Shaw, McTominay, Fernandes, Rashford, Pogba, Cavani, etc. were better than our players. Not to mention Liverpool fans who were convinced they had the best players in almost every position.

Then, suddenly, City completely outplay Chelsea, then do the same with United, Liverpool, Spurs.... 20+ wins in a row. Badly taken by surprise, almost shell-shocked by that, the media and opposition fans are reverting to type saying we have had by far the best squad from the start and our winning run has been sort of expected. It pains them to admit that our club bosses are top businessmen, that our manager is fantastic, that our players are actually much better than they were thinking. It may be dawning to some of them that, shock horror, Pep may not be inferior to Ferguson or Klopp.

If the writer had any sense he would be asking the question why a club with bigger revenues than City can’t get near them in the league? The dividends their owners take out and the management of their loan repayments would be the answer to that at a guess?

Wasn’t it Khaldoon who basically said that we won’t be blamed for their ineptitude. Seems he knew what was coming as it’s now all our fault for their failings.

I'm glad the bbc found time to remind us of the remarkable rise of Bruno Fernandes today. Journalism at its very finest.

So he is essentially saying that City winning the Champions League with four English players in our team is bad for English football. Just a few weeks ago his pals were raving about how competitive our league was with nine different teams having hit top spot.

Looks like trouble in paradise. After years of indulging his descent into embittered insanity, looks like even Miggy has had enough of MacKenna’s defence of far right Covid deniers

You have to sit back and have nothing but admiration how he has marshalled his team to being also rans in the title race.

Fans do banter.
The media should leave the banter to them and concentrate on producing something that is a fair and accurate report on what's happening.

But back in the in the real world Mike ..................

Manchester City's dominance shows how warped football has become - The Warm-Up

Manchester City won again. This time against Wolves. That makes it 21 games on the spin. It is ludicrous and it shows how warped football has become.

Remember the same stories last year when Liverpool were miles ahead? No, me neither.

I didn't know he said that but l am glad he did and that you told us.

 

[Protein Junkie]

Second story on the albeeb football page is 'The rise of Bruno Fernandes'. Glad I cancelled my tv licence years ago as their sports section has morphed into the rags PR team.

It’s the main story on the football web page.

Well done Jackie.

She did very well in Talksport just now.

Simon Jordan schooled, resorts to no history jibes

I also wonder if this story was about in 2014 Madrid or last year with Bayern ?

She made an excellent point about paying a lot for young players in relation to possibly paying 100m for Harland. We paid 37m for Sergio in 2011. Divide that fee by the years we’ve had him, factor in the results he has given us, and it’s possibly the best piece of transfer business ever done by any team anywhere.

When we do win it - the dross they will come out with will be that we havent won it 6 times so we cant be classed as great until that happens

There was a discussion in the sky studios with carragher and the tone was city need the champions league to be a great team. Has anyone else noticed whenever the league looks wrapped up it is almost dismissed and they turn their focus to the champions league as a stick to hit us with? It happens so many times

 

[Mike Cledford]

But back in the in the real world Mike ..................

The trouble is l remember when it was part of the real world and the media printed and broadcast were outwardly totally impartial, although a local paper was known as the MUEN even in the late 70s. People like Eric Thornton and David Meek would counter each other out.

Used to be back to back titles until we did it, just like the charity shield counts for the GPC's 38 title tally, but not for pep etc etc. Enjoy the salt boys.
