Totally agree with you. I stated earlier it was great for non City English fans. Won the game and a chance to whine about Raheem. If not him it would have been Stones,Walker or Foden.

Totally ignored that the England side has City players at its heart with 3-4 players on the field for nearly all the time. Grudging credit for Sterling in some quarters even though he has been the best player whilst Stones and Walker are relatively ignored in comparison to rags Maguire and Shaw. Potential rag Sancho and others bigged up over Foden.

Remember over a third of the England side on the field at the final whistle against Denmark are City players. Similarly for Spain in the semis with KdB Belgiums outstanding player. Not forgetting Portugal where Cancelo missed out.

Even Bobby Manc is ex-City :)

A lot of people hurting.

Beginning to wish someone else got that penalty for us, you know, someone who would have "won the penalty" with his driving runs into the box terrifying Denmarks defenders into making Rash challenges.

As it is, Sterling will be the one having his confidence challenged by the whingers, racists, opposing fans, bitter pundits and vile media, all desperate for it to go wrong for him and probably England.

I hope we win it easily on sunday with a great display.

Grealish was praised for 'winning a foul' in the first couple of minutes on the pitch. He will find the praise will disappear if he comes to City.
Personally l don't see what is so good about getting a free kick once the whole defence has got organised ready for Kane to hit the wall or Magliar to attempt to slab it.

On TalkSport it seems to be all about Sterling and Kane diving rather than the fact England made it to the final. Saying that, it’s being presented by a Scotsman who has to be controversial to keep the listeners engaged, even if in anger.

Good to see Townsend sticking up for the guys though.

I was listening to that debate. First words out of shoutys mouth was Sterlicheat and diver blah blah. Then some scouse prick having a go at Kane and Sterling for diving, before Townsend asked him if any Liverpool players dived at the first gust of wind. The reply.... we aren't talking about Liverpool.... end of call
 
Was listening to 606 and how everybody was surprised at how well England was controlling possession and that their game management was so good after Kane's penalty. It got me thinking. While Southgate has undoubtedly done well, I think Pep has had a big influence on the style of football we play in this country we're now seeing in this England team. It's no surprise all the City lads have been superb. Yet the media can't quite admit it can they ?

It’s the hypocrisy that gets me.
If England had been knocked out they would have calling for Sterling to have gone down. After all it’s the semi final with a lot at stake. Those foreigners would have done it etc etc

It’s had a huge influence and that’s why Southgate turns to 3 of our main players all the time. Same as in the WC where Stones, Walker and Sterling were all first picks with, I think, Fabian Delph from the bench.

MARTIN SAMUEL: Compared to the golden generation, Gareth Southgate has gems everywhere... he can throw players at the problem like Chelsea or Man City can throw money. It's scary​


NEW MARTIN SAMUEL - CHIEF SPORTSWRITER: The golden generation was, in essence, a golden team. There were no goalscorers in Rooney or Michael Owen's class, the depth just wasn't there.

I rate Samuel but this is a joke. I always think he is fair and balanced so why just these 2 teams ? The biggest culprits are the rags, at least we solve our problems by throwing players at it. They don't.

La Liga chief: Manchester City could not sign Messi without ‘financial doping’

La Liga chief Javier Tebas has claimed Manchester City could not sign Lionel Messi without ‘financial doping’
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

The Guardian with its normal hatchet job. Where’s the balance in this piece?
It’s customary to at least refer to both sides of the argument but apparently not where City are concerned.

His hypocrisy is astounding, but I blame the people interviewing him and writing it up just as much if not more, I've yet to see anyone in response say " and yet you didn't have a problem when your beloved Spanish rags were getting handouts" !

I wouldn't be surprised if that piece had been heavily editorialised. The days of free thinking journalists being able to essentially print what they want has long gone. Generating clicks is where it's at these days.

I’ve been thinking this myself. Pep and City have had a huge influence on this England team. The way we play, the spirit, the confidence, the players…whilst it would be arrogant to say that’s all it is, it is a significant factor.

So according to his logic should nobody be making huge new signings and paying huge wages.
Every club has lost money due to the Pandemic and some have a huge debt but are still signing players at £75 mil has he questioned this or is it just City in his sights?

No asking about the debt of the Spanish big club or how he can forecast the future for City whilst failing to run his own properly.
I would have thought an article on this by Conn would be meat and drink - but no its City and they disregard their principles and morals for City
