I understand there’s a difference but listen to one and you’ll hear that about 30% of the time he’s talking about stuff incidental to the action

A lot of it admittedly is just filling dead air. You don't really notice it on a radio broadcast. But when it's applied to the TV you're sat there thinking "just shut the fuck up for 2 minutes"

I started listening to the Guardian Football podcast this week, as everyone's always banging on about it. Think I lasted around three episodes. God they fucking hate us, don't they?

One of the pre season reviews asked their panellists for their predicted prem winners.

Although most said city which isn’t good or bad, one said liverpool and rather than coming up with a valid reason for thinking so, which could have been reasonable, he said it was because he doesnt like city and so doesnt want to accept us as favourites.

No challenge that it was a stupid, biased, envious reason, just a “fair enough”.

They all hate the club, what it stands for, who its better than. Just seeps from them every week. Lovely to watch city win and them have to talk about it every week

To be fair, he didn't need to be challenged. He'd already shown himself to be be stupid, biased and envious.

Meanwhile, in a summer when City have been outspent by several clubs and broke the league’s all time record for transfer income, Delooney has written his article yet again.
Despite the above facts and a huge net spend, his personal bitterness and obsession meant he just had to shoehorn us into an article about the ‘obscene’ £1.9bn spent by PL clubs this season.
Of course, it comes complete with a dig about Haaland’s fee and the supposed wages and agents fees - both considerably less than what united shelled out when Ronaldo. And the same sort of snide, baseless hinting at off the books payments that only the most deluded redshirt cultists spout on Twitter.
If they hated City before, then the sheer magnificence of the Nordic Meat Shield, and his decision to join the club he supported as a boy has sent them over the edge. It’s City sticking it to the haters and shills but twisting the knife as well. And and it’s absolutely glorious


But what’s this? A new twist?
Yes, Delooney is now blaming City for rising fuel prices and the cost of living crisis!!!


I thought ‘No, he really hasn’t gone there.’
I thought even he wouldn’t be that batshit insane, that he wouldn’t jump that shark
But yes, he really has



His head has completely gone. He genuinely needs to be sectioned

Not sure if this has been covered but last night on 5 live, Nigel Reo Coker was a pundit. He was talking, before they did Scum commentary, about West Ham being under scrutiny for FFP and he said - laughingly - they should go and ask 1 or 2 other clubs how to get round it, like, Man City.

No one challenged or took him up on it in any way. If you listen back, it's around 7.30 ish last night.

Makes a change from us not building hospitals I suppose.

The headline in the Daily United.

As you'd expect, loads of Rags and Scousers piling in.

BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea, Man City, West Ham and Leicester ESCAPE Financial Fair Play punishments from UEFA - but are added to their watchlist - over 'exceptional Covid deductions'​

Or paying soldiers footballers’ wages

Here we go
If Haaland hits 40 goals some will say it’s a disappointment

How we got round it was quite simple. We were successful & qualified for the CL season after season. West Ham (and Leicester) couldn't manage that, even when they were in a good position to get top four.

Just wanted to post something from Sky that actually paints us in a favourable light, the showstopping chart from the article is below. Feel free to share it with anyone you know that spouts off nonsense about us ”spending billions” to win the league this season.

Premier League transfers: Chelsea, Man Utd, West Ham & Nottingham Forest top spenders

Premier League clubs spent £2.1bn on 134 permanent signings for disclosed fees during the transfer window; Chelsea recorded league-topping £228.4m net spend, followed by Man Utd, West Ham and Nottingham Forest; Man City recouped a league-high £172.8m from sales

Yes, I notice that for the first time in many years the BBC don't feel the need to produce a spend/net spend table for some reason, and instead just concentrates on the total figure. Good to see city down there ruining football and inflating the market again. :-)

Wouldnt normally condone violence but this prick will meet the wrong guy in the wrong bar one day , he might think he is teflon but every football club has their nutters/psycho's ,he's walking a tight rope with his obvious hatred for our club in his articles.

He's not insane. He's an intelligent person who HATES everything our club stands for and he uses his position to paint us in the worst light possible. He's relentless and he isn't going to go away just because of a few posts on here. You either ignore him or challenge him on Twitter. He knows exactly what he's doing. I can't stand the blinkered fucker.

The same programme gave Charlie Nicholas the opportunity to inform us that Charlie Adam signing for Liverpool was a better signing than Sergio signing for city !

I know Oliver Holt also said that and he’s not been afraid to have a good laugh about it since to be fair.

To give them a bit of leeway, they’re asked to give an opinion and are encouraged to go big with it one way or the other. No one is interested in hearing them sitting on the fence and being indecisive on whether they think a signing is going to be hit or miss.

With DeBruyne, let’s be honest, how many City fans were bouncing up and down with excitement at the time? It was a very lot of money to pay for a player approaching his mid 20s who’d done nothing on a big stage by that point.

I was, having watched the Bundesliga highlights show that used to be on ITV4 every week, same with Leroy
