Any thoughts on the banner today?
Might not be any consolation but it tells me something about yourself.i saw it but I couldn’t quite see what it said (it was crumpled) though it was guessable.
To be honest, it didn’t have any real sway in the stadium. We were interested in the game and people really don’t like virtue signalling slogans. God knows where it came from. I doubt, given how amateurish it was, if the club would have been involved.
Anyway, I found it embarrassing, not that it’s any consolation.
People who live in glass houses ought not to throw stones.
I am fucking sick of people pretending that their precious club is pure and unsullied, when most, if not all clubs, have skeletons in the closet. I call it hypocrisy.
BTW, I think some of those skeletons are going to come tumbling out before long. There's a very good reason why five out of the top six clubs oppose an Independent Regulator. Some of those skeletons are things that have happened in recent years, or the sanctimonious hypocrites would have nothing to fear.

Saved me a job posting a similar list.. especially the bit about how they cheated their way into Division 1 at the expense of Spurs. More time for me to savour my IPAs as I wait to watch MOTD.
I salute you, sirrah!
I am happy to accept that you are not a sanctimonious hypocrite. It may even be that you are a very decent chap.I can’t speak for anyone else but yes, I’m actually in favour of an independent regulator because I think the FA PL is incompetent at self regulation. And for the very last time, I do not support FFP. PLEASE, hear me!
Because it's the arsenal thread.....Do you think this obsession with Arsenal‘s (admittedly questionable) past is now relevant? More recently Chelsea (before FFP) bought glory. Why not attack them?
99 minutesDid I read the post match correctly…98minutes??
This says it all. Spot on.Sponsored by an oil airline for both stadium and shirts.
City also won their first trophy around 30 years before Arsenal. City’s biggest attendance is bigger than Arsenals. City won a European trophy before Arsenal.

However, you do not represent the 'football establishment.' Which is incredibly corrupt and mind-numbingly hypocritical. I could descant on this for hours, but what's the point? There is a substantial body of opinion out there who have been convinced by the media that City is worse than a thousand Hitlers, while the other leading clubs are virtuous maidens who have never done so much as kissed a sailor. It's bollocks to the power of infinity. Can you not see why we City fans are getting pissed off by it?

Today against Brentford.
Let’s hope the Arsenal fans hold the banners up ‘straight’ on Wednesday night so the City players can see the message properly. Team Talk Done.
You will get absolutely no argument about King Colin, he would be world class in any era.Read all my comments. My position is clear. I’m in favour of City or anyone else willing to invest to get their club up the ladder. The problem with FFP (and why I’m against it) is that the richest club (Man Utd) will always dominate. If that’s the case, The PL will become a bore fest like La Liga where only one of two teams can win the title.
My views are my own. I don’t expect you to agree with me but if you don’t, all I ask is a certain civility. There’s too much hatred already in the world. As for City, more importantly for me, is Pep. I feel (especially since Arsenal have been off the pace for a good number of years), he has brought a wonderful style of football, wonderful to watch, with wonderful players. I don’t begrudge you that. Your fans have suffered much but with huge devotion before the current regime. And as someone who was at Manchester university in the 70s, I was lucky enough to watch (from the Kippax), Summerbee, Lee and Bell. I don’t care what any of you Mancs think but I can tell you Colin Bell would have been a world class player today. Maybe some City fans my age might agree with me?
Arteta starting to look under pressure.
it was always gonna happen. Lets see how he handles it.Arteta starting to look under pressure.
Plastic angry North London nobodies..We hadn't appeared at that time so we weren't a threat. Consequently whatever happened at clubs in the PL it was all OK!
