It's certainly ramping up. This media pile-on from April onwards is becoming an annual event and should be given a name. "Steaming-piss season" or something.

"Beware the Snides of March"

Pretty sure Durham was a student in mcr in the 90s and he used to go Maine rd so he had a slight soft spot for us

His son is also a City fan. He said so again on Weds night.

The headline is misleading, on the whole, kind of, it's not too bad.

Anything on the hole is bad!

You can’t tell he’s brown if you make him black and white.

And he's in western clothes.

To be honest the pile on against Arsenal is quite a thing to watch as well. I'd hardly call what they've done 'a bottle job'. Also, if that was the Rags or Dippers I'm sure the media would still say there was a long way to go, lots of points to play for and lots of points to be dropped. I'm still of the opinion that it's still not over, even though shit tash thinks we'll finish 10 points clear.

When Pep arrived we had four full backs over 30.

And all 4 left the following summer at the end of their contracts or, in Kolarov's case, a request for a transfer and were replaced by 3 - Walker, Danilo and Mendy - not 4. Yet the assembled bitters were frothing at the mouth about City spending money on full backs. What did the daft bastards expect City to do? Start the season with no full backs?

He said: "This is what the wealth of a Gulf state buys you. With the commercial might of Abu Dhabi behind them, they have been able to buy the very best players."

That's accurate isn't it? Emphasis is on "commercial might" which to me means the Abu Dhabi based enterprises and companies who heavily sponsor us. Nothing wrong with that IMO.

Im pretty sure souness lives on the on the south coast in Dorest. No doubt he probably owns propery in Cheshire as well :)

He has moved to the South Coast from Alderley Edge in recent years. The wording is clumsy I think. Sheikh Mansour operates globally and invests globally. I don’t accept we rely on the Abu Dhabi state. Sheikh Mansour is in it to make money like other investors.

Think it was Bbc sport who referenced Walker's signing with an article along the lines of 'wow that price tag' - at this time Kyle was an England regular. Fast forward a couple of years and a non internatiinal, Wan Bissaka moved north for a similair fee without any media outrage.

Used to live in a nice place at Mere.. I think my Dad decorated his house at one point, he said he was a nice guy .. One of his neighbours owned Smokies near Ashton and my Dad regularly worked for him at the house and at Smokies and the Hotel when that opened

Biggest red ever, ha ha ha.
Apart from that, very balanced.

Nice find. Fair play to Butt. A decent rag? Can’t be right -:)

Why should anyone give a flying fuck what an Irish newspaper prints? Let them build their own sides and not fawn like pilgrims over things they have no connection to.

I am from Ireland and nobody takes notice of this guy or what he says, most criticism of City over here is by individuals who don’t like football anyway and whose opinion means nothing to football fans here.

Why don't we ever contest the narrative on phone ins etc? We always end up with ill informed fans on these shows

So that's Sir Keir who's an arse fan and Sir Jim who's a chav fan.

View attachment 77031I’m pretty sure I didn’t see headlines like this when Bacon face was winning nearly every year.
I haven’t clicked on the article so don’t know the content.

That has to be Sweeney.

 

[Paul lakes knee]

That has to be Sweeney.

My initial thought too, but it’s lifted from the Daily Telegraph- I didn’t think it was a bad read, quite complimentary

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Ogden is a wanker.
Did he comment when the guy who signed off the Rags over inflated shirt sponsorship with Chevrolet was fired or when Teamviewer announced they are ending their shirt sponsorship with the Rags early because they can't justify the outlay?

I always use this with Rags who talk about dodgy sponsorship deals. Funnily enough they had never heard of them

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

It’s actually not a bad article apart from a ludicrous sentence about Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth meaning expensive mistakes like £26m Danilo don’t matter. The rest of the article is well worth a read and gives credit where it’s due to Guardiola.

Danilo was very solid and left for more football. We'd arguably have been better off if he has stayed, given what's happened with Len
