We are the most hared team in the history of English football,no other club has undergone a hate campaign from every media outlet like we have , driven by Murdoch , Yank owners and the ex-G14 clubs it has been relentless.Today we play the biggest game of the season representing English clubs and there are several articles about our alleged 1000 breaches (it goes up every week) quite obvious the editors of these media outlets are jumping to their Yank owners tune who are demanding this continous mud slinging
We are not bending any more rules than the Rags , Dippers , Blackburn and Chelsea have done over the years but none of them got the treatment we have , i take solace in the fact every trophy we win every game we win is like a knife through our detractors hearts , and the pain every hate filled plastic fan who the vast majority have never attended a football match or have a clue about the game are also feeling the pain
We win tonight and the piss boiling will meet levels even Mount Veuvius couldnt match.
Lovely :)
 
I had a go at Wallace on twitter. Absolute bellend to put that out today

He thinks he is above the likes of me and you, mate.

City have weaponised us, you see?

He's a pompous, Jonny-come-lately, thinking he's a football fan probably because he remembers Gazza in Euro '96, and daddy invited the neighbours round to sing 'It's Coming Home'.

He thinks deeply about the game, to the extent he can't decide between a latte or Cappuccino before taking his seat.
 
The Daily Telegraph are a disgrace . Their chief football writer leads on this day of all with a rallying cry article on why the FA should not repeat Urfa’s mistakes in the legal assault on our club.
Followed up with a critique on how Inter should set up to beat us .
Then a diatribe about how we may do the treble but no one is interested.
I urge all blues to pile in if subscribed to the DT . I just cancelled my subscription.
Cmon City stick it to these bitter rag journo twats for me.

He’s that disinterested that he decided to write about it? Must be some serious piss boiling to go that far.
 
Well, apart from simultaneously misreading/misrepresenting my post (you actually agree with half my post and position) and demonstrating an underlying tenet of my position, I think it is best we don’t debate, and just agree the world can be better and there is more than enough hypocrisy to go around.

Edit: I do want to encourage you to actually look in to where the raw materials come from for the electronics and clothing you own (among other things). Much of it is sourced not from low wage workers, but from effectively slave labour (often involving children), and that has been the case for a century, long after slavery was abolished in the UK (and US), which we support indirectly with our lifestyles whilst denouncing similar travesties elsewhere. When I said slave labour, I wasn’t be hyperbolic, and it is important not to lower ourselves to likes of Delaney, Harris, and Schindler with delusional hypocrisy (or the Dippers always playing the victim) and to recognise the suffering we help perpetuate, regardless of whether we want to acknowledge our part in it based on our expedient political leanings. It is not “white man’s guilt” to recognise the west have helped create a world of exploitation and suffering for our benefit, with the true costs of the things we love and can’t live without being externalised to the global south, and we have some responsibility for improving that lot for most the world, as we can. Otherwise, we are the baddies. Ignorance, apathy, and political ideology is not an excuse for the suffering of billions of people, just as it wouldn’t be if it were your loved ones suffering.

This is something I have studied, in a professional capacity, my entire adult life and it is not something that can be debated according to alternative facts.
We have a lot of faceless bankers and corporatists that created that world though. They created a world to rape it and package it up to be sold to us as cheap as possible. I didn’t ask for it, who did? Now the corporate owned media will convince you it’s your fault for buying it. So the next trick is simple. Guilt trip the public for the next fleecing. Electric cars are fucking hilarious. An active volcano can create as much C02 as man has ever created in a day. But you can’t tax a volcano. You can’t convince a volcano that lithium is clean to mine and is safe (which it isn’t).
As you say, apathy wins every time. We’re only too happy to leave thinking to someone else. It’s not a criticism. It’s because it’s tough. Nobody can be for everything. You have to upset someone. Jess Phillips, Labour MP stood outside a Birmingham school stood in between demonstrating LGBTQ+ community and Muslim parents protesting about children being taught about sexuality in school. There’s no sitting on the fence. Pick your side. Like Jess Phillips, most people melt away in these scenarios.

He's actually the Telegraoh's "Northern Correspondant" but only does Manchester.
Hopefully he'll only be doing half of that next season.

WALLACE MUST BE BANNED for that.
As should some of the usual suspects. Enough is enough. It really is beyond me why City let them in to the Etihad press box.
 
The last part of his rant…

At the hearing there were 12 present on City’s side. From Uefa just four in the room, and two British counsel attending by video-conference call. It would be a most damaging defeat for Uefa, and its failure to enforce its own rules would contribute in no small part to the disquiet that prompted the Super League breakaway. Now it is the Premier League’s legal team that faces City’s lawyers, who already have one notable scalp. City, needless to say, deny any wrongdoing.

We should just sue the ****.
 
I say again, give him what he wants....

He's a pompous, Jonny-come-lately, thinking he's a football fan probably because he remembers Gazza in Euro '96, and daddy invited the neighbours round to sing 'It's Coming Home'.

He thinks deeply about the game, to the extent he can't decide between a latte or Cappuccino before taking his seat.
Before you hang up your pencil and notepad iMac, am I misremembering the fact that the PL rules (which we've obviously signedup for) dictate who of media can come to our club, enjoy the best hospitality, question the best coach, question the best players and report in the worst possible way about the best football... so we (City) can't 'ban' a media entity, or can we 'ban' a person for that entity?

I'm sure there's loads of poor junior reporters just itching to write some decent football reports with a higher level of football knowledge than their 'name' seniors.

Massive amount of old boy dinosaurs in football journalism that will age out soon, thankfully.

Not @tolmie's hairdoo, of course, though. ;-)

You would think on a nice day like this he would get out in the sunshine and give his wrist a day off!
