This coach welcome got more press/media attention that the dippers coach attack. Says it all really

Yes, another (red shirt social media/tabloid) stick to beat the club and the fans with. Saying that, if we didn’t do it there wouldn’t be any stick. But the club aren’t bothered as they see it as part of the ‘match day experience’ and it brings in additional revenue every home match.

I caught the end of Sturridge, Richards and Spitty last night after the match. What the fuck were Sturbridge and Richards taking and laughing about? It was absolutely inane nonsense, it didn’t make sense, and both of them were waffling on about things that weren’t relevant to the match, never mind Richards laughing constantly. To be fair to Spitty, who was listening, he looked just as confused as I was watching and listening to Sturbridge and Richards on the tv.

Sturridge needs to fuck off tv.

Just another list to tick for certain games.

Needs to stick to pretending to being a rapper with JD Sports

In mitigation, I'm reliably informed all the proper fans were busy inside being classy and clapping Coley and Raz for their service.

Proper hatchet job in the Daily Rag this morning about the teams welcome yesterday when getting of the coach. Niw, wether you agree with the practice or not, the piece on it can't hide the bike aimed at city....and more importantly its younger fans who are the main attendees to this. Pure bile

We’ve been doing this for ages why have they only decided to take aim at it today?
Makes you wonder if they’ve got wind of something happening with the charge’s!

 

[burning blue soul]

...whilst airing Rodders' comments about the ref's decision making throughout the game, then picking just the borderline decisions they could argue were correct and calling Rodders out, saying he wasn't making a valid point. Did they even show the "advantage" when DeBruyne was taken out on the edge of the area?

Match of the Day is, and pretty much always has been (in my lifetime), an agenda driven biased propaganda vehicle which shows highlight packages of matches that don't match the narrative of what actually happened on the pitch.

MotD are the same as all media outlets.
They quiver in fear if it's a red top team having the (supposed) dirty done to them. But with City they say their truth.
Without fear.
I agree that some of the preposterous penalties this season have been agenda driven or super soft, but they never call out a player for diving, or instigating the contact;, or call out a miniscule touch of the arm by the ball. Except when it's City.

It'll be something that's gone a bit viral with 'football communities' on the interweb somewhere recently. Their target audience basically tell them what the news is.

for the first time in my long life i switched off the post match talking despite some the nonsense said over the years after our games, Sturridge & Richards are a pair of absolute balloons, one a good natured but ultimately idiotic, with not a shred of any intelligent thoughts on the game, inane laughter, and an Arsenal fan, then add Sturrige a loathsome individual, nasty & brainless a terrible combination, then you’ve got Spitty who needs no explanation, i’m sorry but when our club has a former pro who’s a blue but who’s articulate intelligent, interesting & educates you on the finer details of the game in Nedum Onuoha but instead with have the “Brains Trust” of Sturrige & Richards i’m afraid i’m out, not listening to imbecile’s talk broken biscuits, i turned it off and saved my sanity .

You journos and other fans stand in the wind, pouring rain and cold, hold a brolly and clap deliriously.
If fanzine Danny's mike wasn't switched to the max too - would be better.

Just how long have they want to do this waiting for right conditions

 

[TinFoilHat]

Funny how the highlights on you tube show fuck all. No controversial decisions whatsoever.

 

[jim tolmies perm]

Is that all this pseudo hack could think of to fill some column inches? Fucking embarrassing, clueless lickspittle.
Absolutely stealing a living..****!

I won’t lie.

I’m a FOC traditionalist.(like many of your are)

I appreciate times have changed and football has moved on in every aspect. Especially for our younger fans. There you go, I’ve admitted that. And I accept that.

But I really hate these lazer shows, light shows, flame throwers and the general pre-match cheese fest that has crept into the ‘match day experience’ at City.(and across football in general)

This is especially evident before kick off at the CBS main entrance when the players coach arrives. Calling it orchstrtaed and contrived wouldn’t do it justice. It’s just plain cringeworthy and embarrassing.

I get it. The fans outside get a very brief glimpse of the players as they leave the coach and go into the main entrance, as pop music blasts out. Whilst those adults and their kids who can afford it get the chance to be within touching distance of the players inside the stand.

If The kids are happy, and the club is making more money, it must be worth doing, right?

I’m guessing that’s from the daily fail…..say no more

It's all they have left. City get off the bus.

Yes a publication that was pro Hitler and Moseley.

BBC radio 5live went to some reporter who was talking up the title race. He went on and said he fancied City at the start of the season, the boring choice because they've got the best manager, best resources and the fans will tell you they have the best lawyers as well.

Another subtle dig in there, from our impartial radio station.

Add it to the 115 or the 134 or whatever the f**k the number is that's racked up against us.. dirty, stinking oil players.. they not only get off the bus, they play on a pitch that's not measured correctly and they enter the FA Cup competition.. total bar-stewards.. they ought to be strung up.. it's the only language their sort understands..

It was Henry Winter, a well known **** who hates us with all his bile.

 

[Prophet of Doom]

It was Henry Winter, a well known **** who hates us with all his bile.

Winter on Talksport yesterday morning interviewing the Luton CEO - trying to coerce him being negative over the City charges.

Winter then asked ‘why is it taking so long’ which he regurgitates every week even though he’s had this answered many times.

Maybe he’s lodged too far up Jim Ratcliffe’s arse to hear the answer !

Comical isnt it

 

[BrianW]

Why is anyone surprised that City have the best lawyers?

If you are foolish enough to sue a multi-millionaire, the chances are you'll find that they aren't represented by some back street solicitor from Harpurhey.

If David Cameron or Rishi Sunak were on criminal charges, does anyone suppose they'd be defended by a guy financed by legal aid?

It's how the whole system works, and short of a communist state it will always be like that.
