Daniel sturridge ain't blessed with a lot of brain cells. Lovely story of dipper brother in law chauffeuring him n wio wobble gob around Manchester for photo shoots a few years ago. Ferdinand very professional and polite, sturridge proper up himself and slagging off our Jürgen da Jarman, big style.

The brother in law was seething at the simpletons unflattering thoughts on the slaughterers and herr bingo. Lovely stuff.

He's the type that can't toe the party line cos his ego won't allow it. A stupid loose cannon.
How he got a TV gig is a mystery to me... and his agent.

Manchester City Football Club is 100% foreign owned.

Seems to be going quite well I'd say.

Yep. I had that in mind when I was typing, but I'll not let an inconvenient hypocritical truth get in the way of my soap-boxing :)
P.s. our investors are the exception to the rule.

They know, like we know this issue
isn't expected to be concluded until next year and by then the Pep - Klopp debate will be irrelevant. The majority of the charges relate to the period 2009 until 2018 whilst Klopp began his tenure in 2015 and Pep in 2016 the trophy count is 16 to 8 in Peps favour. What doesn't seem to be recognised within all this is a domestic treble and the true treble great achievements and even if the first 2 trophies that fall within the time range are taken off, Pep/City are still way ahead.Even though Wright acknowledged Pep/City and maybe fell short of backing them the 115 diversion tactic gave him the get out of jail card as not being the one who went on record as the pundit who backed Pep and Manchester City.

Yep surprised rags didn't vote but maybe Ratcliffe wants to stay in the good books of the new regulators if they come in

Sir steptoe wants to stay in the good books so he can sponge money out of the British tax payer. Had to rub my eyes when I seen the rags voting on the side of good

Palmer doing OK in a shit team
Sterling doing OK in a shit team
Jesus doing fuck all in a shit club

None of those 3 get in our first choice team. £150m in Citys bank. Sack the board.

Out of those three though, i wish we had Palmer back.

He's young and is looking good and unlike the others, we didn't see the best of him!

I agree that he's not in our best 11 but we've seen what he could do, even at the beginning of the season, so i reckon he'd definitely have contributed this season.

 

[NeilMcnabTwoFooted]

All of it. He has no knowledge of the charges against the club apart from media spin. He is an Arsenal fan so just like Carragher and Neville is quite happy to talk shit about city but not any other club.

He has no right to drag Pep’s reputation into the mix either.

He should not be allowed to say anything unless he is willing to call out other clubs for erm bending the rules! Or has factual evidence of the club breaking the rules.

Don’t see why anyone can be happy with his assassination of what pep and the players have achieved. We are not cheats and it has been proved at CAS. Didn’t hear him mention that no evidence of wrongdoing was not established 12 times. Did you?

So yes it wasn’t a fair report on city. It was another attempt to discredit our achievements. Viewers should have all the facts available! They were not given sufficient information on Ian’s opinion of the charges. They were given a one sided argument that what City has achieved is not legitimate and no one including pep should be praised for their efforts on the pitch….well not until the charges are proven or disproven. Again, what about CAS! Did that not happen?

So the “elephant” in the room Ian is that City have already been cleared of pretty much the same charges at CAS but it’s conveniently ignored.

Fair and balance with context or not at all.

exactly

I don't get Ian Wright. He has two sons and a granson who all played for City he always seems to have a bee in his bonet about us though. I remember in the run in when City had to win the last 14 matches of the season to win the league. He actually stated that he wanted Liverpool to win the title. Why? What link does he have to them? I find him very strange.

he’s an imbecile

 

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Post of the day, one like is not enough.

That the working title for the next Bond installment.............

 

[levets]

De Bruyne and Mahrez both missing penalties, Milner's non-red card, and City's disallowed goal at the ETIHAD earlier this season.
But for those, Klopp's record v City would be even worse

Sterling wrongly disallowed winner in the 2-2 a couple of seasons back

Still bitter about Erik Nixon cuffing him maybe

 

[bluemanchester]

"What do you think of Liverpool's performance Ian?"
"Well, I thought they played great, but we can't really rejoice in their team effort or Klopp's skill as a manager until somebody starts to mention the elephant in the room: you know, the hacking of City's database - something which you might believe didn't happen as it's hardly ever been mentioned in the media. And don't forget the £50 million that was written off their books for a stadium that never had a single foot of foundations dug up."

Or the elephant in the room is why do livarpool have an exceptional season or two then drop off a cliff and end up in the Europa league then the following season add 20 points to their poor season before. Some fecking elephant that;-)

 

[TinFoilHat]

Fucking hilarious watching SSN not blame scousers for UEFA looking at changing venues for the Thursday night cup final.

Rather celebrating their hope 500,000 ticketless dippers are catered for in Dublin.

 

[cheekybids]

I can’t believe people can’t see this.

It’s because the daily mail twisted the narrative that he was calling it out…. The elephant in the room.

You don’t remember him saying that we “mugged his lad off”?
A bitter **** because we didn’t offer SWP the contract he thought we should.

Annoying when pundits are so biased.
I remember Shaka Hislop saying "I must admit, I don't like Manchester City" on ESPN

SWP would have text him saying "Fuck off you nob!"

 

[WestGorton]

The more we win the more they talk. Keep winning City.

Rather him than Doku on the wing.

None of those 3 get in our first choice team. £150m in Citys bank. Sack the board.

But crucially they would make our squad better. They will be enough to take us through the first rounds of domestic cups and possibly 14 games of the prem. Gives the first 11 a crucial rest. Not having a big enough squad means you def lose crucial players too early. Rodri will need a year off soon for e.g.

How many American owners?

Hmmm. Not sure united would have been on that side of the vote if it had really come to it.
