Not that it matters to this thread but never really socialist tbf, was founded by liberals and has always sided with the liberals or neo-liberals, only backed labour in the 80s/90s when it adopted a more neo-liberal agenda.The Guardian aspiring to be Talksport. Born as a socialist paper in Manchester. Emboldened by the Peterloo massacre. Now descended into a shell of a publication taking it's lead from social media.
Can you imagine the spineless **** saying something similar about a group of supporters that point the finger of blame at the SAS?'Beyond that, a frightening calm. There is a school of thought out there that City is a club driven by grudges and enmities, fuelled by antagonism and spoiling for scraps at any opportunity. Perhaps this is true at a boardroom level, or on the wild frontiers of the internet, where City fans remain unrivalled in their capacity to nurture conspiracy theories and illusory slights, desperate to be hated.' :-)
as he is a red scouse cult member I doubt it.Can you imagine the spineless **** saying something similar about a group of supporters that point the finger of blame at the SAS?
Not sure I'm aware of this insightful Grimsby follower - surely he's not broken rank from the masses..........This is exactly how the abusers in an abusive relationship work. Abuse, then blame the victim.' oh look at the city fans moaning about a perceived injustice'
As witnessed in that excellent youtube video by the Grimsby fan, we're not all paranoid tin foil hatters, it's a fact we are getting an endless stream of unjustified shit.
This **** even manages to contradict himself in one article, stating 'city fans are desperate to be hated' whilst slagging us off.
****.
The debate can be put to bed right here, the 100 point team is the best pl team of all time, as thats the metric that the pl is judged on, nobody gets a most stylish trophy (although lets not give the dippers any ideas), nobody avoids relegation because they tried really really hard, it is solely based on points and the team that has got the most ever is the best ever and that for all but the most stupid of media and other fans is where the discussion begins and ends.Is going unbeaten that great ? It sounds amazing but if you look at it, 12 draws wasn't it.
Would a team that drew every match and got relegated be as great as that arsenal side ? Both go unbeaten.
They way they are reported upon suggests a collective membership across the Fourth Estate. By any objective measure, the group of supporters with the greatest capacity to nurture conspiracy theories and illusory slights are Liverpool fans. There are countless examples of this and it is a course of conduct that goes back 40 years, when they absurdly blamed Heysel on a number of third parties and rogue actors. And yet not one member of our free and fearless press dare comment on it. Actually one did, and he was subject to a witch-hunt. So, like all bullies they look for a less recalcitrant target.as he is a red scouse cult member I doubt it.
A school of thought created by the likes of him and his colleagues to nurture the irrational responses of those incapable of free thinking against the club and it's support base. This is the freedom of the press for you from someone laughingly called a sports journalist, but the most worrying aspect is the front pages are even worse.The bitterness from Jonathan Liew's latest spewings over at The Guardian.
Shan't be linking it for the obvious but I found the below passage a particular high/ point of the article.

The slide of the Guardian started with the move to London and targeting the media and teaching as its audience. A decline in print made predictable the shift to social media content and its views.The Guardian aspiring to be Talksport. Born as a socialist paper in Manchester.

The cnut wants flushing down the Liew.Liew is such a ****

Exactly correct. Saying that going unbeaten is the pinnacle of achievement ignores 150 years of league football being points-based.As other have pointed out for years, you can go unbeaten and get relegated (would have been the case in several seasons over the past ten years), so it shouldn’t be the main aim of any club.
Keown is a clueless, biased Tarquin shill.Exactly correct. Saying that going unbeaten is the pinnacle of achievement ignores 150 years of league football being points-based.
Unless Keown thinks the current PL table should look like this?
1st Man City; Lost 3; Pts "Doesn't Matter"
2nd Liverpool; Lost 4
3rd Arsenal; Lost 5
Somehow I think the evolutionary throwback would have a different opinion this year.
It was even worse than that, they claimed that Mancini was sat in the one of the boxes watching during the last game before we sacked Hughes.One of the very first unjustified insults was around the sacking of Hughes & already having Mancini lined up. We faced lies & abuse & racist insinuations that that’s not how we do things over here…. The defence of surely it makes perfect sense if you know what you are doing fell on deaf ears.
Meanwhile I must have heard half a dozen times today that Ten Hag can’t be sacked until they have coach lined up.
And one of em tells us Ten Bob thinks scum owners have 'commom sense'. You couldn't make it....oh wait.....There is 51 stories above it……
In that case it seems odd to send your Chief Football Reporter to such a "low profile" game. Almost like they were hoping the Leeds kids would win so they could make it a headline. Surely not.There is 51 stories above it……
Skilfully maintained by who? How? Is he finally outing himself and his fellow shills?The bitterness from Jonathan Liew's latest spewings over at The Guardian.

Wenger won just 3 titles during his tenure, the Tarquins were amongst the biggest spenders and wage payers. They paid £11m for Henry whilst our biggest fee was £3.3m for Lee Bradbury at the time, no one brought up inequality then.Don't forget this is Arsenal.
They're not exactly the most ambitious club in the division. Arsene Wenger would often refer to how finishing in the top four felt like winning a trophy.
If you celebrate that level of mediocrity it stands to reason you'd think going unbeaten over a season is a big deal.
