Liew says that "City fans remain unrivalled in their capacity to nurture conspiracy theories and illusory slights, desperate to be hated."

Illusory? Your whole fucking article was a slight against City and its fans, you massive ****.

I would say Liew has nurtured a conspiracy theory & has succeeded in being hated.

We are fucking amateurs compared to him.
 
Not even subtle is it...

Two wins for Manchester City will see them take home the title for a fourth successive season.
Would you rather be in Arsenal's position, with the points on the board, or Manchester City's with a game in hand?
Hit the thumbs up for Arsenal or thumbs down for Man City.

quite funny when you peel back this state owned/state link shite, there's nothing of substance.

So our rivals for the title Arsenal, sponsored by Visit Rwanda and Emirates, imagine if we were sponsored by Visit Rwanda!!! ok but lets say bad money is good if its not ownership.

Mansour v Kroenke.
Mansour we all know part of the ruling Royal family, personal worth approx $20B give or take.
Stan Kroenke rags to riches or self made man? well no, his dad owned a lumber company and in 1974 Stan married a Walmart heiress, Stans pile, approx $17B.

So apart from the colour of their skin, can someone explain how the two majority owners differ?
 
Alan Pardew on TS just saying he thought before our game yesterday it could be a shock but finished it by saying that almost always the early kick offs favour the away team. Such BS and then reverted to type 115 yawn yawn. Same guy who spoke so beautifully to Pellegrini at St James Park ten years ago.
The first 4 words summed up this washed up never was clown.
 
The use of "petrodollars" never fails to annoy me.

Can we please get a list of the acceptable and unacceptable sources of money for all of the absurdly rich owners in football?
Oil is quite literally the product that, for better or worse, has fuelled the age we live in, including the medium upon which we are communicating now and countless other advances in technology and science. If it wasn’t for oil we’d be tootling round in steam powered vehicles and dying of dysentery and cholera in our early 30s.

I have no problem with people highlighting its deficiencies and negative impacts, but to do so while freely enjoying its benefits is completely hypocritical.

Another illusory slight ffs!
 
Was listening to the “Two Robbies” podcast this morning by Robbie Mustoe and Earle who are part of the US broadcast crew. Tim Howard was filling in for Mustoe today. A couple really complementary things.

1. Regarding Gvardiol, “Not huge money. I mean, he was available for everybody out there.” I’ve always thought he got way too much crap for being so expensive…when I felt like it was the market had demanded these prices of late. Funny also because the Guardian podcast I listened to after talked about how high his price was!

2. They talk about getting the team sheets before the match and if any other team doesn’t have in their “best IX” they assume it will be a struggle. But re City,
“It doesn't matter. We always say, this is a city team that is strong as it could be.
And no other team in the Premier League can do that. And so they go from strength to strength, and it's such a luxury to be able to implement players into starting life, not like, oh, this guy's a little bit older and he might not be able to get about. No matter what team they play, it's the strongest team.”

3. And a bit on the culture:
“But the history making of what this team do, and there's something that's always stuck with me about Manchester City, and Pep, is for all the success in any game they've ever played, at whatever situation it is, I've never once seen a Manchester City player showboat. I've never seen a Manchester City player go for nutmegs. I've never seen a Manchester City start the old ways.
It's almost like that isn't in them. That's not what they're about. Other teams do that, and other teams have their moments, and you see people go for the nutmegs and sort of having a little laugh.
It's almost like he's taking his team above that level. That's OK, guys. That doesn't win you anything.”

And the best,
“You talk about culture that Manchester United don't have. Manchester City have it, and Pep is incessant on trying to make sure his players are right. And I love it.”
