Love the way they invited Cole in so they could say he played for Newcastle too
Designed to de-stabilize.Yeah it's very nasty business from the red cartel / media. It was never about getting a guilty conviction against City (although that'd be a bonus for them), it's about tainting our title run and trying to destabilize our club through the creation of false narratives and misinformation.
And people are willing to eat the 115 stuff up because of their jealousy of our success. That's why the PL put out the 115 shite when no KC would ever recommend doing so if the intent is to win the trial. It's pretty clear to me what the intent was and has been all along.

Probably their worst nightmare became reality when Pep joined us. They knew they were fucked on the pitch and we would dominate for years. Boiling piss ensued I'm sure.
Now I can see them praying for the day when Pep leaves, leaving us seemingly (hopingly for them) rudderless. Let's face it, It's gonna be a helluva job for whoever takes over from Pep.
Thankfully he has stayed when, in reality he could walk into any club or international team in the world.
Let's pray to our Gods that he stays another 10 fucking years.
I travel around SE Asia quite a bit and I can report our fan base is growing like a 45degree line on a graph, these redtops will hate that. I see City shirts around Brisbane and the Gold Coast here, unheard of 10 years ago.
Agreed. It was the soundbite that has stayed around us since it was all announced. The 115 charges has made a win less likely and has held things up due to the complexity of all those charges. It will mean we win the case eventually but a certain amount of damage will have been caused, which was probably their plan all along….Yeah it's very nasty business from the red cartel / media.

But then that's as just a wild conspiracy theory as the one that was replied to.
Double like. It’s exactly what they’re doing!The red shirts pushed for us to be charged precisely for this. Not because they thought we'd be guilty but to devalue any wins and get people focusing on the 115 charges.
Their minions and glorified fanzine writers in the media are only too happy to do that for them.
Grade A ****.****.
AmendedGrade A fucking ****.
Currently in Thessaloniki for a few days and there’s a marked difference in the response to “we’re from Manchester”. It’s met with “City or United?” now not just the assumption that everyone from Manchester is a rag. First young guy I spoke to at the hotel likes City because of Erling Haaland.The SE Asia market is something Rags & Dippers used to go on about, noodle sponsors, crowds like the Beetles & yet when I travel there it’s about Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe & Haaland. There’s fuck all Rags & Dippers last month & yet there are are Saudi & Miami shirts.
City are massive now & the funniest thing I saw was a retro Alfie Haaland Eidos shirt for sale for $500….. call my cynical but I reckon that’s more to do with Big Erl ;)
Post of the season.“Validation”
I’m seeing this word pop up more and more recently so the question is does anyone seek “validation” for all the success we have had (and continue to have)?
Does having 2180 pages on what the media are saying about us show that we do deep down seek validation?
Whether it’s human nature or a British mentality, people just don’t like anyone being at the top.
I could create an anti city bingo of what people come out with, we could even create a weekly game similar from anything written in the media to on social media and we would all get full houses each week.
When they can’t critique the performances they call it boring.
When you continue to perform to a high level never seen before they call it uncompetitive.
When you hire the right people in the right positions and have a plan in place to recruit well in all areas they call it obscene spending.
When there are a splattering of empty seats on show it’s the emptyhad regardless of whether it is two mins before or after half time and the fans are shit.
When there is a quiet moment in the game it is library and the fans are shit.
When fans don’t act like they are listening to an encore at a Slipknot concert when celebrating a sixth goal v Burnley they are shit fans who are bored with winning.
And when you have exhausted all excuses then we are cheats.
It’s not just us either, no one has ever looked upon any dynastys/successful periods and not had some form of stick.
Leeds under Revie were dirty horrible bastards to an extent that 50 years later they are known as dirty Leeds and people hate them for no other reason in that they are Leeds.
United were hated under Fergie whether it was getting decisions or influencing referees, even their fans were labelled prawn sandwich brigade.
Chelsea under Mourinho were boring and negative, playing anti football and “ruining” English football due to how much they were spending.
Even Arsenal under Wenger were criticised for being too foreign.
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve contributed to the thread in the past and had a moan about the wankers who write stuff about our club but at the end of the day, if we didn’t see any media would it effect on how we support our club?
On Sunday we will hopefully be crowned champions of England for the 10th time, and I have now reached a point where I just could not give a fuck what Nick Harris, Miguel Delaney and all the other freaks will be repeating for the sixth time in seven years. Some of them have their whole careers on the line based on the outcome of our hearing. In 25 years, no one will have a clue who these people are, they will be long forgotten, but everyone will remember how good this team and club are and it will be in the history books to remind those who aren’t even born yet.
Enjoy it!
I remember a few handshakes when they won the league in October. After a late, deflected winner against CityArsenal have been “over celebrating “ all friggin season , Media wankers
Spot on.The red shirts pushed for us to be charged precisely for this. Not because they thought we'd be guilty but to devalue any wins and get people focusing on the 115 charges.

Sky.Where has all this over celebrating last nights win shit come from?
How many young guys did you ask?Currently in Thessaloniki for a few days and there’s a marked difference in the response to “we’re from Manchester”.

Not happening anytime soon.Now I can see them praying for the day when Pep leaves, leaving us seemingly (hopingly for them) rudderless.
